(Author's Note: This work is a prequel to the Mastery RP story on Amino.) Before magic, there was the Kingdom of Signautus, the mightiest kingdom in the world. The one who ruled it was a young king, appointed to the job far too early for his age. King Arno, he was popular amongst the ladies, he was confident in himself, but he faltered at times due to the stress of being a young king. His friend, Ruko, was nearly the polar opposite, dressed in dark armor, Ruko was strong, quiet, and sometimes made too many bold moves. But Ruko respected those he found worthy of his respect, he was loyal and hardworking. While Arno put up a facade of being the kind charming king, while he stressed over the responsibilities. The two made up for each-other's weaknesses, but this strength was broken when Arno fell in love with a woman, and the mark of the many years of war was to come.
