[Once, there was a foolish leader who cared not for his subjects, and finally closed his eyes with their spears in his chest.]
The official story leaked out of the palace, now a common tale of morals among both children and the elderly.
They say that a single rumor is stronger than thousands of men.
Magic had not existed, had not been thought about- until the damned King returned to the capital city of Sumalin ten years after his fall.
He comes not with vengeance and the seeking of spreading his truth, but sorrow and longing for the very ones who had stabbed him in the back.
The once deceased, rumor-told monarch of Sumalin is Houshin Tahiro.
