"If you only recently knew that your whole life was a lie, what would you do?"
"Make it true."
Whistle was just an ordinary farmer's daughter who lived in the countryside of the Kingdom of Glyph. Blessed with the magical power to 'fix' everything, she was kept hidden in their farm by her parents who feared for their daughter. But secrets were spilled, word spread, a queen fell ill and soon a royal knight came knocking at their door.
Blackmailed, Whistle was forcefully sent to the Palace to help heal the Queen of Glyph. Little did anyone know, her powers weren't meant to heal but to fix. But it was in the Palace that she met the Third Prince of Glyph, Elian Pierre de Astra.
They became best friends in no time. However, no one would have expected that Whistle's powers could one day cause the biggest change in Elian's life.
But all Whistle did was fix things, so how could all this have been possible?
Unless, Elian actually needed fixing?
"You were never you. All you are is a lie."
"Yes, but not all."
He smiled and a dark miasma-like ball appeared in his hand.
Truths will be uncovered, lies will be discovered, and sparks will turn to fire. The true cause of the war will be known to all and it's up to Whistle and Elian to make things right.
Will the coal's value shine brighter in a sea of diamonds?

He was wearing a black long sleeved shirt that was fitted so you could see his muscles. There was something off about him though. Oh, I know what it was. His eyes were bright purple.
