Those Who Are Broken

"Courage, Destruction, and Faithful Protection"

The people of the land of Qi'aun are gloomy and distressed, and the impending war is doing nothing to relieve any aspect of those feelings. The royal army is doing their very best to calm the chaos between the lands, and the royal family is trying just as hard. There are many forces in which oppose the royalty of Qi'aun, several of which are very dangerous- Especially that of the Chrome, in which the name is never allowed to be spoken in public. Many rumors circle around the likes of this group, several of which, including the attempted assassinations of the three princes, were true.

As a last resort, the king of Qi'aun sent his three sons, Yu Xiu, Cai, and Shang to separate countries that were not a part of this war, for their own protection. Yu Xiu, the youngest, was sent to Ushen, to live with the son of the king's good friend. Cai, the middle child, was sent to Tai-Lan to stay with the family's distant relatives. Lastly, Shang, the oldest, was taken to Yuezui in order to meet his betrothed.

Though in separate places, these three brothers have a connection, and a strong one, at that. Though, bonds can be broken. As can people... Secrets are kept, lives are taken, and innocent blood is spilled. This is fact, and fact can not be changed. Fate is chosen and can not be turned in another direction.... Or can it?
