Chapter 2 - Prologue

In the heart of the continent, there once lay a vast and untamed land known as Pente.

It was overlooked by neighboring nations, deemed too wild and barren to seize. Its rivers ran fierce, its forests filled with secrets, and its earth bore little bounty. For generations, it remained untouched, a realm of solitude in the grand tapestry of the continent.

But destiny had other plans.

With the emergence of five remarkable heroes, the destiny of Pente transformed. Ember Cyrus, the Healer of all, mended wounds and cured ailments with a touch of grace. Markus SteelBlade, the Invincible Knight, defended the realm's borders with unwavering courage. William Bernard, the Puppeteer, wove intrigues and held the strings of influence. Oliver KenWood, the Genius Strategist, orchestrated victories with brilliant intellect. And Jorge SunMoon, the Wise Ruler, guided the kingdom toward prosperity and peace.

Together, these heroes breathed life into the once-scrawny land. They raised mighty castles and thriving cities, and with every brick, they etched their names into the annals of history. Each hero chose their surname with profound significance, and under their collective vision, Pente blossomed into a thriving kingdom. They established duchies, baronies, and even viscounties, carving the land into a realm of order and purpose.

Yet, it wasn't only the heroes who contributed to this transformation. Others, too, lent their efforts and talents to the kingdom's growth, and in gratitude, they were granted nobility and authority. Pente emerged as a realm where the fervor of its people matched the splendor of its cities.

Among the noble families, the lineage of the Puppeteer once held the title of viscount, but a century ago, the tides of suspicion and fear swept through the realm. After the untimely deaths of the heroes and the ruler, the majority of the nobles and the kingdom's inhabitants deemed their powers malevolent. Under mounting pressure, the ruling council and the king demoted them to the status of barons. Thus, when miss Violet was born, she entered the world as a member of a baronny, bearing the weight of her family's legacy.

In this ever-evolving realm, our story begins.
