Synopsis

Chapter 1 - The youthful hair of Osiris

In the depths of a world torn apart by wars between species, proudly named "the war of humans against monsters" by humans themselves.

There is a grandiose kingdom, respected and feared not only because of its flourishing economy but also because of its army made up of elite soldiers.

This kingdom is called "the kingdom of Fedei" and is ruled by "Yoshi Tatsuimi" the king and his wife "Honea Tatsuimi" the queen.

The kingdom is located in the middle of the forest which was once feared because of the countless giant trees which formed it and was the perfect dwelling place for monsters but also because of the name it bears;

This forest was named "the youthful hair of Osiris" [1]

But now it looked much more like the hair of a bald person rather than the youthful hair of the god or death.

Much more thanks to the ancestors of the people of Fedei who, more than 400 years ago, came and destroyed three quarters of the forest to build their kingdom, killing at will every monster in their path, "Vampires, golems, beast, werewolves, etc...."

An action reducing the number of the forest monster population by more than half.

Thus creating a vast plain of more than 100 kilometers, it only took them 50 kilometers to build the kingdom of Fedei and the remaining 50 kilometers form a vast green plain which was often used as a battlefield in the event of war against monsters or just other humans like them because as they say, "humans are their own monsters".

400 years later "Ayanine", a little boy who had only 6 years of life on earth, A dark long hair tied as a ponytail with a golden hair bun, two shining brown eyes, dressed with a royal outfit was running in the corridors of the royal palace.

This little boy was none other than the fruit of Yoshi and Honea's love, he was their only son and therefore the heir to power, he was "the prince!"

The last two words of the previous sentence sounded from the mouth of a royal guard with a facial expression of both concern and surprise as he pointed his finger towards a small shadow that was escaping from the royal palace. It was Ayanine who was sneaking out of the castle towards the city.

The city of the kingdom of Fedei is in fact the only city in the kingdom.

It is large but subdivided into several respective districts including the merchant district which is an area filled with traders, it is the market.

One of the most important districts is the administrative district, where the respective offices of the kingdom's intellectuals are located and also served as a residence for the nobles.

But the district that interests Ayanine much more is the district which, according to him, is the entertainment district because in fact this district was filled with amusement parks and tree reserves.

That was what he saw as a normal 6 year old child because this neighborhood was in addition to being a fun spot for children, it was also the case for adults since it had inns , spacious and bright bars lined up on the alley and who says hostels says....I'll let you guess.

****

Ayanine was at the entrance to one of the neighborhood's tree reserves, so amazed by two squirrels who were performing an acrobatics by collecting nuts, perhaps to impress their young spectators, that he did not notice the little girl about ten meters in front picking mushrooms.

She was dressed in a fairly dark orange peasant dress with traces of seams in certain parts explicitly revealing the financial situation of her family, her outfit went down to her ankle where the toes of a foot, slightly reddened and wet from the dew which had spread on the grass during the night pointed out.

Above the outfit was a youthful face with angelic blues but with traces of melancholy and a night spent surely crying.

Ayanine, noticing a figure moving in the corner of his vision, turned around and saw the little girl.

He got up and started running towards her with a smile on his face and eyes full of curiosity as he approached...
