Three years had passed since the fateful night that changed the kingdom forever. The once vibrant land was now a shadow of its former self, the laughter and joy replaced by fear and despair. Yet, amidst this darkness, a ray of hope shone brightly - the young prince, now a three-year-old boy, living with the humble farm family.
The boy, named Eli by his adoptive parents, was a bundle of energy. His laughter echoed through the small farmhouse, his innocent eyes sparkling with curiosity and wonder. Despite the darkness that loomed over the kingdom, Eli's presence brought a sense of hope and joy to the humble farm.
One night, as the moon hung high in the star-studded sky, Eli woke up with a start. His small body was drenched in sweat, his heart pounding in his chest. He had had a nightmare, a terrifying dream that left him shaking with fear.
In his dream, he saw a grand castle, its tall towers reaching up to the sky. He saw a beautiful woman with tears in her eyes, holding a baby close to her chest. He saw a dark figure, his face hidden under a hood, standing over a lifeless body. He heard the roars of monstrous creatures, their eyes glowing in the darkness. He felt a sense of fear, a sense of loss, a sense of despair.
Eli sat up in his bed, his small body trembling. He looked around, his eyes wide with fear. The familiar surroundings of his room, the soft glow of the moonlight streaming in through the window, the comforting presence of his adoptive parents sleeping in the next room, all seemed alien to him.
He didn't understand his dream, didn't understand the fear that gripped his heart. All he knew was that he felt a strange connection to the woman in his dream, a sense of longing that tugged at his heart.
As the night wore on, Eli lay awake in his bed, the images from his dream replaying in his mind. He didn't know it then, but his nightmare was a glimpse into his past, a past that was about to catch up with him. The young prince, unaware of his true identity, was about to embark on a journey that would change his life, and the fate of the kingdom, forever.
