In the small kingdom of Tryn, located in the southern/western hemisphere, a cabinet gathering was being held to discuss their current crisis.
"We need to speed up the summoning process at all cost. The Bayonetta Wyrm is on our doorsteps. If our spies our correct, it will be at the capital in less than 5 days! We need a hero, or I am afraid, we wouldn't make it past the winter! We have nothing strong enough to kill it. We will barely be able to hold it off. Can the princess get it ready in time?"
The man sitting at the head of the table smiled grimly "She will, but even if the summoning works, from all the legends, the hero will be as weak as a new born baby. His potential will be greater than the entire kingdom, but the war is on our doorstep."
"Yes your majesty, but the other possibilities are even worse, we would be crushed. I don't imagine we will have time to train him but atleast he can run off with your children, to start a resistance for when we fall. That is the current goal. We will hold of the wyrm until the summoning."
Sitting behind the door, peeking through the keyhole was a blond women, who barely looked legal, Nianna Highbrook the princess, who will turn 18 in 5 days….
Later that night, Nianna, or Nia as she preferred to be called by her friends, found herself pacing her wings corridor. In three days, all that she had worked on for the past 3 years of her life will be tested. Her summoning circle, which has become the pride of the kingdom, and the populations last hope rests on her shoulders.
As a princess, Nia, had a life that most would cherish and envy. She had the world's best tutors, the greatest entertainment, clothes, accessories, and magical items. Yet, she faced the same problem all princess face, feeling like you are stuck in a cage, deemed to be viewed and talked to, but with no real purpose. This is why, that 15 months ago, when she snuck into the High Council meeting, she laid out all of her cards. Nia will not continue to live her life in this cage, and she is planning on using the summoned hero as her key.
This one hope, has been circling her inner thoughts every day. Her dreams filled with different visions of what the hero might look like, the type of man he would become. Her fantasies eventually became a full blown obsession, as Nia put all of her hope into one man she had yet to meet. Nia was a strong woman, but a woman with no worldly experiences all the same. So, Nia, the naive girl grew up believing that life was just like the romance novels that she always loved, and maybe it was a little silly, but she always wanted to be the damsel in distress, ready to be picked up by a hero. Her time was coming, and she would be damned if anyone got in her way.
"You will be mine hero!" Nia said with a delirious smile.
Over the years, many men has competed for Nia's hand in marriage, partly due to her extremely good looks, but mostly due to her mothers bloodline. One that was passed down from the Prophet Monarch. Nia inherited the Prophets bloodline special trait, the All seeing Eyes, an ability to see into one's past and future. With the war brewing between the most terrible of the five kingdoms, Bayonetta, her worst fears may be realized if the summoning doesn't go as planned.
Her mother, told her that she was destined for greatness right before her death. She told Nia to follow her heart, and continue to persevere. That love would find her.
3 days later
In the coming years, people will ask the small kingdom of Tyrn, how did they perfect the summoning ritual, when so many nations around the world tried to repeat the kingdom of Vicar's famous Dorian Silcliffe who summoned the first hero. The future answers given will be false however, as only the Princess knows the true secret to the summoning ritual. One she figured out three years ago, a Tear of Last Hope. (This was an even greater catalyst than Dorian, who used blood in exchange for a Man's last wish). The effects of the Tear were profound, as it symbolized Nia's unwavering love and resolve. Bounding the Summoner to the Hero for eternity.
"It's ready father, I will now commense the summoning. Mage council please follow after me … " the young princess said as she cleared her eyes. She had poured everything she had into this summoning. She smiled and thought inwardly, Come to me my future husband.
A huge bright light encapsulated the capital as all the magical energy condensed into the magical array located in the palace gardens. As the light died out, nothing was seen. Did it fail!? But before any one could mutter a discord, another flash happened; but it was much farther away, some 100 miles. A 2 day ride from the capital.
