On her 18th birthday, Princess Aria wandered through the palace halls, drawn by an invisible pull to the ancient vault. It was a place filled with relics of Eldoria's storied past, and few dared enter without reason. Today, something called to her.
Inside, dust hung in beams of light as Aria traced her fingers along the old artifacts. Then, beneath a velvet cloth, she felt the cold metal of an intricately designed crown. The moment she touched it, a surge of energy rushed through her veins, making her gasp. Visions flashed before her eyes—mystic landscapes, battles, and a woman with glowing eyes who looked like herself but wasn't.
Suddenly, a voice sounded behind her. "Princess Aria." It was Eldric, the royal advisor, his expression grave. "You found the Crown of Light," he said softly, awe and worry mingling in his gaze.
"What is happening to me?" she whispered, her hand trembling as she withdrew from the crown.
"It has awakened your magic," Eldric replied. "You are the chosen one. The kingdom's magic has waited, and now it has chosen you to protect it from the dark sorcerer Malvaris, who seeks to plunge Eldoria into shadow."
In that moment, Aria's life changed. She was no longer just a princess; she was Eldoria's last hope.
