Once upon a time, in the enchanting kingdom of Agarla nestled beyond the horizon, dwelt a noble lineage renowned as the Royal Guardians, a family tasked with the solemn responsibility of safeguarding the realm from malevolent forces and upholding the principles of justice for all its inhabitants. At the helm reigned the first king, a formidable figure imbued with the guardianship of the four elemental forces that held sway over the kingdom's very essence. With sagacity and benevolence, he steered the kingdom towards prosperity, shielding his subjects from the encroaching shadows of peril. Conversely, the King of Darkness presided over the darkland, an accursed domain where transgressors were consigned, relentlessly scheming for escape but thwarted at every turn by the indomitable power of the first king. Recognizing the mantle of leadership passing to the capable hands of his eldest daughter, Princess Mary Windsor, the first king divested himself of his throne, entrusting its weighty responsibilities to her capable stewardship.
In an unforeseen turn of events, a malevolent darkness descended upon the kingdom, but the king marshaled his formidable magical prowess to repel the looming threat, restoring peace and tranquility to the land. Over time, Queen Mary honed her regal acumen, emerging as a compassionate and astute ruler cherished by her people. Amidst the tapestry of her reign, she found solace and companionship in the affection of a valiant and tender-hearted human named Levi Battenberg, whose devotion transcended all bounds. Witnessing the sincerity of Levi's love, Queen Mary bestowed upon him immortality and mystical powers, uniting their destinies in matrimony and anointing Levi as the king of Agarla. Together, as sovereigns of the realm, they governed with unity and vigilance, their shared commitment to safeguarding their realm unshakeable.
Through the annals of time, the royal couple bore six children, each blessed with unique forms of magic that further enriched the kingdom's legacy. Amidst the flourishing harmony, a momentous occasion graced the royal household as Queen Mary gave birth to a radiant baby girl christened Princess Thera Nature, heralding jubilation and mirth throughout the kingdom. Eager to share their joy with their subjects, the king and queen extended an invitation to a festive naming celebration in honor of the newborn princess, where the populace bestowed their gifts and well-wishes upon the cherished heir. Amidst the jubilant gathering, each member of the royal family tenderly imparted their blessings upon the infant princess, a poignant testament to the enduring legacy of the Royal Guardians and the boundless love that illuminated their realm.Â
It is now the moment for the parents to partake in the proceedings. The king and queen stand poised to bestow their blessings upon princess Thera when a sudden transformation in the sky plunges it into a darkness akin to nightfall. Amidst this eerie backdrop, a mysterious creature descends from above, captivating the attention of all present. At the helm of these ominous beings stands none other than Prince Samuel Windsor, the queen's own younger sibling. Motivated by a sinister ambition to seize the throne and harness the extraordinary magic inherent in the infant princess, Samuel plots to exploit her powers, which are regarded as one of the pivotal elements governing the kingdom. His heinous scheme involves manipulating and utilizing Thera until she reaches the age of 17, at which point he intends to unleash her abilities to wreak havoc upon the city, paving the way for his ascension and the fulfillment of his nefarious designs.Â
The king and queen found themselves in a fierce battle against the creatures invading their kingdom, feeling overwhelmed and unsure of how to protect their newborn baby from the chaos. Amidst the chaos, a spark of inspiration struck the king, and he swiftly devised a plan to ensure the safety of their child. Utilizing a blow horn, he urgently summoned his trusted old friend, Lino Angun, to come to their aid at the palace without delay. Within a mere half-hour, Lino Angun arrived at the royal abode accompanied by his wife, Fivonth Lilac. Understanding the gravity of the situation, the king and queen entrusted their precious infant to the care of Lino and Fivonth, instructing them to transport the baby to their secluded village situated on the other side of the mountain, nestled deep within the encompassing woods.
In this secluded village, far removed from the turmoil of the kingdom, Lino and Fivonth would raise the child in safety and secrecy until the time was right to reveal the truth about her lineage. With a heavy heart but resolute determination, the king and queen bid farewell to their daughter, watching as Lino and Fivonth departed in their vehicle, navigating cautiously to evade the lingering creatures that still roamed the land.
As the mysterious events unfolded in Agarla, the magical spell finally dissipated, restoring all the inhabitants to their original forms. However, amidst the jubilation of the populace's transformation, a shroud of uncertainty loomed over the fate of the king and queen. Despite the efforts of diligent scientists and investigators scouring for traces of the royal couple, their whereabouts remained elusive, leaving a void in the hearts of the people and a lingering question mark on the future of the kingdom.
Over the course of many years, the once delicate princess blossomed into a woman of remarkable beauty and unfaltering kindness. Residing in a secluded village concealed behind towering mountains, she sought refuge in the company of Lino and his wife, who devoted themselves to ensuring her safety. The princess, known as Thera, harbored the hope that one day she would uncover the long-concealed truths about her lineage and family history. Oblivious to the malevolent forces that lurked in the shadows, manipulating her innate magical gifts for nefarious purposes, she remained innocent to the peril threatening her kingdom and the loved ones within. Meanwhile, Thera's parents held onto the glimmer of hope that their daughter, despite her tender age, would eventually grasp the looming dangers that loomed over the royal bloodline. Yet, the princess, shielded from the harsh realities by her youth, remained untouched by worries or fears, unprepared for the grave responsibilities that awaited her in the tumultuous future ahead.
Upon opening the front door of her quaint cottage, Thera, a stunning young woman adorned with both beauty and intellect, her long brown hair neatly tied in a ponytail, stepped outside. Holding a book in her hand, she deeply inhaled the crisp morning air while casting her gaze towards the distant windmill in the village. With a sense of purpose, she set off towards the lively village, exchanging warm hellos with familiar faces along the way before making her way to the cozy confines of the local library. Upon arriving, Thera greeted the librarian and returned the book she had finished, inquiring about any new arrivals. To her disappointment, there were none since the previous day, but undeterred, she opted to borrow her beloved favorite once again. The librarian, taken aback by her unwavering fondness for the book, insisted that she keep it, much to Thera's delight. Grateful for the unexpected gift, she thanked the librarian profusely before heading back home, eager to immerse herself once more in the familiar pages.Â
As Thera entered her home, she joyfully announced her arrival to her aunt and uncle, who welcomed her with open arms. Her aunt promptly enlisted her help in preparing breakfast, only to realize that their supply of berries had been depleted. Tasked with replenishing the stock, Thera cheerfully grabbed a basket and set off towards the woods to gather fresh berries. Unbeknownst to her, her uncle Lino, observing from a distance, felt a mix of pride and concern as he watched her venture into the wilderness.
Before departing, Lino cautioned Thera against venturing into the mountains, to which she assured him of her compliance. With a quick exchange of goodbyes, she made her way to the stable to fetch her horse, Teddie. As she rode off in search of berries, her uncle's watchful gaze lingered on her, a mix of admiration for her independence and a tinge of worry for her safety in the untamed expanse beyond the mountains.Â
After a few minutes of searching, she finally located the luscious berries she had been looking for. With a grin, she gracefully dismounted Teddy and began delicately plucking the ripe berries from their vines.Â
Lost in the melody of her own humming as she gathered the sweet fruits, she suddenly became aware of a peculiar sound echoing from across the mountain. Eager to unravel the mystery, she turned to her loyal companion Teddy, her trusty steed, for support. Despite her uncle's warning to stay clear of the other side of the mountain, her insatiable curiosity drove her to venture forth towards the source of the enigmatic noise. Without hesitation, she mounted Teddy once again and urged him onwards towards the mysterious sound. Through dense forests and challenging terrain, they ascended the mountain until finally, they reached its peak. What lay before them was a sight to behold - a grand and bustling city sprawled out below, a stark contrast to the serene wilderness they had left behind. The city teemed with life, its streets pulsating with the energy of a population numbering in the millions. Amidst the concrete jungle, echoes of classical music floated through the air, infusing the city with a sense of harmony and grace. A harmonious blend of tradition and innovation, the city stood as a testament to the enduring spirit of human creativity. Nestled amidst majestic mountains and overlooking the glistening sea, the city exuded a tranquil yet vibrant aura. Entranced by the city's beauty, she was suddenly brought back to reality by the sound of her name being called from somewhere within the bustling streets.
