Shattered Crown

Kun awoke in an unfamiliar world, his past nothing but a hollow void. Wounded and weak, he wandered aimlessly until fate led him to the grand kingdom of Evergloam—a realm of splendor hiding deep, twisted shadows. Taken in by House Ravencourt, one of the kingdom’s four ruling houses, Kun learned the ways of nobility, swordsmanship, and leadership. Yet, whispers followed him, servants cast wary glances, and an unshakable sense of otherness clung to him. But Kun’s life was never meant to be peaceful. Darkness lurked beneath Evergloam’s illusion of prosperity, and when betrayal struck, Kun lost everything once more. Left to fend for himself, he was found by House Duskwhisper, a family of assassins and spies, where he was reshaped into something deadlier, something hidden in the shadows. Yet, the past never stays buried. The lost memories claw at him—the voice calling his name, the flashes of a paradise now in ruins, the overwhelming feeling that someone is waiting for him in the darkness. When he finally unravels the truth, Kun learns that he is no ordinary orphan—he is the key to a war far greater than the kingdom of Evergloam itself. Now, trapped between two forces—one that seeks to claim him and another that seeks to erase him—Kun must uncover the truth behind his origins, the fall of the Lost Paradise, and the two Calyxius who hold the answers to everything. One seeks to protect him. One seeks to own him. And in the end, the darkness within Kun may be the greatest threat of all.

Alexander threatened, his voice hard and tortured as he tried to recover from his emotional rollercoaster. "Oh really?" Damon drawled as he held up a wine glass to his lips, taking a sip as his eyes looked at the man that was standing quite a distance from him, ready to bolt. "Yes and I mean it your highness." Alexander replied and he watched the mischievous gleam that entered the prince's clear blue eyes that were quite a welcome compliment to his thick silver hair. "Alright." he relented and Alexander blinked, surprised but his relief lasted for seconds. "We will see how far you can run my honorable knight. Oh and just so you know, I love a good chase."

What is a man, if not a vessel of hidden truths and whispered deceptions? Beneath the fragile facade lies a labyrinth of secrets—truths buried so deeply they intertwine with the lies we tell ourselves just to survive another day. The masks we wear may fool the world, but they cannot hide the fractures within. Even those we hold closest, the ones we entrust with our hearts, may be the very hands carving unseen wounds into our souls, feeding them to the monsters lurking in the shadows. Blood tells no lies, flowing only when life is claimed, but even its crimson clarity is no guide to the truth. How does one find what is real when their very existence is a fractured mirror, splintered into shards that reflect only distorted glimpses of an identity lost? Each shard offers the promise of clarity, yet together, they form nothing but ruin. To uncover the truth is to brave the labyrinth, to face the darkness, and to risk losing what little remains of the self. For in the end, can a man truly hold a reflection if he no longer knows who—or what—he truly is? This is the path Aramith must brave. But does he truly know what lies ahead? Do his companions know what they are yet to face? They may never know, but the work they love might just be a small fragment, a piece of a bigger plan.
