The News
"And in celebration to my daughter on her sixteenth birthday, I urge you all to..." The King's words were cut off as both doors opened wide. Slowly, a crooked back appeared, bending over a cane. The Crone looked at all the people, then at the daughter who was standing at her father's side.
"The end is near!" She shouted. "The end of the kingdom as we know it! I have sen a vision!" She pointed at the daughter, who stumbled backwards. "You! You are an imposter. I have seen it. A babe at birth switched with another. The true princess is lost. She remains within these walls...I know not where. But you, you are not who you once thought. The end of the Kingdom as we know it is at hand." She turned and left, leaving turmoil as she closed the doors...
The Beginning && Aftermath
So it all started sixteen years ago, when the second daughter to the thrown was born. The Kingdoms of Forza and Scientia have alwyas been strained, and here the king of Forza saw opportunity. He decided that he would steal the second daughter and raise her somewhere else entirely, using the information as a bargaing chip whenever he saw fit in the future. However, what he didn't see coming was a treaty that proclaimed peace. Being a smart King, he decided the best way to settle it would be to forget about the entire thing, and not reveal that the King of Scientia was missing a daughter. That would only result in war and turmoil.
Sixteen years later, the crone had a vision, revealing what the King of Forza had done so many years ago. She travelled into the city walls of Scientia and let loose a ticking bomb. The King was humiliated and at a loss, wondering where his true daughter could be. He commanded a war to start right away against the people of Forza, and he closed the borders between the two cities, not letting any Forza people back in their own towns for fear they would bring back information. He advised his people not to speak with the Forza people and make sure they had everything under control, but who ever truly has control?
What are we left with??
What side are you on? Where do your loyalties lie? Who within these walls is the lost princess? And who is the Prince of Forza?? No one knows?? I suppose only...
