Original Stories Fan Fiction ❯ A feeling of not belonging ❯ Prologue ( Prologue )

Prologue:

 

In a nation divided into many Kingdoms, Kingdoms which are named based on the ruler and the civilians of the Kingdom, one may be bemused by which Land they actually belong to.

There are several Kingdoms co-existing close to one another, but whether they are allies or at war depends entirely on the decisions made by the Land's ruler and the messenger.

 

One Kingdom is Bellusager, beautiful land, the ruler is a beautiful queen by the name of Leda. She is the oldest child of the new generation of the royal family, so she was entrusted with the title of `queen' right after she was born, although she is a female. All of the civilians of Bellusager tend to have somewhat beautiful features, may it be their flawlessly baby soft skin, their perfect shining hair, or just the reflecting image of another in their perfect eyes. But as being beautiful, the civilians of Bellusager tend to think themselves superior to all the other kingdoms, only because of their outward appearance, but not all their civilians can say that they are beautiful enough to really be in Bellusager.

 

Another Kingdom is Fidelisterra, loyal country, where their leader is the not-so-well-known Rex. The royal family is well known for being loyal to its country and its subjects, but King Rex has only just recently been appointed King due to the untimely passing of his older cousin who was crowned King 2 years ago. The members of the royal council tend to be loyal to the King… but that is slowly starting to change.

 

Another Kingdom close by is Ageratra, land of Darkness, whose ruler is the intoxicating beauty queen Mab, who was named after the Queen in the Irish legends. It is said that Ageratra was once called Agerlumen, land of light, since Ageratra was once at the horizon where the sun would rise over it, shining as though it was a holy and sacred land. But now only dark clouds and thunder storms rise over it. No one really knows what happened, many legends say that Ageratra is cursed… others say it's just the climate control. But what ever the cause, the civilians have adapted to their new found darkness, their skin has gotten paler, and their eyes have adjusted so now they are incapable of leaving Ageratra without wearing tinted eye wear.

 

There are many other kingdoms not too distant from these three, but among all the kingdoms, there are some who feel that they do not belong in any of the Lands, whether they are not beautiful enough for Bellusager, a civilian from Ageratra wanting to cross to Fidelisterra but can not cope with the light, or just someone who doesn't want to be stereotyped. These people end up being mercenaries or bandits out side the walls of each kingdom, they are generally harmless but since they live out side the naturally resources built inside they tend to steal from people passing outside the Kingdom walls.
