~~~~~"Sometimes, darling, things are the way they're meant to be. And you? Well... You were meant to serve me."~~~
There was a young boy who found himself outside of the village gates of Falconworth, no memory of who he was, where he came from, or how he found himself pressed against a tree on the outskirts. He made his way into the village, only to find a middle-aged woman. She took him in and made him her own son, along with her three other children. The boy was called Lucious
Lucious lived in the village until seventeen years old, where he learned the past of the village through his adoptive mother and father. He learned that the village used to have supernatural residence, who were exiled after the death of Queen Esslyntra, an Elven queen married to a human king. Lucious grew to hate the supernatural races just like everyone else in Falconworth.
One day, a rebel leader known as Priscilla lead her troops into the village, they had failed three times before, but this time, they succeeded. They took humans as prisoners if they came across them, and kept the others shuttered into their homes. One of the humans taken captive was Lucious's adoptive father. Lucious went to his mother and begged her for help. She tells him of a story he had never heard before. The story off how a person would find themselves in the village gates and would tell a rebel princess everything about the village, allowing the supernaturals to take over.
Lucious leaves Falconworth on a quest. A quest to find the traitor of Falconworth, and to make them free the village of the curse placed on it.
But things... Don't go to plan.
