Prologue
I invite you to join me in a new world. This world might be extremely similar to the one you yourself know, and yet it might be completely different as well. I suppose that is up to you to decide.
This is a world ruled by absolute monarchy. This is a world where your status is based on the power of your magic. This is a world where discrimination amongst brethren is almost unheard of. Skin color is hardly noticed. Being gay is like being left-handed. Slightly uncommon, but none too surprising.
In comparison with your own world this place might sound picture perfect. You would be mistaken. No matter where you are, perfection is equally unobtainable.
This world which we shall, for convenience sake, refer to as Gaia is divided up into several different kingdoms. For over three hundred years, the two largest kingdoms have fought mercilessly. The reason for which, no one really knows. The initiating reason of the war has been lost to the pages of history. Despite this, they continue to fight. They do it because they know of nothing else. They are bred deep with prejudice and fear of that which they do not understand.
Hartz, the kingdom of light-throwers, has mercilessly fought against Ne'erwas, the kingdom of fire-eaters merely because they have been told they should.
This story, though, is a story of change. This is the tale of the ceasefire between these two countries, due to the connection of their two young princes. This is the story of Axel, prince of the Kingdom of Ne'erwas, and Roxas, prince of the Kingdom of Hartz.
I invite you to join me in their world.
