1. Prologue

Prologue

It is very simple how things work in our beautiful country. The first and foremost is the way our government works. There are three people that rule over the Kingdom of Spades. The first is the King, who above all protects his country and deals with all matters concerning the three other kingdoms: Hearts, Clubs, and Diamonds. The second is his queen, who, loves and serves her country with all her heart. She looks after everyone and everything inside of our borders. An unusual job appointed to the Queen is to give the king his 'energy'. Lastly, there is the Jack. He keeps all the records of the past and keeps the records up to date. Not many people know, but he is the first to be chosen, and he is the one who finds and protects the future king and queen. He is with them at all times.

Now, back to this energy business. The king and queen are somewhat born with magical abilities. He needs energy in order to use the powers he was born with but the only way he can get that energy is through his queen who has a never ending abundance of this power. Much is known about the king's power, but very little is known about the queen. It is why she is always the one sought after by kidnappers, murderers, etc.

Living in this country through the ages has been peaceful, but the memories of the dark time still haunt me to this very day...
