Prologue
Once upon a time there was a king named Mana Walker. He ruled over a great kingdom and yet he carried great sadness. More than anything he longed to have a child to rule over his kingdom for he was not getting any younger. He worried he would never have one because he was a widowed king. Then, one beautiful day, a little baby bundle found its way to the doorsteps of King Mana's castle. He made his usually roundabout of the castle when he heard the crying baby on the doorstep. Curious, he followed the sound and there on his doorstep was a baby with the most sparkling silver eyes. He looked around to see whom it may belong to but he found nothing except a note. The note read, "Oh my dear and kind king! Please hear a dying woman's request. Take the baby and raise it as your own. I will die happily if he is taken into your care." This was the entire note said, nothing more and nothing the least.
To say the least, Mana was quite shocked by the note and wondered who this boy's mother was. He tried to find out by giving the hand written note to an expert on all who write letters in his kingdom. However, he could not decipher who wrote the note. Currently, Mana was cradling the small baby and hushed its crying by humming gently. He spoke to the baby, "There there young one. It will be alright." Mana walks with a faithful servant out to the balcony. As he arrived on the balcony he looked to the servant and said, "Sound the trumpet with….with wonderful and joyous sound." He smiled down at the baby in his arms as he will honor this baby's mother's dying words from the note. He had no clue if it was just by chance or fate from above. He didn't care because he had an heir to the royal throne now. He sees the baby is a baby boy and smiled more brightly. As the trumpet sounded throughout the kingdom, every citizen paused at what they were doing. Even the children stopped playing at the sound of the trumpets blast. Once King Mana saw that everyone was looking up, he lifted up the baby and said, "Let it be know this day and at this hour that I, King Mana, have an heir to the throne! Please rejoice and spread word to the neighboring kingdom! Come to a banquet to welcome, Prince Allen Walker!" The citizens of the kingdom, young and old, busted out in happiness as they quickly spread around the gossip to the neighboring kingdoms.
One of the neighboring kingdoms belonged to that of the widowed Queen Klaudia and her young son, Prince Lavi. Along with other kingdoms, they arrived to welcome the new baby prince into the world of royalty. Prince Allen received many gifts but among them was something from Prince Lavi himself. He gave baby Allen a swan pendant that was made of silver to match Allen's silver eyes. Prince Lavi smiled and shook a rattle to entertain young Prince Allen when he was there visiting. At seeing the two young princes get along, both Mana and Klaudia happened to stumble upon the same crazy wonderful idea. When Allen was five or six, he and Lavi would meet every summer time in the hopes that the two would fall for each other. After all, if they united two kingdoms then they would have more job opportunities and housing for the homeless in their kingdoms. Oh what a wonderful crazy idea they had planned out for their two sons.
As Klaudia and Mana rejoiced in their idea that they happened upon, there was another with an evil plan that consisted of taking over Mana's kingdom. That idea belonged to the evil enchanter, Tyki Mikk. Allen's acceptance into Mana's kingdom was of little concern to him. Tyki wanted Mana's kingdom to rule over all for he was selfish and greedy. Tyki taught himself the power of the dark arts and plotted Mana's downfall. On the eve of Tyki's planned attack, he was stopped by Mana's army before he could strike. Tyki was caught by the leader of Mana's army which was General Cross Marian. Even though many, including General Cross, wanted Tyki's head on a silver platter, Mana commanded that Tyki be banished from the kingdom forever. Tyki was mad that somehow Mana found out about his attack. If you thought Tyki was done, he wasn't done with Mana. Not by a shot in the dark, he was not done with him. He made sure to let Mana know it. As Mana watched from atop his horse, looking down upon Tyki, he claimed to him with Cross's army present, "Tyki Mikk….for your crime to try to assassinate me and rule my kingdom. You are hereby banished from my kingdom and to live in the woods, forever." Tyki smirked and was pushed towards the woods from Cross. Tyki turned around and faced Mana one last time and spoke, "I'm not done with you Mana. Not done with you, you hear me! One day….one day Mana! Everything you ever had and everything you ever loved will become mine." As Tyki walked away into the deep woods, Cross looked at Mana gently. Cross along with other citizens thought Mana too kind and caring for his own good. Cross had a bad feeling that this will not be the end of Tyki Mikk. For some reason, his body shook a little in fear of the enchanter as they made it back to the kingdom.
