On December 13th, the year 666, the greatest disaster in the history of the Board had occurred.

The Fall of the Spade Kingdom.

King Alfred F. Jones the Spade King, Queen Arthur Kirkland the Spade Queen and Yao the Spade Jack were killed in a very bloody homicide committed by the greatest traitor in history – the Ace of Spades.

It is unknown why would the Ace of Spades execute regicide against the Spade royals. Many speculate it was because the King declared war against the Club Kingdom, but the Ace refused to participate, causing a very vicious and heated argument in which the Queen and Jack sided with the King.

Betrayed, the Ace decided to kill the Spade royals in cold blood to show everyone that they are not to be rifled against; willing to slaughter anyone who dares to get in their way. Several eye witness reports from servants of the Spade Palace saw the Ace of Spades mercilessly killing off the King, Queen and Jack in the most agonizing methods imaginable. But when the Ace finished their act of treason, they and the dead bodies instantaneously vanished with magic.

No one is able to clarify these reports since it is known that all of the Kingdoms' palaces are magic-guarded – only a King, Queen, Jack or Ace is capable of allowing outsiders inside their respective homes. The authorities could only rely on the memories of the servants they extracted from them.

Oddly enough, there was no new successors to claim the Spade royal positions; and with no ruler on the Throne, all of Spade territory became an anarchy. Eventually, every Spade citizen fled the ruined territories for it was being overrun by creatures of grim and devastation.

To this day, the remaining three kingdoms are on high alert to locate the traitorous Ace of Spades and bring them into justice. An enormous bounty is on their head for their capture dead or alive.

Unfortunately, no one knows who is the Ace of Spades. Any and all information pertaining about the Spade Ace is non-existent…as if they never existed. Strangely, not even the rulers of the other kingdoms could recall the traitor. They do not even recall if they are a male or female.

Some believe they are remained in the ruins of the Spade Kingdom; others believe the Ace was able to get the Jokers to transport them to a different location. Despite these ridiculous claims, everybody knows that the Ace of Spades is still at large and the authorities will stop at nothing to bring them in and demand justice-

"Next stop, Axis City."

A sigh escaped the teenager's lips as he closed his book before retreating it under his brown cloak. He exited off the train undetected by anyone. His head hung low, facing the ground as he slipped past security easily, exiting the platform and heading to the Heart Kingdom's capital.

I feel I didn't do a very good job with the prologue. I am very self-conscious of my work and my focus and confidence tends to dissipate; and also I have a tendency to skim stuff and be rather impatient. Maybe I'll rewrite the prologue.
