Legend passes down a tale of folly in the most mysterious sense.
Long ago in a forgotten part of the world, in a forgotten era, lived a young prince by the name of Alexander. He lived in a dwindling kingdom on the edge of a cursed forest, and was ruthlessly controlled by his father, the king. Their empire, poor and poverty stricken, was on the edge of collapse; the kingdom's only hope was Alexander's marriage to a princess who ruled a wealthy realm, so that the two could join and become one, therefore saving the doomed kingdom. Young and impressionable as Alexander was, he agreed without a second thought of his father's demands and thus his life was laid before him. He was to be the sole hope of the survival of his kingdom.....
Or so it would seem.
