The Knight and His Prince

by mushroomcreams

Rescued from a sad, needless death, Marshall was gifted a second chance at life by the hands of the royal family’s son, Sylverious. The prince’s unrelenting kindness inspired Marshall, sparking the future knight’s urge to protect, and unexpectedly entwining their fates together forever.

Long ago, long before our kingdoms were built, before humans, lived the divine Ancestor Dragons.

They were many, they were powerful, and they were the ones who protected those who lived on the Earth long before us—all of nature.

But as divine and as long-lived the Ancestor Dragons were, they eventually began dying, one by one.

There was one dragon, the mightiest, the kindest, the most divine of them all, who knew that with them gone there would be no one to protect the lands.

So she devised a plan… a plan to pass on her lineage, so that the protection brought by the Ancestor and the Ancestor Dragons could continue.

Before she joined the earth, she imbued her divine blood into every living human, gifting them the powers of the Ancestor Dragons and granting them the duty of protecting the earth and its inhabitants.

But as time passed, her gift began disappearing from the humans, until there was no person left with the powers of the Ancestor Dragons…

…That is, so we think.

There is an ancient legend that says there will one day be born a child, within these lands, who embodies the divinity and purity of the Ancestor… A born leader who yet still harbors the lineage and powers of the Ancestor, destined to carry the torch of duty and continue protecting our lands, just as the Dragons did.
