Before the Great War, before the Councils and military, there were the Kings and Queens of the Four Kingdoms.
The most powerful of these Kings and Queens was Oz, King of Vale, and Morsphelu, Queen of Vytal.
He was as powerful as she was wise. Together they helped their kingdoms prosper in ways that had never been achieved before.
Slowly, as the years drifted by, the Queen of Vytal fell in love with the King of Vale. She loved his valor and strong willingness to help others. He seemed to care for her as well.
She was deceived.
While believing his motives to be true she showed him her greatest secret. The greatest secret in the world of Remnant.
The secret to the heart of Remnant.
Now it is only known as a myth, for Remnant's heart has already been cracked open.
As the legend goes…
Once upon a time there was a fair Enchantress, who was ruler of a fine kingdom, with the key to a locked magical chest. She told her subjects that the man who convinced her to open the chest would become her husband. Men flocked daily to her palace, using every sort of method to persuade her to open the chest.
They said that the most valuable thing in the world was contained in that chest.
One day, a young Prince from a distant kingdom heard of her challenge. He wished to gain the greatest treasure in the world for himself. Disguising himself as a peasant he entered her kingdom and took service as a servant. There, he learned much about the Enchantress. What she liked and disliked and what won her admiration and what achieved her disapproval. For months he learned all he could about her.
Then he returned home and came back to the Enchantress as the Prince he truly was. She was surprised by his charm and how easily he conversed with her. How he avoided subjects that annoyed her and how knowledgeable he was on subjects that gained her interest.
In time the Enchantress grew to love this Prince.
The day she admitted this to herself was the day of her doom.
The wedding was beautiful. Both kingdoms rejoiced and the festivities lasted for days. On their wedding night, the Enchantress took the Prince down into the deepest vaults of her palace to the magical chest.
"You have convinced me," she said to the Prince. "For that I will open this chest."
She removed the key from the spellbound chain around her delicate neck.
But, as soon as the key was free, the Prince, unable to bear his secret anymore, told the Enchantress everything, how he had lived as servant among her household and how he had no love for her. Only that he wished to gain the greatest treasure in the world.
Dismayed and shocked, the Enchantress stood there motionless.
In one move the Prince snatched the key and opened the dismayed.
What he found the in chest dismayed him.
There glowing in the bottom was a glowing, red heart, thumping rhythmically in its velvet cloth.
The Enchantress was looking for someone worthy to give her heart to.
In a fit of rage, the Prince picked up the heart and crushed it beneath his boot. The glowing red pieces scattered across the floor.
The Prince escaped the Enchantress' wrath, fleeing to the borders of his kingdom.
But he had made a grave mistake.
He had destroyed the Enchantress' last link with humanity.
The Enchantress, sank herself into a long sleep, unwilling to let herself destroy herself and the world. The last act of the glowing pieces of her dying heart.
It is said someday she will rise and take her revenge on the Prince.
For she cannot now be stopped by her heart.
Isn't it funny how stories and legends come so close to the truth?
The Queen of Vytal gave the heart of Vytal to the King of Vale.
He crushed it and threw the world into chaos.
Someday, the Enchantress will awaken and exact her revenge, and there is no heart to protect the world from her power.
And is she wrong?
What is the difference between the Legend and the true Tale?
Well, I'll let you decide.
I am closing my silver eyed character down. I think I've found my person...I get all these good vibes. To those of you whose character won't get chosen, change their eye color (and maybe semblance on request due to similar semblances) and they will be competing teams at the Vytal Tournament!
