Synopsis
(Verse 1) In the stillness of her room, she lays, Lost in the echoes of her silent maze. Heavy heart, burdened soul, she prays, For a break in the clouds, a brighter phase. (Chorus 1) She's a whisper in the night, Yearning for a glimpse of light. In the shadows, she'll find her way, Hoping for a brighter day. (Verse 2) Every tear a melody, every sigh a song, In the symphony of sadness, she belongs. But beneath the sorrow, she grows strong, With a melody of hope, she'll carry on. (Chorus 2) A dancer in the rain, Seeking solace from the pain. In the storm, she'll find her grace, Yearning for a better place. (Bridge) In the silence, she finds her voice, A chorus of courage, her heart's rejoice. With each note, she breaks the chains, Finding strength in her deepest pains. (Chorus 3) A phoenix in the night, Rising from the ashes bright. In the fire, she'll find her flight, Longing for a dawn so bright. (Outro) So she'll sing her song, through the darkest night, Guided by the stars, she'll find her light. For in her melody, she'll soar high, A song of courage, reaching for the sky.

Chapter 1 - Natures born

The Royal Family of Heart

There is a royal family. In that royal family, there are six (6) members:

Father — Title: King Ave:

Immaculate in everything. Cold to inoperable people. An idol for his kingdom. Has a brother and a sister—though the sister was killed by his father. Age: 50.

Mother — Appellation: Queen Sue:

Sweet as sugar. Has two stepbrothers. Currently expecting a child. Age: 49.

Elder Brother — Title: Prince Liam:

Skilled in combat, brilliant at developing strategies. Cold to others, but a good person at heart who loves his family more than anything. Age: 24.

Middle Brother — Appellation: Prince Li:

A genius at creating ideas. Cold to people he sees as a waste of time. Loves his family deeply. Age: 22.

Second Middle Brother — Title: Prince Doung:

Excellent at managing affairs and incredibly smart, yet a scaredy-cat. Innocent and affectionate. Loves his family dearly. Age: 22 (identical twin of Li).

Youngest Brother — Appellation: Prince Simon:

The bravest and smartest of them all—except one. Occasionally childish, but loves his family more than anything. Age: 20.

The kingdom's name is Heart.

Ave's POV

Sue and I stood on the balcony, gazing at the vast expanse of our kingdom. The wind was calm, brushing against our robes like whispers of the past.

A guard approached and respectfully bowed."My lord," he said, "Wise Eve has come to speak with you in private."

I nodded and made my way to the throne room. There, the old woman was about to bow, but I gently stopped her.

"No need to bow to me," I said.

She smiled. I returned it.

I gestured for the guards to bring her a comfortable chair, then asked, "What is it that you wish to speak about?"

She looked at the guards, hinting with her eyes. Understanding, I dismissed them.

"Speak freely," I said.

Her voice was calm and sure. "The world, Your Majesty, is going to rest in your hands."

"What do you mean?" I asked, brow furrowed.

She continued, "The child Queen Sue is about to give birth to—the girl—she carries the Copul Crystal."

Copul Crystal

The Copul Crystal is one of the rarest and most powerful stones. Every 300 years, a chosen child is born carrying a crystal within. Among them, the Copul Crystal stands above the rest. There are two in the world, but one is more powerful than the other.

If either bearer dies at the hands of someone else, the world will descend into chaos and destruction. They are destined to sacrifice themselves for the world. Their power is tied deeply to their emotions. They excel in everything.

Other Crystals

Though thousands of crystals exist, there are ten most significant and powerful ones:

Copul = Eternity (can access all crystals)

Most of the powerful crystals are held by kings and queens, but normal people can have them too. One can identify a person's power by the symbol on their neck. Royalty have crowns atop their symbols.

Aime = Ability to become a mermaid, control pearls, and communicate with water species (extremely rare)

Refi = Ability to transform into fire and control it (very dangerous)

Tware = Controls and becomes water; can breathe underwater

Minup = Can control anyone except Copul bearers; extremely intelligent

Nima = Talks to and controls animals; they have wings. Orders from kings and queens override others—except those of Copuls

Ath = Controls land, grows plants from anywhere

Epot = Communicates with and controls the dead

Vipme = Vampiric powers; bloodsuckers. Vipme kings and queens often have anger issues

Lea = Healers; can take someone's strength to make them weak

No One's POV

After speaking with Eve, King Ave made his way toward Sue when he heard a scream. He knew instantly—it was Doung.

He ran to Doung's chamber and found a creature attacking him. Without hesitation, Ave grabbed a nearby fruit knife and stabbed the creature in the head, killing it instantly.

Doung was injured—his ankle badly hurt. As Ave helped him up, Liam entered the room, his expression grim.

"We've been attacked," he said. "By a creature from Noutre."

Noutre's Past with Heart

Noutre and Heart were once allies. Heart provided food; Noutre lent their creature armies. (Noutre are not humans—they're creatures.) But as Heart rose to power, Noutre betrayed them and attempted to assassinate Queen Sue.

Since then, King Ave despises Lco, the half-human, half-creature king of Noutre.

No One's POV

Ave ordered the soldiers to line up. Inside the training hall, Prince Li spoke.

"Father, I think we're underestimating them. Noutre's army is filled with deadly creatures. We cannot win this war."

Liam growled, "Then how do we win, Mr. Einstein?"

Ave crossed his arms. "Indeed, what do you propose?"

Li replied calmly, "We need to go to their king. We must assess their numbers."

Liam frowned. "We can't. It's not possible."

"But Simon can," Ave said slowly.

"True," Liam muttered. "But we need his permission first."

Simon's POV

I was peacefully eating chicken when Liam barged into my room.

"I have a task for you," he said.

I raised an eyebrow. "Like I'm going to do it?"

"I'll give you loads of chicken," he bribed.

I remembered the past—him asking me to take the blame for breaking a vase in exchange for chicken.

"No thanks. I'll tell the maids to bring me some. You even ate my leftover drumsticks last week. Get out."

Then Dad entered.

"Simon," he said, "I'll give you a mountain of chicken—but I need your help."

"Okay, Dad," I said. I trust him. He always keeps his word.

Just as he began to explain, a soldier burst in.

"My lord, the enemy is breaking the main gate!"

They all looked at me, eyes pleading. I sighed and nodded.

No One's POV

They rushed downstairs. At the gate stood Lco, smirking.

"Ready for battle, my dear old friend?" he said.

"I'm not your friend," Ave growled. "I'll never befriend a traitor like you."

Lco smirked darkly. "Oh, did I hurt your feelings, weakling?"

Before Ave could reply, Simon stepped forward.

"He'll duel you. Whoever wins—gets to display the other's body before both kingdoms."

Lco agreed, but Ave shot Simon a horrified glare.

"Do you want me dead? They won't let me take his body! If you hate me that much, kill me yourself—not like this!"

Simon whispered, "Trust me, Dad."

Lco scoffed, "My 10,000 men will never let you take me."

Simon smiled. "Underestimating us? Okay then—NOW!"

A loud bang echoed.

Lco turned to see his entire army… turned to ashes.

His eyes flared with rage. "You'll regret this, you piece of filth."

And then—he vanished.

Sue's POV

I was resting when a maid entered.

"My lady, the king has won the war."

I smiled softly. The maid bowed and left.

Doung entered next, pouting.

"What happened to my baby kitten?" I teased.

"Really, Mom? 'Baby kitten'? I'm not a baby! I'm a brave, intelligent adult!"

"Yeah, right. Oh look—cockroach!"

"WHERE?! WHERE?!" he screamed, clinging to me.

I laughed, "What happened to my brave man, hmm?"

No One's POV

Suddenly, Sue screamed. Doung froze, panic rising.

"What happened, Mom?!"

Then he noticed—the water had broken.

Ave, Simon, Li, and Liam burst into the room.

"Call the royal doctor, now!" Ave commanded.

The doctor arrived immediately. Ave tried to usher the boys out, but they resisted—too worried about their mother.

Eventually, he convinced them.

Moments later, the cries of a newborn filled the halls.
