April 13, 2038
Third Person's POV:
In the magical world of Atixia, where dragons soared the skies and goblins lurked in ancient forests, the date was April 13, 2038. A sense of anticipation hung in the air as King Ryujin Kyrios Icarus and Emperor Seokwoo Aeryn Reagan Dino concluded their week-long private meeting. The subjects they had delved into ranged from the enigmatic figure of Yuhan Cyrus Voltaire to the intricate dynamics of politics, trade, and agriculture that shaped their kingdoms.
The regal realm of Atixia was unlike any other. Royalty here possessed not only power but also the gift of magic. Each royal was accompanied by a majestic pegasus, a symbol of their status and the essence of this enchanted land.
King Ryujin, unique among royals as an intersex monarch, was a central figure in this tale. She hailed from the Icarus Royal Family, a lineage with a closely guarded connection to the enigmatic world of Devils. It was a secret known to very few, and this heritage set her and her siblings apart as a unique blend of demon, magical human, and lycan blood.
Today marked the culmination of their important discussions, and a sense of relief washed over the leaders. Yet, amid the grandeur of the royal setting, a touch of domestic warmth and lightheartedness emerged.
In the courtyard of the palace, King Ryujin's little Fenrir, Shin, a wolf-like creature with a playful spirit, engaged in a delightful game with Prince Jeongwoo Neil Raegan Dino. The prince, Emperor Seokwoo's younger brother, couldn't help but smile as he played with the energetic creature. It was a beautiful sight, a moment of respite in a world filled with regal responsibilities.
The meeting was not without its surprises. As the discussions concluded, Emperor Seokwoo presented King Ryujin with three mysterious dragon eggs. These eggs, rumored to belong to the Wyvern Dragon, the Pyrausta Dragon, and the Basilisk Dragon, held a promise of new adventures and challenges. The mysteries of the dragon eggs tantalized the king's curiosity.
With a mixture of excitement and anticipation, King Ryujin entrusted the precious eggs to her dear friend and loyal guard, Captain Hyunsuk Neill Lorenz. She knew they would be well cared for.
However, something even more pressing occupied her thoughts. She had decided to embark on a journey, mounted on her faithful companion, Shin. The destination was a place of immense mystery and power, the portal to the underworld located in Islesbury Town, on the border between the Noir Kingdom and the Physalis Kingdom.
Reisse, the ageless son of Lucifero, the King of Devils, would accompany her on this perilous journey. Reisse's youthful appearance masked his astounding chronological age of 215 years. He had become a trusted companion and friend, even in the face of his daunting lineage.
As the sun cast long shadows across the palace courtyard, King Ryujin prepared herself for the journey ahead. Her heart was filled with a blend of determination, curiosity, and the weight of the responsibility that came with her royal lineage. The Devil Binding Ritual held the promise of unlocking ancient secrets, but also the potential for unforeseen consequences.
It was a journey that made King Ryujin forgot that two days ago it was her first wife, Queen Jimin Seven Aerial-Icarus' 19th birthday. Maybe the King forgot it when talking with her godbrother, Emperor Seokwoo about the other things that they talk about.
Going into the unknown portal and the Underworld can make people like King Ryujin have trust issues into trusting anybody into her own inner circle without the Icarus Royal Council interfering.
