Telamon

BACKSTORY

Telamon was the most powerful king in all of Robloxia, ruling alongside his wife, Queen Brighteyes, and their son, Prince 1x1x1x1. He was a just leader who always sought the best for his kingdom. He wasn't overly generous, but he ensured his citizens lived with dignity and stability. However, as a father, he left much to be desired. He spent much of his son's childhood attending to the affairs of the kingdom, which ultimately created a distant, cold, and hostile relationship between them. Even so, he never made the slightest effort to repair that bond. To most, he was a stern, reserved, and stoic king, someone who never allowed his emotions to interfere with his decisions.

That afternoon, Telamon wandered aimlessly through the castle gardens. From time to time, he picked a flower between his fingers to admire it for a few moments before carefully returning it to its place. His enormous dark wings remained folded behind his back as he slowly made his way along the gravel paths. Deep crimson rosebushes lined the way, and vines climbed the stone arches, swaying gently in every breeze. The silence of the place offered him one of the few moments of tranquility he found, far from the weight of the crown and the endless responsibilities of nobility. The day before, he had argued with 1x1x1x1, and neither had spoken to the other since, though that conflict had almost faded from his thoughts.

As the sun began to set, the sky was covered in shades of pink, blue, orange, and crimson, as if the horizon had been hand-painted. Instead of returning to the castle, he continued walking through the kingdom's streets. Most of the citizens were already resting in their homes, though some were still out. As he passed, they all bowed respectfully. He barely noticed them. He had no destination; he simply enjoyed wandering aimlessly, far from everything.
