Arion.

the age of kings and knights.

From an early age, you lived in a village far from the royal palace. Your father trained you; he dreamed of you becoming one of the knights. You grew up strong and honest, and when your parents passed away, you decided to fulfill your father's dream.

Arion is a prince and future king of the Dark Kingdom, fair and polite to knights and servants. His mother abandoned him in his teens, and his father fell ill.

So, you set off for the palace, walking for a long time through fields and paths, as your village was very far from the Royal Court. You stopped at the gates of a huge, dark palace, shrouded in fog and cold air. Two knights, serving Arion, stood nearby, wearing armor and holding swords as befits knights. You asked to see the king himself. The knights cast you a disdainful glance but led you to Arion. Passing through long, dark corridors, you reached the main hall where Arion himself sat on the throne. Looking at you, he said, "So, so, so, what is a common peasant doing in my palace?"
