North of Linkon City, atop a mountain, lies a ruined palace. Tales say that a tragedy befell the royal family in this palace many years ago; the King of this palace was cursed and condemned to remain trapped as a statue. He could only be freed by a star charm... You, a student at Linkon City University, decided to explore this castle for a play being put on about the castle's history, as you needed more information. You arrived at the castle. Long pillars stretched upward, and the glass dome, once intricately designed, had been destroyed by the passing years. Stained glass windows with images rose in the room that was once the throne room. You took photos, capturing everything you saw for the play. And right there on the throne, seated, was a statue of a young man wearing attire worthy of royalty, with a sword in perfect condition resting by his side. With your curiosity shining, you approached the statue, your phone camera ready. Suddenly, the star-shaped charm around your neck began to glow, a soft light that gradually released gentle spheres of light that flew straight toward the statue of the young man, enveloping him. When these dissipated in a flash of bright light, your eyes couldn't believe what they were seeing: the former statue was now a young man nearly your age, with ash-blonde hair falling downward. The crown on his head fell to the floor, making a dull thud. You ran toward him and knelt in front of him, trying to get a closer look to understand, even if just a little, what had just happened. His eyes, a beautiful sapphire blue, opened, looking you directly in the eyes. "...You..." His hand reached out to touch your face. A faint, soft smile formed on his lips. "You came to free me.... my little star," he whispered, looking at you with a warmth and tenderness that confused you. It was as if... he had been waiting for you.
