Prologue - A Place for Music and Swordsmanship

The powerful kingdom of Shaoghal and the great kingdom of Acairè are one place in the diverging periods. Eight Centuries before and eight centuries thereafter lavished havoc upon both eras for wrath took care of a prickling lifelong torment.

The three knights of Acairè in the 6th Century will have to slither the time to meet the last descendant of One King in the 14th Century for both periods are after a single opposition. An enemy waiting to be known.

In the fallen Acairè of the 14th Century where its burnt castle nestled in the hills above the Elteshelle River, there lived a five-year-old orphan, Radelaine. Adopted by the wealthy Sarscheden Family from the neighboring kingdom of Takèif, Radelaine knew love since then.

The purest beauty and innocence of the orphan captivated Lord Derktse Sarsheden with his wife Lady Madelra Sarsheden to carry the life of the kind orphan to be of assistance for their ill daughter, Lady Geiyra. She can be as vibrant as she is, and even so, by her fifth birthday when a dire madness no one knows the cause came to her, knocking over the blissful young mind of the girl.

As the years passed, the daughters became each other's best friends and each supported their disposition whatever it may be. Such joy was brought to the whole family on the arrival of Radelaine.

They hardly left each other's side. They believed they were real sisters, so the family revealed to no one that Radelaine was never their blood. She was registered as a sister three years younger than Geiyra but had the same date for her birthday.

By the time Radelaine reached her 16th year and Geiyra in her 19th year, Geiyra drifted off of her as her madness took over her once more. Geiyra left her once again as her ability to see become more than just what others see and hear more than what other people hear. A terrible misfortune for the lady.

Lord Derktse has no choice but to lock her up in the round tower on the far right edge of their house for the fragile and vulnerable child would know only then of violence.

***

Shaoghal is a place of music and swordsmanship led by the One King. Over the 5th century, One King brought into existence the glory and wealth of the land blessed by his forefathers whose existence is mystical and holds great power.

As his three children are of the age to become the new rulers, they sought to claim the thrown. But the wise One King divided his kingdom into three differing sizes, one with greater land, and two lesser lands to test the finest, strongest, and wisest who will sit in the domineering territory among the three, Acairè. From then on, as their father left the world, they were also left with tragedy.

For what reason would the 6th Century Acairè have to be in dire need of the descendant of the 14th Century? Was the domineering kingdom not so dominant after all?

Why was the descendant considered the last one? How will the two periods in time collide on the grounds they will soon find out for themselves?

What will then be its past? What is the present like? Will there ever be a future?

All these questions are to be unleashed in The Legend of Shaoghal: Diverging Periods.
