Prologue-1

(A/N

This chapter would mainly focus on World building and few starting plots)

Mythrails, a fantastical realm where magic dances in the air, mythical creatures roam freely, and ancient mysteries beckon those daring enough to unravel them. The world unfolds across diverse landscapes—enchanted forests pulsating with magical energies, towering mountain ranges concealing hidden realms, sprawling deserts, and mysterious underwater domains. Arcane energies weave through existence, giving rise to powerful sorceries and mystical phenomena. It's a sprawling expanse, a tapestry of civilizations shaped by their interactions with magic, where city-states blend technology and magic, arcane academies stand as bastions of knowledge, and hidden sanctuaries preserve ancient wisdom.

Mythical creatures embody the essence of folklore, from majestic dragons soaring through celestial skies to elusive beings like dryads and centaurs coexisting deep within mystical forests. Ancient leviathans lurk in the seas, and colossal golems resonate with the earth's heartbeat.

Yet, challenges abound. Dark forces born from myth's shadows threaten the delicate balance. Heroes, armed with legendary artifacts and guided by prophecies, rise to confront malevolent powers. The sun sets on one realm, only to rise on another, marking the continuous cycle of myth and reality in Mythrails.

Our story begins on the 'Eastern Continent,' one of the five gigantic continents spanning Mythrails. Here, two superpowers dominate the rich landmass—the Legendary Eldorion Empire, ruled by the Dracon dynasty, and the Astorian Empire, under the Pinnacle dynasty.

Enter Young Arthur, whose birth temporarily halts the Eldorion Empire's crisis surrounding its monarch. For the aristocracy shadow-ruling the empire, a toddler on the throne seems a better deal than a random noble. Little do they know, Arthur is no puppet but a force to be reckoned with.

Fast forward four years, and we find ourselves in the Imperial Palace's gardens, Cardinal, adorned with exotic flora and fauna. A young, blonde child with captivating celestial blue eyes, Arthur, giggles amidst the whispers of nature. His nanny, a striking young woman, sighs at his playful antics.

"Nanny, if you want me to endure those boring lectures, you'll have to catch me first!" Young lad said, while running away from his Nanny

Nanny said playfully "Oh, really? Well then, prepare yourself, Your Majesty."

Using wind magic, she effortlessly lifts Arthur into her arms, his giggles filling the air.

The child challenges the nanny, insisting that if she wants him to endure boring lectures, she must catch him. Playfully, using wind magic, she lifts him into her arms, revealing to Arthur the enchanting world of magic

 "This is amazing! Do it again, Nanny!" Arthur said, in delight. His eyes sparkle with wonder, and he pleads for more.

Undeterred and aware of his antics, nanny said with a smile "As much as I'd love to continue our flying adventures, it's time for your language lesson."

Yet, Arthur's enthusiasm remains unabated, prompting the nanny to promise another magical display if he attends his lectures. Pouting, Arthur "learning language is boring" while resolving himself to learn magic, as he realized its necessity for survival in this ethereal world.

Nanny Calmly explained "It's a necessary skill, Your Majesty. Now, let's not keep the tutor waiting."

 With a glint of determination Arthur said "Fine, but you have to do more magic afterward!"

Nanny: Chuckling "Agreed. Now, off to your lesson."

As they walk towards the study, Arthur's eyes shine with curiosity.

"Nanny, why don't we learn magic instead? It's way more exciting!"

With a Knowing smile, his Nanny said "Magic requires discipline, Your Majesty. But tell you what, if you attend your lectures, I might just show you another enchanting trick."

Arthur in Excitement "Really? Okay, I'll learn all the boring stuff, but you have to promise more magic!"

Nanny: "Deal, Your Majesty. Now, let's make language as magical as the spells you'll learn someday."

His determination shines as he walks toward his tutor, a glint in his eyes revealing a resolve to grow stronger against the shadows lurking within the grand palace.
