Chapter 10: A Prince Battle For His Name

Prince Kyrian's eyes widened in shock as the stranger's words hit him like a thunderbolt. "What do you mean?" he asked, his voice trembling with rage and confusion. "Who is this sorcerer? And what evil has he done in my name?"

The stranger, Arin, nodded solemnly. "The sorcerer's name is Malakai. He's a powerful and ruthless man who seeks to destroy everything good in the kingdom. And he's been impersonating you, Prince Kyrian, using your name and your reputation to further his own dark agenda."

Prince Kyrian's mind raced as he tried to process this revelation. He remembered the day he was abducted, the pain and the darkness. And now, he realized that his absence had been used as an opportunity for evil to flourish.

"What has he done?" Prince Kyrian demanded, his sword hand itching for action. "Tell me everything."

Arin hesitated, as if choosing his words carefully. "Malakai has been using your name to command the army, to wage war on neighboring kingdoms, and to oppress the people. He's also been using dark magic to destroy the land, to poison the rivers, and to kill the innocent. And he's been doing it all in your name, Prince Kyrian."

Prince Kyrian's face contorted in anger and shame. He couldn't believe that his identity had been used for such evil purposes. He felt a deep sense of responsibility, knowing that he had to act quickly to stop Malakai and restore his good name.

"I must stop him," Prince Kyrian declared, his voice firm and resolute. "I must reclaim my identity and my rightful place as prince. Will you help me, Arin?"

Arin nodded, a small smile playing on his lips. "I'll help you, Prince Kyrian. Together, we'll defeat Malakai and bring peace back to the kingdom.
