Chapter 21: A Forgotten Promise

Prince Aran's anger and frustration simmered as he paced in his chambers. Suddenly, a memory flashed in his mind - a sorcerer he had met on a hunting trip several years ago. The sorcerer, named Zorvath, had approached him with an enigmatic message:

"Prince Aran, a time will come when you will need my help. Seek me out in the ruins of the ancient castle, and I will aid you in your darkest hour."

At the time, Prince Aran had dismissed the encounter as mere fantasy, but now, he wondered if Zorvath's words held a deeper meaning. Could this sorcerer hold the key to stopping his father's destructive war?

Without hesitation, Prince Aran decided to seek out Zorvath. He called for his trusted companion, Sir Valoric, and together they set out towards the ruins of the ancient castle, hoping to find the sorcerer and unlock a new path forward.

As they rode, Prince Aran couldn't shake off the feeling that his fate, and the fate of Niya Kingdom.

Little did he know, Zorvath was waiting for him, ready to reveal a hidden truth that would change everything.
