Arriving At The Draconia Kingdom

[In the not-so-distant future]

Tamsin was the queen of the small but strong independent Aradonia Kingdom in the Northeast of Avidia. The realm was being invaded by the mighty Sunspear Empire, which resided west of them and wanted their lands due to the valuable resources that could be found there.

She impatiently waited in the palace for news of the battle, surrounded by her terrified family. Her husband and eldest son had gone off to fight days ago when the scouts spotted the Sunspear army. Days later, the surviving royal guards returned, battered and bruised.

The group reported that the king and prince had fallen in the battle to hold off the enemy. The devastating news was followed by a plea for them to flee the kingdom. Tamsin was in shock and wanted to break down at the loss of her husband and son.
