Living a quiet life in a remote village, Roland does not expect the arrival of the powerful warrior, Magnus, who speaks of fates and prophecies. Surely Roland can't be the lost royal prince who is destined to slay the evil sorcerer, Veronious, with a legendary sword. Roland doesn';t even know how to wield a sword.<br /><br />When Roland's identity is confirmed and danger nears, he flees with Magnus, who trains him for battle by day and teaches him passion by night.<br /><br />Just as Roland finds the legendary sword, Veronious learns Roland is the lost prince and casts a curse on him. The beautiful prince falls into a deep sleep, not to stir for a hundred years ... unless he is awakened by true love's kiss.

Waking the Prince

Shaking his head in frustration, Roland ran through another room and up some steps to another floor. They’d already been up here before. He was about to go down the hall when something caught his gaze. Movement. He turned to look but saw nothing. He continued to stare at the spot that had seemed to move, waiting.


A set of stairs appeared, then flashed away.


“What is this?” Roland asked aloud. He stepped closer, touching his hand to the stone as it shifted. The stairs appeared once more, only this time they did not disappear. “Magnus!”


::You do not need to wait for Magnus. Go up and look for yourself.::


Roland blinked and shook his head. He started up the stairs.


::That’s it. You are the one who will use the sword anyway. You do not need him to obtain it.::
