Chapter 20: Revelation and Embrace

"Aric the great," Nefarion whispered the words inscribed beneath the grand painting of his supposed father, King Aric.

Doubt clouded his mind, for he had been told that Aric was his father, but the reflection staring back at him revealed no resemblance.

The painting depicted King Aric seated regally upon his throne, adorned in resplendent regal attire befitting a monarch of his stature. In his hand, he held the legendary Sword of Light—a majestic weapon known to be wielded only by the king or those pure of heart.

Whispers of its magical properties and the immense power it bestowed upon its rightful wielder echoed throughout the kingdom. For generations, this legendary sword had been passed down within the royal family to those deemed worthy.
