A Prince’s Promise

A Prince’s Promise

The sun in Veridia hung low on the horizon, casting a golden glow over the shimmering trees that seemed to hum with life. John, Rebecca, Michael, and David stood in the courtyard of the temple, still reeling from the Oracle’s revelations. The air felt heavy with uncertainty, their minds buzzing with the weight of the prophecy. None of them fully understood their role in this strange world, but they all felt the pressure mounting.

As they waited for the next steps to become clear, a figure emerged from the shadows of the trees—tall, with an air of confidence that seemed to ripple through the air around him. His dark hair was tied back, and his eyes gleamed with the kind of authority John recognized immediately. This man wasn’t just a soldier; he was a leader. And from the stories they’d heard, he could only be one person.

Prince Tarek.
