Destined for the unknown

From Riches to Realms

------



Strange events had begun to unfold:missing children, vanishing women, and widowed husbands—all while bodies disappeared without a trace. But worst of all— whispers around of the dead walking among the living. They said dead men tell no tales—until you force them silent.

.......

Marie Antoine Lisette, or Liz as she preferred, never thought her life would spiral from riches to rags. She thought her future was set: a husband on the way, with gold, silver, pearls, lands, mansions, manors, and accounts she could scarcely keep track of. She had it all.



But one fateful day, everything changed. Her head spun, her legs buckled, and then—darkness enveloped her.



When she finally awakened, a circle of concerned faces surrounded her (her body) —friends and family, all eager for her recovery. Yet something felt amiss. When the prince arrived, Liz gushed, blushed, and her lips pursed as she shyly batted it at the prince.

(Liz: Ew...)

(???: So, you do like the prince)

(Liz: What prince? Who?)



As Liz opened her eyes again, a spiders crept through the damp wall. Her luxurious clothes had vanished, replaced by rags, and her hair lay matted and dirty.

"A prison cell," she thought. Her voice quivered on the brink of tears, "My luxurious life."

(???: About the prince...)

"What could he possibly have to complain about?” she snarked.
