THE PRINCE OF JULIVAED: Prologue
Once upon a time, there existed a magical kingdom far, far, away, known as Julivaed. It was a beautiful kingdom, with rivers of rainbow flowing through the cleanly cut, grassy plains. A kingdom where the sun shone high in the ever-sunny sky, brightening the shiny flowers and glorious vegetation. All was well in Julivaed, and its citizens were at utmost peace, living joyfully without a care in the world.
Julivaed, aside from appearance, was also a city whose citizens were well-behaved, intelligent, friendly, and just overall great people. Business thrived, and poverty might as well not have existed. And this wonderful environment was governed by an equally wonderful king. King Taylor's family line had been ruling over Julivaed for over 400 years, and had been doing very well in doing so. It was a large family, and many of the citizens were descendants of Taylor himself. Next in line to rule would be the prince, Drake. Not unlike his father, Drake was also a kindhearted person. However, he was also an adventurous, rowdy person as well. Often, he would run off into the night to look for something to do. This, as you may have guessed, caused a few problems...
"Come on, Lloyd! You're so slow!"
"Huff... I'm coming, Drake. Hold...on..."
Two kids ran up to an old, not-so-colorful cavern in the night. The lights of Julivaed could be seen off on the horizon, and stars filled the surrounding skies.
"Whoa, check out that cave!" said Drake to his friend and mischief-making companion, Lloyd.
"I don't know, Drake. It looks scary."
"Ah, you're such a wuss. I'm going. You can stay out here if ya want."
"O-o-okay, I will..."
With that, Drake headed into the cave.
He lit his lantern part of the way in, since it was very dark. He looked around. Unlike some of the other places he went to, he had never been to this cave before. It felt strange. After a few minutes of walking down a damp, narrow, twisty corridor, he arrived in a large, domelike chamber. In the middle of this chamber stood a tall, crystalline structure.
"What the hell is that?"
Drake walked over to the object and shone his lantern on it. It was marvelous, with its deep blue hue, and it's translucent columns, spiraling around the main structure in complicated curves. Drake gazed at it for a while.
"Hm..."
He reached out and touched it. Nothing happened. He touched it again. Nothing happened. He kicked it. Nothing happened.
"Stupid POS..."
Enraged that his "discovery" was nothing, he pulled out a match and tried to light it on fire. As soon as the flame touched the object, sparks appeared.
"Huh? What..."
Before Drake could say anything else, the structure flashed and exploded in an array of brilliant colors...
[By the way, I know it seemingly has nothing to do with POS, but it will soon.
