The Divine Tree of Therinea
Long time ago, in the beautiful kingdom of Therinea there lived a kind and noble King named Arwen. His wife, the beloved Queen Elaria, was known for her mystical powers and she was universally adored by their subjects for her kind heart and generous nature. But they were not blessed with any offspring which weighed heavily on their hearts.
The Queen's cousin, Aeldric, who had always envied their throne, saw an opportunity in their despair. He crafted a vile scheme to capture the throne for himself. Aeldric proposed to the royal couple, that he would help them procure an heir in return for their unconditional support. Desperate to bring a successor, the couple agreed, unaware of his true intentions.
Aeldric, acting on his nefarious plan, performed a dark ritual, while promising them it was a spell to grant them a child. Using the powers of the ritual, he unleashed a torrid of storms across the kingdom and declared it was the wrath of the gods which could only be pacified by their abdication. The King and Queen, bound by their promise, were powerless against him.
Aeldric ascended the throne, and the kingdom plummeted into despair. Everything that was once beautiful and prosperous about Therinea was now filled with pain and suffering. Meanwhile, Queen Elaria, desperate to break the curse, sequestered herself away and started researching on ancient magical texts.
Mother Nature, feeling the agony of Therinea, responded to the Queen's pleas. She planted a magical seed in the heart of the kingdom that bloomed into a large mystical tree, which was unseen by the vile King Aeldric. Queen Elaria discovered the birth of the tree during one of her late-night walks and instantly knew it was a sign.
Covered in beautiful blooms and with fruit unlike any other, the tree bore a single, divine fruit. As she ate it, there was a sudden glow and she found herself carrying an unborn child. She kept it a secret, nurturing the tree and gaining its strength.
Months later, she gave birth to a beautiful princess whom they named Ylena. As Ylena grew up, she started showing signs of possessing unparalleled powers, touched by the divinity of the tree that nurtured her. Meanwhile, the King and Queen had been gathering the remnants of their lost support, aiming for an eventual rising to take back the kingdom.
Ylena, with her purity, intelligence, and the magical powers transferred from the divine tree, gained popularity among the subjects. They saw the hope in Ylena that they had lost under Aeldric's reign. On the day Ylena turned eighteen, witnessing the injustice and tyranny of Aeldric, she decided to stand against him.
With her parents and an army of loyal subjects beside her, Ylena went to Aeldric's castle, and a great battle ensued. Despite Aeldric's dark powers, they were no match for Ylena's divine strength. She struck down her tyrannical cousin, shattering his power, and freeing the kingdom from his rule.
With the defeat of Aeldric, the kingdom erupted in joy, cheering for their savior, Princess Ylena. The King and the Queen retook the throne but annointed Ylena as the rightful heir, ensuring a future guided by her light.
The victory marked the beginning of a new era filled with hope and prosperity, the princess's bravery becoming the beacon of light in the hearts of her people. The divine tree stood tall, watching over the kingdom, its fruits serving as a reminder of Princess Ylena's divine origin and the hopeful future of Therinea.
