The Lost City of Queria
Once upon a time, in a realm untouched by the mundanity of normalcy existed a city named Queria. It was a beautiful, hidden city made up of rare crystals and precious gems. Sunlight reflected off the city created a majestic aura and the night view was mesmerizing because the moonlight just added more beauty to it. Tall towers, magnificent palaces, and broad streets were engraved with intricate designs of gold and silver.
The citizens of Queria were as beautiful as the city itself. They possessed magical abilities and lived harmoniously under the rule of their generous and noble king, King Arandell. But, what set them apart was the essence of love and respect each citizen held. For that, Queria was known as the 'City of Love'.
However, tragedy struck when King Arandell fell gravely ill. With the king on his deathbed, Queria's future fell into uncertainty. There was no immediate successor, and civil unrest began to grow. In his final moments, King Arandell made an announcement. He declared that the crown will go to the one who would find the 'Heart of Queria', a mystical jewel believed to harbor the spirit of the city.
The contest initiated, a ruthless competition, as everyone wanted to secure the throne. Among the contenders, there was a humble blacksmith named Eldon. Unlike others, he wasn't interested in the throne for power but desired to keep the essence of Queria alive.
Eldon was a man who truly understood what Queria meant. He believed the 'Heart of Queria' wasn't a physical jewel, rather an abstract embodiment of love, unity, and peace. He devoted himself to perform tasks that no contender thought worthy: resolving disputes, helping the infirm, demonstrating true affection, and slowly restoring the unity that Queria was losing.
Word of Eldon's deeds began to spread. His actions started attracting positive changes around the city. People were now less focused on the acquisition of power, and more interested in restoring the city's harmony.
One day, as Eldon was helping an old woman cross the road, a brilliant light emitted from his chest. To Eldon's astonishment, a magnificent jewel started to form. It was not any jewel—it was the 'Heart of Queria'. The citizens around him stared in awe and admiration. The 'Heart of Queria' didn't exist in a hidden chamber or a mystical labyrinth—it existed in the heart of a blacksmith.
The jewel embodied all the qualities Eldon demonstrated—love, unity, and peace parallel to what Queria represented. Shocked and overjoyed, Eldon was tearful. The jewel vanished as soon as it appeared, reinforcing that it wasn't any physical object.
When the news reached the rest of Queria, the city was overwhelmed. With no doubt, the citizens unanimously hailed Eldon as their new king. Eldon, now King Eldon, vowed to rule with the same honor and nobility as King Arandell did.
The tale of King Eldon, his understanding of Queria, and how he found the true 'Heart of Queria', became a legend. The lost city of Queria was thus regained with greater glory than before, teaching each one of us the epitome of true power – Unity, Love, and Peace.
