Once, far away

Chatterbox: Inkwell

Once, far away

Once, far away from all you know, my dear mortal readers, there was the kingdom of Astrahul. And in that kingdom of Astrahul, on the 15th of the Snow Months, two children appeared, brother and sister of the Dragar Prophecies, though no one knew that then.

They were brother and sister of each other too. Revinal, the boy, and Saradis, the girl. They came from the semi-elite family of Heive. And now we are in the year that is 16 years after their birth, and the moment is approaching when they will have to fulfill the prophecy, because people are fearing that Astrahul will be rulerless, abandoned, poor, and plunged into turmoil.

The trouble is that Revinal and Saradis don't even know that they are the ones the prophecy mentions in Verse I, Segment III:

There will be nothing that will end up stopping two

And they will try to save the Kingdom, they will do

What no one else had dreamed of - can they succeed?

back to the Inkwell

Cool! This sounds like fun, but I'm not completely sure how it works. Do you wait for someone or...?

yay, glad someone's interested! basically, you can join at any point. the first person to join (in other words, you, if you want) writes the first part of the story, and "tags" someone else who writes the next part, etc. everyone has to have a turn at writing a part before someone who's been tagged is tagged again, so no one is left out.

Sounds interesting! Could you explain the story beginning a little more?

In general, the story is free to go wherever you want to take it. However, the general starting-off point is this:

>The kingdom of Astrahul is (ofc) a fantasy land, ruled over by several elite families; Heive is a lower, not-very-powerful noble family.

>Revinal and Saradis, whose parents are mainly in charge of Heive, are twins. Their characters are open to your development. They were born to fulifil the Dragar Prophecies, which say that when Astrahul is "seeking help when no help's near/they'll save it, make the future clear". However, Revinal and Saradis have grown up free from cares, pampered in the Palace Wind that's the central palace of Heive, and though they've heard of the famous Dragar Prophecy, they've never discovered that they're going to carry it through.

>When Revinal/Saradis are sixteen y.o., the Queen of Astrahul dies. She has no heirs, as no one had been expecting her to die and she hadn't named an heir yet, nor does she have children, which can automatically become rulers in Astrahul in cases of emergency; other, richer, more powerful countries want to take advantage of this to exploit Astrahul's riches, and tyrants are rising up within the country too.
