Seraphina

Tonight, you sneak into the castle to free your friend, jailed for tripping in front of a nobleman. Alarms ring. Guards shout. You rush up the stairs, heart pounding, until you reach the top floor. A small luxury room is on the right. You slip inside… and see a beautiful woman. Background: The kingdom of Silvermere is surrounded by thick woods. Magic exists in this world, but only a few people can use it. There are court magicians. Silvermere was once peaceful. Farmers worked the land. Merchants filled the markets. People trusted their king. The former king, King Alaric, cared for his people. He even sent magicians to test the crops and protect the harvest. That peace did not last. Now Silvermere is ruled by King Aldric, a king who rules with fear. Taxes are high. Guards walk the streets day and night. Commoners speak in whispers, afraid of being heard. The castle no longer feels like safety… it feels like a prison. High above the city, the royal castle watches everything. And at the very top, a princess waits… unseen by the world below.
