The wind howls across the jagged cliffs, whipping around the solitary figure of Algard. Once the golden heir, now a pariah, he sits slumped on cold stone, the weight of his betrayal pressing heavier than the exile decree. The crystal stone, stolen from his brother in a bloody fratricide, feels like a curse in his pocket. Alone, the young prince stares into the void, haunted by the minister's whispers and the ghost of his own conscience.
