Aradon, my friend the hero (simp), is the protagonist of the third game of the series simply titled Origin.

It is the Origin of all the other games in the series, and by the fourth game, the world will end. We still have 70 years until that happens. However, I literally can't put my trust in any other heroes from the series except for Aradon.

This is due to the event of the fourth game.

Aradon and all the characters from Origin were sent to the Badland so that the event of the first and second game could happen. The troops stationed at the Badland are supposed to be the best the Elven race could muster while their other borders are shared with the human kingdom to the west. Historically, human and Elves have a very good relationship and so the borders are just there. The good ones went to the Badland.

However, during the event of the fourth game, the human kingdom crumbled from within. The main villain protagonist of the fourth game, the Infernal Wizard Rudolf makes a mad dash for the capital of the Hafthor and burned down the entire capital city of the Elven crown under 30 days, capturing Aelene in the process.

The fourth game, being a villain centric game, has Rudolf the wizard taking down every named character of the Lumaria franchise one by one with his army. At the end of the fourth game, the only hero unit left in the world are the main characters of the Second game, Kai and Magnus who are in a desperate struggle to survive in enemy territories.

Which leads to Aradon being the only one who can shift the tide of war, marching the entire army under his command back in a series of campaign to reclaim the throne of the Elves and the human in the fifth game. However the fifth game hasn't been released yet.

Of all the named heroes in the series, I can only put my trust in Aradon who has yet to fall before Rudolf magic in game.

The face of the Elven race can't fall that easily just yet.

Yes, he is the face of the Elven race

"Andarel, today is the day of princess Aelene's public outing. You know what to do don't you?"

"You are about to ask me if I can take over your duty for you aren't you?"

"Can you?"

"Can I?"

"I don't know, can you?"

"Sorry, but no can do buddy. Today is my off day, I already booked something in advance. There is a lady waiting for me at home with no clothes on. I wouldn't miss it even if you kill me."

"Argh! How are you doing that?"

Aradon is an innocent elven boy. However, Hafthor has a very good relationship with the human kingdom in the west and so travel between the two countries can be made freely. Human, of course, has a thing for elves.

"You are still so innocent aren't you?"

"Fuck you buddy."

"Oh somebody else will. Later. But ahem-" Enough joking around for now. It's time I bequeath my wisdom to this pitiful boy. In fact, there is a very simple solution to all of this that I can see.

If you find this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the infringement.

Aelene is too much of an adventurer to stay at one place for long. However, there is only one thing tying her down and that is the duty to the crown.

"I don't think you should dream about princess Aelene anymore buddy. She is way out of our league. Did you know, the royal family never allows intermarriage between royal blood and us wood elves. It is hopeless. The only one she will marry is another high elf, presumably with a long lineage that can be traced back in history.

Give up on that dream buddy. One day, she will marry someone else, presumably from an arranged marriage to either the prince of the Dark Elves, V'sonn or one of the royalty from our cousin in the north. And there is nothing you can do to stop it, unless of course, your lineages are better than their. But there is no way that is happening."

Of course, there is a way. Aradon, of course, has both the prestige and power to do so. As the second son of the High Elven Archmage, Elanna Caemfaere, he is considered royalty among the High Elf, as the son of the Arch Druid, Voralanar Gaethlock, he has influences in all four of the Elves variant in the world. Both Elanna and Voralanar's lineage runs deep and tie deeply with the history of the elves. If Aradon doesn't have the prestige and lineage to marry the princess, who else in the world can?

That is not even mentioning his brother Tesserast Gaethlock who is the most powerful Elven Archmage of this generation. He has sways with the academies where the elven elites are taught. If he backs his brother up, even if the throne wants to, they won't be able to do anything about it.

As I see it, there is a very simple way for Aradon to achieve his dream. If he truly wants to, he can ask his parents to arrange a marriage with the royal family. However, Aradon seemingly doesn't see it like that.

For a moment's Aradon's face falters.

I am just prodding him of course. Currently, Aradon is in disguise at the ranger corp, if he wanted to go the other path, he would have gone down that path a long time ago. There is no way I want my brother from another mother to lose his girl. I am just trying to give him a push.

In fact, the prince of Dark Elves, V'sonn won't be a suitable marriage candidate for long.

Yes, 5 years from now, the Dark Elves will betray us. Without Aradon there to protect Aelene, it would be pretty bad.

And the Ice Elves from the north? Well, they are a bit worrying. However, in 30 years from now, during the events of the fourth game, the nature of the Ice Elves will be revealed.

They have all gone batshit crazy a long time ago. They have a lot more things to worry about than a political marriage at this moment.

"Just think about it buddy."
