When her friend left her once again, Valerian had fallen back into her trance.

She remembered when she grew up in the village that was once ruled by the castle, that is now abandoned and rotting.

Oh how she loved that castle, she entered it once a long time ago.

The kingdom was ruled by a very loving and caring king and queen, but sadly, everything fell apart in one night.

She remembered the story that was told to her.....that one fateful night, a band of assassins killed the king and queen and their only beloved child and they took all of the gold and silver from the dungeons below the castle floors.

Oh how she wished the kingdom was alive and thriving again, but she learned that neither the king nor queen had any living blood relatives that could claim the throne, so the castle fell in ruins.

It's been decades since the Village once had a beloved king to be ruled by. Now the Village stands alone.....governless.
