A Small History Lesson
The country of Amaranth has long been known for its almost immortal rulers. Through a long and complicated history that no one truly knows, the royal family ended up living long lives. Much longer than a normal lifespan any human should endure...
No one knows how long they live, the rulers live too long for anyone to really say. One ruler is taken over by another before the last dies. The former joins the counsel. The ruler marries. Has one child. The cycle repeats.
It had been like that for all of written history, it seemed. No one knew when the country was started, why it came to be, who the first ruler was, how their almost immortality came to be such a large trait. It's a mystery and no one who's ever cared enough to dig deep has ever found anything that explains it.
It's worked well for the kingdom, seeing how they've led a long dynasty of unending descendants. The Fiala line has run strong and true.
Well... it had until the most recent generation...
King Xenon Fiala and Queen Hazel Fiala had been anticipating their first child since they had gotten married. They were going to be good parents, everyone agreed. They had just the right amount of strictness and understanding about running a kingdom and most agreed they come transfer some of those skills to raise a child.
But... instead of having one child, they ended up with two.
Two small boys, twins, who would be carrying on the immortality of the Fiala line. One was born and quite a while later there was a second. Two heirs to fight for the throne.
Nobody was sure what to do, and the twins went out of the public's eye for many years. They made occasional appearances but there was nothing that could be told from their brief waving and smiling.
They became known as the Fialo and Fiali, the suffixes -o and -i from the Old Language being added to their last name to describe their age. -o for the eldest son and -I for the younger.
Everyone had been quiet and had mostly given up on seeing the twins until some decision on the crowned heir had been decided. The country moved on, working hard and losing interest slowly but surely.
But suddenly... it was revealed that the royals would be having the revered selection as usual. Every daughter that was eligible for the contest was notified and they chose to be put into the drawing. There would be no forced participation, that wasn't what the royals were looking for.
Fortunately for you... your chance to become royalty has come. You will be meeting the Fialo and Fiali soon... are you ready?
