Prologue
Awhile ago, in a place a few universes away, there were four kingdoms. The Blue Kingdom of Spades♠, the red Kingdom of Hearts♥, the Yellow Kingdom of Diamonds♦, and the Green Kingdom of Clubs♣. But there was another Kingdom often forgotten. The White Kingdom of Stars⭐. The kingdoms all lived in peace until people started dying. It had started with a few 'cursed' people. They had acquired red bumps on their skin before dying after. But soon, the number of deaths became alarmingly high. The King of Hearts, having lost his Queen to the 'curse', blamed the Kingdom of Spades, known for their large number of magic wielders. They soon waged war and forced the other three kingdoms to pick sides. The Clubs went to the Hearts, the Diamonds to the Spades. The King of Stars, though he was a very powerful and wealthy king like the rest, preferred just sitting in his throne and letting the other kingdoms tear each other apart. All four of the other kings started to grow angry. Why hadn't he joined them? Why did he just sit in his throne, a frown on his face? The four kingdoms allied together and attacked the Kingdom of Stars. Bloodshed became a common sight for years, and the war was named the White War of a Century.

King Damien (my name for ancient Scandinavia) stood in the throne room, his white clothes spattered with crimson blood. He looked down at the corpse of the Knight of Hearts. "I'm sorry..." The great oak doors slammed open, a resounding crack echoing through the room. The Kings of Spades, Clubs, Hearts, and Diamonds walked in. "Hello!" Romulus, King of Diamonds, greeted, twirling his sword and dripping blood on the floor. Damien pulled the queen behind him. "Why are you doing this?" He asked, tears running down his cheeks. The King of Spades, Zeus,(male ancient Greece) frowned. "Because you didn't fight with us! We were all suffering from deaths, while you just sat there, perfectly unharmed." He smiled, brandishing his sword. Damien growled. "Haven't you had enough!" The wind started to pick up. "My Kingdom has suffered long enough!" His cloak started rising up, floating around his knees. "Get out." The four other kingdoms flew into the door, a few bones audibly breaking. "Get out!" The four opened the door and ran, yelling for their soldiers to retreat. When the last soldier had gotten onto green grass, as the Club Kingdom was the closest, they looked back to see black stars flying around the castle, spreading to the white fields, slowly forming a checkerboard pattern of black and white. The Stars enveloped the entire Kingdom, swirling around it like a tornado before it slowly faded, the entire Kingdom disappearing.
