Prologue:
The Double Cross Uprising
In the world called Azurea, lies the continent
of Mithras. This continent was occupied by 3 kingdoms; The
Kingdom of Evalos, the Vallax republic, and the Desert kingdom
of Khamorra. the three kingdoms peacefully coexist, until
a man named Otros Gustrack Olbaid became the Military Advisor
of Evalos.
Otros made plans in expanding the Kingdom
of Evalos, but the King of Evalos, King Lionard Pledgebow
Callanos, dismissed it. Obsessed with his plan, Otros began
organizing the king's assasination.
On his way to a diplomatic meeting with
the Vallax Republic, King Callanos was assasinated and his
son Prince Jarod Albreed Callanos, was crowned the next
king. Believing the Vallax republic to be the culprit of
his father's death, Jarod approved Otros's plans.
And so the war between the Kingdom of Evalos
and the Vallax Republic began. Because of Otros's unmatched
military Strategies, and the might of Jarod's best friend,
Kronos Gotreid Cross, the Vallax Republic lost its provinces
one by one, and Evalos began to expand.
But the war has its price, and one of them,
the death of General Kronos Cross's wife, Captain Silene
Geyser Cross. Her death fueled Kronos's rage against the
Vallax Republic even more.
Fearing the loss of her family's kingdom,
Princess Elisabeth Mannacreed travelled to the Kingdom of
Evalos to plead for a peace treaty. She was captured, and
was sent for execution, but when King Jarod saw her, he
fell in love with her. The king set her free and agreed
to a peace treaty.
Many were outraged by the King's decision,
but they did not question him. Soon King Jarod and Princess
Elisabeth were married, and peace between the two kingdoms
began. Otros was very unhappy with the king's decision,
and began making plans again in overthrowing the King's
throne.
After a year, king and queen Callanos bore
a son, named Jowston MannaCreed Callanos. Because of the
child, peaceful relations between the Kingdom of Evalos
and the Vallax Republic began to strengthen. By this time
Otros Olbaid was already forming a secret army of mercenaries
and unloyal soldiers to overthrow the current king. Soon,
the king's best friend , Kronos Cross, joined Otros's plan.
At the 1st day of Eskobach, 1080, Otros
began dispatching his secret army disguised as Vallax Spear
Guardians, to attack key provinces in Evalos. Fearing that
his kingdom was under attack, and with the advice of the
traitor Otros Olbaid, the king started to deploy his armies
to protect his kingdom, and left his castle lightly guarded.
Soon assassins began infiltrating the king's castle.
One by one, key Evalos officials were killed
by the assassins, and soon Queen Elisabeth Callanos fell
in the hands of an assasin named Vahnstryke Lang. With her
last breath, she struggled to protect her baby, and pleaded
for her child's life. Bothered by his conscience, the assassin
took the baby and escaped the castle.
King Jarod struggled to protect his castle.
Soon, he came face to face with his best friend, Kronos
Cross. Kronos blamed Jarod and accused him of being a traitor
to his Kingdom. After a long furious battle, Jarod lost
and was killed.
With the king dead, Otros ordered his secret
army to retreat. After the attack, the people of Evalos
were outraged and demanded revenge. With no successor to
the king's throne, Otros Olbaid was to be crowned the next
king of Evalos, but he refused and gave the title to Kronos
Cross.
Blaming the Vallax Republic for killing
his wife and forcing him to kill his best friend, King Kronos
Cross focused his priorities on the war. Otros Olbaid was
satisfied with the outcome of his plans.
