With these powers, he is thrust into a game of politics. Camyre finds himself being hunted by two formidable forces. In a land where power corrupts and trust is fragile, Camyre must decide whether to seize the throne and risk the very thing he despises or to destroy the cursed legacy and reshape the kingdom's fate.

Whoever these cysts were, I could tell they were powerful but I had never heard of them in the kingdom.Glancing back continuously, my heart pounded heavily against my chest, and sweat gathered on my forehead.

Chapter: CHAPTER 008: The cysts.
Camyre’s POVThe bar had been a constant over the past few days and I had become accustomed to the hustle and bustling. The past few days had seen the place swell with more than the usual rabble—farmers, wandering tradesmen, and drifters all whispered strange rumors over their tankards of mead."They say he is the lost heir," muttered an old man in a corner, his voice low but not low enough for Camyre to miss. "They say he holds power over the very earth itself, and with a flick of his wrist, he could raise it to the sky."Another scoffed, shaking his head in disbelief "Aye, and maybe the moon is but a silver coin, ready to be plucked from the heavens."These rumors had become more rampant over the past few days and I was shocked at the rate at which they had spread, I was neither a lost heir nor could I lift the earth with the flick of my wrist, I could barely even hold these damn trays steady with how much I had been worked for the past few weeks, luckily I had already gotten a litt

Around the heavy oak table, they gathered.Whereupon the morning’s feast was already laid by the hands of the maids, each one moving with haste under the stern eye of Lotana, the chief among them. After the final dish was placed, Lotana, with a sharp word and a nod, dismissed the maids, leaving herself to stand in waiting, as was her duty at every meal.Thus, the royal family dined, with all the grace and bearing befitting their station, while Lotana lingered, ever watchful for the slightest command.The royal family had but scarcely begun to partake of their morning repast when the great doors of the hall were flung open with such force that the clatter of a spoon striking a plate echoed through the chamber. King Alister, his b

Chapter: CHAPTER 006; Rumors follow
Camyre’s POVthe streets, thick with common folk, pressed ever tighter, and I found myself pushing through the crowd, each step swifter than the last. A strange unease gnawed at me, for the thought of some ill news reaching this city troubled my heart, though I knew not why. It seemed madness to me, for how could I, a mere man raised by foster kin, have aught to do with the royal line? My days had ever been spent in their humble care, as far back as memory did stretch. Yet, still, a shadow clung to my thoughts, one I could not shake.I kept glancing back now and then to make sure I wasn't being followed until I came to a stop, my breath increasing and I doubled over, the surrounding new crowd stared at me as though I was insane.My newly acquired rob was stained with mud and there was nothing I could do about it, thanks to the servant, my way home was defined but the real issue was getting back there.

Chapter: CHAPTER 005: Direction home.
Camyre’s POVHis word resonated in my head, ridiculous as it might sound, what other way would you explain him flying six feet away from me and colliding harshly against the wall?I was confused and dumbfounded just as they were as Ron continued, “How are you able to harness the power of the earth, only a royal can do such,” he questioned in disbelief.The royals were the only individuals who could harness the power of the earth as they had been blessed by god, this was given to them to protect the kingdom, "How in the devil's name was I able to do such a thing?"My breathing increased as I was not able to explain myself, I was beginning to feel dizzy as the world spun around me. The pearl came into sight, lying on the floor and being smudged by mud. Without hesitation, I reached for it with speed and held it close to my chest before stashing it in my pocket.Glancing around the field, they all gazed at me as though I had sprouted a second head, wipers passed between them and some of
