“If the crown demands I become a monster, then let them fear what they created,” In an enchanted kingdom of Arcanis, where magic is both a blessing and a curse to the highest ordinate, Camyre, a commoner encounters an ancient artefact that reveals his true identity and activates his hidden powers. 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.

CHAPTER 001: The mines.
Camyre’s povIt was a normal day in the land of arcanis, a blissful and wonderful day as I liked to be optimistic about certain things. I was happy because why shouldn't I be?I had my family by my side which was all that mattered, although they weren't my family they had adopted me when I was just a child, picking me up from the orphanage and I had lived with them ever since.It was just me, Maxon and Sheryl, their children, Kolenor, who was the oldest, and their little twins, Avalon and Eleanor. They had treated me as though I was their child.Their love and care have been my constant in a world that seemed to spin on quietly, far from the grand dramas of Arcanis’s capital.My days are spent in the forge, shaping metal into useful tools and sturdy weapons. I must say that the work is demanding, but yet even with such stress applied, I find satisfaction in creating something useful from raw materials. This has been in my family through generations—The blacksmith’s craft. It runs in

SHATTERED CROWN THE HEIR’S TEMPEST
Chapter 12Camyre’s povA whirlwind began to soar higher and buffer, taking everything in its path. The wind picked up, blowing at my locks and garments violently, just like everyone else. The villagers' screams could be heard as they tried to avoid the whirlwind, running away from it, but their goods couldn't be spared.Some of them glanced at me with awe in their eyes as they ran away, “An heir,” the whispers began and I didn't have the time to be confused.“Get up boy! We need to get out of here,” the look in his eyes screamed of fear and caution but he still dragged me up from underneath my arm and pushed me towards the horses.All the while I stared at what I might have potentially created as it caused havoc, “what about the villages, the whirlwind would not stop until it destroys everything in its path,” I frantically stated to Rodryce as he pushed me onto the horse.Glaring at me furiously, “Yes well, whose fault is that? You need to get out of here, while I try to stop it,” he

Chapter 11Camyre's pov:There was a certain glint in his eyes but it only flashed for a few seconds before it was gone, I doubted it was even there in the first place.“I've told you, just a ways from Fheneri, past Drenmark,” he mentioned once again.Well he wouldn't really know what's past my home town considering I had never had the opportunity to leave and explore and after my short time away from it I can say I do not want to.Rodryce mentioned that we needed to keep moving so we could be out of the forest, “There's a town just up ahead if I'm not mistaken, maybe we can stock up on supplies, don't you think?” He packed his belongings from the floor and we were ready to go, “I…..barely have much change on me,” all I had was a little I had gotten from the tavern and then a stupid marble which I just couldn't lose.“Hmm, we'll just have to work with what the both of us have, the journey to fheneri is a long way and to Drenmark even longer, let's go,” After walking for a few hours

Chapter 10Camyre’s POV:The cyst had all disappeared and the forest returned to the eerie silence, a semblance of safety and security but the hiver that remained ran down my spine, what had just transpired before me was more than I could have ever imagined nor I had ever seen before. I stared at the man who had appeared from nowhere in horror and gratitude, whatever trick he had performed had saved me from the claw and shadowy hand of the cyst, but at the same time, I was cautious, he was a stranger with mysterious power that resembled a witch.The last time a witch was heard of was in the age of the blind kings, centuries ago, and they had been the ones to guide him and also have the power to reign over the earth. “Who are you? And what do you want?” I questioned, taking careful steps backward, very mindful and cautious of my movements.The man in question returned an object he held to the pouch that hung across his shoulder. The little light provided by the crescent moon made his

Camrye’s POVShe refused to answer more questions as she pushed me out of the house after I had confirmed that she was a blind person, and was capable of running such a long journey, what a strange woman I had met, i didn't think much about it as my mind raced, the potential threat on my life for a reason I didn't even know about was eminent. 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. I was already getting tired and for some reason, I knew they were behind me. I needed to put more distance between us.The sounds of horses drifted into my ear and I paused in my tracks glancing around to find the source of the sound, when I finally located the shed down the street, I ran over and pushed the door open, the horses neighed as they had been startled and I tried to calm them down but they aren't responding, going over to the ho

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

Third person’s POVIn the grand hall of the royal keep, richly adorned with tapestries and the scent of fresh bread and meats, the reigning monarch sat in all his majesty. Beside him, the queen, regal and fair, with their three noble children seated in order. 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

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. It was a thousand miles of a journey and my legs were already hurting from all the

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

Camyre’s POVThe month of the winter solstice, recalling the period in which I had left home, summer had just arrived, how in the world were we in winter, “That can't be possible,” I countered in disbelief, a frown on my face as I shook my head, they all stared at me as though I was insane and didn't know what I was saying.It really couldn't have been up to six months, that would be ridiculous, I had been under that pile for six months and managed to remain alive.The bartender didn't have enough patience as other customers entered the tavern and were hailing her to order.“Wait, wait,” I rushed to say, stopping her in her tracks, a look of disgust present on her face on her face, “I still need that space to stay, anywhere would be alright ma'am, just to get out of the rain for a little while,”Her eyes scanned me up and down, contemplating whether or not she would let me stay, she arched an eyebrow and I rejoiced in my heart, You can ‘n't have the stables, can’t give you one of the
