First Kiss

Elijah watched as the formalities of crowning the new king ensued. It was a simple ceremony with its intricate rituals and elaborate regalia yet the weight of history and responsibility was palpable in the air.

Casimir, a royal healer from Helion, stood beside Elijah and provided context to the situation. "Her Majesty, the Queen Mother, had to send Amon away while he was still a baby to protect him from Devon's purge," Casimir explained. "Amon possesses demonic powers, and Devon sought to eliminate anyone who could challenge his claim to the throne. Many parents had no choice but to send their children with demon blood away, as it was their best chance for survival."

Elijah nodded, absorbing the information. "So he's been away for too long? How did he find his way back?" he asked curiously.
