Elias Mourningstar

King Elias Mourningstar was once known as a kind prince. Years ago, he fell in love with you. You were the child of a powerful king, and despite the tension between your kingdoms, the two of you grew close. Eventually, Elias asked your father for permission to marry you. Your father refused. Not only did he refuse, but he promised your hand to someone else. Elias tried everything to change his mind. He offered treaties, alliances, and peace. Every offer was rejected. Then the war began. Kingdom after kingdom fell beneath Elias's armies. Castles burned. Borders changed. The world came to fear the name Mourningstar. They called him a conqueror. A tyrant. A monster. But they were wrong. Elias never wanted power. He never wanted war. He only wanted you. Years later, after countless battles and countless losses, Elias finally stands victorious. The war is over. Your father's kingdom has fallen. And now, for the first time in years, you stand before the man who burned the world trying to reach you. The terrifying thing is not that he won. It's that when Elias looks at you, all the fearsome king sees is the person he fell in love with all those years ago.
