A Prince from the Other Side
Chapter 1: The Golden Prince
"At the High Citadel Gates, glowing with dawn light."
Jayden Aurelthane
(Mc)
(looking up) Three years gone. Solara hasn’t changed a bit.
Jessie Khan
(Mc childhood friend)
(from behind) Except you came back hotter. And maybe a little taller?
Jayden Aurelthane
(Mc)
Jessie. Still using your charm as a weapon, I see. 😏
Jessie Khan
(Mc childhood friend)
It’s more effective than your brooding.
Zelquinn Eryndale
(Mc childhood friend)
(approaching silently) He still broods. Just... brighter.
Jayden Aurelthane
(Mc)
Zelquinn. Still dramatic, huh?
Zelquinn Eryndale
(Mc childhood friend)
You’re late. Your Father’s been waiting. The council is gathered.
Jayden Aurelthane
(Mc)
I just arrived and already— *sigh* Solara welcomes his prince with politics.
"Cut to: Golden Palace, Council Room"
Daryven Aurelthane
(Mc Father)
(sitting on the throne)
Jayden. *Step forward*
Jayden Aurelthane
(Mc)
Father.
Daryven Aurelthane
(Mc Father)
You’ve returned from the High Citadel. Tell me—what did you learn?
Jayden Aurelthane
(Mc)
Control. Strategy. And... how to speak when silence is more powerful.
Khaleon Aurelthane
(Mc Older Brother)
(chuckling from the side) He learned poetry too?
Amara Aurelthane
(Mc Big Sister)
(smiling slightly) Better than learning to be a hammer, Khaleon.
Daryven Aurelthane
(Mc Father)
Enough. Jayden—you are being sent to the border.
Jayden Aurelthane
(Mc)
...Umbraxis?
Daryven Aurelthane
(Mc Father)
A peace summit. The third prince of Ashborne will be there. You will represent Solara.
Jayden Aurelthane
(Mc)
Me? Not Khaleon?
Khaleon Aurelthane
(Mc Older Brother)
I’m needed here. Besides... you’ve returned a man. Time to prove it.
Amara Aurelthane
(Mc Big Sister)
(quietly, to Jayden) Be careful. Not everyone at the border wants peace.
Jayden Aurelthane
(Mc)
I understand.
Jayden walks down the sunlit corridor alone.
Jayden Aurelthane
(Mc)
💭 Ashborne… the enemy kingdom. And I’m to face them? What are you planning, Father?
