"Today was the day I was going to test of time travel was possible. What am I talking about? I know it's possible. Although the way that it happened the first time was an complete accident. Regardless, this machine I built was going to take me to the past of my ancestors on Earth. I've always heard about the planet but I never visited. Supposedly, all the humans that expanded across the stars originated from Earth. I'm eager to see just what I'll find."

This is what I originally thought when I was going to go back. Perhaps...I was just a bit too eager. I had started up that machine and it worked as intended. Using a little bit of science and magic, I successfully went back in time to Earth's past. When I had gotten there, I seen a lot of things that weren't even mentioned in the history books of the future. For one, magic was more abundant in the past than here in the future where it's rapidly declining due to the advancements of science. Second, a lot of supposedly mythological creatures such as orcs, dragons, demons, and the like definitely were sentient. Third, gods actually existed here when science had debunked their existence. In short, Earth seemed more like a fairy tail than reality. All of this was fascinating. I took notes, pictures, a copy of each and every piece of literature I could find to catalog it and bring it back with me.

Everything was going great until reaching a kingdom of Astoria. This place was beautiful. It was almost like what those descriptions of the Celestial Plane would look like. This kingdom was expansive and grand. No doubt it took the greatest architects of this time to build such a marvel. I spend a few weeks here just taking in the sights. When I wasn't doing that, I spent my time in the Grand Library just reading what I could. Luckily Arius, a wrist mounted computer that I had built came with a universal translator so I was able to convert what was displayed in the books and speech in English for myself. All was good and I was going to go back to the future with everything I had learned, cataloged, and stored. That was until my last week in Astoria.

Their recent king had just died and everyone in the kingdom was holding a funeral for him. He died in battle against one of the kingdom's enemies. I decided that it'd be a good idea to go to this event. It was made public by the Queen of Astoria. Let me tell you about her, I've seen some beautiful women in my day but no one came close to her. To be honest, it was almost unfair. Her eyes were a light blue hue like that of glacial ice, yet her expression was warm and inviting. Her face held with a kindness that was matched by no other. Her hair flowed with rows upon rows of gold, silver, and crimson hues. Her body was the stuff of legends. Her curves, edges, her everything seemed to make the models of my time look like simple dress up. It was as if her body was crafted by the gods. I heard some people weep of her beauty. Honestly, he was something to behold and I was humbled to see such a perfect creature.

I would've been lying if I said I wasn't attracted but I didn't need to interfere with the timeline. My best bet was to observe and document. If I had remembered my history books correctly, this was the beginning of the end for this kingdom. It was sad but it was already written in history. I remember being on the side of the road as I watched the knights came strolling into the middle of the kingdom. Using their horns to play music, it was sad and slightly depressing. A lot of people was crying around me. One lady even cried on my shoulder. I let her do as she wished and kept watching the knights pass by me carrying a large coffin. In the back of that was the queen and all of her beauty in an elegant yet simple carriage. I opted to take off my hood to get a better look at her and the coffin that was passing in front of me. This was when all hell broke loose for me.

Remember the woman that was crying on my shoulder? When I had taken my hood off, she got a good look at me. One thing I wasn't suspecting to have was any recognizable features to anyone of this time. I assumed this but I played it safe until now to avoid a problem like this but...the one time out of my life I went outside my better judgement. The woman gasped in my ear and I quickly looked at her. I asked her what was wrong but she went white as a ghost then she fainted. I tried to wake her up but that only met more commotion with others around me. From then on, I heard nothing but a collection of gasps from the crowd around me. I was utterly confused as to why. Its not like I gave away who I was or what technology I had. I assumed at first they thought I killed her but I assured them that she was still breathing. Though it had seemed that they weren't interested in that. They were interested in me.

Everyone that was around me suddenly gave me space. Looking at me with wide eyes. I didn't make any sudden moves because I thought they were going to be hostile. That situation was growing increasingly nerve wracking for me. That's when the convoy that was passing in the middle of the street stopped as well. That's when I saw the queen herself get out of the carriage that she was in accompanied by what I was guessing was her personal guards. She seemed to be walking toward me. I backed away but the people around me was whispering. I could've sworn I heard one of them say the word "King". I wasn't sure. This wasn't good. This really wasn't good. Especially when I seen the queen herself looking just as shocked as the people around me. All this pressure, I remember wanting to get away yet my legs were bolted to the ground. I couldn't move. My body didn't want to move. Each step the queen took toward me, the more my legs wanted to buckle.

"You're alive..." she said to me.

This confirmed what I was thinking. These people...this queen. I must have had some resemblance to their dead king. Not so much as a resemblance as a splitting image. The next thing I know, all of them are bowing to me. The queen, the knights, the people around me. All the while, I'm standing here looking completely dumbfounded. The only thought that I had in my head was the only rational thing I could've thought of in that situation.

"Oh shit..."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This particular idea takes place in an alternate version of Earth where one of his ancestors had been the king of Astoria. Saren, whether he wants to or not, must take up the mantle as King. This means fighting ancestor's many enemies of this time. Between man and monster alike. Run a kingdom and be with his loving wife which is your character, the queen. This is going to require the both of us to build the world and lore around us as well as furthering this story. Honestly, it's slightly inspired from Fire Emblem...at least the world I envision Astoria being in. This particular idea is more story so if this idea isn't your cup of tea, ask about my other ones. I have different characters for different ideas so none of them are going to be the same. Well, hope you enjoy this one. If you'd like to do this one then by all means, message me. Later!
