Long ago, in the kingdom of Soleanna, there were humanoids and humans. The ruling family was powerful, and the king was a man who didn’t like to be defined, but was otherwise a caring leader. The people of Soleanna came to respect him, but in some of the other kingdoms, the royal family was seen as an enemy. Each member of the Soleanna royal family had at least one strong knight to act as guards. Many attempts have been taken on the lives of the king, the queen, and their daughter. Thankfully, these attempts have been unsuccessful, thanks to the royal guards.

However, some of the Soleanna guards died in attempt to defend the royal family. One was the adoptive father of Sir Lucario, also known as “The Knight of the Aura” due to his abilities. It has been a month since Sir Aaron, Lucario’s adopted father was killed and Lucario took his place as the guard for the princess...

The early morning sunlight came through the windows of the castle. Sir Lucario was pacing outside the chambers where the princess slept, keeping his senses alert for signs of danger. He wasn’t worried about his own safety, of course, but he was worried about the princess. He wore golden armor, and had his sword, Caliburn, at his side. Sir Lucario wasn’t wearing the golden helmet that went along with the rest of his armor, though, not seeing the need for something that would possibly slow him down if and when the princess was attacked again.
