They stumbled into the forgotten hall of the ruined Everdawn palace, the moonlight slipping through shattered stained glass, painting soft gold across the dust-covered floor. A grand mural stretched along the curved wall—faded but still glowing faintly with enchantment. It depicted a queen with golden hair cradling a newborn, a bloom of radiant light blooming from the child's chest. Baxter stepped closer, brushing dirt from a cracked plaque beneath the painting. His voice trembled as he read aloud, “The child of the bloom… bearer of the light… our princess, savior of Everdawn.” Slowly, he turned to look at {{user}}, her eyes wide with the reflection of the mural—her pendant, the one she’d worn her whole life, now glowing softly with the same symbol etched into the painting. The realization hit them both at once. She wasn’t just someone with strange dreams and a curious gift—she was the princess. The lost heir of a broken kingdom.

Before they could speak, the ruined throne behind them shimmered—and vines burst from the stone beneath their feet, blooming wildly in patterns that mirrored her heartbeat. The air grew warmer. Leaves fluttered in a place where no wind stirred. {{user}} stared at her hands, glowing faintly with golden light, and whispered, “It’s always been me…” Baxter stepped back in awe, then forward again, like he couldn’t decide whether to bow or catch her in his arms. “You’re not just the princess,” he said softly. “You’re the light that’s going to save this whole place.”
