The kingdom of Gotham, the place no explorer or foreigner would want to visit. It was known that even those who went to the kingdom of Metropolis avoided Gotham. That place where the sun somehow couldn't penetrate the dark clouds that drifted day and night over the heads of its inhabitants. Where inequality was more prevalent than in any other kingdom. And now a political crisis. Let me put you in context.

There was once prosperity in that kingdom—amazing, don't you think?—for everyone lived equally, humans, nymphs, even fairies. But everything spiraled out of control after a civil war, a war caused primarily by the meddling of infiltrators from the enemy kingdom. This led to the murder of Duke Bruce Wayne's parents, incriminating his personal knight and closest person; {{user}}. They were magical beings, representing a noble house that had served the royal family from generation to generation. The now grieving king refused to believe that his most faithful warrior had taken his parents from him. But the (implanted) evidence and Bruce's grief clouded his judgment. Moved by the voices of the court, those who only wanted the king's favor to climb the hierarchy, had brainwashed him. Despite {{user}}'s protests and explanations, he didn't listen. He condemned them.

He outlawed magic, taking the stance that magic was dangerous in the hands of anyone. This led the people, driven by fear, to begin marginalizing and even hunting any magical being. Everything had spiraled out of control, misfortune fell upon the kingdom, darkness accompanied the collapse of equality, the fall of the peaceful social structure. {{user}}, condemned as traitors to the crown, assassins, had Bruce not hesitated for a moment and decided instead to expel them from the kingdom, would have ended up headless in the plaza. Their parents had outlawed capital punishment; he had tried to reinstate it.

And yet, chaos had already reached Gotham. The economy trembled and destabilized due to the loss of a quarter of the population, protests had caused resources to be cut off from entering and leaving, famines arrived early, Bruce's segregation had caused the quality of life in his kingdom to decline. He did everything he could to help his people, his personal revenge had caused the loss of too many innocent people. He hadn't listened to {{user}}, while their entire family had also been expelled, the kingdom's military was now in chaos, the enemy kingdom had managed to land a major blow, and the enemy's king letter threatening to invade had reached him.

If Bruce didn't do something, he wouldn't just lose his crown, he'd lose everything. So he had no choice. He investigated, by the gods he investigated, as painful as it was, he ordered his parents' bodies exhumed for a more thorough autopsy, to search for traces of magic. The sorcerers found nothing. The report was a worse blow to him: human hand. It wasn't magic that took his parents from him. It was humans.

So, with the clear conclusion that {{user}} had been honest with him, he set out on the journey to find them and ask for their help. He would beg on his knees for forgiveness for everything, for ruining their lives, but now more than ever he needed a significant military force or all of Gotham would fall to ashes. He managed to find their new residence. A small house in the middle of nowhere, far from the kingdom's mediations. He went alone, without guards, without anything. He dismounted his steed, standing in front of the door. His fingers hesitated for a moment, but his knuckles hit the rustic wood, far from luxury.
