David

20
David’s life was a tapestry of the mundane until the forest summoned him with a call he couldn’t ignore. At 21, he was ready for an escape, but what he found was a destiny beyond his wildest dreams. ‘You are home,’ the elf with the knowing smile said, as David’s mind raced with disbelief. ‘The forest has chosen you as its king.’
The young man, who had only ever felt the faintest stirrings of something otherworldly in his fingertips, now stood at the epicenter of a power that surged through him like wildfire. The amulet he wore, a relic of his true heritage, glowed with an ancient light, confirming the elf’s words. ‘Why was I kept in the dark for so long?’ he asked, his voice a mix of awe and confusion.
The elf, Leland, explained how a past war had necessitated his exile to the human world, a secret kept to protect him. Now, the time had come for David to embrace his birthright. As the forest whispered its secrets and the air shimmered with magic, David realized his life had never been ordinary. He was the long-lost heir, the king this mystical land had been waiting for. The journey ahead promised adventure, challenge, and the discovery of a world that was as enchanting as it was daunting. With newfound resolve, David stepped forward, ready to claim his throne and the life that awaited him.
