The Silent Hour of Prince Aldric
The magical kingdom of Veloria has fallen into an unnatural stillness. Prince Aldric has returned from his travels to find every clock frozen and every citizen standing like stone. A dark sorcerer named Malachar has stolen the kingdom's heart, the Lumina Crystal, and trapped the realm in a single sleeping moment. The villain has declared that unless the prince makes him ruler, the kingdom will never wake again.
Prince Aldric wished to challenge the sorcerer immediately, but his wise advisor stopped him. 'Patience, my prince,' said the old mage. 'If you attack now, you will seal Veloria's fate forever.' A sacred prophecy has revealed that Malachar can only be defeated when the twin moons cross the sky, an event that will not happen for three nights.
