On the Hagreth Kingdom,the Old King was aging and looking for the right heir of his throne.He has seven sons but he feels that no one ever deserves to be a King.He chose his own daughter Marie Luna who was now 20years missing.He does not have any options or ideas but his most trustful adviser gave him a suggestion.After hearing the suggestion,he quickly told his seven sons
Edward,John,Frederick,Friedrich,Louis,Kenneth and Henry to catch and tame a young blue star.To prove that it was tamed,it must be turn to pink.The one who can do it shall be the King.
Eris’ father told him about her mother The Long Lost Princess Marie Luna.It was 17years ago her mother was a very beautiful attractive Princess.She was a slave of an ugly Beldam.His father wanted to take her away but she was tied on a rope that can never be cutted.During the absence of the Beldam,the two were always together and that relationship results of having Eris.
Before he was born,his mother gave his father a box and said never to open it and only gave it to Eris when he turned seventeen.
And now Eris have the box,he opened it.With astonishment,he opened the box that contains a gold dust,a rope and a Falling Star Locket.It has a note on it.He read it and it says.
“Blow all the golden dusts on the top of the RavenWood Mountain and make a wish…Catch the star with the rope and never let it go..and bring it to the Kingdom you never know and soon your opportunities will soon show”
He followed all the directions but he doesn’t even know why.He blew the golden dust and it flew away up into the sky.He saw a shining blue Star shines even more but it looks like it was falling.He run away but it was like the falling star was following him.The Blue Star crashed along and surrounds smoke everywhere.
He looked at it but he did not see a star,but a beautiful Lady with a strange bluish color,her name was Pharangle.It screamed and shout all along.Eris tied her foot with the rope and the star could not escape.
The Star was a loud one and feels irritable,she is always mad and the two always fight.Eris decided to travel somewhere to find a Kingdom.The two were together travelling for many days.And soon the two learned to be friends.But they know in themselves they feel way more than friends.
They found themselves on a Town called “Mackhaile”,a busy town full of magic and spells.The news spread out about the star and everyone wants to catch her and be the King.One of them was the Old Beldam.
Pharangle was afraid but Eris protect her as long as he could.The Beldam challenged him but with the sword from his father,he easily defeated him with a great unexpectable strength.Then a Lady appeared who told him that he was her mother.Eris felt it and the two hugged.The Princess was so happy to hug and have his son back and also glad to see the Star.
When they travel,Eris met a beautiful young Lady who said her name was Scarlet.She was very seductive and Eris was caught.He was hypnotized saying that he will marry her.The Star heard it and felt heartbroken.She then decided to leave.
The Lady was really a witch,the youngest of the “Three Witch Sisters”.Eris was imprisoned and turned into a rat.Meanwhile Eris’ mother told her that Eris was in danger.Pharangle was worried and she traced where Eris was.
He was imprison on an Old Castle.When the Star entered,the three witches welcomed her.The Star was mad and ask for Eris.The Witches replied.
“You can only have him if you choose the right one” said the Black Witch
“We turn him into a rat” said the Violet Witch
“And if you choose the right rat then he’s yours and we will all be gone and if you choose wrong you will be ours” said the Scarlet Witch.
Pharangle agreed.She was really confuse because there are thousands of rats in different colors and sizes.All of them were running away from her when she comes.Then she said.
“Eris wherever you are,please come back to me.You know what I feel?I feel Love…and I have seen Love for thousand of centuries.All stars have hearts but I think my heart does not belong to me anymore..I think it belongs to you now…”
After those words,a little white rat come towards her and squeaked.She realizes it was Eris and she choses the white rat and she was right.The Three evil witch vanished from the air.
Eris was back to normal,and Pharangle was so glad to see him.She hugged him and kissed him.
“You know what…I feel the same way too…I think I could never now live without you..Please stay with me” pleaded Eris
“I will…forever be with you..”said Pharangle
Then,Pharangle shines splendidly and little by little turns into pinkish-white(pale).Eris’ Mother saw it.
“You are the next rightful King of Hagreth..”His mother said.
