🌼 A Brief History 🌼
Once upon a time...In the ever blooming fields of Scarlet Village, there lived the radiant Queen Faen and her shining golem union. Rather than fighting, the golems of Scarlet Village were tasked with making peace between other kingdoms. One golem-
in particular had caught the queen's interest, and thus was chosen to be by her side at all times as her personal guard. In truth, the queen saw no reason to be guarded, instead wanting her golem to assist her in her prized trophy garden. The queen saw potential in this-
golem who had a special interest in plants, perhaps in hopes of finally making her prized Ender Blossom come into bloom. This sacred plant was said to come from a separate dimension from our own, and was told to have great power in the right hands...
However...It wasn't long before word got out that the queen of Scarlet Village was keeping such a rare plant hidden away. A neighboring kingdom, along with its ruler King Platos, plotted a sinister plan to get the Ender Blossom in order to overthrow the other kingdoms and become their-
supreme overlord. The king requested an audience with Queen Faen and her plant-loving golem, hosting a festival in her honor in hopes of becoming allies. The queen saw no ill intent, and so her and her golem graciously accepted the kind invitation and made their way over.
The plot was now unfolding...As the village people and royal servants kept the queen busy with festivities, she was gradually separated from her guard, and finally, the golem was seized and imprisoned. Now without her protection, the king demanded that Faen hand over her prized
Ender Blossom, or her precious golem would be destroyed before her eyes. Unknown to the king, and even the queen, the now enraged golem unleashed a power never seen before! Giant, powerful vines came bursting from the prison ground, breaking open the cell and releasing the-
golem from its cage. Now freed, the golem ran to be by its queen, carrying her all the way back to Scarlet Village. King Platos was furious...but intrigued. He had to get that golem back, along with the Ender Blossom. With both in his hands, he was sure to be the most powerful ruler...
On the next day, the queen was alerted that a large army was on the horizon and heading straight for Scarlet Village, with King Platos in the front of the charge! The golem army of Scarlet Village were now forced to go into battle, something they were not trained for as peacemakers.
The queen's army was at a huge disadvantage, but she could not let the king threaten her people. As the battle raged, the king slipped away to find the fabled trophy garden, but encountered the queen's golem. The king came prepared, brandishing a sturdy blade enchanted with-
fire magic. The fiery blade easily cut through the golem's tough iron body, weakening it enough to get past into the garden. There, the king found Queen Faen stationed at her beloved blossom, refusing to give it up. King Plato offered her one last chance to surrender...
...Queen Faen refused. The king lunged at her, armed with the magic blade, aiming for her head. Just then, the queen's golem summoned large roots beneath the king's feet, grabbing him and throwing him to the ground. In an act of desperation, the king hurled his sword at the golem...
The blade stabbed right into the golem's heart. The queen rushed to her golem's side as its life slowly faded. With its remaining power, the golem poured its magical energy into the Ender Blossom, causing it to spring open in a fury of light! The plant's sparkling purple and
black petals shed fine particles of light all over the garden, giving life to every plant contained within. King Platos could not believe his eyes, drawn in by the brilliant blossom. He got closer and closer, reaching out to touch one of its petals...and vanished into nothing.
Queen Faen thanked her brave, kind golem, watching as its life finally faded, and its body crumbled to pieces. Returning to the battlefield, the queen declared King Platos defeated, holding up his blade to the attacking kingdom's army. With no commander, or ruler, the attackers fled...
It is still unknown where the Ender Blossom transported King Platos. Some say he was simply killed by the queen and his body was hidden. Others say he was sent to the underworld for his crimes. Perhaps, he was sent to another dimension entirely…
