Avi, the Zephyr’s Eye

The sun blazed over a vast desert kingdom in the Shatterlands, its grand palace shimmering in the sweltering heat. Among the luxurious halls, Avi, one prince among many, yearned for more than the comforts of royalty. His ambition wasn’t for wealth or power, but recognition. He wished to be known for his accomplishments, not just as another prince.

One day, while wandering through the palace’s grand corridors, he overheard whispers from a room overflowing with parchment and antiquities. Two scholars were engrossed in a tale of an ancient artefact — a magical bow, ‘The Zephyr’, said to be buried in a forgotten temple, erected by the kingdom’s forebears, now lost to the sands just beyond the palace walls. The scholars revealed that the king had asked them to retrieve the artefact for his firstborn, a title Avi did not hold.

Enraged and envious of his brother, yet determined to prove his worth, Avi covertly entered the room once the scholars had departed, stealing the parchment that marked the temple’s location. Under the cover of night, he donned simple robes and embarked on his secret quest, leaving the royal palace behind.

Avi arrived at the location, an unassuming rock half-buried in the sand. The prince dug fervently until he revealed a stone slab, concealing the temple entrance. Despite his best efforts, the stone wouldn’t budge. Fuelled by frustration and determination, Avi mustered all his strength for one final heave, dislodging the stone slab. However, he lost his footing, tumbling down into the ancient structure.

Slowly regaining his composure, Avi found himself awestruck by the sight of the grand temple. At its heart lay the golden bow, radiant as the sun itself. Grasping it, he felt a surge of magical energy course through him. Suddenly, the room illuminated with ancient runes, and a portal sprung open. Out poured a seemingly endless swarm of beetles, drawn towards the palace.

In desperation, Avi tried to fend off the insects, firing arrows from his newfound weapon. The beetles touched by the arrow exploded, flinging him into the air and out of the temple amidst the swarm. Lying in the sand, Avi realized the catastrophic threat the swarm posed to the palace.

Observing the beetles’ attraction to the light of his magical arrows, Avi shot an arrow high into the sky, drawing the swarm’s attention towards him. As they turned back, he dashed towards the still-open portal in the temple. With the swarm on his tail, Avi leapt into the portal. As he was pulled into a tunnel of light, he unleashed a powerful shot at the portal’s entrance, causing a massive explosion. Suddenly, he was hurled through space, landing on lush green grass as the portal closed behind him.

Brushing himself off, Avi rose to his feet, surveying the unfamiliar landscape around him. In the distance, he spotted an ethereal giant tree, its grandeur captivating him. It felt like it was calling out to him, and he was inexplicably drawn towards it. Suddenly, an unsettling realization struck the exiled prince — the beetles he had unwittingly unleashed were from a far darker place than this tranquil setting.

Guilt wrestled within him. Avi was unsure how to return home, and whether he should at all. However, one thing was clear — he had to seek out the source of these malevolent creatures, and ensure they posed no further threat to anyone. Guided by a renewed sense of purpose, Avi began his quest no longer just for recognition, but to right the wrong he caused.

After stealing a map and embarking on a journey to an ancient temple, Avi unleashed a swarm of destructive beetles, endangering his kingdom in his quest for recognition.
