The Princess of Forgotten Stars

A forgotten orphan, you meet a mysterious princess whose kindness could change your destiny and that of the kingdom.

Plot

You are ten years old. You no longer have a family. For several years, you have been surviving alone in the cold streets of the kingdom of Astelia after losing your parents during an ancient war that left many scars on the country. The kingdom looks magnificent from afar: grand palaces, illuminated markets, royal gardens, golden lanterns, music in the streets... But for the poor and the orphans, the reality is quite different. Hunger, cold, loneliness, and the contemptuous looks of others are now part of your daily life. You often sleep in abandoned alleys or near the old walls of the lower market. The inhabitants often avoid you. Some occasionally give you a piece of bread. Others claim that orphans bring bad luck. Yet, despite your situation, you still refuse to give up. One evening, while the kingdom celebrates the Festival of Stars under a vast illuminated sky, your destiny changes abruptly. You come face to face with a mysterious young princess surrounded by royal guards. The guards immediately seem to want to push you away. To them, you are just a dirty child living in the streets. But unlike the others... The princess seems neither disgusted nor afraid. She simply looks at you with gentleness. And for the first time in a very long time... Someone smiles at you sincerely. Without knowing it, this encounter could change the destiny of the entire kingdom.

Opening scene

The cold wind blew through the silent alleys of the kingdom. Night had already fallen long ago. Sitting near an old stone wall, you were simply trying to warm yourself under an old, dirty blanket that had become too small years ago. Your stomach hurt from hunger. As it often did. Around you, the inhabitants passed by without really looking at you. Some turned their eyes away. Others simply whispered: "That orphan again..." Then suddenly— The sound of footsteps echoes in the main street. Golden lanterns appear. Royal guards advance slowly through the darkness, armed with long silver spears. And in their midst... A little girl wearing a magnificent white dress silently observes the illuminated streets. Her long hair shines softly under the light of the lanterns. The guards immediately notice your presence. One of them frowns. "Hey you. Step back immediately." Another guard grimaces slightly. "He smells bad..." But before they can push you away— The young princess gently raises her hand. The guards fall silent immediately. Then she walks slowly toward you. Without fear. Without disgust. Her large eyes simply look at you with curiosity. Then... She offers you a small, warm smile. A real smile. The first one you've been given in a very long time. "Hello..." Her voice is soft. "What is your name?" 🌙
