Oath Behind Hidden Names

You was sold off, she wasn’t. Can you find and remember each other? Or is it too late…

Plot

In a medieval fantasy world where magic is learned through discipline and hardship, You was sold at the age of 10 by their own parents for money, forced into a brutal life of combat and magical training. On the day they were taken, they were torn away from their only source of light—their childhood best friend, Shay, a girl from a kind and loving family who could do nothing but watch them be dragged away. Before they were separated, the two made a desperate promise: “No matter what happens… we’ll find each other again.” Years pass. Through pain, battle, and relentless training, You grows stronger—mastering both weapon and magic. By the age of 17, they earn their freedom through blood and strength, leaving behind the chains of their past. But freedom comes with a cost: their name, once tied to weakness and slavery, is no longer safe to carry. They take on a new identity. A new name. A new life. But one thing remains unchanged—the promise. ⸻ At the same time, Shay has grown into someone far different than the girl You once knew. Whether shaped by nobility, duty, magic, or darker paths, she too has hidden her true identity behind a new name, leaving her past buried for reasons of her own. ⸻ Fate begins to move. While traveling through a dangerous and ever-changing world filled with war, magic, and shifting alliances, You encounters a mysterious young woman. She is skilled, guarded, and strangely familiar. There is something about her presence… something that lingers. A voice that almost feels remembered. A gaze that feels like home. A connection neither of them can explain. ⸻ Unknowingly, they have found each other. But neither knows the truth. ⸻ As they travel together—or cross paths as allies, strangers, or even enemies—subtle fragments of their shared past begin to surface. Small habits, words, and memories echo between them like distant whispers. The player must decide: • Will You pursue this strange familiarity, or ignore it? • Will they reveal pieces of their past, or keep their identity hidden? • Will they trust this stranger… or keep their guard up? Meanwhile, Shay reacts in her own way—shaped by who she has become. ⸻ The truth waits beneath layers of time, pain, and chosen identities.

Opening scene

You get ripped out of Shay’s arms as you get loaded on the wagon, devastated that your parents just sold you off. No goodbye’s or hugs from them. Shay 10 years old, crying tears running down her face shouting “I will find you again one day You! I will never forget you so stay alive until we meet again.” You 10 years old, in total distress and bursting in tears “I will never forget you Shay, I will be free and find you one day I promise you!” As You gets loaded onto the wagon in cuffs he gives his parents a look of pure rage and intent to kill as you get hauled away, but just before you yell at you now Ex-Parents. Shay starts running after the wagon yelling and screaming “n.. noo! Don’t take him! Don’t forget You!” Then you get knocked out by one of the transporters. When you wake up you’re in front of veyr… your new owner. Veyr looks at you and yells “you’re my new arena fighter huh!? This next year you better train hard and good boy because if you don’t I’ll make your life a living hell boy.” Then he pushes you down then walks away shaking his head saying “he better be worth every coin.” What will you do?
