The Years We Forgot

Everyone speaks about the years going by as if they never existed; as a memory long forgotten.

The Kingdom of Vystienna is a kingdom unlike the ones we know in this world. With the rise of a new monarch, there has always been a predicted period in which they ruled. Some lasted hundreds of years - others a mere five - until their timely death. One king, in particular, was told he would only rule for twenty, which was comparatively better than those who never reached even ten years. However, he decided he wanted more. Such a simple thought, the idea of trying to outrun the clock. If only it was that easy, to manipulate time.
