Someone once told me to get my own idea. So, I had to wait for inspiration. It took me a year to find inspiration. and I wanna share the prologue.
It's a project I'm gonna start working on as soon as I get enough people to help. So don't expect any screenshots just yet.

Story/Prologue (updated):

Spoiler for:

Once upon a time, there lived a land known as Garma.
It is a land of Prosperity and peace.
A land that is populated by various species of humans and humanoids. (AKA Furries

)
In a kingdom called Koraven (Core-a-ven), there lived a kind king named Theos.
He established a group of knights called "The Knights of the Goddess". (name pending)
Seven knights from seven different kingdoms, towns and cities that would protect the land:

Arthur, from Malrak (Mall-rack); the kingdom of the humans,
Locke (lock), from Talva; the city of the cats,
Kraid (Krade), from Bonza; the town of the primates,
Kardoan (Card-Own), from Fenore (fen-or-ay); the desert city of the mongooses,
Juno, from Luvion (luu-vee-on); the town of the horses,
Alconred (al-con-red), a fox from the kingdom of Koraven,
and Kalvaar (calv-are), a human who is also from the kingdom of Koraven.

Theos sent Kalvaar to do an errand from out of Koraven,
But Kalvaar did not want to leave his sick mother alone.
So the king summoned a bodyguard to protect her and promises that she would be all right.
After returning to the kingdom, he found that his house was almost destroyed from the inside.
The bodyguard was killed, When Kalvaar was inside, he found his mother deceased.
He was furious at the king that he didn't keep his promise, but could not attack him
for he knew what the penalty was for assault.
So he fled from Koraven and arrived into the Dark Abyss.

The Dark Abyss is the most dangerous part of land.
only the unknown roams.
It is said that the Dark Abyss is ruled by a man who others call The Darkmage;
a sorcerer with powerful magic.
They say that he creates disasters wherever he goes, and would inspire others to be evil.

When Kalvaar arrived, he started to think about his mother being killed,
and the king breaking his promise (or so he thought).
He began to hate Theos.
Suddenly, the Darkmage appeared before his eyes and offered him a deal:
If he were to become the Darkmage's pupil, he would have the power to get revenge on the king.
The deal was struck, and Kalvaar began his training.
His thoughts became dark and evil,
and in time, he forgot about his mother and why he hated Theos.
An idea came to him:
If he was to kill the king with no witnessing,
He would tell everyone that he would be the new ruler of Koraven.

Eight years later, He returned.
His appearance was completely different from before.
His armor had the color of dark silver, his face was covered by his helmet.
Only his eyes can be seen, his strength has improved completely thanks to the training from the Darkmage.
A few days later, Kalvaar and Theos left the kingdom to visit the kingdom of Baalga.
During their way through the cliffs, Kalvaar destroyed the ropes that were holding the bridge.
Theos grabbed on to the ledge and called Kalvaar for help.
Kalvaar stared at him for a few seconds and walked away.
Theos eventually lost his grasp and fell to his death.

Kalvaar then returned to Koraven and told everyone about the king's death
and announced that Theos made him the new king.
The knights slowly began to suspect him.
Alconred knew something was not right.
Why would Theos make Kalvaar the new king?
And why weren't the knights informed about it?
The six looked into a crystal ball to see what happened to the king.
They found out, and tried to warn the kingdom, but Kalvaar entered their chamber and
killed all of the knights so that they would not tell the kingdom what happened to Their deceased king.

Kalvaar Ruled the kingdom with an iron fist.
Taxes were raised, new laws were made, and a few citizens slowly starved.
Slowly, Kalvaar started thinking: "Why rule just one kingdom, when there are more to conquer?"
Soon, Kalvaar formed up an army led by three of his faithful servants:

Scythe, from the sanctuary of the dragons, second in command,
Torloc, from the kingdom of Evergreen, third in command,
and Trace, from Skuul; the kingdom of the humans, fourth in command.

In the kingdom of Koraven, The people fell into dispair.
There was no one on the streets,
no shops opened,
the guards were standing in front of the gates to ensure that no one would go in or out,
a few have thrown away their will to live.
There was no hope left.
Suddenly, from out of nowhere, A prophecy came to Koraven that
the land would be saved if the heir of one of the Knights of the Goddess was to collect the seven treasures of the land.
A servant of Kalvaar overheard the prophecy and left to report to the dark lord.
Kalvaar knew about the Seven Treasures of Garma and started searching during his conquest.
Whoever gathers the seven legendary treasures would be given unspeakable power.
If Kaalvar was to obtain them, no one could stop him,
and Garma would forever fall into darkness.

Will the heir save the land of Garma?
Or will Kalvaar rule all?
Only time would tell...
