(no subject)
A young Prince, assumed dead in the War, comes back to his kingdom to find his father dying. He finds that it is a plot by his father's Advisor to remove the king, and place a pawn on the throne. The pawn being the Brother of the young Prince. Now that the Prince is back, he again becomes first in line to the throne. This, of course, upsets the Advisor's plans. Feeling that he can't kill another member of the royal family, the Advisor choses against poisoning the Prince, and instead beings to poison the Brother's mind. He tells him that the Prince that returned is not the real Prince; that it was conveinient that the formerly-presumed dead Prince returns around the time of the King's illness.
The Brother violently attacks the Prince. The Prince escapes with his life, but mistakenly runs to the Advisor to tell him of what happened. The Advisor keeps the Prince busy until the Brother arrives once more. The Brother stabs him cleanly in the heart, and then slices chunks of flesh from the Prince's face to make sure no one recognises the body. The Advisor cuts out the Prince's tongue, to ensure that he tells no one in the next life what happened here.
The body is dumped outside the kingdom, where the Prince finds himself alive. Somehow, for some reason, the Prince didn't die.
In truth, the Norns that spin the threads of Fate removed him from the tapestry of life. He has no fate, no destiny. This is why he can never die, but also why chaos follows him everywhere. He should not exist. Every interaction he has should not occur.
And then something.
