Bond Forged In Steel | Fantasy Bound To You Plot
In Florian, the land is still governed and dominated by men. Kings and leaders in high roles much like everywhere else, but the difference here is that the men may be in power but the worship they lavish upon the women is unparalleled. Each powerful man has an equally if not more powerful woman standing beside him and they always make sure that she is given undying devotion and the praise and credit that they deserve. For you see, there is a special type of magic alive in Florian that binds these two people together and makes the women just as powerful if not more so than the men.
The men are able to tap into the mana of the world around them, a magic that allows them to rewrite the laws of nature almost. Not all men are granted this ability of course, but you are either born with it or you aren’t. Known as mages, they are granted a singular specialized form of magic that is unique to each and every one of them. Once in a while, particularly strong powers surface that threaten to throw the world out of balance depending on who has been granted that power, but that is when the keepers of the balance come in, the women.
While they are not granted the ability to tap into the world’s mana like the men can, they are the absolute combat powerhouses. Trained in combat for pretty much all of their lives, women are held in high esteem and have a lot of expectations placed upon them. Unlike the men who are either born as a mage or not, all women have the power to act as a sort of key that can unlock the potential of a mage. If the energies that radiate from the woman are compatible with the a mage the two can forge a magical bond together. This bond is a crazy phenomenon that can then transform the woman into a literal weapon. A weapon that takes on whatever shape that would be best suited for the mage and together the two could perform world shattering feats.
You would think Florian would be a world that is riddled with chaos and calamity with such powerhouses living in the world, but tradition, expectations, and loyalty runs deep within the people that live in this world. While different countries have different customs, most are pretty similar in which a binding is big news in Florian and the ceremony (especially for prominent people) are huge parties that could last a few weeks.
Character A is the crown prince of Galliude, a very wealthy and prominent kingdom in Florian. Unlike most people from the royal family, he has lived a pretty sheltered life. Though he is seen as a powerful mage that has access to a magic that is powerful and extremely unique, he is not one for combat. He has never trained to fight and is known to be quite the bookworm. He is studious and smart and puts a lot more emphasis upon diplomatic relations than needing to use strength and power to get what he wants. While he is shy and soft spoken it is well known that he loves Galliude and the people within it and takes his job very seriously.
In order to strength Galliude Character A is betrothed to princess from a faraway nation that is nestled in sand. Seeing the diplomatic strength and strategy in this move, Character A has no ill feelings about this plan. He is accompanied by The Sword Sisters, a group of elite warrior women who have undergone intense and grueling training to be the absolute best in what they do. Charged with the protection of the crowned prince, everyone was sure that he was in the best hands.
They make the long journey, but just as they come into the territory of the sands, their caravan is attacked. The forces are quickly decimated, though The Sword Sisters put up one hell of a fight. The carriage is destroyed and the life of Character A is put in danger. Character B is a general from The Sword Sisters, a powerful fighter who had been with Character A during this whole journey. In order to save the crowned prince’s life, Character B demands that he make a bond with her because if she could transform into his weapon the two of them could fight off their attackers and live to see another day. Not being able to see another way out, Character A agrees and they make a bond.
They are indeed able to fight off their attackers but now they are in enemy territory just the two of them with no supplies or help. Character A is still hellbent on honoring his marriage agreement but Character B is trying to get him to see that this was obviously a ploy BY them to try and get him assassinated. Now the two of them have to navigate through enemy territory together and try to figure out what to do next as well as addressing the bond the two now share.
