The child of the king, Tiokia, and his brother's child, Rukishu, spent their childhoods as "prototypes"- they were neither princes nor princesses, as was characteristic of Izaron. As time passed, Rukishu became a prince, while Tiokia stayed physically androgynous. The country became conflicted as to which should ascend the throne as they aged, and the siblings' bond was severed as a result. In this timeframe, Tiokia gets sent to a neighboring country as a hostage as ordered by Izaron's king-!
