This story is an alternate version of BATIM because only two chapters are out now of the game, and I'd rather see all five chapters before I consider writing an in-game story.

So let's get to it. Enjoy!

A kingdom stood, strong and mighty, a part of a mountainous region. Most of the mountain region was taken over by it, although it blended well enough to look like it was always there. The land that flourished around the mountainous land was grassland and wild trees bundled together into a large forest. The kingdom followed the mountain range trail, and any other villages made on the this trail were occupied by kingdom residents and citizens.

Within the main castle, the king was in the throne room, standing with his throne behind him, and his son knelt before him. The king wore black, white, and golden royal robes, while his son, the prince, wore a black suit with a black trench coat that trailed behind him, and white gloves over his hands.

The prince is about to receive his father's blessing to go beyond their land to a side where mostly cities reside in their democracy to find someone important.

"You have learned all that could be taught to a prince, and now the time has come for you to be Sent Off. You are to leave the kingdom for a while, take a journey to the other side, and learn how to live on your own. But remember, your sole and most important objective is to find your future bride. The future queen of our kingdom when it is time for you to be king. It is a very important task, and you may see a few of our own there since they are carrying out tasks of their own, in case you may need assistance in an emergency. Now, my son, I grant you my blessing to go, and find your future wife," the King said, as he laid his scepter on the kneeling prince's shoulder.

After the king removed his scepter, his son stood up as he signed loudly.

"Oh my gos- What is it now Bendy?" the King asked.

Prince Bendy dusted himself off and fixed his white cuffs as he replied, "It's just that, I'm going off on this field trip of a mission to find my bride, but what for? I can obviously run a kingdom on my own. I don't need hel-"

The pound of his father's scepter on the ground echoed harshly in the room, which made Prince Bendy go silent.

"Bendy, your arrogance isn't fit to run a kingdom, and you do not seem to grasp as to why a future bride is important," the King said, as Prince Bendy lowered his head in recognition of his absurd remark.

"Let me explain: you are searching for a future wife so that she can rule by your side as the future queen of our kingdom. She is not only a wife that you will love and cherish as she does for you so that you will not grow cold, but also a queen and the most loyal to you. She will keep you in balance, so that the kingdom will be at balance. You both will expose each others' strengths and weaknesses so that you can become stronger together as a whole, and the kingdom will continue to prosper, along with your further-future heir to the throne. Do you see why this is so important? And why the Link training was as well?" the King explained.

"Yes, I understand. Link training helps me to sense the inner heart of anyone, which can help me find my future bride if her inner song blends with mine," the prince said, as his father nodded.

"Yes. You did exemplary to sense, but no heart here blended with yours, just like mine when I was your age. Now, my son, it is time for you to begin your journey," the King said, as he approached his son and hugged him.

"Be safe, my son, and find your perfect bride. Goodbye," the King said, with hope and sadness, as his startled son hugged him back and said,

"I will, dad. I won't let you down, and don't worry about me. I'll be alright."

After separating from the hug, the prince gathered his belongings and left on a secret carriage to the city, as the King watched from his balcony.

Then he thought, 'Oh gosh, I hope his bride isn't just a female version of my son! He's a good man, but he's somewhat rowdy and mischievous! If his bride is the same...'

The King walked back into the castle, heading to his room while holding his head and saying, "I need a nice, long rest before he comes home. I might need as much as I can get."

A little shorter than usual, but the next chapter will make up for that.

See ya soon. ;)
