Why are they wearing a bandana? Why do they never take it off? (500 words OR 1 art and 250 words max):
Damien was born into the royalty of a proud, headstrong kingdom. As the years past, he was always deemed to be the less "kingly" of the two princes. He was clumsy, forgetful, and unfocused, often daydreaming and generally being lost in the clouds. He would run to his eldest brother after a long day of pondering, point to the sky and say "That is where you will rule, brother! One day, we shall bow to you from atop the heavens." and grin a broad, silly looking grin. The sky was indeed the colour of the kingdom, that beautiful blue which Damien was always surrounded by. Damien wanted nothing more than to stretch their kingdom as far as the skies. But because of the way he acted he was often looked down apon, even by his own father, who at all times wore a robe in the kingdom's colors. And soon, it would be time for one son to be crowned king. Damian knew it of course would be his brother. He was far more dependable and valorous in the eyes of his father. The night before the inauguration, a huge festival was held on the grounds of the castle for the new king. However, the festivities were ruined when a group of bandits that entered unnoticed and set everyone in a panic. As the bandits lit one of the stands alight triggering a domino effect on the quickly burning festival, Damien's brother leapt into action along with the royal guard, wanting to defend his kingdom at any cost, while Damien shuffled people away to safety trying to save as many as he could. The bandits were indeed scared off, but not after Damien was cut on the leg, his brother beaten till near unconsciousness. As a beam began falling right were Damien's brother sat immobile, Damien jumped in and pulled him away. The next day, their father called them both to the court. Damien's father thanked them for their strength and valor. The king said, "Damien, you have done an extraordinary job caring for this kingdom. You are selfless and passionate. You would make a good king. Maybe, after your brother, you will be." But Damien declined him, saying that he never has and never will want to rule. Damien asked only for one thing from his father. A piece of the cornflower blue tapestry that hung above the throne. His father looked askance, as he had always in the past from Damien's ways. But with gentle understanding, his brother quickly cut a piece from the length with his sharp claws and handed it to his beloved brother. Damien took the piece and tied it around the leg that was cut the day before.
"We are all bound to this kingdom. If it is cut, or shattered, it shall be held tightly by our blood, by our strength, by our hope, by the bones and flesh that keeps it up. Now and forever, the kingdom of the sky will remain."
