About this Event
In the ancient kingdom of Seredore, a vast realm known for its sprawling landscapes and towering castles, there lived a king whose bravery was sung across the lands. GarcĂa III, the Iron-hearted, had ruled for nearly three decades. Under his reign, Seredore flourished, expanding its borders and establishing peace with neighboring territories. Despite the king's achievements, there was one quest that had haunted him since his youth, a quest that had gone unfinished—until now.

GarcĂa had been born into royalty, the youngest of three sons. His father, King GarcĂa II, was a stern man who valued strength and wisdom above all. To ensure his sons were worthy of inheriting the crown, he set them on separate paths to prove their worth. The eldest, Alfonso, was sent to the east to form alliances with distant lands. The middle son, Julian, ventured south to defend the realm against marauding invaders. Young GarcĂa, who had always been the most adventurous, was tasked with finding the lost city of Arboles, a mythical land said to hold a secret capable of granting eternal prosperity to its people.
For years, GarcĂa searched for the city, accompanied by his most trusted knights. They crossed treacherous mountains, navigated dark forests, and sailed through stormy seas, but Arboles remained elusive. Many of his men fell to the perils of the journey, but GarcĂa pressed on. Eventually, after five years of searching, he returned to Seredore empty-handed and broken. His father, disappointed, declared Julian the rightful heir to the throne.
However, fate had other plans. Julian perished in battle, and Alfonso succumbed to illness, leaving the crown to GarcĂa. Though he ruled with wisdom and strength, the failure to find Arboles weighed heavily on him, a shadow that darkened even his greatest triumphs.
Now, at the age of fifty, King GarcĂa felt the end of his reign drawing near. His once-black hair had turned silver, and the battles he once fought with ease now left him breathless. Yet, as the autumn leaves began to fall, a strange sense of restlessness filled his heart. The dream of Arboles returned, more vivid than ever before. In his visions, he saw towering trees with golden leaves, and at the heart of the city, a great fountain from which flowed water that shimmered like starlight. The legend claimed that whoever drank from this fountain would be granted not just eternal life, but the wisdom to rule for centuries.
Determined to finish the quest that had haunted him for so long, GarcĂa summoned his old companion, Sir Roland, the last of the knights who had once ridden beside him in search of Arboles. Though his body was weary, Roland’s spirit was as strong as ever, and he agreed to accompany the king on one final journey.
They set off quietly at dawn, disguised as common travelers. It was a far cry from the grand expeditions of GarcĂa’s youth, when entire battalions had marched at his command. Now, there were only two horses, two old men, and the fading hope of a legend. They traveled for days, passing through towns that GarcĂa had once ruled, but which now hardly recognized their king. The people had grown used to peace and prosperity, and GarcĂa was just another face among the crowds.
As they ventured deeper into the wilds, they reached the edge of the Whispering Forest, a place known for its eerie silence and the strange voices carried on the wind. It was here, according to ancient maps, that the path to Arboles began.
"Do you think it’s real?" Roland asked, gazing at the mist that curled between the trees.
"I don’t know," GarcĂa replied, "but I must see it for myself."
For days they wandered the forest, following the faintest traces of a forgotten road. At night, GarcĂa was haunted by dreams of his father, who seemed to taunt him for his failures. In his dreams, the old king’s voice echoed through the trees, calling him unworthy. But still, GarcĂa pressed on, driven not by glory or power, but by the need to finally complete what he had started so long ago.
One evening, as the sun set behind the hills, they reached a clearing. Before them stood a great archway, carved from stone, covered in ancient runes. Beyond it lay a city, silent and untouched by time. Arboles.
GarcĂa could hardly believe his eyes. The city was just as the legends had described—majestic and grand, its buildings woven seamlessly into the towering trees that filled the landscape. At its center stood the fountain, its waters glowing faintly in the twilight.
The two men approached it cautiously, and GarcĂa knelt before the fountain, dipping his hand into the water. It was cool and refreshing, and for a moment, he felt a strange energy course through his body. But as he raised the water to his lips, he hesitated.
"To drink from this fountain is to bind yourself to it," a voice said. GarcĂa turned to see a figure standing beside the fountain—a woman, her hair golden like the leaves of the trees, her eyes as ancient as the stars.
"You will live forever, but the price is heavy. You will watch the world change, kingdoms rise and fall, while you remain unchanged. Do you wish for such a fate?"
GarcĂa thought of his father, his brothers, and all those who had come before him. He thought of the people of Seredore, the kingdom he had ruled and loved. And he realized that his journey had not been about finding eternal life, but about letting go of the past.
With a heavy heart, GarcĂa rose and turned away from the fountain. "No," he said, "I do not."
As the two old friends left the city of Arboles behind, the mist began to close in, and the city faded from view. GarcĂa III had found what he had been searching for—not a mythical city, but peace.
