Chapter 1: Prologue - Things You Don't Know about Survivors

Chapter Text

Survivors have a penchant for running away. 

Survivors obey safety regulations.

Survivors rise up to the challenge.

And of course, survivors do one thing best: Survive. 

You might be wondering, maybe something like “ What the heck happened while I was away? I thought the League of Princes saved everyone and they had a Happily Ever After!” 

This is partly true, because after our heroes got everything they'd wanted and a life they enjoyed, it did really seem like a happily ever after for our Princes Charming!

And yet, our beloved heroes turn into “survivors". Liam, Frederic, Duncan, and Gustav didn't know what they would be in for just a short few months after the event of our last book. They didn't even know there'd be an apocalypse! Oops, I mean I guess that's not really a spoiler, you did read the title, right? (Go back and check if you haven't, easy mistake to make.) If we're really spoiling stuff, I could tell you all about how Liam ends up pitifully lost surrounded by zombies with no weapon, or if we peek even further ahead I could tell you about the mishap with Briar, Frederic, torn suits and hanging from a golden chandelier. 

But let's get back on track. Let's go back and figure out how this whole mess started in the first place, and to do that, we're gonna have to go back to Sylvaria.
