Story

Background

Prince Peregrine was born into the Alari kingdom, which is infected by zombie-like monsters that eat and tear others apart. Peregrine always stayed indoors due to this reason. He feared if he traveled too far from the kingdom, he would be taken away from his family or killed. He grew up with his two older sisters, who loved him dearly. He was a mama’s boy as well and always stayed close to his mother, Estelle for comfort. Peregrine spent most of his days reading or following his mother around. Peregrine had a good relationship with all of his family members, except for his father, King Flint. Flint was very neglectful and put a lot of pressure on Peregrine for being an heir, despite Peregrine not showing much interest in wanting to be a king. Their relationship grew worse when Peregrine would watch Estelle and Flint argue when he would pretend to be asleep. One night after an argument with Flint, Peregrine ran away from the kingdom.
