In the kingdom of Taras, everyone lives with a prophecy. The fortunate call it a gift, the unfortunate a burden. You are the youngest child of House Rauz, a powerful noble family only a tier beneath the king. Shortly after your thirteenth birthday, you travel to the capital with your family with a distressing, newly minted prophecy scrawled out across your skin.
Soon enough, you find that you have other, equally pressing concerns; a key purpose of your visit is to place you at the side of Lux, the younger, more favored child of King Caius. When Lux gets a prophecy, it seems even more damning than yours.
Can you save Lux before it’s too late, or will you both go down the wrong road together? And can you solve your own prophecy? Only the years ahead will tell.
Romance
Note: The Brightest Stars is a single RO game, with a mandatory romance path. This is necessary for the plot.
Lux zi’il Aurym (M/F)
Lux is the favorite child of the king, though they’re a legitimized bastard. They’re charming, passionate, and proud to a fault. There’s a darkness lurking in them, a corruption that could rot and fester, but there’s kindness, too, ripe for fostering. Maybe, with your help, one side can win out?
Lux is tall and lean, with light brown skin and curly black hair. They have bright green eyes, with a mole under their left eye, and a delicate, slender face. Both Male and Female Lux grow to be exceedingly beautiful in adulthood. Female Lux is the same height as Male Lux.

Note
After originally deleting The Brightest Stars due to severe mental health issues and losing my entire outline, which devastated me, I’m back to writing it. I had to make a new thread for it due to my old account being deleted.
Thank you my friend! I can’t wait to write more and really dig into the game again.
Thank you! My mental health seriously held me back last time, as well as the loss of my outline, not to vent. This time, I’m confident that things will go better.
Yep, it’s back! It means a lot to me that my work has such a special place in your heart! I’m glad to have made you happy <3
Thank you, I’m glad to be back! I’m actually so frustrated about this bug omg, the demo literally passed both randomtest and quicktest . I’ll get to working on fixing it!
THANK YOU!!! It’s good to be back. It means so much to me that you find the world beautiful <3
Thanks for your mind words, I’m also glad to be back! I’ve missed this project so much.
Now that my head is screwed on right, I have no plans of abandoning this game! Thank you for your well wishes. My new medication has been helping with my health, let’s hope that continues to work.
I’m enjoying the setting’s vibe (for lack of a better word ), and the dynamic with the MC’s family. Gruff but loving father is a great way to tug at my heartstrings.
Very interested to see how things play out with Lux as well. Telling a story with a single RO has real potential, and it’s not something I’ve really seen that much of.
