Not Logical

((Just letting you know that the concept of taming comes from a game called OneShot, and it's basically how a robot slowly becomes sapient from interacting with humans.

This has been another PSA by Your Friendly Neighborhood Lavender. ;)))

Prologue
There once was a troublesome beast who went by the name of Malise.

He was masterful in causing trouble and chaos, and terrorized the medieval kingdom of Arcania.

Many tried to stop him, but due to the crystal hanging around his neck, he was too powerful to be stopped.

One day, however, he came across a legend that predicted the distant future.

It told of a cloaked prince who would usher in an age of goodness along with his friends, and in their presence, the beast would not survive.

Enraged, Malise used the crystal to rewrite the legend, making it say that the cloaked prince and his friends would usher in an age of despair, and lay waste to Arcania and its inhabitants.

Centuries passed, and everyone who knew about the legend soon forgot about it.

One day, however, a curious Arcanian discovered the altered legend, and was horrified with its contents.

He tried to warn the rest of Arcania about this legend, but, in the end, only got his friends and a handful of other people to believe it.

Cutting themselves off from the rest of the world, the Arcanians renamed themselves Mystic Engineers after their leader's genius in building and fixing things, and began to believe that the other Arcanians were nuts for not believing the legend.

It was here that Malise found them, having calmed down over the centuries and deciding to cause havoc in more subtle ways, like through deception and sabotage, for example.

He, too, had forgotten about the legend and his alterations to it, but when he heard about the paranoid Mystic Engineers and rediscovered the legend, he came up with an idea.

Disguising himself as a humble tailor, he integrated into the Mystic Engineers' community and slowly but surely convinced them that the Arcanians were going to go to war with them over their beliefs.

This caused the Mystic Engineers to make the first move in igniting a war with them and the Arcanians, with them thinking that the Arcanians have already made the first move.

Malise was front and center in this war, and he also seemingly died in it, causing the Mystic Engineers to see him as a martyr and hero.

Little did they know that Malise had only shed his human disguise and laid low after his seeming death, with him causing trouble and chaos in subtle ways in the centuries to come.

As for the Mystic Engineers, this war only drove a deeper wedge in between them and the Arcanians, and they were banished to the Forbidden Forest, which was filled with dangerous magic that no Arcanian had dared use or come into contact with before.

Naturally, the Mystic Engineers slowly but steadily mastered this magic, and used it to make their very own civilization.

It is now 2040.

The Mystic Engineers and Arcanians have developed their own cultures and identities at this point, though their hatred toward each other has still remained.

The Mystic Engineers have also made the first robots who can grow sapient through taming, though they're usually used as war machines against the Arcanians.

Now, with all of that information, our story can begin.
