The King Of Adventure

Long ago, Far far away: deep in the valley, among other kingdoms lived a human kingdom Which ruled over all the seven kingdoms named Gardenia; the most beautiful kingdom you've ever seen. Gardenia was blessed with so many things: its large population and vast territory, a kind, and brave emperor. Even though the kingdom was not the only kingdom in the valley, it was the most powerful; the inhabitants were mere humans and the other kingdoms were kingdoms with magic and a lot of mystical creatures, but they were no match for Gardenia because in it, lies the heart of the valley: the magic which protects the seven kingdom in the valley. The emperor of Gardenia had two sons prince Cedric and his elder brother prince Zalzard, although they both excel in all aspects, but they were different as night and day. The people of Gardenia for thousands of years had been living in peace and harmony; until one day, the emperor had taken ill and the whole kingdom was terrified of what might befall their beloved emperor. Knowing it was time for his departure, the emperor thought about who was fit to be the ruler of his people between his two sons, who have now grown into fine young men: one was with a kind heart and the other was with a heart filled with darkness. Having recognized the evil that was in the heart of his oldest son, he decided that his youngest son, Prince Cedric, was fit to be the next emperor. Not knowing about their father’s decision, the two princes set out on a journey across the valley, and due to the kindness in the heart of the young prince and his great valor, the sea goddess engraved on his heart the mark of the sea and also bestowed onto him her daughter, princess Aria. The oldest son on learning of their father’s decision grew with hatred in his heart for his brother who was also devastated about their father's decision for he loved his brother dearly, and he knew ruling a kingdom meant greater responsibilities. The hatred the prince had for his brother continued to grow when he found out about his brother’s marriage with the sea princess, for the princess was indeed the most beautiful woman in the whole valley. The prince never knew his brother hated him, for Zalzard was a very cunning man he had pretended as though he loved his brother, but he was actually waiting for the right moment to annihilate him. The emperor soon died, and prince Cedric ascended the throne and was to be the keeper and controller of the heart of the valley because, without the heart, the valley would fall into Chaos. Few years later, the empress gave birth to a little girl and the inhabitants of Gardenia were overjoyed for great things were happening in Gardenia once again, the entire valley fell into celebration over the birth of the little princess who was named Zzetania for she had received the blessings of the seven kingdoms. Princess Zzetania was adored by everyone for she was also beautiful like her mother, and because of this, the oldest prince full of envy and hatred decided to consult a dark wizard who offered to grant him powers beyond his imagination if he agrees to set him free from his b*****e, not knowing the dark wizard had other plans, Prince Zalzard agreed, and after being set free, the dark wizard bounded his soul with the prince’s, took his form and gave him that of a hideous monster who could only survive by feeding on souls of the kind-hearted. Zalzard soon became completely part of the dark wizard and under the dark wizard control, he began to spread his dark magic throughout the whole valley. The kingdoms soon fell into chaos: people were killed, taken as slaves by Zalzard, and on getting wind of his brother atrocious activities, the emperor consulted the sea-goddess who granted him the magical sword of adventure: a sword filled with the magic of the seven kingdoms, and only it, has the power to destroy the bounded soul and seal the dark wizard again. The emperor was devastated for he loved his brother dearly, but seeing how the black magic was spreading, he made his decision and the war began. For years, the war continued until one day, the emperor received a proposal of peace from his brother, and not knowing Zalzard had another mission; he wanted the sword and the heart for himself, the emperor agreed to the ceasefire. The evil prince came to his brother and took away the heart with deceit, but unbeknownst to him, only the one that the sword had been bestowed onto can control it. And finding out this, Zalzard was enraged, and he vowed to take revenge on his brother and with all cost get the ultimate power of the heart of the valley. The emperor soon realized all was lost, he then entrusted his trusted friend to protect his family and leave Gardenia. Zalzard found out about this, and ordered for them to be killed, for his brother had lost, and he was weak without the heart. The emperor's friend fought greatly, but he was defeated not without making sure the empress along with the empress dowager and princess had escaped, but the empress was seriously injured and could no longer make it, so she entrusted the princess to the empress dowager and passed all her powers to the princess and told her to take the princess to the sea goddess. The empress dowager took the princess and threw her into the sea, then Zalzard arrived and murdered the empress and his mother. The emperor in b*****e used the last of his powers to save his friend and entrusted to him the magical sword, asking him to safeguard it because someone will come for it, one who will fight Zalzard and break the bounded souls and save the people. Zalzard could not kill the emperor because of the heart, so he locked him up in the deepest dungeon in the valley where no one knows, never for him to be seen again. But one day, as it has been foretold, a chosen one will arise as THE KING OF ADVENTURE, release the emperor and restore the heart of the valley.
