In the scorching land of Coriolo, Almeria's thoughts drifted back to the fateful day her family's fate was sealed. The sun beat down relentlessly, casting a golden glow over the desolate landscape. It was a day that would forever be etched in her memory, a day that would change the course of her destiny. The scene unfolded like a tapestry of fate, revealing the harrowing tale of Almeria's capture. Near Ralph Johnson's house, the family sat in solemn discussion, their voices laced with concern and frustration. Ralph, his eyes ablaze with determination, spoke out against King Spartacus's tyrannical rule. Ralph Johnson: "There is insufficient water in this land. I don't understand how a high king like Spartacus can allow us to suffer like that. It is not good what that king is doing to us, a lot of people die of hunger and misery in this land. I can't support that." Sylvia: "Calm down, I know you are feeling uncomfortable with what we are going through. But we should not forget that the king sends his knights around to capture people who speak ruthlessly about him." Almeria: "Dad is correct, mom, we should not stay like that, see how our King is destroying this land. We are dying of hunger, mom. You know that food is rare without talking about water, what a terrible thing." Ralph Johnson walked for a few seconds, his footsteps echoing through the silence. He stopped, his hands clenched into fists, his eyes blazing with determination. Ralph Johnson: "We should do something very fast if we want these problems to end. We cannot just sit and watch our people die." Sylvia: "I know, but we should not forget that the king's knights are always on the lookout for people like us." Almeria: "I am with you, father. We will fight for our rights, no matter the cost." As the family conversed, a group of King Spartacus's knights emerged from the shadows, their swords glinting in the sunlight. Raiser, the leader of the group, sneered at the family. Raiser: "Hey! What a family of fools, are you people not aware that the almighty King Spartacus doesn't want criticism about his way of ruling, or are you new in this land?" Ralph Johnson: "Are you people not tired of destroying this land and making us die of hunger? Look around and see people suffering due to your king's way of ruling." Almeria: "You people, King's watch dogs, and your King are not human beings. So, even if it is by force, we are going to exile or possibly even kill your king." Sylvia: "We are tired of this; we are going to revolt against you people." Raiser turned to the other knights, a sly smile spreading across his face. Raiser: "Have you listened to what those families said? They are going to exile us with our almighty king Spartacus or possibly even kill him. Ha ha ha, what a dream." Raiser raised his sword, the sunlight glinting off the blade. Raiser: "Just forget about killing the king because we have the honor to capture you people and go to the king's palace. So, to avoid violence now, you people should peacefully follow us." Ralph Johnson: "To cut off our heads? Ha ha, let us start our own now before ending in the king's palace." Sylvia: "But you want..." Ralph Johnson: "Yes, even if it is to give my own life, those people are going to liberate our land." Almeria: "No, father, we cannot kill all of them." Ralph Johnson: "Even if I am not fighting, we are going to be tied and have our heads cut off, so let me show them that I am not a tree that only stands and looks without doing anything." The knights charged forward, their swords clashing in a flurry of steel and sparks. Ralph fought valiantly, his fists flying, his determination unwavering. Raiser: "What a fast guy, but it is going to end here." Two knights grabbed Almeria and Sylvia, holding them in a tight grip. Ralph Johnson : "Don't touch my wife and daughter." The knights punched Ralph, their blows raining down on him like a storm. Raiser: "Ha ha ha, what a courageous guy, but now you are on the ground feeling weak." Sylvia: "Don't kill my husband and daughter." Raiser: "We are going to bring you people to our almighty King Spartacus to tie all of you for punishment. Ha ha ha." The family was dragged to the king's palace, their hearts heavy with the weight of their fate. King Spartacus stood before them, his axe at the ready. His eyes gleamed with a malevolent light, and his voice dripped with s******c pleasure. King Spartacus: "So, you dare challenge my authority? You will pay for your treachery with your lives. Prepare to meet your maker!" Ralph Johnson feels very bad and blames himself for the situation they are going through. Ralph Johnson: (speaking in his heart with tears flowing from his eyes) Yes, I am not a good father; I am very foolish. It is my fault if we are here. If I had listened to my wife before. He shakes his hands tied with ropes, shouting. Ralph Johnson: "I am a peashooter who doesn't know how to protect his own family." Everybody looks at him, but Sylvia breaks the silence by responding in a low voice. Sylvia: "No, my warrior, you are not a peashooter, you acted like a good knight who wanted his family to live in peace with all the basic needs of life." King Spartacus: "What are those people saying there?" King Spartacus raises his right hand with the axe to cut off Almeria's head, but to his great surprise, the execution fails. King Spartacus: "What! Her head did not come off?" Everyone is surprised and sees it as a spiritual case, they can't believe what just happened. King Spartacus: "It might be a dream, let me redo the execution." King Spartacus raises his axe for the second time, fixing it at Almeria's head. King Spartacus: "This time is going to be perfect. Go to hell, villain woman." Unfortunately, Almeria's head fails to come off for the second time. Ralph Johnson: (to Sylvia) Are you believing what we are seeing, sweetheart? "To be continued.” Thank you for reading.
