Long ago, on the faraway continent of Marcia, there was once a kingdom called Avonland. Avon was their forest god who helped them built this kingdomand so it was named after her. It was the kingdom known for its peace, justice, and harmony. The kingdom became the epitome of hope and freedom. It was a symbol of joy and happiness. People there lived in harmony and peace. There was plenty of food and an abundance of fresh water. The lands were fertile, and the rivers were full of fish. People there were mostly farmers and fishermen and lived off their natural resources.
They would grow plenty of crops throughout the wide open fields that received the best daylight. And would cultivate it twice once before winter and once, during spring. It was a lovely climate all throughout the year.
The land was filled with greenery with lots of trees and grasslands. People there respected their nature and were loved by the forest Goddess Abnoba. There were plenty of games and lots of food. There was plenty of sunlight and never-ending joy. The people were living a simple and happy life and thriving in that region. They lived under the guidance of their wise and kind king Promeli and their kind queen, Madame Elizabeth.
When King Promeli was just a boy, he once went to Heinzenworth for a friendly visit. It is a distant coast down at the eastern ocean.There in one beautiful day he met young Elizabeth, who was a princess during that time. Her father had been a royal ally to King Promeli and his father. And the king of Heinzenworth called King Promeli to celebrate the occasion of harvest.
Everyone was celebrating the harvest, but it soon turned into disaster as the King of Heinzenworth got sick. One day, the king of Heinzenworth called upon King Promeli and asked him to fulfil his dying wish.
What your wish, king? "asked King Promeli.
I am dying, my lord! MY daughter is still a maiden.Marry her,make her your queen. This is a fathers last wish. King Promeli didn't want to marry someone whom he didn't even know. But the situation escalated quickly, and his magistrates advised him to marry her, and in return, these two kingdoms could be united as one. And so the King and the princess reluctantly accepted their fate. Not long after the king died, King Promeli and Madame Elizabeth got married inside the Royal Castle Bridge.
They didn't know each other at first ,but as time went by, they got to know each other. They grew closer to each other and eventually fell in love. Three years after their marriage, they had one son called Alan. The couple lived happily with their son, prince Alan of Avon Land. But their happiness was about to fade. Madame Elizabeth had a habit of drinking nectars from flowers,Ā as she grew them on her garden. One day, while picking flowers, Madame Elizabeth accidentally consumed a wild flower, which she thought had nectar in it. Madame Elizabeth got sick after she consumed this wildflower. Her body was full of reddish-brown rashes, and her weight began to fall drastically. No one in the entire kingdom could find the cure to her illness. This made King and his subjects very sad. So the king sent his words among other kingdoms, declaring whoever finds a cure and treats his queen, Madame Elizabeth will be rewarded handsomely. Following the news, many physicians from all over the realm of men came in to find cure , but they were unsuccessful. It appeared thatĀ all hopes were in vain when a sudden cure appeared.
One night, there came an old ogre. He said he had the power to cure the Queen. But in exchange for his help, the king would need toĀ sacrifice 9 newly born children and give their blood to him. But the king would never allow such a thing to happen even if it costs his queen's life.
The wise king Prometheus replied, "Lady, this is a kingdom of peace, I can't slaughter my subjects. Ask me something else, gold, silver, anything.
The ogre got angry with the king's decision and threatened that if the king did not listen to him, darkness would soon follow and destroy the peace and happiness of this majestic kingdom.
To which the wise King replied bravely, "I would happily give up my life for this kingdom and its happiness no matter what the cost. I won't allow any injustice or wring doings to my people. Leave the palace and this kingdom at once, or you will be removed.
Being angry with the words of the king, the ogre left the kingdom. Unfortunately for the king and the young prince, Madame Elizabeth could not recover, slowly and slowly she became bedridden to a point that she stopped talking or taking any food. After fighting long, she died a few days before the harvesting season. Sadness fell upon the kingdom. The kingdom lost its joy, but it was only the beginning of their destruction. The night grew longer and longer, and winter broke.
The cold breeze and the snow destroyed the cropland. The farmers were unable to grow any crops, and soon, there was a shortage of food and crops. People were becoming sick and weak. The wall that protected Avon's land grew weak with every passing day. The King sent his best knights to repair the wall and offered sacrifices to the goddess Avon. But it was of no use.
One night, there was a loud warning bell that was heard from across the kingdom. There was an army led by the ogres that was marching towards their kingdom. The ogres had built an army of deadly monsters andĀ creatures from the otherworld, which lies beyond the dark forest . And they came to destroy the kingdom of peace and harmony. These creatures were given magical powers by the ogres, and they were stronger than the wind and fierce as the fire. The ordinary men were no match compared to their opposition, and many fine people were killed. Some of the women and children were held captive while some were eaten alive. The magistrates advised the King to run away with his son, but the king refused.Ā He said, "What kind of a kind i would be i i don't shed blood for my people,Ā for my home." King Prometheus wielded his armour and asked the loyal priest and wizard Behek to take Alan away. Alan didn't want to leave, but the king forced him to run away. The king stood his ground, and after saving as much people, as he could. He sent a few soldiers to take them away from the Kingdom. The hour was late, and the battle was fierce. Most of the subjects, including the wise king Prometheus, were killed in the battle. The brave men of avonland laid their body to protect the glory and the lives of those innocent people.
The royal priest and wizard, who was the chief advisor of the king, took Alan away to a distant coast. But Alan could not forget such a horrific scene. The young prince had to bear witness of the murder and slaughter of his father and the destruction of his entire kingdom. The wizard, Behek was afraid that he might not be able to save Alan so he took on the duty to guide the young prince so that one day he grows strong and takes revenge on the man that did this to him and his people. And so an epic journey began.
