The Golden Sword was created, and a powerful and incredible era was about to begin in the kingdom of Dethus. Well, this is what Arazu imagined, but he didn´t know how wrong that thought was.
When that sword was wielded, it contained an indescribable power that made Arazu a formidable warrior and practically indestructible on the battlefield. But all that power had a big price, and sooner or later, the king had to pay for it.
A powerful king is nothing, without someone who shares with, and Arazu knew this very well. That´s why he wanted to assure his future and the one of his family: His wife Supra and his firstborn, Ezea II, in honor of his father. Arazu understood that to protect his family, he had to strike first, conquer, and kill if necessary.
Ezea II was only 8 years old, but to his father's misfortune, he was a noble and simple boy, totally unlike his father's opulence and arrogance. He did not wish to wield a sword, on the contrary, he wished to study and learn about the world, and that worried Arazu.
Great people with great content!4 years later, not only Deifus belongs to Dethus territory, Arazu made sure to add Celtia and Detia, the twin villages, to his magnificent kingdom from the East, and from the West, the Dethusian army could defeat the defense of the kingdom of Akada, getting and important and powerful land of the region. Arazu was unstoppable.
In the nearby kingdoms, (5 in total) people were afraid of the brutality of Arazu and his warriors. Soldiers who could survive said that the king was like a demigod with a sword that could cut down 100 people with a single attack, and who, without hesitation, killed those who crossed his path.
Arazu was living a great moment. After two years, Deithus was the most respectable of all kingdoms, it was feared. The king increased twice the size of his reign in 6 years. Now to celebrate And now to celebrate the 14th birthday of Ezea II, Arazu would give a great party in honor of his son, where he would invite the regents of the 5 kingdoms, and demonstrate all his power, what the king did not know is that an unwanted guest would attend the party.
The party was scheduled to start in two weeks, the same time the reign of Arazu, was going to disappear, in a painful and horrible way....
Nothing else matters but his son´s celebration. Ezea was beloved by his parents, in their own way. Supra was a kind woman, so smart, and liked to teach Ezea about science, geography, history, and astronomy. Arazu on the other hand was a complicated instructor in the art of battle. His desire to make Ezea a great warrior blinded him to the obvious reality: his son was not cut out for the life his bloodthirsty father had lived.
Ezea was ashamed that he was not the warrior his father desired, but he feared him so much that he would never tell him that his place was not on the battlefield. The prince preferred to discover the world, without harming anything or anyone he was a peaceful kid, with a big heart. But things can change quickly, and his birthday was just the beginning of the downfall and tragedy of the biggest kingdom ever...
