episode 2

In another corner of this dark night, on the edge of this thick and terrible forest, the lights of the royal palaces of Alistina Empire are trying hard to cut through the darkness and illuminate every corner of the royal palace. King Oliver is walking along the highest room of the highest minaret of the royal palace.  Even though the night  is now deep, there is no sleep in his eyes.

The reason for not sleeping is a boy.  A very ordinary poor household may be 18 or 19 years old.  But he wanted to catch the moon. Even though he is young, he is as brave as a lion.  The king himself cannot help but admire his courage.

But the king cannot allow the honor of this empire built by his family and  his so much effort and hard work to crumble to the ground.  He will not allow this .

King Oliver can't accept that a carpenter's son seduces his daughter and takes her away . That's why the whole family has to end behind the darkness of the night. Nobody will know why the family vanished. Hahahaha -The king burst out laughing as he accomplished some great thing .

   But how did that boy with so many sword wounds manage to kill three soldiers and escape?  The king could not accept that his soldiers were becoming weak and lazy day by day. 

Even after sending so many soldiers to find an injured baby boy, why did no one take the news?  No, this cannot be accepted at all.  Meanwhile, the night was ending and dawn was going on .

After a while, General Lucas appeared before the king with his large  but muscular  body. Excuse me my king , all the houses in the city have been searched but the boy is nowhere to be found. Maybe it's hidden somewhere in the Death Forest. But excuse us, Your Majesty the soldiers don’t want to enter the jungle at night.  You know, Your Majesty, it's impossible to get out of that jungle alive.

King Oliver's face became hard in anger, but he only told the commander to be careful not to let anything get out of hand.  And the princess stopped going out of the house for a few days.  you can go now.

In another room of that palace, Princess Olivia is sleeping peacefully.   Busy dreaming of an unknown prince in a deep sleep, clutching a pass pillow on a soft velvet bed. The princess could not even know why a wretch had lost everything in the darkness of this night without her knowledge.  He lost his father who gave food to his family with much trouble, he lost his mother who put his hand on his head and put him to sleep, he lost his beloved little sister, he lost the only house in this world where his head is raised.  

Maybe the boy also does not know why he has to suffer . why the imperial soldiers suddenly came to his house and destroyed everything and killed his parents  . 

The Morning arise :-

When the boy  opened his eyes he saw he was lying down on a big rock under a big and  unknown  tree . The tree leaves are almost 1 feet long and a mysterious scent  is coming from its small white  but very beautiful flowers . And every branch has so many flowers that the branches are all covered with flowers. If the leaves were not that big maybe the leaves could not not be seen from the ground .  And the tree has a very comfortable shade . on the other part of the big rock is soaking in a very  gentle crystal clear  river stream . 

He feels his body doesn't hurt any more like all his wounds have already healed with his last sleep . At first he thought last night's crisis was just his imagination and nothing actually happened  . But the fact he can’t deny that he is middle in the forest . But then how will all his wounds heal ? Is it magic or does God give him a second chance to live? - 

The boy doesn't want to think about anything from last night . But his father’s that strong face even though a sword was hanging from his back and still trying to fight back with soldiers and his mother and sister’s scared to death face . The fire on his house burned out his family’s many undeclared dreams , Again and again displays on his mind . 

The boy tries to remember the crime they committed to face this horrible tragedy . but he failed to remember anything . 

Even though they were poor, they were very kind and helpful to the neighbors . His father always  helps others whenever someone asks for help . then why the soldiers said they had committed a crime that the King personally asked them to eradicate from the earth . He could not remember all the words from the soldiers . but he can remember things other than all the action . One is the King personally asked to kill his family and the other is he tries to kidnap the princess . but the boy never met the princess before and he does not even know what  the princess looks like . 

The boy does not want to stand although his belly screams of hunger . Although his nature is adventurous and curious, he doesn't care how his wound got healed .
