In an empty space with heavy rain, only footsteps can be heard.

A woman is hurriedly running,


trying to find light in the darkness. Only the light from the torches hanging on the walls guided her. Her
footsteps echoed in the hallway, and her heart beat so fast and as loud as the thunder. The group of men
run fast to chase her, and as the lights flash from the thunder, a glimpse of a child's face can be seen
from her grip.

The air was thick with the stench of rotting food and waste, a sickening aroma that seemed to
cling to everything it touched. Flies buzzed lazily around the pigsty, there was a sense of overwhelming
stillness, an earie melody vibrates to the room. The sound of a whip cracking in the air vibrating through
the bones and skin of anyone within earshot. With flick of the wrist, the whip cracked through the air,
lashing across the boy's back with a sickening thwack, whip lashed out again and again the pain was
instant and overwhelming, leaving a searing agony that made it hard to breathe or even think. The pain
comes seconds later, It’s sharp and sudden, like a thunderbolt striking the earth. He couldn't bring
himself to move, couldn't even muster the strength to beg for mercy. With each lash of the whip, the boy
felt his spirit breaking, felt the hopelessness and despair closing in around him.

Armaros tried to kill his foster father with an axe one night after he had enough of his abuse. He
hid and ran away in the forest towards the other town as the whole people in his village hunted him
down for attempted murder. While he was hiding he crossed path with the King’s most trusted warrior,
his bloody feet and dirty face a body made the warrior took pity of the boy and hid him to his chamber
in the palace while giving him food and water only at night.

He then decided to flee and part ways with his foster father in order to get out of the difficult
situation he had been through. He wait for the right moment to take an action and run away. He is
positive that he can make it at the end of the day even if he had no idea where he was going. Even
though he get tired, those negative experiences give him the energy to get up and carry on his search for
his real father.

After long wait of searching, Armaros finally saw his father with the help of his father’s most
trusted servant. During her lifetime stay at the kingdom, he does martial arts because his father want
him to become ready and for Armaros to have a self-protection. Armaros crowned as the Prince of their
palace because his father does not have any offspring aside from him and he has been a great leader in
his subordinates. 10 years after his father crowned him as a prince, his father died due to severe illness.
But, before his father died, he wrote a letter of will in which all of his father’s belongings belongs now to
Armaros and he will be crowned as the New king. Armaros couldn’t accept that his father passed away
after that, still he accepted the crown.
