As soldiers aligned in front of the gigantic castle, the commander gave a loud welcome to them. Hyperion whom is a new member of the army stood up in confidence under the hot burning sun. From his friend’s and family’s perspective Hyperion is a kind hearted man who loves to help people and he is a very fit and muscular man, perfect to work as a militant. Wearing the special black and blue outfit gave him a sense of pride and honor. Being in the army has always been his dream. 

Zor-El, whom is the King of Avres is a prideful and generous King, had just arrived in front of them, giving them a good encouraging speech to motivate them towards completing their duties. The king looked closely into each and every new member of the army. As he saw Hyperion, the King was pleased of what he was looking at, hoping he would be a brave soldier one day. The commander even gave the king a special performance of how strong and how worthy each new member is. The king saw each member of the army and his face wasn't too pleased, until he saw Hyperion. Hyperion was able to present himself the best, demonstrating different skills. He was able to lift more and he was faster than anyone else giving the King a pleased look. He will surely keep an eye on him.

As the King came into his gigantic castle, he saw Zar-El who is the King’s younger brother who had helped him through difficult times in the past and helped him become King. He had an unusual look while holding the King’s warm tea. The King didn’t know what was going on so he decided to just receive the tea hoping it was a gift of some sort to welcome him back after giving a good speech. Suddenly as he took a sip of the drink, he felt dizzy and a slight of nausea, causing him to be in a deep sleep. As he was fainting to the ground, Zar-El proudly said,

 “I have been by your side for a long time and you or no other man has ever give me credit for all I’ve been through to make you King, now I shall rule Avres without you in my way!” 

There was a servant who saw this tragedy and soon he realized that there was much more to this. This servant was very trustworthy to the King so he had no intention to help Zar-El. Zar-El soon created false information on what happened to the King. He announced to everyone that the King was found dead on his bed. A man asked if there was going to be a funeral but Zar-El denied and said that the funeral was forbidden and no man can come. The people were frustrated and they were all very sad hearing this news, some even cried. The almighty priest soon crowned Zar-El as the new King of Avres and everyone had no choice but to accept that Zar-El was the new King that ruled this magnificent land.

Less than 2 months and this wonderful country became a dreadful and awful land. No man was free and everything they do had laws. The money being earned by the people for their jobs were no more than a price for a slice of bread. Their food, drinks and activities had limits. They were living in a dictating land, no more democracy. The King insisted that the land should be peaceful and quiet and if a single man denies his laws then he shall be executed. Everyone was scared, and everyone was hoping that there is going to be a miracle that is going to save everyone and stop this monstrous king from ruling. 

The servant quietly escaped from the castle and no other servant or even the king knew that he left. The servant hated for what the new King had done to the land and was hoping to stop him, but he wasn't going to do it alone. He remembered seeing Hyperion who the King admired looking at and knew that he will definitely help him to stop the King. He rushed as fast as a cheetah to find Hyperion in the military base. He went to each camp boot finding his name and as soon as he found him, Hyperion wasn't as glad as the last time he saw him and as soon as he came he asked why. At first Hyperion didn't know who this man is and didn't know what was he intending to do. As the servant explained on what happened Hyperion soon felt that he must help him on his journey to stop Zar-El on ruling this country and turning it into a complete disaster. 

The servant knew every single room and every single corner of the castle. He also saw where Zar-El kept the king. He was in the tallest tower of the castle located at the far end of the castle’s huge beautiful garden. Knowing that guards will block their way in, they knew they needed a plan. The servant realizes that another problem had occurred. The king is not a stupid man, he might knew that he is missing from the castle and he might find someone to stop them. The servant knew that he couldn't stay long out of the castle and must come back so the king wouldn't be suspicious of what he is intending to do. The servant told him the plan and it will start that midnight.

As he soon arrives to the castle, nothing went wrong at first. No one looked at him in suspicious as he came in the castle. His face was very worried. He knew that something wrong was about to happen but as nothing went wrong. Suddenly as he was heading towards his room he saw Zar-El standing with 2 guards beside him. 

“I know what you are trying to do, one of my guards followed you and heard what you said and to who you said it.”

This made the servant desperate for help.

“What are you going to do to me?”

“I will make you sleep and never wake up anymore.”

At that moment forward, the servant was killed by the hands of Zar-El and his body was thrown away and never to be seen. Hyperion was soon worried because he knew that it was midnight precisely and that he knew that something is wrong. He remembered where the place was. He braves himself and decided to take on the mission without him. He went through the secret tunnel under the garden where it leads up precisely in front of the garden tower where he saw 4 guards standing stiff and tall being ready for anything. 

He did not know how to distract them but he knew that he is a very intelligent person so he has to find out a way. He saw an antique car that looks very old but very rare. He took some spare parts out to construct something that would make sound. He succeeded and all the guards ran towards him, he then hid and went into the tunnel again. Knowing it was safe, Hyperion went inside and up to the tower. He saw the king laying down, awake but doing nothing. The King was pleased as he saw Hyperion saving his life and Hyperion soon ran outside of the tower and out of the way of the guards. Getting the king back to rule the kingdom would be impossible, they don’t know a single way to turn things around here. But the story doesn’t end here. No, its far from over because its only the beginning.
