The Legend of Parish

The Return of the king

" What a pain all this was, I thought to myself as I saw my children's bodies being freed from their heads, my wife being taken away. She is probably going to live the rest of her life as a slave. I wish I could save them.. My people, my family, would this have happened if I decided to fight for my people, if only I had not desired peace, if only I had had the courage to fight for my people that day, well it doesn't matter. My only regret is that I couldn't save my people. I am sorry, father, I couldn't fulfill your wish. I wish my people, the innocent will have a good afterlife although I made mistakes in my life, that day I really regret it, Ahh I can feel the light fading, the pain it's gone it just feels numb now, I never expected the great kingdom of parish to fall like this," Suddenly the necklace that Mersiele wore shined bright and broke an eye piercing light had been emitted from the necklace that blinded everyone in the room and Mersiele the 5th king of Parish had finally died.

5 Years ago , there existed 5 kingdoms in the continent of 'Bolstia' :The kingdom of the proud blacksmiths 'Yokin' ,The kingdom of the powerful swordsmen 'Taria' ,The holy kingdom of the god of life leria 'Vian' ,The kingdom of money and market 'Wilheim' and the peaceful and the most powerful kingdom of all The great kingdom of 'Parish' .These kingdoms have existed for more than 200 years and have attained their titles through their deeds though the great kingdom of Parish was the only one where the people treated their king as their god and their king treated his people as his own family. The kingdom of Parish was started by a man named Rodrigo Parish, a leader ,a friend and most importantly a Hero, a hero who saved his people from famine and war, a man who taught them how to survive ,and his legacy has ever since been passed through the royal bloodline of Parish ,that was till 5 years ago when the 4 kingdoms of Taria ,Vian and Wilheim thought that Parish had held the title of the 'strongest' for far too long and decided to make a coalition in order to destroy the kingdom of Parish.

The coalition was not only made because Parish had held the title of the strongest for far too long, but also because it was at its weakest after the 5th king of Parish, Mersiele Parish, at the age of 16, had to rise as the king of Parish after his father had died of 'unknown cause'. Since there is no place in the world where greed didn't exist, even in the great kingdom of Parish, the nobility took advantage of the king, depressed by the death of his father, and drove the kingdom of Parish to its downfall for their own greedy purposes. Current day Parish, after surviving the war for over 2 years between the 3 kingdoms, has finally fallen and its king gone ,is what all thought

"Where am I... a bed was I saved by someone', Mersiele said as he got up from the huge bed in a beautiful room befitting a king "Did someone from the nobility saved me? As far as I know, no one from the nobility was with me. Did someone from the holy kingdom save me?" Mersiele looked around the room and heard someone's footsteps. He panicked and pretended to be asleep in bed. "Mersiele wake up already!! the sun is up till when will you sleep its time for you to wake up" upon hearing the familiar voice, Mersiele woke up in a panic and saw his mother who was supposed to be dead still alive and well a tear ran through his face followed by several more as he ran towards his mother hugging her as hard as he could "What happened Mersiele a-a-are you alright did something scare you did you have a scary dream" "Yes, a-a r-r-really scary dream' He said while sobbing "There, there I am here now everything is alright' 'Is my life flashing before my eyes?' Mersiele thought to himself.

Mersiele went downstairs to the dining room, where his father waited for him. "What happened, my boy? Why did you come so late today?" "I had a bad dream father," he replied. "Isn't this too much for just a short time before me dying? This is too real. Have I been reborn? Let's not think about that right now. Right now I just want to enjoy this time to myself," Mersiele thought to himself. While having lunch, Mersiele's father spoke " Ready for the big day boy. Today is the founding anniversary of our kingdom" Mersiele spoke nothing. He only thought "Founding anniversary? The last time it happened was when I was 13. Isn't this too real? Wait!! Did I by any chance', Mersiele stood up in a panic, sweat on his face and said in a panicked voice, 'I have been reincarnated".
