The Epic Tales of Ozymandias

Chapter 0: Prologue

In the beginning, when the human population was still flourishing, there lived a man named Oz Marcuse but later dubbed as Ozymandias, who was born with an extraordinary power known as the Kontroligan Eyes which were from the god of control known as Modikos.

He had stood tall, he had black hair, had a strong build and was handsome himself. He was born in a small peaceful village with loving parents. From a young age he was shown to be a prodigy with extraordinary talent as he was very understanding when it came to conflicts.

"Father, leave the rest to me, I shall settle this dispute peacefully, let me speak with them." Young Ozymandias said.

"Very well my son. Your wisdom is beyond your years." Father said.

His wisdom and his otherwise calm demeanor has earned him the respect of the people of the village.

"Young Ozymandias, your words carry such wisdom, almost of an elder, you will lead us well one day." The villager said.

In that moment, Ozymandias felt he was on the way for a bright future as the bestowed wisdom upon him would become a useful tool to him as he would grow older.

In later years, he eventually fell in love with a woman known as Elysia who works as a healer known for her beauty and kindness.

"Elysia, you are the love of my life, my sacred treasure, will you marry me?" Ozymandias asked, kneeling down towards her.

"Yes Ozymandias...I will...my heart belongs to you." Elysia replied, holding his hand and giving him a kiss.

They eventually got married and had a son named Arion whose hopeful nature mirrored Ozymandias himself.

"Father, will you tell me another story for tonight. Please?" Arion asked.

"Of course my dear son, let me tell you of a story about the time our village united to overcome the storm." Ozymandias replied.

*Fast forward to five more years*

As Ozymandias reached the age of 30, his wisdom and fair judgement led him to become the village leader.

"Ozymandias, we trust you to guide us with your wisdom. Lead us into a prosperous future!" The villager said.

"I will serve all of you with all my heart. Together, we will all thrive!" Ozymandias declared.

Under his guidance, the village flourished and became a symbol of peace and prosperity in the region.

But then, a year later, a mysterious and deadly plague had begun to surface his humble village. Despite his best efforts to control the outbreak with the help of healers, the plague continued to spread rapidly.

"Elysia, we must find a way to stop this. Our people are suffering." Ozymandias said.

"I'm doing all I can right now, but the sickness is relentless. I don't think it won't be going away anytime soon." Elysia replied.

"Father, why are so many people sick?" Arion asked.

"We are facing a great challenge before us Arion. But we must remain strong and united. We cannot let our fear get the better of us." Ozymandias said, placing his hand on his son's shoulder with reassurance.

The villagers, desperate and fearful, have begun to suspect that Ozymandias had somehow brought this curse upon them.

"Why is this happening Ozymandias? Have you angered the gods?" The villager asked, growing fearful.

"I have done nothing but serve this village. We must not lose faith and hope." Ozymandias said.

But what Ozymandias didn't know is that a man named Enyo, a cunning and envious rival from a neighbouring village, seized the opportunity to turn the people against Ozymandias.
