The sun was rising once again in Astinrok. This was very special day for the the royal family. Today was the day in which Astinrok will meet it's new king.

Balyk is the youngest of three brothers in the royal family. While walking around the castle with his bigger brother - Narad, a whispering voices talking about the new king got their attention. It looked like the citizens already knew that the oldest brother - Kireb was going to be the next king of Astinrok.

Bakly noticed that Narad was acting strange
- Is something bothering you? - asked Balyk.

- I am going to ask you something brother. Do you think that Kireb will be a good king? - asked Narad, looking into his brother's eyes.

- Ofcourse. He is one of the nicest people I know! - said confidently Balyk.

- Listen brother. Being nice won't help us defeat the reckless hordes! We need someone who knows how to use a sword! - Shouted in anger Narad.

- Hordes? W... what do you mean?

- Be a man! Right now our strongest enemy - The Hordes are hiding in the woods, killing every human that walks there. They will attack soon and we won't be able to hold the back. The women will be turned into slaves, the men and kids will be killed! - whispered Narad.

Balyk was too scared to continue the conversation and ran into the castle.
He managed to get some sleep and calm himself down, before the official ceremony.

The whole city was invited to the this special event. Everyone was holding a present in their hands for the new king. Diamonds, Animals and eveything you could possibly think of.

Hours passed by and it was time for the announcement. The old king Zayrim was barely standing in his feet. Had to sit in his throne for the last time, before announcing the next king of Astinrok.

- Dear citizens. I want to thank you for honoring this very special event. I was your king for over 40 years now, but as we all know eveything is temporarly. Today one of my sons will become your next king and I' m sure that he will become a legend for our people. His name is...

Right at this moment an arrow was fired into king Zayrim's heart. Noone moved. Everyone was terrified.

- Hordes! Hordes are attacking! - yelled one of the watchers.

After hearing this words Balyk grabbed his father and took him in the castle's mines, which were hidden deep beneath the surface and only the king's family knew how to there.

- Balyk..you..must leave this place now. Take your brothers and..run away, through the mines. The hordes won't find you. - whispered king Zayrim.

- What? No! I won't leave you here father! - shouted Balyk.

- Please son. I lived..my life well..now it's your turn. Go find your brothers.

Balyk ran back up. The whole castle was already filled with hordes. Blood was spilled on the whole floor. He quickly managed to reach his brother Kireb's room, but it was too late. Kireb was lying on the floor with arrow in his back. Balyk broke down in tears, trying to wake up his brother. He finally calmed himself, after realizing what happened. He was preparing to go back to his father witg the heart-breaking news, when he heard footsteps, coming from outside the room.
Balyk took a bag from the floor and waited the intruder, behind the door. The only thing he could see is the terrifying shadow that was getting closer and closer to the room.

Balyk waited for the right time and jumped infront the door to hit the intruder, but that intruder turned out to be his brother Narad.

- What are you trying to do? - asked Narad.

- I thought that you are horde. They killed Kireb! Those monsters killed him Narad...they killed him.. - cried Balyk.

- WHAT? I'm going to kill every single one of them! I promise! Give me the arrow..there's a note on it..
"All kings will die"

- Father! - shouted Balyk and ran down into the mines.

He was too late again. His father was already killed.

- Balyk..we must leave this place. Now!

- I will find the one who did this and will make him suffer! - shouted in anger Balyk.
