The Zerilium Empire

Once, long ago, a young boy stumbled upon a portal, leading him to a different world. He made friends with the people of the other world, and the people loved him. He befriended a wise king, with a hidden dark side. The king told the boy about a legend, said to be true by the locals. He provided evidence by showing him a book written by Jibble-bee Libby, a brave adventurer from a hundred years ago. The boy learnt the language in which the people wrote and read the fabled book. The book told him about the empires dark history and it's wars, and the boy became scared. The king found out that the boy had read the secret book, and threatened him with death if he told a soul. The boy rebelled, and fled from the empire with the book early one morning, as the portal opened. The king tried to chase him but the boy was too quick, and as it turned out, no person born in the empire, could leave through the portal. Luckily, for the boy, the king did not know that he had taken the book, and he passed away before it was discovered. The boy returned to his house in the woods and lived there for the rest of his life, until he died of old age and the house was inherited by his daughter, and her child, Canby.
