Heavens Of The Forbidden Kingdom: The Making of the next big Hero! (Part 1)

A wild chase carries on in the deep dark depths of the night. A muddy forest reeking with foul smells and fungus growing on every tree surrounding the perimeter. The frantic indecipherable cries heard from a woman holding a child was prevalent in the dark night sky. A large hulking man ran shortly behind a woman and child shielding them from the fury of arrows aimed at the child. The arrows could not even penetrate the man’s bare skin as it was so rigid and rough. The man stopped in his tracks and stomped on the ground as a tree came crashing down, blocking the path of the mercenaries chasing the couple. Fire set to the forest as the mercenaries shot their fire arrows in an effort to trap the family. The fragile woman running set her newborn baby in the hands of the beast of a man and quickly unsheathed the crossbow which laid upon her back.

“Heather are you-----“, the man is shortly interrupted by his wife who was unleashing a wave of arrows at the mercenaries.

“Take Abigail far away from here, I’ll catch up and that’s a promise David,” she announces to her husband before taking her next shot.

“A child needs their mother so much in this life, you promise to make it back okay”, David yells back at Heather.

Heather didn’t break a sweat as she skillfully aimed each shot at her target without fail. She was weaving out of the way of incoming arrows and scoping out better vantage points to snipe her foes. David has the baby ever so gently in his arms as he charged directly through the forest. His power was so ferrous and destructive he toppled down nearby trees simply by running into them. Heather swooped down from the sky momentarily running directly beside David. Heather’s face filled with concern as she charged through the forest with David at her side. The couple is ambushed as the two set their eyes upon an army of nasty assassins and mercenaries awaiting their arrival.

“The both of you really think you can outsmart the Kahan Empire”, one of the mercenaries’ shouts from the crowd? Assassins hung from the trees ready to make their mark as the mercenaries on the ground twirled their knives around waiting to fight.

David set Abigail in Heather’s arms and charged the Kahan Empire. Heather’s face broke out in immediate anguish. Her spirit filled with rage, but she held baby Abigail so gently and tenderly. David uppercuts his way through the forces of the Kahan Empire as the brutes take jabs at him, but he was un-phased by their blows. David clobbered the men into each other with his lariats. The assassins leaped from the skies above, while David met them in the air and tossed them directly into the ground. His arms as large as a tree trunk braced the swords swinging at him, but his arms were cut and bloodied shortly after. His eyes, however, did not show an ounce of pain, the man’s ambitions stood as tall as he. David continued to lariat through the Kahan Empire’s forces. Men flew up into the air and were set scattered to the edges of the forest completely eliminating the mob chasing behind them. David knelt on one knee as the fatigue began catching up to him, and his body started to shake and stutter. Heather ran over to his side instantly and comforted him surrounding herself in his arms. David held his two beloveds tightly and tenderly.

“Heather my love, we have awakened an enemy so grand and gigantic. We must keep Abigail hidden, this is our burden, not hers”, David says to Heather with a faint voice and an even more faint spirit.

“Well, what are you suggesting David,” Heather questions as she looked into David’s eyes seeing the sorrow on his face.

“I say we leave Abigail with the Knights. She will stay hidden and they will protect her”, David suggested to Heather fighting back tears.

“There’s no way we can abandon her, she is our own and we must stick together. Those brutes can’t tend to a child David and you know that”, Heather screams.

“We are left with no other options my love”, David fires back at Heather.

Heather’s face laid in complete shock as she clutched onto Abigail ever so tightly. It was written all over her face that this was the only way to ensure the survival of her newborn child. The pain in her face and the look in David’s finally lead to her breakdown. She began to cry, and Abigail cried with her. David raised his left arm into the air, and shortly after a crow flew onto his arm. The crow was no ordinary crow, for it was three times the regular size with a knight’s mask over its head and a peach-colored cloth in its beak. David wrote his note and waited for the Knight’s arrival. David laid a watchful eye over Heather and Abigail as they slept, and several hours later the Knight’s had arrived. David greeted his comrades as they all looked at him with worry.

“Heather and I are on the track of setting things right in the world, and we have come close, but in doing so, we have made enemies out of the world’s most deadly force. As we complete our mission, I ask you to grant my daughter to a secret life of protection and comfort,” David requests of the Grand-master. The Grand-master nods his head and the other knights’ nod shortly after.

“For one of my best knights, and more importantly one of my best colleagues, of course, I will take on this duty,” The Grand-master announces.

David gently rubs Heather’s shoulder three times causing her to wake up. She begins to weep once more, and David helps release her hands of baby Abigail. The Grand-master takes Abigail and mounts her onto his horse. The rest of the knights shortly take off and head back to the academy. David breaks down along with Heather before they set off on their journey. The sunrises and the couple were filled with despair, but their faces couldn’t show it. They began to trudge through the harsh winds and brace for the morning showers so they could ensure peace for the world. Several years pass since this fated day.
