Chapter one
"Red"
A long time ago …
Koga, Akuta, Pera, Sona
four kingdoms lived in the middle of the world peacefully ...
It was called Earth's paradisial because of its beauty and the nature of its people.
But that didn't last long
It began when a scientist discovered something great that could change the world in the “Mont” Mountains on the border between the Kingdom of Akota and Sona
So a fierce conflict between the two Kingdoms occurred to seize this mountain and what it contains.
This conflict soon turned into a bloody war when the king of Akuta was accused of killing the messenger of Sona to calm the situation.
The war has lasted for years, and hatred and hatred have spread among the people of the two kingdoms.
The two kingdoms focused on the other annihilation
And forgot the mountain that was the main cause of this crisis
After dark years of struggle,
war has calmed down relatively and the strength of the two Kingdoms faded
So, Pera, the neighbouring kingdom took this opportunity and this calm and made a truce between the two kingdoms to stop the war
In the darkness of these disturbances that lasted for years and after people became desperate to live in peace,
And neither of the two kingdoms can see more of their people dying
This truce gave them hope ...
Since then, no one has approached the Mount Mountains, and it has become an abandoned place, and they consider it a curse for everyone who seeks it.
Ten years later …
The truce continued between the two Kingdoms, and the new generation began to forget about this war, and the Mont Mountains became just an Abandoned place and a mythical story to scare people...
But...
Will this peace continue?
As long as those mountains are on the earth,
And the greed of humans that we can't satisfy??
A man once said ...
“Akota” kingdom ...
"Away from the main city and from the surrounding villages ...
In the middle of a dark forest, a child girl is running for a hope that will shine her way back to home after the densely forest trees and its suspicious creatures hid it"
Girl: "panting" w... why?!... Why doesn't this road end??
"The girl falters, falls on the floor and starts crying"
Girl: No use!! I'm gonna die here. This forest doesn't end!!
"The girl turned to the sunlight that suddenly appeared, illuminating the steps of a man walking toward her"
Girl: “Confused”, w … who are you??
"The girl couldn't see the man's features well because of the cloak that covered his head and body"
Girl: "Tremble", go away... don’t get closer !!
"Quiet voice"
Man: Relax, little one …
"Stop the man at a distance"
"The girl looked at him with fear"
Man: Your mother's cookies are so delicious
Girl: Huh?!!
"Then the girl could see a bright smile out of his darkness"
Man: It's OK, don't pay attention to what I just said...
"The girl looked strangely "
"The man pointed to the top of a huge mountain"
Man: See that mountain...
Girl: ...
Man: Walk in the opposite direction and you will reach your village...
Girl: tha ... thank you, sir
Man: Take this water ... You must be tired of all that running and getting nervous
Girl: Thank you very much sir, That's very kind of you
"The walks away ... and Before she cut a distance, she stopped and looked back"
Girl: sir, What's your ...?
"The girl looked around and didn't find the man"
Girl: Huh! Where did he go??
I wanted to know what his name so my mother honored him next time!!
" The girl continued in her way"
The Kingdom of Akota...
"The truce continues between the two kingdoms, things have stabilized, and people have lived a peaceful life away from pain and sorrow."
“But this has settled on civilians and noble families only, as the villagers are still suffering from the king's neglect for them, their needs and the monopoly of money to him”.
“In one of the villages next to the main city”
"in one of the blacksmith workshops"
“His iron hammer hits the final technical touches on a sword that may bought him a new pair of shoes or fed better food...”
Nero: "Smile" huh. Well, I've outdone myself this time!!
"Laughing"
Nero: he he he … Mr.Brown's will increase my wage this time
"Walks to the next room"
"Mr.Brown was busy with his work"
Nero: Mr.Brown.
"Mr.Brown continues his work and ignores Nero"
"Nero cries"
Nero: Mr.Brown!!
Brown: I told you for the 100th time that I know today is your payment day !!
Nero: "Laughing sarcastically" HAHAHA , no, not that, Mr.Brown ... and How long have I been bothering you with this??
"Mr.Brown lifts his protective glasses and turns to Nero"
Brown: You do this all...
"Mr.Brown breaks his words when he is surprised by the sword in Nero's hands"
Brown: What is this ??
Nero: “with a wide smile”, I made it
Brown: "Surprised" this boy!!!
Nero: What's not good??
Brown: Nero, didn't I tell you not to make these things?
Nero: But, Mr.Brown, if a prince or one of the noble families bought it from me, I'd make a huge sum of money
Brown: But what if a criminal asks you??
Nero: Then I won't sell it to him
Brown: Trade doesn't work like this, Nero......They'll threaten you with murder then
"Nero gets upset and looks at the ground"
Nero:hmpf!!
Brown: It's enough work for today, Nero
"handle him A barrel of money"
Brown: Here...
Nero: But today is not over yet!!
Brown: it's okay, take a break for the rest of the day
Nero: All right!! Thank you, Mr.Brown
"Nero walks out with his head down"
"But before he goes away, Mr.Brown calls for him"
Brown: Nero!!
"Nero turns to him"
Brown: Don't worry. Your tiredness won't for nothing!!
"Nero smiles a wide smile and cries out for joy"
Nero: Thanks, Mr.Brown
"Mr.Brown looks at the sword"
He made something perfect!! This sword can really be sold
To a veteran fighter or a prince
"Mr.Brown looks at Nero"
Mr.Brown: He really reminds me of him
"The kid was returning home walking down a wide and free road of people"
Nero: My mother will be proud of me when I tell her what I made today.
"Suddenly Nero hears the sound of a trail on the ground"
Nero: WOHH, the ground is shaking!
" Nero looks behind him to be surprised by a huge group of horses and carts advancing fast."
Nero: What's the …?
"One of the soldiers shout loudly "
Get away, villager.
"Nero jumps out of the way and looks at them amazed "
Nero shudders as he looks at their shields, their swords, their muscle-twisted horses, their armored vehicles, and their straightness.
Nero: Wooh !!
"After they've gone, the dust spread in the place from the hooves of their horses."
"Nero suffocates from the dust and comes out of it "
Nero: cough ..cough
"Nero turns to a group of villagers standing down the hill he stands on"
Nero: What's going there?
"Nero comes down to them and stands with them "
"There was a body of a woman lying preparing for her funeral as in the tradition of the village"
Nero: This woman is still young!! Did some criminal kill her?
Man 1: Oh, my God, this disease is spreading in a terrifying way in this village!
"Nero looks to the man and listens to him "
Nero:…???
Man 2: Yes, and the king hasn't sent us the cure yet.
Man 1: "Speaking with mockery", does the king and his followers even care about us? They treat us like slaves.
They take everything we plant and let us rot in these villages for nothing.
Man 2: Keep your voice down, the king's spays may hear you
Man 1: F**k them, whoever went to the king to complain to him our bad state returns headless.
Man 2: It is said that there are some grasses in the Mont mountains that can cure this disease!!
Man 1: It's like someone dares to go there
Nero: The Mont Mountains?
"Then someone comes up with a bunch of hungry dogs. She barks very loudly."
"Nero turns terrified"
Nero: Uh, uh. What’s that??
Man 2: Here the ceremony has begun.
Nero: Ceremony!!
"Nero panics and a lot of fear spread into Nero's body, he falls on ground, and he barely catches his breath when he sees the dogs swooping down on the woman's body.
Her body is shaken and her flesh and bones are torn apart without any mercy ”
Man 1: Oh, that's really terrifying, I don't want this to happen to my body when I die.
Man 2: It's ok, this ceremony is heroic in the eyes of the villagers, as a sacrifice for our dogs that we can't feed. So our dogs will survive and have the strength to protect our herd and farms from wolves and criminals.
Man: I'm sick of this crap, I'm going to join the army and live a decent life in the city.
Nero: The army?
"Back home after the shock he saw "
Nero: Damn it! What's happening to this village?
"He remembers the sight of the woman and dogs”
“his body shudders "
Nero: No, no. This shouldn't go on.
"A man appears from afar "
Nero: Oh it's "Narsus"
"Nero calls him"
Nero: HEY Narsus!!
"Narsus turns to him "
Narsus: Oh Nero, my son’s best friend!!
Nero: you're finally back! How was your trip?
Narsus: "Laughs" It was a great adventure

"And at the same time "
Nero and Tina: Oh it's delicious!!
Nero:" Laughs " as expected from Narsus
Tina: Are things really that great outside the village?
Nero: That's for sure, and one day I'll take my mother and live in the most beautiful spot in the world.
Tina: I heard your father was venturing with Narsus.
Nero: That's right, and after he disappeared, he asked Narusus to take care of me and my mother.
Tina: Looks like he liked to explore.
Nero: hmmmm yeah , I think I inherited this thing from him.
"Silence"
Tina: "In a low voice" Do you still believe in his return?
"Nero looks at the full moon"
Tina:...??
"Nero looks at the cherry beads in his hand. "
Nero: Actually I haven't seen him since the day I was born so I can't judge his behavior but...
"Nero eats a cherry and continues to talk and smile at Tina’s face"
Nero: But if my mother believes his return, I'm sure he'll be back.
Tina:...
" Tina smiles at Nero's face"
Tina: Yes, he will ...

Nero: Oh, look at the top of the Mont mountains, its shining
Tina: Wow, she's beautiful.

Nero: It's just stories. Don’t believe anything is said
Tina: Do you really think it's just an ordinary mountains?
Nero: Mmm, I don't know, but we don't have to judge anything before we try it.
