King Oliver and the Crown of Nemethis
Long ago, in the kingdom of Almina, where the colourful paradesh roamed freely and the pink orchids bloomed, there lived a generous and kind king, King Oliver. His reign was prosperous and peaceful. However, the kingdom had a massive secret. There was buried a mighty treasure hidden deep within the kingdom’s ground, known only to the royal family.
One fateful day, the king's four younger brothers, each embroiled in jealousy and greed, decided they had enough of their older brother's success. They sought to claim the treasure and the kingdom for themselves. Devising a cunning plot, they banished King Oliver, with the whole kingdom believing the king had embarked on a long journey.
But, there was something the wicked brothers didn’t realize. The royal treasure was magically bound to the true heir of the kingdom, becoming revealed only in the rightful king's presence. The brothers unsuccessfully dug every inch of Almina, leaving the kingdom barren and deprived. The cheerful paradesh fled, and the blooming orchids withered away. Thus, the once-thriving kingdom was brought to near extinction.
Meanwhile, the banished king wasn’t simply wasting away his days in exile. King Oliver, with his unwavering faith in his people, knew he had to reclaim what was rightfully his. One day, guided by prophecy, he embarked on a journey to seek the Oracle of Nemethis, a mythical creature believed to possess the power to restore lost kingdoms and expel unwanted rulers.
After travelling to the ends of the kingdom, through the perilous Dark Forest and scaling the Tappan mountains, King Oliver finally found the Oracle. The Oracle heard King Oliver's tale and felt the sincerity of his heart. Charmed by the king's righteousness, he agreed to help but warned that the process would require immense courage and resilience.
‘In every heartbeat, and with every step, remember your people. Let their strength be your guiding light, and you shall reclaim what was taken unjustly,’ the Oracle advised.
In the coming days, King Oliver underwent numerous tests and trials designed by the Oracle. From fighting venomous Silther snakes to crossing the fiery Cragi valleys, King Oliver suffered yet never turned back. He knew every task was not just for him, but for his kingdom and his loyal subjects.
Finally, when the last ray of the red sun touched the horizon, King Oliver completed his final test. The Oracle, pleased with the King’s determination, granted him the ‘Crown of Nemethis’, which possessed the power to claim back a lost kingdom.
Having acquired the crown, King Oliver, now stronger and even more resolved, returned to Almina. As soon as his foot touched the kingdom’s soil, the earth started to rumble, the skies roared, and the dull ground sparkled. The magical crown recognized the kingdom’s rightful king and brought forth the hidden treasure, richer than before.
The sight of King Oliver with the shining Crown of Nemethis and the treasure left the wicked brothers astonished and terrified. They were easily overthrown and exiled for their treachery. King Oliver ascended the throne again, this time with greater power and sacred allegiance.
The kingdom of Almina was restored to its former glory. Paradesh now flew even brighter, and the orchids now bloomed in flamboyant hues, telling tales of their courageous king. Populace celebrated as their benevolent King Oliver had returned. From that day forth, the Kingdom of Almina thrived with prosperity, joy, and above all, loyalty towards their heroic king.
