The kingdom that shines…

Gaismas Kingdom was always brilliant from natural landscapes to architectural buildings with various colours that perfectly harmonized as if it was a wonderland created by a mastermind that wows even the most demanding people. Living in such a stunning place, Gaismas citizens were the happiest ones on the planet, they could spend a whole day by the river, in the forest, or walking along the beach and leave out all the rest.

Then the darkness conquers

On the most terrifying day that no one could ever forget, the light was suddenly sucked into a mysterious castle at the kingdom’s end, leaving the whole Gaismas in the spine-chilling darkness. It was believed that the castle’s owner was an evil witch wanting to monopolize the realm, so she stole the light and took away the vitality of all living things.

The people were lamenting, languishing day by day with the life of groping in the dark night, relying only on the flickering fire from the fireplace or the kitchen. Gradually, fuel for burning was increasingly scarce, and the darkness was threatening the life of the entire kingdom worse and worse.

Here come the heroes

Determined not to put the kingdom in danger, a knight and an archer, the bravest ones in the kingdom, set out to the witch’s castle to regain the light. The journey was long, dark, and harsh which continuously discouraged them. At times, they thought they could not lift their feet off the ground, but their strong will recharged them with incredible power. They eventually arrived at the castle after tiring days.

When entering the castle, they heard a voice calling for help from the cellar. Out of curiosity and confusion, they went down and, surprisingly, met the witch. She was locked, weak, and vulnerable as if she was dying. With a breathy voice, she told the two that the one who took over the castle, robbed the light, and intended to destroy the kingdom was a giant devil.

At that moment knowing his vicious plan, she tried her best to stop him. But this devil was too powerful, he defeated the witch, took away her strength, and locked her in the basement. She told them that his heart was not in the body, it was put away in a safe place so that no one could ever kill the devil in a one-on-one fight. They had to find out where the heart was located to end his life. The witch offered help to the two since she knew the castle like the back of her hand.

The battle to regain light

The two decided to free the witch and sought the devil’s heart together. They went all the way to the spire, discovering that the heart was guarded by huge 16-foot carnivores. Swords and arrows could not take them down. The witch took the knight and the archer entirely by surprise, she used up her remaining strength to cast a spell on the carnivores to make them freeze in seconds, just in time for the two to take the heart away and destroy it. The witch fell to her knee and took her last breath with a winning smile on her face.

They heard the horrifying roar of the devil, then a halo surrounded the castle. The light was instantly released and filled up the whole kingdom. They burst into tears, realising that they had rescued their homeland.
