The Life Behind The Painting
Episode 1's

No, tuk, no, tuk -

The sound of the steps of a large black horse ridden by a middle-aged man, speeding through the vast plains without trees.

His sharp eyes looked straight ahead, with his right hand ready to swing the sword.

"Yeah.." Shouted the man with a sword and swung it at all those who were trying to kill him.

Blood was sticking to and fro to stain their clothes and add sharpness from the sharpness of the sword eyes that kept swinging.

- Sying, sying, sying -

The sound of sword complaints continued to be heard from any angle, the balls of light were increasingly fierce to hit anyone who was targeted.

Many casualties fell in this war, fighting demons is not an easy thing to be conquered immediately. Moreover, they were just ordinary humans who could only play swords against demons capable of wielding magic was no match for ordinary humans.

It has been 2 (two) nights 3 (three) days this war continues without stopping. If passed on they would definitely lose a lot of soldiers, because they were unable to defend against the demons that were inexhaustible.

What exactly are the weaknesses of the demons? Until now no one knows it. They had controlled many kingdoms and no one knew who the head of the demons was known only to a human.

Several tens of years ago, there was a swordsman who knew the weakness of the Demon King who had never appeared, disappeared mysteriously when he was seriously injured, even the stealth party was confused about losing the swordsman.

Long gone, those on the part of humans and demons thought that the swordsman had been killed and eaten by a beast. Until the search for the swordsman is stopped and the demons are increasingly violent and thirsty for power.

These demons, they look like humans, but it is not the original form of them today that must be very terrible, even some are like animals.

"This cannot be allowed, if it continues like this, we will definitely lose a lot of soldiers," the man thought.

"Commander, we'd better have some of us go back to the kingdom and secure the royal family and the people to a safe place" he told a man of his own age.

"Open the king, let the servant remain here."

"But Commander, I am the king, I must sacrifice for the sake of the family and the inhabitants of the kingdom!"

"No, you must stay alive to look after us, please let me stay here."

"Alright, I hope we can meet again and I will never forget your sacrifice" said the king, who was replied with a nod from the commander-in-chief and passed away with several soldiers.

.

.

"OPEN THE MAIN GATE, THE KING'S MAJESTY HAS ARRIVED" cried a guard above the gate.

The main gate had opened, revealing the contents of a kingdom so large and so vast.

"Gather the royal family and all the villagers. And take them all to the forest of the island of Timur" said the king then ran towards the main room.

.

.

.

"Open the king" said the confused queen also pleased.

"Bring the queen into the chariot and go towards the East gate" said the king, helping the queen to her feet.

Currently, the queen is pregnant and in just a matter of days she will give birth to her first child. Actually the queen had given birth to a son, but at that time also the condition of the kingdom in the war and their son disappeared along with the enemy who resigned.

.

Everyone had been in front of the East gate to leave immediately before the demons had come here, because they know that it is very difficult to defeat the demons without strong preparation and they can use magic.

"THE KING HAS ARRIVED, OPEN THE EAST GATE IMMEDIATELY."

After the Eastern gate opened, they immediately exited the palace area through a dense forest towards an island from the opposite side. This forest is not a forest that is usually passed because there are no open paths even the path is not visible there.

Shady trees and tall grass filled the forest forcing them to make new paths and it would be known to the demons. However, they still did so because there would be an outer field after passing through this shady forest and making the demons would not find their tracks after coming out of the forest into the ocean.

The island they were heading to was not part of the kingdom. However, belonging to a giant kingdom that was strong enough could even be said to be comparable to demons. Although it is said to be a giant island, it does not mean they are actual giants, it is simply the name of the second largest island of the country.

The reason they went to the island was because the island was a gift from the ruler of a giant kingdom to the kingdom of Loesnatales. For saving his daughter from the pursuit of the other soldier who nearly killed his daughter just for saving a deer from their trap.

The island is still a secret of the two kingdoms and no outsiders know about it.

two days later -

"Our king, sorry, the Queen seems to be giving birth soon."

"What!" the king said in disbelief and then ran to the Queen.

"Sorry, the Queen is in labor."

Everyone who was there was anxious, afraid, happy too. How not, in the midst of the journey from the pursuit of the demons will be born one life.

- Owe, owe, owe -

The crying sound of a newborn baby made the Queen and King who had just seen the baby astonished by what they saw. The dense white hair and bright brown eyes that had a bright red color and a glowing body made them shocked and confused.

But this is not a good time to admire and find out what exactly happened to the prince they knew was the son of the King and Queen.

The king hugged him for a while before he gave his son to the queen. He was eager to see his son and hold him for longer and find out why his son's hair was white and his eyes had turned bright red, but the current circumstances made him discourage the intention to do so.

"Continue the journey, we must arrive before nightfall" said the king, seeing his wife smiling and returning to his horse.

.

.

.

They kept walking, the steps were getting heavier and the time was increasingly turning fast. If they do not reach their destination in time, they must be ready to become slaves of the demons.

The sun gradually began to sink to hide its rays, in just 1 (one) hour, they had to arrive in the forest immediately to pull the canoes and ships that could carry quite heavy loads such as chariots and horses.

Now they are on the sea, ready to leave the island where they live.

"Women and children first!" Shouts the king who was busy pulling his horse up the ship.

.

.

.

The ships here are the Eastern crossing ships, which is why these ships are quite large.

After the last ship, the king boarded the ship. If you think, he should be with his wife on the first ship. However, he is a leader who must dare to sacrifice himself for the safety of his family and people.

The distance they had to travel was about half an hour past the sea on a straight route. However, because the weather is quite windy making the ship can not keep straight and will take longer than expected, if forced will definitely cause the ship to capsize and sink.
