King Darvash the Destroyer

In a faraway land called Almaron, people once lived in peace. The rivers were clean, the farms were green, and the markets were full of happy voices. But everything changed the day Darvash became king. He was the son of the old king, but he did not have the heart of a leader. Instead of kindness, he carried anger. Instead of wisdom, he carried pride. And instead of justice, he chose destruction.

When Darvash was crowned, the sky itself turned dark, as if warning the people about the danger that was coming. At first, the people hoped he would rule with fairness, but soon they realized how wrong they were.

Darvash believed that fear was stronger than love. He said, “A king must be obeyed, even if it costs blood.” Every day he made new laws, harsh and cruel. Farmers had to give half their crops to the palace. Traders were punished if they didn’t pay heavy taxes. Anyone who spoke against the king was thrown into the dark prison under the castle.

Slowly, the streets of Almaron became silent. Children stayed inside, houses locked their doors early, and no one dared look the palace guards in the eye. The kingdom that once felt alive now felt like a grave.

Darvash ruled from a throne made of black stone. His armor was heavy and dark, decorated with gold patterns that looked like fire. A long red cape flowed behind him like spilled blood. His eyes shined with a strange amber light, cold and heartless. He enjoyed watching people tremble in front of him. To him, fear was loyalty.

His army was known as The Black Fangs, soldiers trained to show no mercy. They marched through villages, taking food, money, and sometimes even people. If a village refused to obey, Darvash gave one order—“Burn it.” Flames rose across the land, and smoke became a part of the sky.

But in every kingdom, no matter how dark, there is always a spark of courage.

In the village of Lorrin, far from the royal city, a young woman named Mira watched her home burn. Her father had refused to hand over their harvest, saying his family would starve. The Black Fangs punished him, and Mira saw the cruelty with her own eyes. Her heart broke, but it also grew strong.

She gathered people who had lost everything—farmers, builders, mothers, and even a few former soldiers who had left the king’s army. They met secretly in the woods, planning a way to stand against Darvash. They knew it was dangerous, but they also knew something important:

A kingdom belongs to its people, not to its tyrant.

Meanwhile, Darvash sat in his throne room, unaware that a rebellion was rising. He was angry because he believed the people did not fear him enough. He ordered more soldiers to patrol the kingdom and demanded even more taxes.

One night, as storms raged over the castle, Darvash looked into the mirror inside his chamber. The reflection staring back at him was not a king, but a monster made by his own choices. But instead of regret, he felt pride. “Fear is power,” he whispered.

Outside the castle walls, Mira and her group made their final plan. They knew they were no match for the king’s army, but they also knew that courage can do what weapons cannot.

At sunrise, the rebellion began.

Villagers from all sides of Almaron came out with wooden sticks, farming tools, and anything they could find. They marched toward the royal city. The Black Fangs tried to stop them, but the people were too many, their hearts too strong. For the first time in years, the kingdom shouted not in fear—but in unity.

When Darvash heard the noise, he stood at the balcony of his palace, looking down at thousands of people gathered outside. Instead of listening to their cries for fairness, he raised his sword and ordered his soldiers to attack.

A great battle began. People fought to save their future, and the king fought to protect his pride. Fire spread once again, but this time it burned for freedom.

In the middle of the battle, Mira reached the palace gates. She looked up at Darvash, who stood tall in his dark armor. Their eyes met—the eyes of hope facing the eyes of destruction.

“Darvash!” she shouted. “A king who destroys his people destroys himself!”

For a moment, Darvash hesitated. Not out of guilt, but out of surprise. No one had ever dared shout at him.

But instead of changing, he became even more furious. He raised his sword and rushed forward, ready to strike Mira down.

Before he could reach her, a group of villagers blocked him. Their courage was stronger than his power. The people of Almaron had finally risen, and Darvash’s rule began to crumble like sand.

By sunset, the battle had ended. The Black Fangs had retreated, and Darvash stood alone. His kingdom was no longer his. His fear no longer controlled anyone. He had chosen destruction, and destruction had taken everything from him.

The people rebuilt their homes, healed their lands, and promised never to let such darkness return. Mira became a symbol of hope, and the kingdom slowly returned to peace.

As for Darvash, he walked into the mountains alone, carrying the weight of his choices like a shadow that would never leave him.

Justice returned to Almaron—not through a crown, but through courage.
