  1. WHO AM I ?

The sun was setting behind the mountains as the boy stumbled through the dense forest. He was lost, alone, and scared. He had no idea where he was or how he had ended up there. All he knew was that he had to find his way back home. But where was home?

The boy couldn't remember anything about his past. He didn't know who his parents were, where he was born, or even what his name was. All he had was a deep feeling in his heart that he had a family somewhere, and he needed to find them.

As he walked through the forest, he thought about his situation. He was hungry and thirsty, and the forest was becoming increasingly dark. He needed to find shelter before it was too late.

Just as he was about to give up hope, he saw a faint light in the distance. He started walking towards it, hoping it would lead him to safety

2. THE LIGHT

The light led the boy to a small village nestled in the heart of the forest. The villagers were surprised to see a young boy wandering through the forest alone. They took him in, gave him food and shelter, and tried to find out more about him.

But the boy couldn't remember anything about his past. He didn't know where he was from, what language he spoke, or even what his name was. The villagers tried to communicate with him, but it was clear that he spoke a different language.

Days turned into weeks, and weeks turned into months. The boy lived with the villagers, but he still had the feeling in his heart that he had a family somewhere. He spent every moment of every day searching for any clues about his past.

One day, he found a small pendant in the forest. It was a silver chain with a strange symbol etched into it. The boy didn't know what it meant, but he felt that it was important.

3. THE TRAVELER

The boy showed the pendant to the villagers, hoping that someone would recognize it. But nobody did. One day, a traveler came to the village. He was a man from a faraway land who spoke the same language as the boy.

The boy was excited to finally be able to communicate with someone. He showed the traveler the pendant, hoping he would be able to shed some light on its meaning.

The traveler examined the pendant closely and gasped. He told the boy that the symbol on the pendant was from a kingdom far to the east. The traveler had visited the kingdom and recognized the symbol from the royal family's crest.

The boy was overjoyed to finally have a clue about his past. He begged the traveler to take him to the kingdom to find his family

4. journey

The traveler agreed to take the boy to the kingdom, but it was a long and perilous journey. They would have to cross treacherous mountains, dangerous forests, and scorching deserts.

The boy was determined to find his family and didn't want to give up now. He bid farewell to the villagers who had taken care of him and set off on his journey with the traveler.

As they journeyed, the traveler taught the boy his language and shared stories about the kingdom they were heading towards. The boy learned a lot, but his heart still yearned to find his true family.

One day, as they were crossing the desert, the boy fell ill. He was dehydrated and weak

5. into a kingdom

The traveler was worried about the boy's condition. He knew they needed to find water and rest, or the boy might not make it.

They stumbled upon a small oasis in the desert and the traveler quickly tended to the boy's needs. After a few days of rest, the boy started to feel better. He was determined to continue their journey to the kingdom.

As they entered the kingdom, the boy's heart was pounding with excitement. He had dreamed of finding his family for so long, and now he was finally here.

The traveler helped the boy navigate through the crowded streets of the kingdom, searching for any clue about his past. They eventually came across a palace with the royal family's crest, the same symbol as the pendant.

The boy's heart skipped a beat. He knew that he was close to finding his family. He approached the guards at the gate and showed them the pendant.

The guards were shocked and quickly led the boy to the king and queen. The boy felt a strange sense of familiarity as he gazed at the king and queen's faces. He knew that they were his parents

6. re-unite with parents

The king and queen were overjoyed to see their long-lost son. They embraced him tightly, tears streaming down their faces.

The boy finally learned his name - it was Alexander. His parents told him about his past, how he had been kidnapped by a rival kingdom and sold as a slave to a foreign land. They had searched for him for years, but had given up hope of ever finding him.

The boy, now Alexander, felt a sense of belonging that he had never felt before. He had finally found his true family. He spent the rest of his days in the kingdom, learning about his heritage, and embracing his new life.

As for the traveler who had brought him there, Alexander was eternally grateful. He had saved his life and helped him find his true home. The traveler became a close friend of the family and was welcomed in the kingdom with open arms.

Alexander had come a long way, from a lost boy wandering in the forest to a prince in his true kingdom. He knew that his journey had been difficult, but it had all been worth it in the end.

7. the end or the beginning

Years had passed since Alexander had found his true family. He had grown into a strong and respected member of the kingdom, loved by all who knew him.

One day, while walking in the forest, Alexander stumbled upon a small, tattered piece of parchment. It was old and worn, with strange markings etched onto it. Alexander couldn't make sense of it, but he knew it was important.

He took the parchment back to the palace and showed it to his parents. They were shocked by what they saw. The parchment was a map, leading to a mysterious place deep in the heart of the forest.

Alexander knew that he had to follow the map, that it might hold the key to his past. He gathered a group of trusted advisors and set off on a journey into the unknown.

As they journeyed through the forest, the markings on the map became more and more confusing. They crossed rivers, climbed mountains, and battled fierce beasts, but they never gave up.

Finally, they reached the destination on the map - a hidden cave deep in the forest. Alexander's heart was pounding with excitement as he entered the cave. What he found inside was beyond his wildest dreams.

There, hidden away in the cave, was a chest filled with treasures beyond imagination. Alexander knew that he had stumbled upon something incredible, but he couldn't shake the feeling of unease that had settled over him.

As he and his companions began to gather the treasure, Alexander couldn't help but wonder - who had left this treasure here, and why? And what secrets did it hold?

The answers to these questions would have to wait, for as they left the cave, they were suddenly surrounded by a group of shadowy figures. Alexander and his companions found themselves face to face with a group of dangerous and mysterious strangers.

"What do you want?" Alexander demanded, his hand on his sword.

The leader of the strangers stepped forward and spoke in a cold, menacing voice.

"We want what you have found. The treasure belongs to us, and we will do whatever it takes to get it back."

Alexander knew that they were in grave danger. He drew his sword and prepared to fight for his life.

The suspense hung thick in the air as the two groups faced each other, ready to do battle. What would happen next? Nobody knew for sure, but one thing was certain - Alexander's journey was far from over.
