Death Of A King

A long time ago, long before our era, lived king Altria Nemcheleck
Straight from birth, he reigned over a huge empire covered by luxurious forests
and prairies
He was born with the power and pride which make men that lead peoples
But this king was also filled with a limitless bounty
He was respected and loved by his people
And when he was riding over his lands
It was as if an entire army was on the way
He was so good that he could not find the necessary anger
To defeat neighbouring chiefs who were jealously plotting in order to invade
his lands
Even if he was as strong as one hundred men
One morning he found himself encircled in his city by rival armies
As the days were passing by, supplies became scarce
He realized that this situation was leading them to death
And chosed to die as he ever lived with dignity
Doors opened and the king rushed at his enemies
Followed by his most valiant warriors
This was a terrible battle
And he died under the blows of his too numerous opponents
And so ends the tale of the king that died by being too good
And so ends the tale of the king Altria Nemcheleck…
