The weather was calm and pleasant. A soft wind was blowing, the grass moved gently, and children were playing happily in the village. Everything felt peaceful and normal.
Suddenly, the wind stopped. The sky slowly began to change its color. Fear spread among the villagers. People looked at each other nervously.
"What is happening?" some of them whispered.
The ground started to shake, and with a loud explosion, the nearby lava mountain erupted. In a moment, everything turned into chaos.
Black clouds covered the sky. Children screamed in fear, and people ran in all directions to save their lives.
"This is the end!" someone shouted.
"It feels like the world is ending!" another cried.
From the burning lava, a terrifying creature came out. It was a five-headed lion. Its eyes were full of anger and fire. When it roared, fear filled everyone's hearts. People felt like death itself had arrived.
Then large wings appeared on the lion's back, and it flew into the sky.
This creature was called Avicenna.
While flying, Avicenna saw a man running away. The man was holding a glowing stone in his hand. That stone belonged to the lion. The man had stolen it. All five faces of Avicenna were filled with rage.
"You dare steal from me," Avicenna roared as it attacked.
The man quickly used magic. He created a fire snake and sent it toward Avicenna. The snake wrapped tightly around the lion. The man stepped closer and placed his hand on Avicenna's third head.
"Stay still," the man said while using powerful magic.
Avicenna became restless and roared loudly. Suddenly, a bright light spread everywhere. The man felt the danger and ran away to save his life. Avicenna lost control and crashed to the ground.
As Avicenna fell, its body began to change. Four of its heads disappeared, and its body became very small, almost like a newborn baby.
At that moment, a young boy named Farabi saw everything. He stood there in shock while everyone else was running away.
"Farabi, run!" his parents shouted.
"Don't just stand there!"
Before they could escape, a huge rock broke loose from the lava mountain and came toward them.
Farabi saw the rock getting closer. His heart started pounding. He was so scared that he forgot how to breathe.
"No… no…" Farabi whispered as he stared at the rock.
Suddenly, his father pushed him away.
"Run, Farabi!" his father shouted.
The next moment, the rock hit his father.
His father died instantly.
Farabi fell to the ground. Time felt like it had stopped. The wind became slow and quiet. Tears filled his eyes as he turned back and saw his father trapped under the huge rock.
"Father…" Farabi whispered in shock.
"This… this can't be real…"
His body began to shake. Fear and pain filled his heart.
"This happened because of me," he said to himself.
"If I had run away… Father would still be alive."
Farabi was weak and had no magic, but his heart burned with emotion. He clenched his fists and spoke through his tears.
"I will take revenge," he said.
"I swear I will kill the man who caused all of this."
He broke down and cried loudly.
At that moment, Avicenna fell from the sky and crashed onto the same rock under which Farabi's father was lying. When Avicenna hit the ground, its soul left its body, and the body turned into a ring.
The ring rolled across the ground and touched Farabi's foot.
Farabi looked down at it and whispered,
"Did this come… from my father?"
He picked up the ring and wore it.
As Farabi started to leave, he looked up at the sky and saw a strange glowing light.
"What is that?" he asked himself.
That light spread across a huge area. People began to scream as they changed into zombies, and their power increased. Farabi survived because of the ring.
As he walked away, he heard a weak voice.
"Help me…"
Farabi stopped and turned back. He saw a human slowly turning into a zombie.
"He needs help," Farabi said and stepped closer.
Suddenly, the zombie attacked him.
"What?!" Farabi shouted in fear.
He tried to run, but the zombie used magic and hit his legs. Farabi fell to the ground.
"So this is how it feels…" Farabi said painfully.
"This is how Father felt…"
The zombie slowly walked toward him. Farabi saw a broken branch on the ground and grabbed it.
"Stay back!" Farabi shouted.
When the zombie tried to bite him, Farabi pushed the branch into its mouth with all his strength. His arms shook as he struggled.
"I don't want to die!" Farabi cried.
His strength slowly faded. Feeling helpless, he closed his eyes.
Then the zombie's hand touched Farabi's hand.
And it touched the ring.
