A Tale of the King

In a far-away land at a long-ago time, there is a King who lives with his people in a beautiful garden. Their existence is marked by peace and harmony. Until a Duke enters the garden. The Duke is consumed with hatred for the King, and leads the people in a rebellion that separates the King from his people. Now a sea stands between them and there is only one way across. This is just a story, a simple story really, of a King and his people; of heroes and villains. But when is a story ever just a story?
