Once upon a time, many years ago, it was known that good and evil were fighting against each other for which party shall obtain the power and take hold of the "Kingdom of Justice". The king was old and ill. He was not aware of what was going on between good and evil, of slaying and injustice. Poverty, sickness, crime, and stray children were spread across the blessed Kingdom. But how would anyone know about this, when evil kinsmen controlled the whole kingdom? Day by day, the evil continued to spread. The more it did, the more corrupt the kingdom became.
Gudu was the King's son and was the only heir to the thrown. He was a handsome lad with an upright figure and broad shoulders. In short, he was the dream boy of every girl in town. One sunny spring day, when the noble prince was wandering in the vast gardens of his castle, he spotted a girl who was collecting flowers with a basket-full in her hands. The prince was astonished to see such a charming sight. Vivian was a sweet young girl. She had blonde locks hanging down on her shoulders. She had blue eyes, so deep in color, that you would feel yourself going deep down inside them with the strong urge to explore their mystical wonders when looking at them. Gudu called out to her. She heard him, turned towards him and as soon as she spotted him, she began to run. In vain, he followed her and at some point, she disappeared out of sight.
Vivian stalked him. Every night he would think of that beautiful image that grabbed on to his mind and captured his heart.
Years passed, and all these years Gudu held on to the hope that he would meet her someday and unite with her by the bond of love and marriage. For some reason, after keeping her a secret all these years, he approached the king's advisor, Mikan. He asked him if he knew the girl with the basket of flowers. Mikan remained silent, and could not reveal the actual truth of that maiden. Gudu was irritated, but helpless.
The King was getting older and sicker while the war between the good and evil continued. One gloomy night, the sky went dark and creepy. The moon was out of sight and the stars were not shining. All that was a sign of bad news waiting to be spread. The Master of the evil beasts, Jabberwocky, had slain the king.
Greatly affected by the tragic death of his father, Gudu decided to end the chaotic situation that has gone beyond limits. Actions and preparations for war started to take place. Revenge must be taken and the Jabberwocky must be killed. Three noble warriors volunteered for the mission. The first one came from the land of the giants, the second one was from the land of dwarfs and the third was from the land of wizards.
Each one of them had special characteristics. The warrior from the land of giants possessed unlimited power, while the second warrior, who came from the land of dwarfs was distinguished by his incomparable intelligence. The man from the land of wizards owned the ultimate ability to use magic.
The day had come and all noble men were bound to face their one and only enemy, Jabberwocky. They were about to encounter their destiny, which was either going to be a curse that may stalk the kingdom forever, or the death of the horrible monster, and victory over evil. All five men, Gudu, Mikan and the warriors, departed the castle and headed to the path of mysteries and danger. The air was consumingly heavy and a lash of icy wind brushed every now and then making the men's quest a mighty challenge for them to face and tolerate. The precious time was passing, and the danger got closer and closer. After a long and tiring walk, they finally decided to rest in a forest. The intelligent warrior volunteered to stay awake. While the others slept he watched the surroundings and was there to protect. Suddenly, a strong wind blew and the full moon started to darken. The night turned into deep black and grey clouds covered the sky. Out of the fuming black clouds emerged a flying monster. Smoke puffed from each corner and all warriors woke up ready to face their obstacle through their mission. It was unspeakably ugly and unimaginably huge with wings that spread across the horizon. It had eyes raged with fury that would fill a child's heart with enough fear to knock him down. Every one of them expected that the beast would harm the men, and maybe stop them from carrying on with their quest, but it stood still. Right above them in the dark sky, it floated there as if to pass on a message to them, "Beware of what is to come in your mission". Not another minute passed, and the beast vanished.
The sight of the frightful beast reminded Gudu of his father. The beast was certainly one of Jabberwocky's followers. Gudu knew that they had got closer to the castle of evil and the time had come to fight.
They prepared their swords and prayed to God to help them. However, there was something about Mikan. He could not stand hiding the truth from Gudu anymore. He called him near to him and confessed. Mikan talked about the girl with the basket of flowers. Jabberwocky was her stepfather. So, it was Gudu's duty to seek revenge for his father as well as set Vivian free from the anguish of living with this wicked, heartless monster.
All five men stood in front of the massive construction of the jabberwocky's castle. It was extremely huge and scary. The powerful warrior broke down the castle's gate. The man from the land of wizards cast a spell over all who were in the castle and made all of them sleep, while the intelligent warrior solved the puzzle in order to enter Jabberwocky's chamber. Mikan suggested that Gudu approach Jabberwocky by himself in order to seek full revenge from the monster who has taken the life of his beloved father, caused his daughter to suffer and made the kingdom corrupt.
Gudu gathered all his might and decided to enter the Jabberwocky's chamber by himself. He had his sword in one hand and his shield in the other. Jabberwocky was sound asleep. Suddenly, an image of a beautiful girl emerged before his eyes. The Prince was flattered and scared the same time. He listened carefully to what she was telling him. Vivian said that he should aim the sword towards Jabberwocky's heart. He must not aim at any other part of his body, because whatever he cuts off the beast's body is bound to grow again. It was not long before she disappeared again.
Jabberwocky was startled by the presence of the brave warrior. Gudu, knowing the beast's weak point, immediately targeted the sword towards his heart. The beast collapsed to the ground with fuming rage, and intolerable pain. He tried to fight for himself. He got up, and felt the endless pain stream through his whole body. Then, in less than a moment, he laid helpless on the ground, weak and breathless.
Gudu could not believe his eyes. He called in Mikan and the three warriors to watch the sweet victory. Shortly after Jabberwocky's death, everything in the castle began to transform into bright light. The dark walls were covered with green leaves; the sky turned into bright refreshing blue and flowers bloomed announcing the arrival of an eternal spring filled with joy, happiness and justice to the whole empire.
In the midst of all the bliss and tranquility that filled the place, a door appeared accompanied by a soft voice. It slowly opened and Gudu turned around with a thumping heart waiting to meet his promised love. There she was, standing in the doorway with a brush of light across her lovely face. Gudu's dream had finally come true. Mikan and the three warriors were delighted now that good had won over evil. Gudu and Vivian got married, had many children and lived happily ever after.
