HIS SECRET DESTINY
EPISODE 6 — THE KING'S DEADLY SECRET
The golden doors slammed shut.
David and Daniel were trapped inside the mysterious chamber with their father, King Arkon.
Outside, Richard, Grace, and Ezekiel desperately tried to open the door.
"David!" Grace screamed. "David, can you hear me?"
There was no answer.
Inside the chamber, David stared at the man sitting on the ancient throne.
His real father.
The man he had believed was dead.
David's voice trembled.
"Why did you let me believe you were dead?"
King Arkon slowly stood.
"Because it was the only way to keep you alive."
David shook his head.
"You let another man raise me."
Arkon looked at Richard through the golden door.
"Richard saved your life."
Daniel stepped forward.
"And what about me?"
The king looked at his older son.
"You were never supposed to survive."
Daniel's face changed.
"Why?"
The king remained silent.
Daniel shouted:
"WHY DID YOU WANT ME DEAD?"
Suddenly, the entire chamber shook.
A deep voice came from behind the walls.
"Because Daniel knows the truth."
Everyone froze.
David looked around.
"What truth?"
Daniel slowly looked at his father.
"You still haven't told him?"
King Arkon lowered his head.
Then Daniel said:
"David... our father is not the real King Arkon."
CHAPTER 1 — THE MAN ON THE THRONE
David stared at Daniel.
"What are you talking about?"
Daniel pointed at the king.
"Look at him carefully."
David looked at his father.
Suddenly, he noticed something strange.
The golden mark on his chest began glowing.
The king's face started changing.
His skin became darker.
His eyes turned completely black.
David stepped backward.
"Who are you?"
The man smiled.
The voice that came from his mouth was no longer human.
"I am the keeper of the Gate."
Daniel grabbed David.
"Run!"
The man raised his hand.
A powerful force threw Daniel across the room.
David screamed:
"Daniel!"
He ran toward his brother.
But before he could reach him, the man appeared directly in front of David.
He whispered:
"You have your father's blood..."
He touched David's golden mark.
"...but you have my power."
David's eyes suddenly glowed bright gold.
The man stepped backward.
For the first time, he looked afraid.
"Impossible."
CHAPTER 2 — THE POWER INSIDE DAVID
David raised his hand without knowing what he was doing.
The entire chamber began shaking.
Ancient stones floated in the air.
The golden throne cracked.
Daniel slowly stood up.
"David, stop!"
"I don't know how!"
"Then think about something you love!"
David closed his eyes.
He thought about Grace.
His mother.
He thought about Richard.
The man who had raised him.
He thought about his childhood.
His school.
His friends.
Then his power disappeared.
Everything fell to the ground.
Daniel looked at him in shock.
"You control it with your emotions."
David looked at his hands.
"What am I?"
Daniel answered:
"Something the Five Families are terrified of."
Suddenly, the mysterious man laughed.
"Let them come."
David turned.
The man removed his black cloak.
Underneath was ancient royal armor.
"I have waited eighteen years for you."
David asked:
"Who are you?"
The man smiled.
"My name is Malachi."
Daniel's eyes widened.
"Malachi..."
David looked at him.
"Who is he?"
Daniel whispered:
"The first Guardian of the Golden Gate."
CHAPTER 3 — THE FIVE FAMILIES ARRIVE
Outside the chamber, Richard suddenly heard footsteps.
Hundreds of people were approaching.
Ezekiel looked frightened.
"They're here."
Grace asked:
"Who?"
"The Five Families."
Five powerful leaders entered the underground temple.
Each one wore a different royal symbol.
Their leader stepped forward.
"Where is the boy?"
Richard stood in front of the golden door.
"You will never touch him."
The leader smiled.
"Richard, you have protected that child for eighteen years."
He stepped closer.
"But tonight, your protection ends."
Richard raised a weapon.
"You'll have to kill me first."
The man laughed.
"Gladly."
Suddenly, Ezekiel stepped between them.
"You don't understand."
The leader looked at him.
"Understand what?"
Ezekiel pointed toward the golden door.
"The boy has already awakened."
The man's smile disappeared.
"What?"
Ezekiel nodded.
"The Golden Child has awakened."
The five leaders looked at one another.
Then one of them whispered:
"Then the prophecy has begun."
CHAPTER 4 — THE BROTHERS' CHOICE
Inside the chamber, Malachi stood before David and Daniel.
"The Gate must be opened."
David shook his head.
"No."
Malachi smiled.
"You don't understand your destiny."
"I don't care about destiny."
David looked at Daniel.
"I care about my family."
Daniel stared at him.
For the first time, his hatred disappeared completely.
"You really are my brother."
David smiled.
"And you're really annoying."
Daniel laughed.
"At least you finally admit it."
Even in the middle of danger, they both laughed.
Then the chamber suddenly shook.
Malachi looked toward the Golden Gate.
"It's too late."
David's smile disappeared.
"What happened?"
Malachi whispered:
"The Shadow King has awakened."
A huge crack appeared across the ancient door.
Dark smoke began pouring through it.
Daniel grabbed a sword from the wall.
"David..."
David looked at him.
"Yes?"
"Whatever comes through that door..."
Daniel tightened his grip on the sword.
"...we fight it together."
David nodded.
"Together."
CHAPTER 5 — THE SHADOW KING
The Golden Gate exploded.
BOOOOOOM!
A massive wave of darkness filled the chamber.
The five families outside were thrown backward.
Richard grabbed Grace.
"Get down!"
Then everything became silent.
A tall figure slowly walked out of the darkness.
He wore a black crown.
His eyes were completely red.
Malachi immediately fell to his knees.
"The Shadow King."
The creature looked at David.
Then he smiled.
"At last."
David stood his ground.
"Who are you?"
The Shadow King laughed.
"You don't remember me?"
David frowned.
"I have never seen you."
The Shadow King stepped closer.
"Of course you haven't."
He pointed at David's chest.
"But I remember the night you were born."
David's heart began beating faster.
"What happened that night?"
The Shadow King smiled.
"I was there."
David froze.
"And I was the one who chose your destiny."
Suddenly, the Shadow King looked at Daniel.
"And your brother..."
He smiled.
"...was the sacrifice."
Daniel's face went pale.
"What?"
The Shadow King raised his hand.
Daniel suddenly disappeared into a cloud of darkness.
"Daniel!"
David screamed.
He ran toward the darkness.
But it was already too late.
Daniel was gone.
The Shadow King looked at David.
"Now, little king..."
He smiled.
"Let's see what you will do when the person you love most is taken from you."
David's golden mark exploded with power.
His eyes turned completely gold.
And for the first time...
David lost control.
