Once long ago there lived an evil queen who treated her subjects poorly, feeding them only on turnips and making them do the hardest work. One day a boy called Zareth decided to lead a revolt against her. He set off to recruit followers leaving his family behind and only taking a small bag of clothes. So Zareth traveled far and wide, searching for people who would join him in his revolt and give him a chance at success, for even though he was young and strong, Zareth knew that he stood no chance against the queen if he was alone.
One by one, people began to join Zareth, They elected him as their leader and pledged their allegiance to him, telling him that they would follow him to death if that is what it took to overthrow the queen and end her merciless rule.
But how could Zareth really be sure if these troops were really loyal to him or if they would run away at the sight of the queen's army? So, in order to know his men's loyalty to him, Zareth set up a series of tests.
The first test all the men had to make it all the way through the desert of cobras, only five men were scared and ran off, their names i will not mention. The second test was a test to climb the eary mountain, where many creatures lived, this time all men mad it now it was time to get prepared for battle.
