Title: The Blackfire and Snow White

_________________________

In a kingdom called the kingdom of Damas there is a rule where the royal princess must marry her brother. So that only the descendants of the king can rule and govern all governments. Damas Kingdom has a war army that is famous for being very strong in all corners of the world. At that time the royal army was at its heyday in the leadership of a commander named Satria who was nicknamed the BlackFire.

One day king Damas died of being poisoned by one of his servants who turned out to be an intruder from another kingdom. And it was unexpected that a few days later the queen went missing somewhere. At that time, king Damas had only one child and the child was a princess.

The daughter of the king of Damas was named Snow White, she had an incredible beauty. Many crown princes from other kingdoms wanted to marry her. But king Damas always refused applications from other kingdoms because of the rules set since time immemorial. That is why many other kingdoms wanted to fight against the kingdom of Damas.

The state of the kingdom became unfounded because they were confused about who would become the king. The ministers thought of marrying the princess to another royal prince. Satria was worried about the condition of the kingdom, and she was actually heartbroken to the princess. And did not want any man from another kingdom to marry her.

One dark night Satria was ordering and organizing the troops to guard the royal palace. Suddenly Satria saw someone running in the royal garden. Satria was after him.

'Hey, you!! Stop!!' Shouted Satria while running after.

'Ouch!!' The man screamed because he fell.

'Who are you?!!' Satria asked while pulling the person.

And it was unexpected that that person was the Snow White.

'Your Highness the Princess, what noble do in the middle of the night like this. Verily forgive the servant for the actions of the servant, the servant is ready to be punished severely.' Satria kneeled apologizing.

'What's wrong, BlackFire, it's my fault to go out in the middle of the night like this without supervision.' Answer the Snow White.

'But if I may know, where will the princess go?' Ask Satria.

'I intend to escape, I can't stand all this' replied the Snow White.

'Don't your majesty, it's a dangerous act. This kingdom needs the Snow White noble as the successor of the kingdom's ruler. It is better now that the noble princess returns to the palace with the servant.' Satria.

'alright.' Replied the Snow White.

Satria took the Snow White back to the palace and the Snow White returned to her room. Satria stood guard around the Snow White's room. Suddenly Satria heard voices from behind the palace walls.

'We must act immediately before they know who poisoned the king and kidnapped the queen, we must immediately marry the princess to the prince of Raw kingdom.'

'It's not easy, the people will rebel against the decision. Because the people know all this time the Raw kingdom really wants to control the kingdom of Damas.'

Hearing that Satria was surprised and tried to push the wall. And unexpectedly it turns out there is a secret room, and it looks like some royal ministers are gathering.

'The BlackFire, what are you doing here?!!' Asked one of the ministers with a surprised face

'How can I not be notified if there is a ministerial meeting? And since when did the ministerial meeting turn to a hidden place like this? And also no escort at all.' Ask Satria back suspiciously.

'It's none of your business, it's a secret meeting of ministers. You disinterested people better go!!' A minister replied with trembling.

'Come on, I already know your rotten plans! I will report it to the Snow White noble so that you are beheaded for treason.' Threaten Satria.

'We do not betray, we just want to give our best for this kingdom.' Answer one of the ministers.

'By killing the king? You're saying it's the best thing for this kingdom? What are you thinking?!!' Firmly Satria

'The King of Damas was too weak and innocent. This kingdom should rule the world. After Snow White marries the prince of Raw kingdom, this kingdom will rule.' Respond greedily to one of the ministers.

'Do you think I'd let that happen? Did you forget that I am the BlackFire?!!' Resolute Satria.

'Of course we don't forget that, BlackFire.' The minister said with a laugh.

'Soldiers, kill this bastard right now!' Orders of another minister.

It was unexpected that there were five Raw kingdom soldiers who directly ambushed Satria. The ministers ran out of the room and left the palace. Satria surrounded by five Raw soldiers immediately played his sword to defeat the five Raw soldiers.

After finishing off the Raw soldiers, Satria immediately rushed to secure the Snow White. However, after arriving at the Snow White's room, the princess who lay unconscious had been taken hostage by the royal prince Raw and his soldiers. And soon the poorly guarded royal palace was surrounded by Raw's royal army.

'You are over, O great Blackfire, who has shaken his holy sword at a man

an innocent woman. The woman I love.' Prince Raw said

'You know that's not what I did, I never killed the people of Raw Kingdom. And you know exactly that!' Resolute Satria.

'I don't care, I'll avenge it all now!' Elak prince Raw.

'I won't let you!' Firmly Satria

A great battle ensues, Satria is overwhelmed by the many forces of Raw kingdom and the great fighting skills of Raw prince. Satria fell and his sword was destroyed because it was no longer strong enough to hold the sword of the soldiers of Raw kingdom.

'This is your death, BlackFire!' Prince Raw said while laughing vilely.

Satria was also killed covered in blood, without having a word and did not have time to express his love for the Snow White. Unexpectedly the Snow White woke up and immediately tried to stab the Raw prince with a knife.

'Death to you!!' Shouted the Snow White

But unfortunately the prince Raw sprightly and slashed his sword to the Snow White to death instantly. Damas kingdom was defeated and all the territory and power of Damas kingdom fell to Raw kingdom.
