Quest for the Mighty Sword

Thorn, King of the Gods, chooses Ator to lead his people back to the Middle World and entrusts him with the Sword of the Sacred Graal. The gift marks the start of Ator's lifelong quest for justice and his people's destiny. The blade's power elevates the stakes and foreshadows the challenges ahead.

Thorn arrives to reclaim the weapon, but Ator refuses to surrender it to him. He asserts that the blade should remain with a protector who can pass it to his own heir. The mortal-divine tension is established and sets the course for the ensuing conflict.

Thorn defeats Ator, slashing the sword into two halves and disarming the hero. He orders Dejanira to be imprisoned in a circle of fire until a mortal strong enough to free her appears, an act that will cost her immortality. The breaking of the blade marks a turning point in the prophecy and the fate of Dejanira.

Sunn places Ator and the sword fragments in Grindel's care, seeking a death potion through him. Grindel instead uses a love potion, sleeps with Sunn, and curses her to a life of poverty and prostitution until a man embraces her like a mother. The curse casts a long shadow over Ator's family and fate.

Years later, as Ator approaches his eighteenth birthday, the soothsayer Nephele shows him a vision of Dejanira and tells him of his destined path. She frames the prophecy as a direct summons to begin his journey. Ator accepts the fate and prepares to retrieve the sword and save his people.

Following Nephele's guidance, Ator locates the fragments hidden in Grindel's cave and forges them into a complete blade. With the weapon reforged, he defeats Grindel, ending the sorcerer's influence. The completed sword marks a new chapter in Ator's quest to restore his people.

With the reforged sword, Ator travels to the Western Kingdom and enters a cave where he defeats deadly robotic warrior twins and a fire-breathing dragon. He sacrifices the cave's treasure to the Gods, earning their favor and furthering his mission. The victory expands the scale of his quest beyond personal vengeance.

In another cave, Ator frees Dejanira, provoking Thorn's anger. A volcano erupts, and the cave collapses, forcing the lovers to endure a perilous ordeal together. The disaster accelerates the prophecy and binds their fate more tightly to Ator's mission.

In a tavern, Ator rescues his mother Sunn from an abusive client without recognizing her. When she finally recognizes him, Grindel's curse is lifted, and she instantly ages and dies in his arms. The moment seals Sunn's arc with a tragic finality and deepens Ator's resolve.

After honoring Sunn's memory by burning her body, Ator continues his quest through the Eastern Kingdom. There he confronts treachery from King Gunther and his sister Grimilde as he fights to protect his people. The political landscape widens and tests his leadership.

Ator faces the treachery of Gunther and Grimilde and asserts his claim to his people's homeland. The confrontation tests his resolve and solidifies his role as a leader capable of uniting the Middle World with his people. The outcome will determine whether justice can prevail.

Having faced betrayal and danger, Ator continues his journey toward leading his people back to the Middle World. The mission remains unfinished, but his destiny is now clear and his resolve unshaken. The timeline closes with the promise of a future homecoming.
