introname=INTRODUCTION
introcomics1=King Sigmund loved to eat. One day his niece, Princess Helen, came to visit him. The king was eating and waxing nostalgic, when all of a sudden...
introcomics2=There came a tornado, the likes of which had not been seen in 200 years. Animals, houses, and even people flew through the air. King Sigmund's castle somehow withstood the storm. But his troubles had only just begun...
introcomics3=The tornado woke Firemouth the dragon, a terrifying nocturnal hunter. According to legend, Firemouth could not sleep until he ate 37 people. The legend might be wrong, but the dragon had already eaten eight people, and didn't seem the least bit ready to go back to sleep.
introcomics4=And what's more, Princess Helen found out that during the tornado, her father, King Olgert, had been struck by lightning. Nobody knew whether he would live or die. She needed to return home immediately but all the roads were in ruins, the hamlets were destroyed, and a hungry dragon circled over the land.
introcomics5=A knight, famed for his wit and courage, named Arthur answered duty's call.  Not only would he have to escort the princess, but he would also have to restore the ruined land. King Sigmund promised him a shiny new castle as a reward for successfully completing the quest.
introcomics6=But everyone knows that good knights don't care about rewards. They are only concerned with heroic deeds and love. Have a safe journey!


comics1=ROCKY ISLAND
comics1_1=Arthur and Helen boarded a ship and sailed to Rocky Island. With the sky a stunning blue and the sun shining brightly, it seemed that they hadn't a care in the world.
comics1_2=But the captain told them that the tornado had caused many avalanches and rockslides. The roads were unpassable, the wells were filled in and the local inhabitants were eating crusts of bread and prairie dogs.
comics1_3=What's more, mountain spirits had awakened and come forth from the dark caves. Unable to find peace, these spirits wandered the island and made horrible noises. Good knights, of course, are not afraid of ghosts. But princesses...
comics1_4=Helen and Arthur became friends during their journey. And perhaps they were more than friends... But let's not get ahead of ourselves. Have a banana, Princess. The shore is on the horizon!

comics2=THE LAND OF SAND
comics2_1=There is nothing more romantic than flying over the blue sea in a hot-air balloon with a beautiful princess who is heiress to an entire kingdom. One could fly through life gazing into the distance...
comics2_2=The pilot reported that the townsfolk were spreading rumors that the expedition had failed, that Arthur had been captured by spirits, and that the princess had been carried off by the dragon. Staring at them, he could hardly believe his own eyes.
comics2_3=Helen's father had not recovered from the lightning bolt. Such was the news. Mourning was announced in the kingdom.  King Olgert no longer ate or drank, and the townsfolk said he was not long for this world.
comics2_4=And the road ahead is still long. Ahead lies the Land of Sand, a desert scorched by the sun and full of quicksand. Everything there moves slowly and likes to sleep in the shade. But good knights never doubt their success.

comics3=SNOW ISLAND
comics3_1=The eagle ferry took Arthur and Helen to Snow Island, the last obstacle on the path home. He told them jokes so they wouldn't be afraid.
comics3_2=There once was a polar bear that learned to breathe through its bottom. It sat on the ice and suffocated... "Oh, that's an old joke. Everybody knows that one," said the princess. "But it's very relevant," answered the eagle. "Snow Island is full of polar bears."
comics3_3=The eagle advised them to wear their warmest boots. He wouldn't accept any payment for the flight. He only transports those he likes. Farewell, feathered one! The land of snow awaits!

comics4=HOME AGAIN
comics4_1=At last Helen was home. It is good when someone who was lost without a trace returns, especially when that person is your only daughter. The joy that spread across King Olgert's face made him look 20 years younger.
comics4_2=He wanted to reward Arthur with half a kingdom and make him chief minister. But Arthur said, "What use is a kingdom without someone to help me rule it?" And so he asked for Helen's hand in marriage.
comics4_3=Helen agreed, for she had been head over heels in love with Arthur ever since Rocky Island. Her father gave them his blessing, and the whole kingdom celebrated their wedding for three days and three nights. And would you believe that the next morning nobody had a headache!
comics4_4=The newlyweds moved into Arthur's new castle. If the castle did not reach its full size during the game, you can replay the levels indicated in silver on the map, and complete your castle. Thank you for your heroic deeds and may we meet again in new adventures!
