Malkia Rodon was born in southern Mauranië. Her father, king Rodon, ruled over the south lands. For many years Rodon was a beloved king, but over time he grew grumpy and rude and soon he became a
tyrant, a corrupt ruler in a corrupted regime. Her mother took their daughter away to Europe when Malkia was ten years old, away from the monster and later they lived in Geneva. There Malkia became a political activist who never grew tired of telling the world about her father's corrupted regime. She even attended meetings about preparing a coup, a revolution. She had not seen her father, king Rodon in ten years. Now, ten years later, the revolution was a fact and she was on her way to meet him. The single engined aircraft she was in was hit by a grenade and crashed. She was rescued by Bedouins who brought her to a clinic and then later she was taken to the palace of the prince of the City of Madargane in Mauranië. She had lost her memory in the crash, did not even remember her own name. A passport that was found near the wrecked aircraft was by the name of an archeologist Ann Smith, and for a while Malkia believed the passport and the name were hers. She stayed a while in the residence of the prince but after a while she decided to go back to Europe. She had to go alone, accompanied by a black leopard. An extra handicap was that she was easily recognized as being the daughter of the tyrant Rodon and that king was here, in the north, not a beloved man. And the war, in which her father, king of the south, was a feared and hared player, raged on. Needles to say there was a price on her head... |
