Three Heroes and A Beast Story Idea
In the year 487 A.D., three royal bodyguards of King Alaric II of the Visigothic Kingdom, named Hunkish Harry, Killjoy Jones, and Wolf Man Mike, are sent on a quest to find the legendary battle axe known as “The Ripple in the River” which besides being a battle axe, can give its wielder the power to control all the water on the planet.
Since it hasn’t rained in their kingdom for months, water has become very scarce and is now worth its weight in gold. The Ripple in the River Axe is guarded inside a formidable dark castle by both the insane warlock named Walter and an aggressive beast named Nails. Hunkish Harry, cocky, meathead strongman and Greek adonis who is the bastard son of the Greek God Adonis. Hunkish Harry is the captain of the royal guard. Killjoy Jones is a smooth-talking, a retired gladiator, and Hunkish Harry’s best friend. Hunkish Harry and Killjoy Jones met on the battlefield during a horrific battle against Walter Warlock and The Franks in their failed takeover of the Visigothic Kingdom. After traveling through mystic forests and dark ruins, Hunkish Harry, Killjoy Jones, and Wolf Man Mike finally arrive at Walter Warlock’s dark castle lair as Wolf Man Mike reveals a secret from his past.
Mike wasn’t always a short wolf-like beast, not only did he used to be human, but Mike is a prince and the sole heir of the Heroes Kingdom throne. Mike was cursed by Walter Warlock who transformed from a handsome prince into the creature he is today. After the three royal bodyguards on a mission have an encounter with the dark castle’s groundskeeper, Stan the Scarecrow, they learn from him that not only has Walter Warlock been expecting them, but that he has hidden away The Ripple in the River Axe in another undisclosed location. As they enter the castle, Walter shockingly welcomes them with open arms and a fine fest waiting for them. But Walter is not alone, he now has a beautiful girlfriend, a mysterious green haired young maiden, named Natalie. Hunkish Harry and Killjoy Jones slobber at Natalie’s beauty, but Wolf Man Mike after spotting a familiar symbol on her belt is suspicious of Natalie. Long after our heroes have eaten the wonderful fest, Walter gives them a job offer to be his bodyguards in his new world order which of course the three royal bodyguards of King Alaric II refuse his job offer. Walter doesn’t accept the refusal well and when he’s done throwing a fit, he disappears.
Wolf Man Mike then has a fit of rage himself because he lost his chance at breaking his curse and turning back into a human being. But Natalie reveals a secret about herself, Natalie herself is the fabled beast guardian Nails of Walter Warlock’s dark castle. Walter turned her into a human, but to turn herself into a beautiful young woman, Wolf Man Mike had to sacrifice his handsome looks and transform into a beast so the former beastly Nails can become the beautiful young maiden, Natalie. Having guilt that it was her who was a partly responsible for turning Mike into a beast, Natalie decides to switch sides and teams up with Harry, Killjoy, and Mike on their quest to defeat Walter and retrieve The Ripple in the River.
After forming their alliance to retrieve The Ripple in the River, which they soon learn from Stan the Scarecrow, that is now located atop the ice-covered mountain peak of the mystical Gaul Mountain located deep inside the dark forest. Before they all leave to continue their quest, Stan the Scarecrow asks to join them because he seeks his freedom from Walter. They welcome Stan the Scarecrow to their team, but little do they know that Stan the Scarecrow is a double agent for Walter Warlock who promised him a human body, but not just any human body, but the body of Hunkish Harry.
Now Harry, Killjoy, Mike, Natalie, and Stan resume their quest to find the Ripple in the River. But before they can face Walter Warlock, they must defend themselves against the creatures and villains of this magical land like goblins, dragons, and even rival witches and warlocks. And who knows, maybe they will find other treasures besides the Ripple in the River or even better yet along the way they might find love in the most unlikeliest of places.
