hey Leif where are you
late
what is it my love Leif has already gone
to town to the market the market don't
you remember
today is his 16th birthday
listen carefully all of you as of today
these fruit trees have been deemed the
property of the Shadow Lord no one is
permitted to trespass beyond these gates
please sir drive an apple
what was that no dear you mustn't please
forgive her she's just a child
why can't I have an apple that bad
master ah everything with a brand on it
belongs exclusively to the Shadow Lord
all who ignore this will be severely
punished no please don't
I can't see you're saying everything
branded belongs to the Shadow Lord well
I don't see a brand on that Apple she's
holding therefore it must belong to
nobody cut slit market
Oh
Jared Jared there's trouble what's the
matter
there's smoke coming from the market
what
where'd he go
man move it look in the other alley huh
life had not always been this way
there had been a time when the people of
the land had known peace and prosperity
when seven tribes lived in coexistence
each tribe the guardian of a gem that
possessed strong in mysterious powers
then from the shadow lands a great enemy
cast his greedy eyes on Deltora
separately the seven tribes were
powerless to defeat it that is until a
hero arose from among the ranks of the
people
his name was Aden a blacksmith by trade
Aden dreamt of a belt that would unite
the seven gems and with it the tribes to
make Deltora unconquerable so it was
that they drove the Shadow Lord from
their lands but this was not the end of
the story for the Shadow Lord merely lay
in wait his anger and envy burning
through the ages Aden became the first
king of Deltora and he ruled the land
long and wisely in time however the
power of the belt was forgotten the
Shadow Lord saw his opportunity
the Akbar was descended on the palace
and the belt of Deltora was destroyed
the gems were scattered to seven of the
most dangerous places and magical and
though the soldiers of the land fought
long and hard there were no match for
the evil which they faced dealt auras
armies with bankers
and her cities laid to waste and so the
Shadow Lord came to rule Deltora casting
the land and its people into poverty and
despair the last king in dawn fled the
palace under a cloud of shame Barda
many years of pass since we decided to
hide and wait
but now our waiting is almost over I can
sense it our patience will soon pay off
follow the Lemmy's yes my lord I am
humbly at your service
I feel the Restless wind within this
land
thanks to you my lord and your grey
guards everything is quite under control
are you certain about that if there is
something troubling you my lord allow me
to serve you better
if it is the seven gems that disturb you
my lord I gladly offer to retrieve them
for you of course I'll need to know
their whereabouts you fool how dare you
hope to know the location of those gems
please forgive my insolence just keep a
watchful eye for any suspicious activity
increase the number of guards yes my
lord
Barda where's my father he's in the
Forge young master I told you to stop
calling me that I've got a name leaf huh
I'm so glad you're okay so Leif did you
get in trouble with the grey guards
again
answer me Jared please yes Father
but I'm not afraid of the grey guards
like everyone else is the book the belt
of Deltora tells us that the only thing
able to defeat the Shadow Lord is yeah
the belt itself I know but our king is
either dead or hiding like a coward all
the rest of us are stuck here suffering
under the shadow lord I can't just stand
aside and do nothing my son
I've memorized the entire book and I've
learned everything but father you of all
people should know that I have so Barda
yes would you please bring out the
locked chest it seems the time has come
yes sir
leaf open the box
don't be afraid open it
it's the
it's the the belt at God it's the belt
of Deltora that's right I don't get it
why is it here long ago I lived in del
Valles and Don and I were brought up by
the same nursemaid you mean king end on
yes we were best friends when we were
younger
Jarrod recounted the years he spent
growing up with King Endon especially
the day the seven winged acababa
assaulted the palace that day I grabbed
the broken belt and helped King and Dawn
and Queen Sharn escape disguised they
left del to find a safe place to hide so
the King ran away not quite his first
priority was their safety because we all
knew that the Shadow Lord would be
searching for him we also knew that we
needed to keep the belt separate from
the king since the belt was broken in
the seven gems scattered it could no
longer be used to fight against the
Shadow Lord but even if the gems were
put back on the belt that's right
only the heir to the throne has the
ability to wield the belts power the
belt is bounced so closely to the blood
of Aden that should his bloodline run
out the belt would crumble into pieces
then there would be no end to this evil
age this could only mean King Endon is
still alive at the time that they fled
from Del Queen Sharn was with child so
when the gems are reunited with the belt
of Deltora only then can the successor
come out of hiding the magic of the gems
will bring forth the King's heir and Don
knew that he'd failed the belt and could
no longer call upon its power all our
hopes rest in the fate of his heir
then I must go I will find all seven
gems rebuild the belt and together with
our new king we will defeat the Shadow
Lord I will free Deltora once and for
all
mother please I knew this day would come
and yet I still can't bear the thought
of letting you go mother this is a map
of Deltora it is based on the stories
that travelers have told me over the
years the seven evil OCH baba controlled
by the Shadow Lord took the seven stones
to seven remote locations the lake of
Tears the city of the rats the shifting
sands dread Mountain the maze of the
Beast the valley of the Lost and lastly
the forest of silence those forests are
just northeast of down yes they are

jacket what you are to wear this at all

protect Deltora from evil has now been
entrusted to you Leif hmm
