A little king lived in his castle - the Darkness.

Every morning he would drink his black coffee and play chess with the black pieces. Life was perfect because nothing disturbed the Darkness, until a strange sound from behind his window robbed him of peace.

Very afraid of the outside world, he tried many ways to figure out the sound, but nothing worked in Darkness.

Life in the castle was no longer happy.

He eventually decided to overcome his fear and open the door.

This is how he discovers... light!
