The Valley of the Five Lions: Act III: For King and Country

In the dreaded Panjshir Valley of Afghanistan, the shroud of death lurks around every corner. The Panjshir Valley has stood the test of time, dubbed the most unconquerable battleground in the world. If not the scorching 120-degree Sunlight, then the menacing mosquitos. If not the mosquitos, then the poison from a Saw Tailed Viper. If not the venom of the Viper, then the sting of the Deathstalker Scorpions. A new peril has infested Afghanistan, this plague is unlike any other before it. On 255 BCE, the Sassanians have invaded Afghanistan. The Sassanians are set on a warpath to systematically destroy, pillage and plunder all of the villages. Village after village, they pressed the attack with little resistance. That is until, they picked the wrong Village. Abdul-Ahad, the son of the Blacksmith, lives in a small village at the bottom of the Panjshir Valley. In response to the attacks on his Kingdom, the King has sent his five most ferocious fighters in the land, his Five Lions, to go defeat the horde of Sassanians. For centuries, Afghanistan has repelled the Maurya Empire, the Ancient Macedonian Empire of Alexander the Great, the Rashidun Caliphate, the Mongol Empire led by Genghis Khan, the Timurid Empire of Timur, the Mughal Empire, and now the Sassanians from the far East. All that stands between the total destruction of the Kingdom are the King’s Five Lions.
