Video - Roderic's Defiance: The Spark of Rebellion Against King Scares

The crowd hushed as King Scares raised his scepter, eyes gleaming with malevolence. Beneath him knelt Roderic, a defiant thief whose fate now hinged on royal decree. "For crimes against the crown," Scares bellowed, "you shall meet the Serpent's Kiss." The pit opened, revealing writhing vipers. Roderic's heart pounded, but he locked eyes with the king. "May justice find you," he spat. Lowered into the pit, he felt the first bite and darkness crept in. As the crowd dispersed, a whisper spread—Roderic's courage had sparked a rebellion. King Scares felt a chill, realizing not all punishments silenced dissent.
