Project Synopsis
Set in a Middle Eastern country in the 17th century, Raid is a master of war and loyal to his country, but he suspects the king he believes in is responsible for the murder of his brother. His personal strength is not able to fight against the whole country, so in order to find out the truth and revenge for his brother, he is willing to contribute his soul to the three witches to complete the ritual to obtain the legendary dark power. Though he fought against this force with the strength of his humanity and his soul, revenge drove him to kill the king he once believed in in return for the betrayal of someone closer to him. This betrayal made him completely give up his humanity and reason, and completely become the legendary demon.
Additional Information & Safety Protocols: 

For our story, we need stunts. At present, only some small actions are not very difficult, but we will still pay a certain amount of insurance for each stuntman and Catering.
