C1 Chapter 1 : The First Clue to the Lost Sword

A city named Azamgarh, where a hidden mystery was about to be revealed.

It was midnight. The moon had disappeared behind the clouds, and darkness covered the land.

In the midst of this darkness stood an old wooden cupboard, filled with ancient books and papers.

An elderly man was searching through the cupboard. His wrinkled hands brushed against a very old book—one that held a secret forgotten by the world for centuries.

Trembling, the old man whispered, "Al-Amaanah... The time for the last heir has come!"

That old man was Sheikh Hamza, 81 years old. He had heard about the secrets of Azamgarh and the name of Ameer Tahir.

As he read the book, a hidden figure was secretly listening to him.

However, he couldn’t hear everything because Sheikh Hamza was reading in a low voice.

The man hiding near the door was none other than Ameer Tahir's spy.

Ameer Tahir's Conspiracy

Ameer Tahir was a tyrant who dreamed of ruling the world. He was searching for something deadly—something that could give him ultimate power.

Sheikh Hamza had finally discovered the path to the legendary sword because he had found a map in the book.

The spy also managed to catch a glimpse of the map.

Sheikh Hamza immediately sensed that someone was spying on him. But before he could react, the spy had already escaped to inform Ameer Tahir.

Upon hearing the news, Ameer Tahir gathered his men and marched toward Sheikh Hamza’s house.

Sheikh Hamza vs. Ameer Tahir

Sheikh Hamza, despite his old age, still had sharp eyes and a strong will.

As soon as he saw Ameer Tahir entering his house, he said angrinly,

"How dare you step into my house?"

Ameer Tahir laughed loudly and replied,

"Who are you to stop me? One day, I will conquer the world, just like Alexander the Great, and the whole world will bow before me… and you will show me the way, old man!"

Sheikh Hamza's anger grew,

"Your dream of ruling the world will remain just a dream! And what path are you talking about?"

Ameer Tahir narrowed his eyes and said,

"Al-Amanah! Where is it? Do you really think you are the only one who knows this secret? I have been searching for it for ten years! My search ends today!"

Sheikh Hamza replied in a cold voice,

"Don’t you dare take its name with your filthy tongue, Ameer Tahir! That sword will only belong to the last heir. The heir of Azamgarh is still alive, and I will tell you nothing!"

Ameer Tahir demanded the location of the map, but Sheikh Hamza refused to give any information.

Fortunately, Sheikh Hamza had already hidden the map before Ameer Tahir arrived.

Ameer Tahir Attacks Sheikh Hamza

Ameer Tahir lost his patience and shouted,

"If you won’t speak, I will get my answers my own way!"

He turned to his men and ordered,

"Search the entire house!"

While the soldiers ransacked the house, Sheikh Hamza attempted to escape.

Ameer Tahir and his men chased after him.

The soldiers were carrying a deadly weapon—a special pin that could be thrown from a distance to paralyze the target.

Several of these pins struck Sheikh Hamza, injuring him severely.

Though weakened and bleeding, Sheikh Hamza managed to hide in a narrow alley inside an abandoned house.

Ameer Tahir’s men couldn’t find him and eventually left the area.

Now, Sheikh Hamza had only one mission—to find the last heir before it was too late.

Ali's Entry

The next day – afternoon.

A 20-year-old young man named Ali was walking through the market. He was the son of a merchant—kind-hearted, honest, and always ready to help others.

But Ali was not satisfied with his life.

He always felt that he was meant for something greater, that one day, he would achieve something legendary.

As Ali was walking, an injured old man suddenly collapsed in front of him.

It was Sheikh Hamza.

Sheikh Hamza, in a weak voice, whispered,

"Ali... you are the last heir... The sword... Al-Amaanah... You must find it..."

Ali was shocked.

"What sword? What is Al-Amaanah? The last heir? I don’t understand anything!"

Ali shook Sheikh Hamza, hoping for more answers.

But Sheikh Hamza, severely wounded, took his last breath and died.

Now, Ali’s mind was filled with endless questions.

The First Attack on Ali

A crowd gathered around the scene.

Someone from the crowd suddenly shouted,

"Ali! What have you done? Did you kill this old man?"

Ali desperately tried to explain that he was innocent.

After some time, the people believed him, but Ameer Tahir’s spies were already there, watching everything.

The spies began to follow Ali.

As Ali headed home, the spies attacked him.

Ali somehow managed to escape and hid inside a narrow alley, inside an old house.

The spies couldn’t find him and eventually left.

Now, Ali felt trapped in a dangerous mystery.

Sheikh Hamza’s final words echoed in his mind:

"Al-Amaanah... The last heir..."

What Will Happen Next?

Will Ali find the answers to his questions, or will he become even more confused?

Will Ameer Tahir discover the truth about Ali?

Can Ali unravel the secret of Al-Amaanah before it’s too late?

Who really was Sheikh Hamza? Did he truly die from the pin attacks, or is there more to his death?

And how did he know Ali’s name?

So many questions remain unanswered...
