Born under a dark prediction, the prince’s destiny is marked by three creatures: a dog, a snake, and a crocodile, each lying in wait to bring about his demise. Despite his royal parents' efforts to protect him, the prince embarks on a journey of freedom and adventure, only to find himself face-to-face with the very threats foretold. Will he escape the fate woven for him by the goddesses of destiny, or will he fall to one of these sinister creatures?
