1. In a Land Far Away...

It is said some lives are linked across time,
Connected by an ancient calling that echoes through the ages,
Destiny.

Prince of Persia Movie

Long ago, in a land far away,
there once rose an empire, that stretched from the steppes of China,
to the shores of the Mediterranean.
That empire was Persia.
Fierce in battle, wise in victory,
where the Persian sword went, order followed.
The Persian King Sharaman,
ruled with his brother Nizam upon the principles of loyalty and brotherhood.
The King had two sons who gave him great joy.

King Sharaman:
Rejoice!

But in the eyes of the gods, the King's family was not yet complete.
Not until the day he witnessed a single act of courage
by an orphan boy from the streets of Nasaf.

Soldier:
Get out of the way!

Dastan:
Stop! Stop!
Run!
Run, Bis! Run!
Stay here.

Soldier:
He's getting away!

Dastan:
Let go of me!

Soldier:
In the King's name!

King Sharaman:
What is your name, boy?

Dastan:
Dastan, Sir.

King Sharaman:
And your parents?
Boy...

King Sharaman:
Brother, take him up.

Moved by what he saw, the King adopted the boy Dastan into his family.
A son with no royal blood, and no eye on his throne.
But perhaps, there was something else that worked that day.
Something beyond simple understanding.
The day, a boy from the unlikeliest of places,
became...
a Prince of Persia.
