Centuries ago, there was a mysterious power known as the "King of Sandal." Whoever possessed it gained strength far beyond ordinary humans.
But in a great battle, this power was stolen by Jabora, who became immensely powerful. On the other side, Liaqat fought for centuries with patience and determination until he finally reclaimed the power.

As time passed, every father, before his death, would test his son. The one who succeeded would inherit the "King of Sandal."
This tradition continued for generations.

But during the time of Abdullah, something changed. His sons failed the test. Forced by fate, he tested his daughter, Zainab. She passed — and thus became the heir to the "King of Sandal."

Zainab was only 11 years old when Jabora ibn Jabora (the great-grandson of the old Jabora) attacked her tribe. He captured everyone and demanded:
“Where is the King of Sandal?”

No one spoke. Jabora unleashed terrible cruelty — he lined up women, children, and elders before acid, threatening to throw them in if the truth wasn’t revealed.

At that moment, Zainab stepped forward and said:
“I know where the King of Sandal is — but first, release them all!”

Jabora laughed mockingly:
“What can a little girl possibly do?”

With courage in her voice, Zainab replied:
“This power was stolen from your great-grandfather. My grandfather reclaimed it. Then my father entrusted it to me. And I passed the test. That makes it rightfully mine!”

Enraged, Jabora roared:
“Your father should have killed you at birth. To give such power to a girl — that is the greatest foolishness!”

Tears welled up in Zainab’s eyes, but with unshaken resolve, she answered:
“Power is not about being a son or a daughter. It belongs to the one who has courage — the one who passes the test.”

Jabora was silenced. Zainab, with all her strength, attacked him and ultimately defeated him. Thus, the centuries-old feud came to an end.

From that day forward, Jabora’s tribe and Zainab’s tribe lived in peace.
And the world learned a timeless truth: real strength lies in courage and character — not in being a boy or a girl.
