As the story goes, the foreign Prince Zahhak is swayed by the devil to murder his crowned father and usurp the thrown. Soon after, the crowned Zahhak is duped again by the devil whose seemingly respectful kisses turn into monstrous snakes that grow out of the king’s shoulders. The Serpent King grows infamous through out the land for his treachery and oppression of the known world. He rules for one thousand years before a noble and valiant young Iranian man named Feraydun gains the strength and army to defeat the unjust King.
