Description

This is my entry for the Books into Disney Movies contest at Disney-Club.

Poem

Home is behind, the world’s ahead,
The Rivan King will come to light,
Through many perils and dangers unknown,
He shall arise victorious and fair. 

Prophecy dictates he is not alone,
There’s the Eternal Man, Knight Protector and Guide,
Dreadful Bear, Horse Lord, Archer and all,
The One with Two Lives and Queen of the World,
Blind Man and Mother of the Race that Died. 

Home is behind, the world’s ahead,
The Rivan King will come to light,
A battle shall rage, two prophecies will meet,
One shall win and the future is born.

  

Plot

The Belgariad is a five-book fantasy epic written by David Eddings. The series follows the adventures of Garion as he seeks to fulfil the prophecy of the preliminary battle between the Child of Light and the Child of Dark and restore balance to the world.

Many years ago, when the world was made, an evil God named Kal Torak stole from his brother God an orb. The orb came from the Earth and when Torak tried to use it, it scolded him, burning his face and hand. Years later Belgarath, a disciple of the Brother God Aldur, stole back the orb and peace was restored while the maimed God slept.

Garion is a young man living on Faldor’s farm with his Aunt Pol. His life is turned upside down when the all-powerful Orb of Aldur is stolen for evil once again. With a number of companions, he travels across the Kingdoms of the West to recover it. Unbeknownst to Garion is his part in an ancient prophecy which details how he shall be the Child of Light who shall one day face Torak, Child of Dark.

Inspiration

The inspiration for the movie poster came from the poster for Divergent. I loved the body positions of the main characters and thought with some adaptation I could fit an owl (Polgara) and a wolf (Belgarath) in as well.

I would love for this to be a series! But maybe not Disney. They've been going downhill quite rapidly. With exceptions.
