Synopsis

King Magic States, obsessed spirit of the times and the Kingdom of ambition, decides to build a large dangerous plant in a city. A Factory. The lieges honestly work at the production, despite the harmful and dangerous working conditions.

The wicked fairy decides to destroy the magic state with the help of a curse. King loses its power, the plant is closed and comes into disrepair.

At the old place, a new state, came to power a new king.

The roof of a great danger machine breaks down, and hundreds of tons of mercury are filled through the plant.

The plant turns into poisonous Octopus with mercury tentacles of death, which penetrate into the ground, metal structures and actively evaporate, especially in hot weather.

Megapolis, meanwhile, continues to grow, offices? trade and art centers continue to build around the crash site.

And what about the kings? They quietly closed Octopus with a fence from prying eyes, destroy clear evidence of its toxicity. Now Plant Octopus – no more than a fairy tale, myth, and even completely unknown to the public the history of the entire city.

At that time gullible townspeople are very close, they shop, work, do exhibitions and picnics, sit in the offices and store goods in warehouses in the vicinity of the deadly Octopus, who continues to do its deadly work.

And the kings are silent, and people breathe, and Octopus lives. Whether in a fairy tale, or in myth.
