A boy called Arash lives in the city of Ray in Ancient Persia. His wish is to shoot an arrow across the Oxus River to mark the border of Persia. Doing so will free Persia from the rule of Tooran.
His father, Abteen, decides to show Arash the family treasure, which turns out to be an arrow, made almost entirely of gold. Abteen says the arrow was given to his great-grandfather by King Hooshang, the Fire King himself! Legend has it that Simorgh, Queen of Birds, had given Hooshang a magical arrow containing fire powder. Could this be the arrow?
