[ WP ] A king is blessed with triplets . Rather than choose one as his heir , he separates the trio and sends each to a secluded island with a small retinue , to see which will grow up to be the most deserving of the throne .

The long waits for years to see his triplets all grown up. But, along the journey of waiting, a prophet comes up to him. The prophet tells him one of his triplets will kill him. The king is shocked, but graciously thanks the Prophet. 
 
 5 years later, the triplets all come back to him, and he is eager to meet them. The one triplet says that he learned how to rule, and trained to be a great ruler like his father one day. The 2nd triplet shows how he has gained incredible knowledge, and recites things the king does not even know of. Finally, the third triplet says he learned brute strength while training and shows his strength. 
 
 The last triplet picks up a spear and is excited to show his father his strength. The king goes to set up a target for him. His son says that he can hit the target moving, the King is amazed. He lets the spear go as it flies through the air. The Kings smile turns into a frown as he looks down and notices the spear sliced through his heart. `` Well shit.'' says the King. He drops dead, the end.
