Complication
The complication is the central problem or conflict that arises in a story, usually as a result of the main character's actions or decisions. It creates tension and drives the plot forward by presenting obstacles that the characters must overcome in order to reach a resolution.
In the story of Prince Bantugan, the complication arises when the prince's kingdom is attacked by their enemies, the kingdom of Kaampong. Prince Bantugan is caught off guard and is unable to defend his kingdom, leading to him being poisoned and falling into a coma. This sets the stage for the resolution of the conflict in the story.
No, the complication and rising action are not the same. The rising action is the series of events that build tension in a story leading up to the climax, while the complication is the problem or conflict that arises to challenge the main character or protagonist. The complication is usually a key element of the rising action that propels the narrative forward.
