Some time ago there
was a village. The town was called Anonymous. Their king was named Unknown and
the queen was named Unaware. They had
one daughter named Foreign who they were very proud of. She was a beautiful and
kind young girl, but had a terrible curse. Foreign wasn’t scared of anything.
Literally. Nothing frightened her when she went to sleep when she wondered
around in the woods or even when a nasty bug started crawling on her shoulder.
Though she didn’t know this curse. Her parents tried to not tell her. Foreign
was a very curious girl so sometimes she would curiously ask why her Mother
would be so scared of a bug because she simply never experienced that. She
nearly forced her Father to teach her to fight for herself and hold a dagger
like she could hold a spoon. Fighting, her Father worried a lot about her. He
never knew when one day her curiosity could take her anywhere like far away
from him. This was Unknown and Unaware first and only child so they wanted to
protect her as much as they could. Although Foreign wanted to fight and travel
around more she understood and lived life like a happy little bird.
Now you might
think Unknown, Unaware, and Foreign had a perfect life, but that didn’t work
around their house, or castle I suppose.
Unknown had a brother. They loved each other and did everything
together. Her Mother always smiled when she saw them playing together, eating
together, talking, walking, studying, everything they did together! Life was
wonderful and joyous! They never fought they never had a disagreement. Unknown
was the youngest and Popular was about two years older than him, but the age
separation didn’t matter to them.
When both of them
got older including their Father and Mother something tragic happened. Unknown
and Popular’s father was growing old and weak. Laying down in his bedside, he
spoke to Popular asking him to be the king once he died. Poplar couldn’t
believe. The wealth, the fame, and the love he would get if he was king. He
happily accepted, but did not mention it to his brother for he knew he’d get
jealous and mad at his brother. That night when their whole family gathered
together to celebrate and mourn over Unknown and Popular’s fathers life they
finally had to say goodbye. As their Mother cried and almost died herself
Popular drowned in his wealth and didn’t even care about his Mother, brother,
Dad, or anybody but him. Unknown wept not only because of his Father’s death
but because of his brother. For he was not jealous. He sorrowed because of his
vain character. Unknown never knew Popular as who he was now. For four more
years he lived with his vain brother and his sorrowful Mother. When he turned
nineteen years old he said farewell and fled to live a better life and indeed
he did.
Unknown never
would have never dreamed of becoming a king. He in fact was scared and didn’t
want to. When Unknown went on this journey at age nineteen he met a very old
man. His name was Cornelius the fourth. Cornelius told Unknown about how he was
a king and drowned in his wealth just like Popular. His wife and his two
daughters hated him. Well, they loved him, but hated his pride. They finally
decided to flee away from Cornelius and find another life. They wouldn’t be as
wealthy. They would be sorry and regretful sometimes but they just hoped he
would call them back and learn his lesson. That’s what he did. He learned that
his fame and wealth never even compared to the relationship with his family.
After that he gave the throne to someone else and lived a different life. A
life he hadn’t lived before. Ten years later his wife and daughters all died
because of a serious and dreadful famine. Cornelius wept and wept until he
almost died. Though he still lives but not in the most happy way. He lived in
pain.
Aw! It's such a cute little story! :)
ReplyDeleteTHANKS! Glad you like it! Anything I could improve on?
ReplyDeleteHmmm, nothing that comes to mind this instant. I thought it was good. I liked the simplistic style you wrote it in, and the names you gave the characters make me really curious. Good job!
