The Magic Dust by E.E.Campbell |
|
“Before introducing my story I want to take this opportunity and say, this story is one from five other fantasy stories. In a couple of my stories Kings, Queens, Princesses and Princes are my leading characters, despite Que Sera, Sera (whatever will be, will be) with monarchs in this changing time. The stories without monarchs are about every day events and have their own frenzy build-up. All the stories are filled with their own extraordinary explosive uncertainly that will makes you eager to read the entire story through to see where it takes you to find the happy ending. Nevertheless I am focusing my attention on one of the stories. Before I introduce this spicy tale, let me point out that monarchy is my leading character with other fantasy characters. My story begins the original way like most fantasy stories do and has a twist of mystery inside that will cause nail biting. Also some humour pops up that even those with the most serious of faces will tingle a bit. The name of my story is named The Magic Dust which is also a comic that tells a daring story of a King named Acki who was faced with an enormous challenge; whether he must go to war against another presumptuous bald head King name Neeral with magic powers, who has a raging temper and was greedy….”
The Magic Dust Thus, King Acki is a ruler of a City named Tubboore that is beautiful and wealthy. Together with his Queen who is named Chyneta they have two beautiful daughters. The eldest is named Cora and the youngest named Kaia. As children Princess Cora and Princess Kaia speak of their future ambition when they grow up. The two Princesses also speak with their mother and father (the King and Queen) about their ambitions too.... On the twelfth birthday of Princess Cora, King Acki gives her a simple pendant to wear around her neck and tell princess Cora to wear the pendant at all times.... Then on the twelfth birthday of princess Kaia, King Acki also give her a simple pendant to wear around her neck, and also tells her to wear her pendant at all times.... As Princess Cora and princess Kaia get older they choose their own career and hobbies but they remain close like when they were children.... While on the other hand the fierce bald head King Neeral hears from his servants about Tubboore City and the wealth of the city, also about Tubboore City good hearted King named Acki. The unexpected news makes King Neeral grumble with jealousy because he had not heard about Tubboore City and King Acki before, besides the vast wealth that Tubboore City has.... Therefore King Neeral went quickly to a magic pool he has and asked it to show him Tubboore City.... After bubbling and swirling around for a couple seconds.. .the pool showed King Neeral Tubboore City. When King Neeral saw how beautiful and wealthy Tubboore City was, he staggered back with astonishment at seeing such a magnificent place.... The face of King Neeral became grim looking as he thought Tubboore City should be his... .such wealth would make him more powerful than any other person.... King Neeral thought further King Acki was a stupid faint hearted King.... And King Neeral hatched up a plan.... Then King Neeral raced to his private chamber to doll up, then put on his wig that he kept neat and tidy to wear at any emergency.... King Neeral smiled with satisfaction as he admired himself in the mirror for a few minutes.... Then King Neeral put on his savage appearance and went to summon one of his messengers named Arrow. Arrow was a person that wore his hair different and King Neeral found his hair style disgusting. When Arrow was before King Neeral, the King told Arrow firmly he was sending him to King Acki with an important message.... Immediately Arrow asked King Neeral for his gift or a letter to take for King Acki.... King Neeral became angry and swore at Arrow then sent him away fiercely with the message to King Acki. Arrow trembled as he ran from the presence of King Neeral. And was embarrassed to visit King Acki empty handed.... Nevertheless Arrow took the message to King Acki and when the King heard what King Neeral wanted, King Acki plunged into thought over the sudden change of heart of King Neeral since he heard many gruesome stories about him.... After a moment King Acki clears his throat and firstly apologizes to Arrow for his brief silence and adds that he is taken by surprise with the sudden message from King Neeral. Then continued that his eldest daughter was not of age to get married as yet and conveys his regrets to King Neeral in regards to his message.... Arrow became dismayed over the reply from King Acki as he comprehended immediately that King Neeral would become like a violent storm. However Arrow returns to Neeralla which was the name of the kingdom of King Neeral and Arrow gave impatient King Neeral the response from King Acki. Immediately King Neeral realizes his plan did not work but he wanted Tubboore City. King Neeral thought; if he cannot have Tubboore City neither could King Acki. Besides the refusal from King Acki made King Neeral even more aggressive and he roared and swore against King Acki, vowing to make Tubboore City desolate. In the mean time Arrow watched at the insane behaviour of his King for some seconds, then he left quietly.... After some minutes an enraged King Neeral chimed the war signal on the big iron plate, calling his men to assemble in the meeting hail. When the men were before their King, King Neeral sneered at them loudly that everyone must prepare for war against the greedy and vicious King Acki at once.... The same time Arrow was about to attend to his horse when he heard the heavy chime on the emergency iron plate. He stood still for a few seconds, sweating as he realized the signal for war and began to tremble.... Fred the horse saw how troubled Arrow became and realized that Arrow was frightened, but unknown to Arrow his horse could talk and Fred the horse thought he must do something to help his master.... Meanwhile at the palace of King Acki, Princess Cora went to her father and mother (the King and Queen) and told them she met Meta the Keeper of the Forest and she accepted his invitation to visit the Magic Garden. The Queen nodded slowly.. .and after a thoughtful moment King Acki agreed that princess Cora should keep her promise to Meta.... During the next day King Acki was in a melancholy mood and he went into the garden and sat on a rugged stone in deep thoughts.... After a while the fairy of the Garden of Mist where Princess Cora and her two servants named Symmie and Kanna passes through appeared before King Acki.... the fairy told King Acki to watch into the lake before him.... Seeing the fairy King Acki realized at once that princess Cora, Symmie and Kanna reached where they were going safely and he sighed with relief.... Afterward King Acki watched into the lake and saw Tubboore City was being attacked by King Neeral.... King Acki got up quickly and raced back to the palace and called an emergency meeting... .After that, messengers were sent out everywhere to warn the people of the arrival of the greedy King Neeral.... In the mean time as King Neeral was on his way to Tubboore City, another special city that has Guardians or holy people, the fairies from the Garden of Mist and Meta the Keeper of the Forest felt the great change that was foretold... and was about to descend everywhere. Whereby one by one these special people spoke about the impending change.... On the other hand after the frantic preparation for war, King Neeral and his army arrived at Tubboore City the next morning and they went and stood on a hill over-looking the city.... When King Neeral saw that Tubboore City was not beautiful as he had seen he boiled over with anger and King Neeral jeered and swears relentlessly at King Acki, the people and Tubboore City.... The men of King Neeral also joined in the verbal attack with their King.... The men murmured they were getting hot suddenly but they took no notice of the surrounding.... Finally Princess Cora, Symmie and Kanna began their journey back to Tubboore City again. They saw everywhere was affected by the great change they heard about. And Princess Cora, Symmie and Kanna marvelled at the sight before them and were filled with awe at the same time. After Princess Cora, Symmie and Kanna arrived back at the palace, the Princess rushed to find her parents (the King and Queen.)... Princess Cora found her family in the sitting room in a cheerful mood…. |
