Fairytale (Draft)

Once upon a time, there was a race other than humans living on this Earth, far back, before the dinosaurs. Their name was the Asters. How do I know this, and not any scientist? It’s because I found a book on them - a book like no other. A book which recounts a tale of bravery and love. I have transcribed the images of the book into words for your pleasure.

There was once a kingdom called Baskerville, which was right on the edge of a huge country called Georgia. It was protected by a special spell which kept all the evil outside of the barrier and into the dense forest covering the entire land around it. In the heart of the city, there was a majestic castle, high up in the mountains, in which lived a very nice King and Queen. They took care of the rich and the poor, trying to spread equality all over the place. But the two also had to place strict rules around the kingdom so that nothing bad could happen. Magic was banned, and if you got caught using it, you would be sent straight to gaol.

They had 3 sons, Sans, Serif, and Verdana. These boys grew up to be the most valiant fighters anybody had ever known. They ventured out into the forest, something no one had ever tried before. When they went out on an adventure, they came across many monsters which used magic as their weapons. Yet they fought against them using swords and shields.

On the other side of the village, there was a poor blacksmith’s family, who had 3 daughters called Helvetica, Lucida, and Myriad. These 3 girls grew up to be hard-working women. They supported their parent's by finding jobs around town and earning the money they all lived off. They all loved fighting. Each one of them had their own sword, which fit them ‘just right,’ and practiced using them against each other. People called the girls silly for picking up such manly weapons. But they didn’t care.

One day, when the princes were outside the kingdom’s border, they got severely hurt by a pack of 3 dragons. They rode back on their horses, wounded, and couldn’t do anything except eat and sleep for the next 3 days. This attack scared everyone living in the kingdom. Everyone knew it. Their magic was getting stronger by the day.

3 months later, the kingdom was struck by a massive attack. 3 dragons and 3 giants all came from the forest and tore down the outer walls of the city. They could not advance further, because of the spell, but they still posed a threat to the city. No one dared fight back. No one, except 3 young girls, and 3 young boys.

“What are you 3 doing here?” Sans asked the girls.

“Doing what we think is right,” Lucida replied.

“You’re...girls. You can’t fight.” Verdana said. “You should go back to your house. We’ll handle this.”

“You wanna fight us?!” Helvetica angrily asked.

“Pfft...fight you?! What a joke.”

“GUYS! Can’t you see what’s happening here?! We’re being attacked! Stop fighting. Ladies, please go back home. We have this under control.” Serif was the more sensible out of the 3 princes. Myriad, the eldest of the sisters, gestured them away from the now torn down wall.

The knights fought with all their strength. They used spears, bows and arrows, and most of all, their swords and shields. The dragons used fire against them, whereas the giants used earth. Their weapons were made out of the finest metals in the country, and were enchanted so that they could resist magic. Serif hurtled a spear towards the last giant. Slice. Right through it’s chest. But it didn’t die instantly. It first threw the spear back towards Verdana. And then it fell to the ground, along with its 5 other friends. The ground shook as it hit the ground.

It gained speed as it streaked towards him. And then out of nowhere, a sword came out and hit the spear, breaking its path towards the prince. Helvetica walked out from behind a building to the side of them.

“Oh. My. God. I cannot believe you just saved me,” Verdana said.

“Your welcome…” Helvetica replied sarcastically.

“Oh right. Thanks.”

“Your welcome…”

The 3 knights went to the 3 blacksmith’s daughters house. They got to know each other very well, and had a liking for each other. Sans felt like Myriad had a lot in common with him, Verdana spent his time practising fighting against Helvetica, and Lucida and Serif both talked and talked about magic.

A few months later, they all got married, and in the end, they lived happily ever after.

Reader, there might be many questions in your mind right now. What happened to the Aster’s? What happened to their kingdom and land? Well, the truth is, no-one knows. This book is the only source of their existence and there isn’t anything about what happened after this tale. I am putting this book away now, locking it for the next to find it. I hope this tale lasts.
