The Horned Princess And The Witch

 

There was a princess, who was such a beauty to behold! She knew just how beautiful she was and how much she was sought after and how she not only hated it but could not stand it! She hated it because of the attention that it brought her. After all, all the men that demanded her hand in marriage did not extend it out of love but lust and she knew it.

This she did not want, no, all she wanted was to tuck herself in a corner in her royal library and lose her mind in the worlds hidden in the pages and locked away in those bulky blocks of paper. Where she would spend hours entranced by these worlds on end. 

It was in these pages that she learnt about a wish granting witch. She examined the book and soon learnt that the book was based on a true story. Feeling overjoyed she immediately tossed the book aside to look for the witch. She found the witch quicker than she thought that she would.

She soon told the witch that she wanted to be ugly and to go to a far off land. The witch patiently listened to the girl and neither interrupted nor questioned her. She listened in silence until the girl was finished. She then looked aside.

"I shall grant your wish, however in return you are to give me a life. A life that I can do with as I please. I shall take your memories too, as you will be able to live this new life fully in bliss. I will only wake the memories when it is time for me to take the life that has been promised to me. Now if you agree to these terms then I will give you horns in order to mark our deal. And these horns will only go when our deal is done or I die before then." She explained and the princess agreed without a thought.

The next moment the girl woke up in a cornfield feeling very free. She then started to run and dance. She was barely aware of her ugliness nor the horns that curled like a seashell covering her ears. She then started to sing while dancing.

This beautiful singing caught the attention of the farmour that worked in the fields. He noticed how happy and free she looked. He walked up to the princess feeling infected by the pure joy that she was displaying. 

"What is the source of your happiness?" He asked.

"I am free from everything terrible and yet I know not what! But I do not care what, for I am free! I am free! I am free!" She sang. 

Smiling to himself he took her to his home and sheltered her. As the year wore on the princess became a woman. Soon they fell deeply in love and with his fathers' permission they married. Then, they soon got to work on building a family and life was good. 

That was until the princess fell pregnant and gave birth to their first child. Then her memories returned. Now knowing what the witch meant and why her memories had returned, she immediately told her husband.

Together they made a plan for how to take this witch down and protect their son. Then husband and wife armed each other with whatever that they could find. Then they waited for the witch to come. It was not until midnight that the door opened. The witch had come. She walked in the hallway and made her way up the stairs. A opened the door to where the nersarary was. She did not see the princess standing next to the doorframe behind her. Nor did she see the dagger until her head rolled onto the floor.

This caused all the witch had done to the princess to be reversed. She soon transformed back into her beautiful self and the horns dropped. This felt her husband marvelling at her beauty as she disappeared and went back to her kingdom.

When she woke in her bed she soon begged her father to let her go and find her husband. This he agreed to, but she only had one year to do this. If she found him then they would have a public wedding, as to compensate for missing the official one, however if she faild to do so, then she was to annul the marriage and he would pick a new groom for her.

So she set off and searched and searched and after nine months she found him. They soon returned and her father smiled as she saw his grandson and his daughter happy. He soon had them have the public wedding with the best of the high priest married them.

Scar Parents Fight Part Three

  Hunter’s Defence  Scar opened her eyes. She then walked down the stairs. She slowly took out her homework, just to take her mind off the day before she started doing it. She started with her maths to fode her mind to focus. She then moved onto literacy. After she had done both her mind felt sharp and clear of all of the upset. She looked up, it was half past seven. She then took a slice of bread. She then put it in the toaster and pulled out a tin of beans. Half of them had already been eaten the day feforeshe then put it in the bowl and then put it in the microwave for a minute. As she waited she picked up a newspaper. Three women arrested. They claimed to be witches yet none have any drugs in their system. They were arrested  for killing four children. When asked why they claimed  it was to obtain power. So they've been arrested. Good! She heard the beeping and soon put the beans on the plate then took the toast out and soon took out a fork. After ripping the toast in half she

The Nine Dragons The Serpent Dragon Part Three

  The Boa Army Loc was working hard in the field. It was getting to evening time. She had found that she liked working there as a farmer. There was just something so satisfying in doing hard work and made the food taste better and she slept better too. She could see herself doing this for the rest of her life however long that would be, yet she knew that she could not. Regardless of how much she liked the village and the people there. She had noticed that the people there looked almost like the people in her world just without any pupils and they were weaker too. She also noticed that despite this, they were all hard working and nothing was eaten until they had done their work. During this time she had completely recovered her whole energy and strength from all of the battles that she had on that day. She had also been able to gather her thoughts and psychology recovered and was able to have her time of mourning her losses from her rebellion. Yet she found that this might have been due

Doormaze Drage The Purple Artefacts Part Six

 The Purple Monster  “Why?” “Open the book and put all of the other Purple Artefacts into the page that it fits.” Doormaze nodded as she opened the book. On the first page as a hole where she put the Purple Purl in. The page glowed and for a moment. When the glowing died down the purl was in the page, almost like a picture. She then turned another page. There was another hole with a flower hole in. She then placed the Purple Flower in. It glowed and soon the flower was in the book. She turned the page, where she placed the Purple Feather in.  Once it became a picture the book glowed. Soon light flooded the room. All had to close their eyes as the light became far too bright. Then Doormaze no longer felt the book in her hands. She opened her eyes to see a light above her hands almost like a miniature star. What is this? Then it became so bright she had to close her eyes again. Then she felt something covering her body. It felt light and comfortable. Her eyes opened to see that she was c

Doormaze Drage The Purple Artefacts Part Four

  The Purple Book They travelled down the cave in West Mountain for an entire day. Yet they did not leave until the following day. They left the cave to see a group of small houses. They were all small and in the style of King Garnet’s castle. “This is the abandoned town of Faiton. It’s here somewhere. So I think we will have to go in them to find it. You need not worry, there has not been a single person seen here in decades.” The other three nodded. “And what does this next artefact look like?” “It is a purple book. It is made from the same material as the crystal flower.” “Right. Then, let’s split up and explore every house.” Doormaze spoke, punching her fist. “And mark the door of the house that has been checked and leave the door open while it's being checked.” “Good thinking.” They all split and walked into the first house that was closest to them. They all started on the ground floor. Then the first floor and the second floor. Upon seeing nothing, they left the house. They p

Doormaze Drage The Purple Artefacts Part Three

  The Purple Flower They, because it was late when they reached the top chamber, decided to take a break. They lit a fire and, after cooking a small stew, started to eat. “Now, tomorrow, where to next?” “Well, Doormaze, we must travel over the Flower Bridge. It used tobe a small village on a large plot of land that the other mouth of the cave leads to. The houses were too and far between. It was mainly covered in many different purple flowers.” “And that’s why it’s called Flower Bridge?” “Well, that is because of the plot of land that joins the East Mountain, which we are in, and West Mountain, which is where the Purple Flower is in, is naturally formed.” “And there is nothing underneath it.” “No.” “Well,” She said, finishing her meal. “That’s something to sleep on.” After they all ate their meal,they went to sleep. Doormaze dreamed of Natalie again. She opened her, now dragon, eyes. She walked over to the dragons. They were sound asleep. She smiled as she turned away from them. She wa

Scar Parents Fight Part Four

  Mother’s Knife Scar woke. She saw Morara right in front of her. She dived back as she punched her. She tried to unbuckle, yet she noticed that she soon noticed that it was jammed. She tried to pull the belt but that too was jammed. She tried to pull it again and again and again but it did nothing. She looked up in fear as she saw the knife coming at her. She quickly dived out of the way then the knife turned to her. She tried to punch her but she caught her wrist. She tried to pull her hand out of her hand. Yet she was too strong. She saw the knife getting closer and closer. She hit the arm as hard as she could which made her drop the knife. She then finally pulled out more of her belt and fell out. She then felt a slit in her arm. She let out a whimper as she looked up at Morana went to stab her again and again. She kicked her again and again and again. She looked at both Alex, who was unconscious. She drove her hands to his belt and she pulled the belt and he hit his head as he fel

Scar Parents Fight Final Part

  Assassin’s Sacrifice  Charlotte, knowing that none of them had any time or chance to call an ambulance, ran. She knew where the hospital was and that none of them had any time to lose. She ran down the street as fast as she could. Yet it must have been obvious where she was running to as Morana looked at her innanyer and knew in that moment she would kill to stop her from going there.  Her parents had the exact expression on their faces when she had to stop pretending that she was a boy. After all, they always wanted a boy and when she was born a girl they tried to turn her into one. But the only thing that reminded them that she was a girl was her name, which they shortened to Charlie at one point. Just to keep the illusion that she was a boy alive in their deluded minds. The only thing that got her out of that situation was the series of dead girls that were her sisters and only one son being alive at the cost of her neglect. Van Kira, she remembered his name was. “Oh no you don’t!
