This is the Queen’s True Story – Written as a Fantasy
Part two
During the years to come in the Magical Realm things started to crumb apart. All that was the Princesses happy life, started to fall apart. The King and Queen came upon troubled times and were soon parted.
The Princess was heartbroken as she thought at that time she was the cause of it all and because she was still young and knew no better. The Princess had witnessed a deed and when she proclaimed it must be mended it seemed as if that was the beginning of the end of this realm. Shortly after it was proclaimed by the Queen that the Prince and Princess were to go with the King to a far of land leaving the Queen behind.
While in this far off land the Princess started her search, but she doth not know what she was in search of. As she was still in her teens she doth not know her own self yet. She wanted to find the love that she felt when she was younger, but she doth looked in the wrong places. She doth became a wild one for a time.
At first the Princess was just wild, and then she got wild about jousting Knights and ran into this first Knight. During one such joust there came along this Knight with his red flaming hair. The Princess hath dubbed him “Sir Red”. Sir Red doth ask to court the Princess.
At that time thou would have seen the Princess taken to several the ball dances where she doth dance the night away. This was a time of merriment and fun. Later in time there were plans made to wed, but the King put his foot down and soon put a stop to this, as the King felt his princess was to young to even think about such things at her age.
Later the parents of Sir Red were taken by dragons to another realm. The dragons also took the Knight with them far away across the great seas. All seemed lost for the Princess, or so it seems, but that will be revealed later in this fable.

The wizard’s apprentice was working,
as his master often made him,
on gathering herbs and cooking meals
and whatever else he bade him.
So much was the apprentice’s labor
that he seldom had time for sleep.
while his master slept in a nice warm bed,
he had to bed down with the sheep.
One day while the Wizard was brewing
a particularly potent brew,
the wizard’s apprentice snook off for a nap
for only a moment or two.
He woke up to hear an angry voice
calling out his name.
It was the voice of the wizard, saying
“Boy! get me some wolf bane!”
“We are out of it” the boy replied,
“will Saint John’s Wort suffice?”
“NO!” said the wizard “go get some,
and don’t make me tell you twice!”
So the weary young apprentice
went out in the woods to find
the magical ingredient,
before his master lost his mind.
While out in the woods he spotted
a wolf bane plant he sought
but its leaves were dry and withered
‘this will have to do’, he thought.
So he gathered up the wolf bane
and took it back to the mage.
but when the wizard saw it
he nearly went into a rage.
“You call this wolf bane, you thick-headed lunk?
’tis nothing but dry leaves and sticks.
go and get me another, boy,
and for your sake, make it quick!”
At this the boy turned angry
and his courage boiled over his head.
“Why should I work so hard for you?”
said the boy, though he trembled in dread.
The wizard scowled at him fiercely.
“dare you question me?” he spoke.
“do you not know what I’ll do to you,
if you think this is some kind of joke?”
“I do not!” the boy answered,
“but I do have some complaints.
I haven’t slept in so very long
I am almost ready to faint.”
“You promised me you would teach me,
as long as i did behave.
but so far all have done with me
is use me for a slave.”
“You make me gather, you make me cook,
you make me feed all your stock.
you make me write ’til my fingers bleed
and my head feels like a big rock.”
“When will you teach me some magic?”
said the apprentice, expecting a blow,
but the wizard’s eyes were kinder as
he said “There’s something you should know.”
“I HAVE been teaching you magic,
though you didn’t see it then.
but give me a minute to explain
and I shall show you when.”
“Remember when i taught you to cook
and to follow a recipe?
I was teaching you how to make potions
it is all the same, you see.”
“And when I taught you to gather
the roots and herbs that I use,
I was teaching you to identify them
and know the best ones to choose.”
And when i taught you to handle
all the different kinds of beasts,
I was teaching you be patient,
a lesson you’ve learned the least.”
“And when I made you write and recite
those poems that made you so bored,
i was teaching you how to scribe your spells
and how to store and record.”
“Being a wizard’s not all fun and games
it’s work, and a great deal of that!
did you think it was all cute little tricks
and wearing a pointed hat?”
“Before you even start with the spells
you must know what you are doing.
too little knowledge is dangerous
and well could be your undoing!”
“Now go and get me some wolf bane,
a good one this time, please,”
and the humbled apprentice went back to the woods
a little weak in the knees.

This is the Queen”s True Story – Written as a Fantasy
Part eight
Well the Queen is now at her Brother’s Realm and trying to get herself back to normal. The Queen is determined not to be depressed by earlier events and starts on the road to get there.
After a time the Queen finds a new wizard and this wizard shows her that she can talk long distances to other realms. The Queen is excited and gives it a try, matter of fact she spends hours with this new toy chatting with many people around the world. The Queen also starts a new job in order to fund her new life. This new job keeps her busy, but her boss is a tyrant.
After some time goes by the Queen started chatting with one Knight of a neighboring realm, he seems like a happy fellow. He makes her laugh most every day. And this is just what the Queen thinks she needs: More Laugher in her Life.
One day while she was at work this Laughing Knight surprised her by coming to visit her. He tells her that he wants to show her his Realm. Well at this point the Queen got worried a bit but the Laughing Knight told her she would be ever so safe. So she went with him to his realm.
While in the new realm the Queen was happy and laughed every day, so much that the Queen did not want to leave. The Laughing Knight told her to stay and she did. All seemed wonderful at the time, but little did the Queen know the Laughing Knight was Laughing on the outside but Evil on the inside. She also did not realize that the wonderful feelings she was having would later go away because she also had not full dealt with her past.
But for now the Queen was happy and full of laughter, so when the Laughing Knight asked for her hand she was willing to give it. The date was set and the family and friends told and invited to the gala event. And what a gala event it was, as the event was held in the new castle and it was filled to the brim with everyone around.
For many years the Queen was happy and content, then slowly little things happened that showed her that the Laughing Knight was not as he seemed. Over time she would find maidens in her castle and the Laughing Knight flirting away with them. The Queen tried so very hard to dismiss these things as nothing and go on with her life.
One day the Queen became very sick, and the Laughing Knight took her to see many wizards to find out what the trouble was. The common Wizards could not help the Queen, and one even said she was crazy in the head. This was all proved wrong by one great Wizard that soon cured the Queen. But during this time of sickness the Laughing Knight showed his very evil side. The Laughing Knight brought in an Evil Witch into their life. This Evil Witch’s only goal was the demise of the Queen. She did many horrible things to the Queen, which included trying to get the Common Wizards to commit the Queen into an insane realm. The Queen was even sure the Evil Witch had tried to poison the Queen. And the Queen was positive the Evil Witch had poisoned the Laughing Knight, if not by drugs, surely by tongue. Whenever the Evil Witch spoke it was pure Evil, and she also was an apprentice wizard so she knew many ways to cast her evilness onto unsuspecting Queens.
Shortly after the Queen was cured, the Laughing Knight took ill, and to this day the Queen is totally sure it was the doing of the Evil Witch. But it was not all the Evil Witch as the Laughing Knight could now not hold back his own true evil. Out of the woodwork came all his mistresses and maidens to visit him while he was in the Wizard’s Hall. The Queen from this day forward had no peace. She was tormented by the Now Evil Knight and all his Ladies. The Master Wizard told the Queen that the Knight has now changed due to the illness and perhaps in time when he recovered he might be restored to his old self.
Well the Queen made a vow to wait for at least six months before doing anything, even though all her friends told her to leave and run away. No one could understand how the Queen could stand to live with this Knight the way he is now. But the Queen waited to see if he changed back. The next seven months were pure living hell on the Queen; because the Knight had no regard for the Queen’s feeling and starts parading his mistress’s right in front of her. The Knight did ever thing he could to drive the Queen away, but the Queen had made a vow to herself she would stay at least six months.
Well as the seventh month came, the Queen could take no more and her vow was complete. The Queen left the not so Laughing Knight and moved in with a friend. Now the Knight was free to let his mistresses come and go as he pleased. They all fought over the Knight, but little did they know his true evilness, but the Queen knows and bids them all their own hell in time. The Knight soon demands the Court to make the marriage closed, and not one day goes by when the Knight re-marries one of the little winches that is half his age.
The Queen once out of the turmoil and Knight’s life she finds a new true internal happiness that she has never known before. This happiness she finds does not come from anyone else but herself. Of course the Queen can’t say she just happened upon this, as it took a while talking to counsel and looking inside her to find this happiness. The Queen now knows the happiness was truly always there within her, she just aloud outside forces to tarnish it. So for the time being the Queen has decided to purchase herself a new Castle and live the way that make her happy.
This is not to say the Queen is now alone, as she is not for there is Romantic Knight, but alas that is another fable.

This is the Queen”s True Story – Written as a Fantasy
Part seven
As you know if you have been reading this story up to now, the Queen did not live happily ever after. Now for a while things seemed to be going fine and even when the Queen’s step daughter came to live with them things seemed to be going well. But little did the Queen know that evil lurked just around the corner and within her own realm. But I am getting a bit ahead of myself.
At the time the King and Queen were married the Queen owned a shop that provided entertainment for many travelers of the realm. The King found he loved the shop and began helping when and where he could in the shop. The son also loved to help in the shop. So all was well in the Land of Enchantment.
Suddenly the King proclaimed the shop had to be sold and we were to move to a Realm closer to his sister as his sister had wonderful things for them all. So the shop was put up for sale to its previous owners and off the King, Queen and son moved to a new Realm.
Little did the King and Queen know at the time, but the Evil Court Lawyer was double crossing the Queen and the shop was not sold but it was stolen by the lawyer and the previous owners and the now large debt owed was still owed by the Queen. This made the Queen in a penniless state.
And if this was not bad enough they arrived to the new realm only to find the sister had lied. There were no new and wonderful things waiting for them in this new realm. The evil sister now proclaimed her new intentions. She wanted slaves to do her bidding. The evil sister had wanted a maid and handyman for her realm and nothing more. Well the Queen stomped her foot down and said she was having no part of this and convinced her King it was better to live in the poor house than to be his sister’s slave.
So the King and Queen and the children found an old house and started a new life. And life was not bad for, hard yes but not bad. After a few years and things got better the King and Queen found a new and wonderful Victorian Realm to call home. Soon after moving the son was of a rebellious age and managed to get himself into some trouble. In order to keep him out of total trouble he moved away from home for a while.
After a while news had arrived at the castle of the King’s daughter, so the Queen set out to locate her Step-daughter for her King. When she was found this poor child had been abused by others so the Queen soon took control of things and brought this young child to live in the new Realm.
At the point this child came to visit in the enchanted realm we lived in a very large Victorian Castle and she soon claimed a large chamber for herself. For many years all seemed happy in this new Realm and even the son came home to live again within the realm.
Then suddenly the King again proclaimed it was time to move. This time they were to move near his father’s realm and again there were wonderful plans ahead. The King had enlisted in a new job and they were going to relocate the family. The family even was to have a new house waiting for them in this new realm.
Well once the Queen moved and saw the house for the first time she cried. She had given up her beautiful Victorian house for this small dwelling that was just barely fit to even call a house. The Queen was dismayed but decided to make the best of thing a make this house a home. Soon after that the son went off to war, so the only ones left were the King and Queen and the King’s daughter which was now about teen-aged.
For the next year there were things that happened that did not seem right, it was nothing the Queen could put her finger on, just mostly feeling that things were just not right. The King had lost his job, but it was something more than that. As much as the Queen tried to figure it out she just never could figure it out. The Queen also had some personal issues that did arise, but those were soon fixed, but she could never shake the feeling something was horribly wrong, but she never could figure out just what it was.
Then suddenly one night the King and his daughter had a fight! And the whole evil story came to light! The King had abused his daughter! The Queen was heartbroken. The Queen soon sent the child to safety before the King could do anymore harm and just then the Queen suddenly found that the King had escaped the law and disappeared.
The Queen was alone suddenly, she had no family nor friends near her and she was penniless as the King had stolen all the funds they had and she had no way to earn funds. As far as the queen was concerned this was the lowest point in her life. Nothing could be as bad as this time was. The Queen planned her demise, but as things turned out it was not in the cards for her demise. Instead her son came home from war and saved her.
At this point her son took her home to her father’s realm where she would be cared for and the son went back to the war front. And this is the point I will say….. To be continued later in the next part of the Queen’s Fable.
