The Prince and the Cursed Daughter

             Prince Duncan rode his horse Clovis from castle Jaydon through the mountains and forest. He was on a mission to seek the Queen Avah Epona who lived in the Kingdom of Shellmont. His reddish blonde hair blew through the wind as he dodged branches from the trees. He was under competition with Prince Annelex  Cometrax of  Crescent Kingdom.  He was uncertain as to what he would do to win such heart of the queen. Slaying a dragon would do nicely if he knew where one could be found. He was a young man that had everything given to him. He shunned responsibility and commitment all the way up until now.  He heard that the great queen carried unimaginable powers of enlightenment that would enable him to conquer the world. The stories revealed she could see into the future and control the weather. He also wanted to satisfy his dirty sexual fantasies with her as well, surely she would like it that way.

            It was morning and the sun was still rising overhead as it did since the beginning of time.  He reached the end of the forest and came across the Magic River, which connected to The Giving Sea. The prince thought for a minute and decided to cross the river he was very egotistical.  It seemed to make more since than riding up stream to find himself stuck with a giant lake that would keep him from crossing.  Duncan shook the reins and heard the sound of his horse whicker as they rode close to the river.  The sound of water hitting rocks didn’t excite Clovis. There was twenty-feet of water in front of them. The young man got off his horse and walked the horse through the water. The water was cold and up to his shoulders, but they persistent as he was he proceeded through the river and came out of it cold and wet with his horse.  “If you would have let me ride you I wouldn’t be all wet, you stupid horse,” said the prince, but all he got was a horse laughing at him through it whicker sounds and grunts. Prince Duncan turned around towards the forest and saw a peculiar smoke. “You see that we have a lucky traveler to help me dry my clothes.”  Duncan walked over to his horse and pulled out a folded piece of paper from the leather purse near its ass. After unraveling it he folded it back up and realized that they were right on course and the direction of the smoke was in direct correspondence to the Kingdom of Shellmont. The prince climbed onto the horse and shook the reins so that he could investigate the strange smoke in the forest.
