A Twisted Fairy Tale

Our cast of characters...

She ran, without proper protection against the elements, until her limbs froze and she fell in the snow...ready to die and escape the pain of her life. She did not know however, that one of the dragons that all thought dead during the great wars had been watching her since she was a small girl...realizing that this one woman held the power of the dragons, and could thus call them to her. This woman perhaps has the power to save us all, the old dragon thought as he looked down at her, and perhaps kill the humans that had taken so many of their numbers. He called upon one of his comrades, the Storm Fairy, to lighten the storm enough so that he could take the creature back with him to his lair in the mountains. There the princess recovered her physical strength, but nothing the dragon master could do could take away her hatred and pain that the young prince had wrought on her heart. Realizing that she could understand and talk to the dragons she then learned their ways and denounced her human heritage. She embraced the ways of the dragons and started to build up a blockade to stop them from being invaded by the outside world...to protect the rest of the dragons from the inevitable exinction if she did nothing...and she refused to think of the world outside her home, content to fly on the dragons' backs and while away her days arguing philosophy with the dragon King, Locksteed.

While she was gone she did not realize the tragedy that had unfolded in her absence. The King and Queen had finally had a child whom they named Christopher. Good Prince Christopher was a beautiful child, and the proud parents planned a party in his honor...the celebration was short lived, for lurking in the shadows was the evil Fairy Lord Ensabanar, who knowing that the prince would one day destroy him, cast a curse on him...a disease that would eventually kill the prince. The parents watched in horror as their son slowly died before them. The king was finally left alone with his son and was about to tell him his final goodbyes, when suddenly the room filled with a magnificant brilliance and floating before them was the good Fairy Queen, Rachel. Rachel looked down at the child, and loving the King and Queen like her own parents she gave the Good King a way to save his son...she would take the child far away, and break the curse over him so that he would survive, but no one must ever know that the child had not died in the chamber that day. Not knowing what else to do the King agreed, and watched as his child and a good portion of his heart and soul left with the fairy queen.

The "death" of the prince threw the kingdom into chaos and for many years it reigned, but then something happened to make all of the players and characters come into the game...the ultimate game between good and evil.

The whole series of events started when a dark knight realized the error of his ways and turned to the side of good. The knight, simply going by the name of Wisdom, refused to kill the Good King when ordered to by his bosses in an evil army for the Evil Fairy King. The Evil Fairy King tried to have him killed, but he the knight managed to use his enchanted sword at the last moment to teleport into the mountains. Gravely injured, the knight waited for death to claim him, and finally lost consciousness. He was unprepared when he awoke to find a woman standing above him. Reaching for his sword he was prepared to defend himself, but the woman just laughed with a touch of bitterness, "Don't worry about it warrior. I won't harm you. I simply go by the name of The Dragon Lady...and you???" He was impressed with the woman's visage, which, while scarred slightly was still beautiful he answered, "I am called Wisdom." He then, at her prompting told her about all that had happened past the point she had left, he not knowing who she was or how she came to be where she was now. She waited until the end of the story and then looked to the Dragon Master, her distress portraying itself to him, "I do not care for the affairs of most of the outside world, but I DO care for the Good King and Queen...they were my friends Locksteed...what should I do...from what this man tells me the evil is spreading and will soon reach here whether we like it or not...we got to do something to stop the eventual fall of good..for our kingdom." The dragon Master, while not overly pleased with her logic, knew that she was right and therefore agreed that to go and help was the best course of action. The dragon Lady then stood on the summit and cast a spell of summoning, summoning the dragons to her side to help in the coming battle...knowing they had to hurry. She also called up something she hoped to never have to call on...pulling out a small bottle she took out the cork with a faint pop, and out popped...THE BAMF!

The Bamf shook it's head and gazed around dazedly, "Woah...get one evil sorceress mad and look where it lands ya...in a bottle. The world was then punished and not able to partake of my great charm and wit." The little creature then looked up at the woman before him and smiled hugely, "HELLOOOO NUUURSSEE!!!" The Dragon Lady cursed as he flung himself into her arms and tried to kiss her, "Look you little miserable degrading..." Running out of nasty names to call the creature in her arms she simply spread them wide and let him fall flat on his butt. Hitting the ground with a muffled thump, the Bamf then looked at her and smiled hugely, "Oh goody...I love it when a woman plays hard to get!!!" He then disappeared in a cloud of of smoke and with a strong smell of sulfur and once again landed in her arms. She looked over at the Dark knight and smiling at the creature in her arms, too sweetly to be taken seriously said, "Guess what??? This man is going to give you a woman when we get done defeating the evil that once threatened the good queen and my cousin Pirate Kitty...that is IF you help us." The Bamf smiled at her delighted at the prospect and running his hand suggestively up her arm replied, "Suuuurrreee a woman...uh huh...right *nudge nudge wink wink* we'll go with that." He then gave her a humongous smile and turned toward the knight, a look of jealously immediately coming across his face, "And who pray TELL is this???" The Dragon Lady made the introductions, and then left the room...muttering about how it was that a small miserable @#$@#%$# could be of any help to them she would never know, and the Bamf followed her curvy shape with his eyes as she left. He then looked at the knight and muttered something that sounded suspiciously like, "I hope you get the pox and die." Wisdom's head snapped up at that comment, eyes glaring as he asked, "WHAT did you say???" The Bamf looked down at the pointed end of the sword the knight had just recieved back into his possession and gulped, "I said that a woman like that can certainly get by." The knight snarled under his breath, spouting out worse curse words then the woman had and stalked from the room...a little blue creature laughing mischieviously after him.
