1 Chapter 1: Once Upon a Time
Once upon a time there lived a poor king and queen is a small kingdom known as Gardania. The kingdom had been known for its lush gardens and beautiful flowers but unfortunately all that had been over 20 years ago before the rivers and lakes had dried up. The king had spent all the kingdoms money on material things to fill the castle to make his queen happy instead of hiring wizards to find the cause of the drought. The queen was always angry and unhappy at the world for making her forced to live with a fool of a king while attempting to drown out her selfishness with a glass of red wine in her hand every day. Cursing the gods for punishing her kingdom for no reason.
On one particularly hot day in the kingdom a strangely clothed figure knocked on the grand entrance door.
'Knock' Knock' 'Knock'
One of the last remaining butlers quickly opened then door way and looked down at the stranger with a skeptical eyes. The lady was dressed in a strange brightly colored short dress with striped stockings and ballerina shoes. Her long flowing pink hair was tied up into two high ponytails with sparkly ribbons.
"What business do you have with the King and Queen?" he answered plainly
Smiling ever so sweetly she answered with a voice of a song bird.
"Oh hehehe I come in wishes of 3 for the dear King and Queen." She gave a small curtsey with delight.
The butler still appeared to be unamused but let the strange woman into the castle.
Inside the throne room the Queen gave a loud annoyed yawn looking out the window seeming to be bored fanning herself while the depressed king tiredly looked at the fool of a jester attempting to amuse him. The butler walked into the throne room with the strange woman behind him, clearing his throat in a loud manner the jester stopped his acted and backed away to the side.
" Your royal magistrates my I present..."
looking back at the woman she snickered and whispered in his ear "the rainbow fairy Floral Sunshine..." She causally skipped out from behind the butler giggling then took a deep bow.
"What a lovely day and many happy blessings for the king and queen!!"
Both the King and Queen looked at each other puzzled then turned back to look at the 'fairy's
Clearing his throat the king response "What does a fairy want with the Kindom of Gardania?"
Ms Flora stood back up and started to dance as she spoke "This fairy is her to grant the wishes of 3 to the randomly selected couple and as one could have a guess, it was the lovely King and Queen!" She ended with blowing a kiss while falling down into the splits as the King clapped his hands with delight. However the Queen kept her skeptical gaze towards the fairy.
"How do we know this isn't some sort of crack pot scheme to take the last of the Kingdoms money?" the queen crossed her arms unamused.
With a snap of her fingers Ms Flora pulled out a scroll from thin air and a pair of hot pink wings sprouted from her back as she flew closer to the king and queen then kneeling down holding the scroll above her head offering it to the skeptical queen. "If one does not believe, please read my queen. "
The Queen snatched up the scroll and unrolled it and read it to herself then gave it to the king sitting back down with a small smirk on her face.
The King looked upon the scroll in amazement. It had appeared to have been written in some sort of translucent ink that shifted colors, he read aloud
"The Wishes Of 3 is granted to one chosen couple once every 300 years. This celestial celebration is held as one of the highest honors granted from the Fairy realm to mortals. Together the couple gets 3 wishes from the chosen fairy to use throughout the year. However if not all the wishes are used before the following year the couple will be cursed.
Congratulations to the King and Queen of Gardania for being the selected candidates! Do choose the wishes of 3 wisely."
Both the King and Queen looked at the Fairy with greedy eyes as the King handed the scroll back to the fairy. The King puffed out his chest and looked to his wife and then in a proud and loud voice "I wish my wife was unselfish and actually cared for me and the kingdom."
The queen eyes widen but before she had a change to refuse, she clutched onto her chest and the color seemed to drain from her face and she fainted back into her throne. The kings heart sank as he quickly lifted his queen up into his arms with teary eyes.
"What have you done to her!! You dare kill my beloved queen. Knights capture that crazy fairy and lock her away in the dungeon!!"
Flora gave a small giggle and flew up into the rafters with pink sparkles following behind her.
"I have only granted the first wish my dear king. Restasured the queen is very much alive but her heart is now full of love for the year."
The royal guard was now attempting to jump and running about to catch the flying fairy that stayed just out of reach.
"what do you mean for a year?" The king asked confused as he snapped his fingers making the knights halt in place.
Flying over to the king and sitting ontop of the canopy above his throne and evil smile came across her face.
"The wishes of 3 are a very complex in what they can and cannot do. For example if one does not include a time line for the wish it only lasts for the year. You also can not retract any wish once it has been set or wish for more wishes. If the wish is used out of a selfish desire then the caster of the wish shall be cursed for eternity with the guilt. Each person in the contract gets one wish then the last wish must be done together with hearts as one or your entire kingdom will be given to the Fairies as for proving once again how selfish and horrible the human species are."
Finishing off with an evil cackle she disappeared in a cloud of glitter as her voice echoed throughout the throne room "I will be back to grant the queens wish see you both very soon beloved King and Queen."
After a few long hours of searching no one in the castle could find any trace of the strange fairy. Only the scroll was left in the hands of the King cursing under his breath he placed back and forth down the hall in front of the royal bedroom waiting to here knews of his queens condition. The doctor slowly opened the door and the king ran to him with tears in his eyes.
"How is the queen? Will she live or is she cursed to sleep for years on end" the over dramatic king was about to burst into tears and layed back on the ground when the doctor let out a annoyed sign.
"The queen only fainted from stress. She will be fine, so I would suggest you both stop acting like children and actually talk for once in your relationship! Getting called out in the rain like this is ridiculous now I will take my leave." he stepped over the dramatic king and left as the king looked confused as to what the doctor had meant.
The queens handmaiden opened the door stepping out into the hall looking down at the King in her usual ice cold face "The queen shall see you now."
His face lite up like a child on Christmas morning as he rushed in to her side.
"Oh my love can you ever forgive this fool of a man..."
the queen gently touched the kings cheek with a small smile on her face "There is nothing to forgive my darling but I do have one small request from you"
"Anything you want with be yours just say the word and it shall be done."
With a slight pause she pulled him closer
"let's make a baby"
The king blushed bright red and then things started to get steamy.....
