Princess Tyler



Once upon a time there was a rebellious princess named Tyler. He refused to write a story for his literature classes, so the king knew something had to be done. The perfect solution showed itself. The king hired Tyler a tutor. His tutors name was Rachel, and she seemed like the perfect tutor. Rachel seemed nice and responsible. Tyler wasn’t too worried, good people were real pushovers.
Rachel came over for Tyler’s first lesson with a big grin on her face. She greeted the king and proceeded to Tyler’s private study room which the king constructed just for this occasion.
Tyler and Rachel went to the study and started studying. “Can we take a break?” Tyler whined, “I’m really hungry.”
Now Rachel’s face didn’t seem so happy. “Look kid, I’m not going to believe some lie like that.” Rachel said angrily, “I saw you eating lunch ten minutes ago!”
Tyler was scared stiff; he kept he eyes glued to his work and studied very hard. His grades had improved significantly since the start of the tutoring so the king was pleased.
The King decided that they no longer required Rachel’s services, so he fired her. She smiled as she left.
Soon Tyler’s grades dropped again. The king tried hiring Rachel, but she refused, and instead offered another idea.
“How about you lock him in the dungeon and make him study?” Rachel offered with a large smile.
The king reluctantly agreed, as he couldn’t think of any other solution.
Thus, Tyler was locked in the dungeon, but refused to study. Being locked in the dungeon meant he couldn’t inherit the kingdom.
Instead, when the king died, Rachel took over the kingdom. Then she forced the villagers to work all day in the mines finding her gold. Meanwhile, Tyler died in the dungeons. And they all lived happily ever after.



The War


A war was raging on between two disagreeing races, mermaids and elves. The mermaid lived in a lake which bordered the elf village. The elves had been pouring their leftover potion ingredients into the water, which the mermaids lived in. As you can see, that might have caused a few problems.
From them on in, the elves refused to stop, and instead poured more in. The mermaids, enraged, requested the help of their noble shaman of their underwater civilization.
The shaman summoned a mighty winged beast to come attack the village. In defense, the elves created a toxic potion and used it to kill the beast. It continued on like this for months, that is, until the elves developed a sure win strategy.
Once they thought of their brilliant plan, they sent a messenger to tell the mermaids, in hopes of them surrendering.
The messenger delivered them a scroll, it said:

We have a plan that you can’t stop, we are going to pour poison into the lake, killing you all. If you surrender, we will spare your lives in exchange for all your harvested kelp. The potions we make from the kelp shall be beneficial to all, so it’s either losing your lives or living and just giving us some of your kelp. So you should just surrender now and get it over with.

The king of the mermaids was prepared to surrender, for he was thinking of the good of the people. The villagers however weren’t going to give up. They wouldn’t stop fighting for their people even if they died trying. They had true courage and bravery. Sure they were scared of the poison and afraid for their lives, but courage and bravery doesn’t mean having no fear, it means having the strength to overcome your fears.
Their ruler was absolutely moved by their hope and was disappointed in himself for even considering giving up. They tied a scroll to a frog and sent it to the elves, putting all of their passion into it.
The elves were shocked their ingenious plan had failed, but they were not going to stop. They went to pour poison in the lake, but a barrier of rock surrounded the lake, stopping them.
Seeing how that wouldn’t work, they continued their usual fighting method. The mermaids didn’t stop either.
During all of this commotion, they seemed to have forgotten about their other neighbors, the centaurs. The centaurs remained neutral, but they were having odd side affects from drinking the water, so they wanted the war to end.
During the six month of battle, the centaurs made their way over in between the two societies. They demanded that this fighting stop, or else they would call the Ruler of All Things Magical and have him stop it.
The two warring villages reluctantly issued a truce, thus ending the war in a tie. After a while, there was no more hatred between the two races. I guess that everyone lived happily ever after.
