Once
upon a time there was a king and
a queen of a small peaceful kingdom tucked into a magical place called a Lacunavim. The king and queen were
truly in love and had been for centuries.
The king was the son of the first and only Zigonian to reach Earth. The king was a wizard, who found a way to
change Earth humans to be a race more like him, so they could practice his
magic. He found the love of his life in
Lady Aberlene, and he changed her and made her his queen. The king filled his kingdom with handpicked
human wizards who were pure of heart.
The king changed them to share his magic, and New Zigon was born.
The king taught his lovely queen and loyal subjects his magic and
encouraged them to study it and learn more about it on their own. Lady Aberlene specialized in life magic. She created a magic amulet which enabled her
to remain young and beautiful by her husband’s side for centuries, since the
king, being a true Zigonian descendant, aged very slowly.
And so they lived,
their small community of wizards blossoming over the years into a dazzling
city. After hundreds of years of
waiting, the king and queen had their first child, New Zigon’s first
princess. The princess was as beautiful
as her mother and as talented as both her parents put together. The princess was not happy in New Zigon,
however, and escaped to earth to mingle with the humans as often as she
could. The inevitable happened; the
Princess fell in love with a human, and not just any human. Her human was cousin to one of the largest and
most powerful landowners in the country.
When the human’s cousin learned of New Zigon, he grew greedy and hatched
a plan. The princess and the human
married in secret, as the king and queen would surely never approve. The princess finally told her mother about
her forbidden marriage, and the queen went out into the world to meet her
daughter’s human. Only she didn’t meet
her daughter’s beloved, she met his cousin instead. The cousin had planned this all along. He knew of the queen’s magic amulet, and he
held her captive and tortured her until she made one just for him.
Once he got what he
wanted, the evil cousin killed the queen.
The king almost died when he heard his queen was gone. He became a broken man and forbade his
subjects to leave their safe Lacunavim and ordered them to never talk to humans again.
Realizing the greed of humans, the king wanted to protect his people
from the queen’s fate. He created a very
special protection spell. He summoned
his entire kingdom and hid the protection spell in each of their magic amulets.
To protect the princess,
he put her under lock and key to keep her from ever leaving the Lacunavim
again.
But the king did not
understand the love the princess shared with her human, even though it was so
like the love he had for his queen. The
princess’s human went mad looking for her and constantly sought out the
princess’s smallest friend, who was able to sneak past the king’s guard to
visit Earth. The princess’s little
friend ran from the human every time, until the human cornered her. He begged the little friend to let him know
of his princess, for not only were they married, they were with child. When the little friend ran again, the human
captured her to force her to talk. This
triggered the king’s protection spell, which turned both the little friend and
the human to stone. The girl was
protected from being tortured or killed but was protected from living as
well.
The princess escaped
and found her human and little friend frozen in stone. The king refused to break the spell, and the
princess hated him for it. When her baby
was born, the princess punished the king by not letting him meet his only grandchild. For two years the princess tried to break the
spell, borrowing the city’s magic crystals one by one, but nothing worked. Then one day the princess and her son
disappeared with all of the city’s most magical crystals, including the king’s prized
magic stone. They were never seen or
heard from again.
With the magic crystals
and the magic stone gone, and with only a broken king to guide them, New Zigon
fell apart. The city was abandoned, and
without the king’s magic stone to energize it, the Lacunavim began to die as
well.
All was lost, until one
day, six and a half centuries later, the princess’s little friend was freed
from her stone prison by a handsome knight, who carried her on his white steed
all the way to her home in New Zigon.
The princess’s little friend had
a piece of the king’s magic stone and used it to save the Lacunavim and restore
the city to its former glory, and they all lived happily ever after.
The end.
