Princess and the Barbarian (Ch. 1)

Once upon a time, back in the medieval times, there was a caravan traveling across the land to get to a small village for shelter. In this caravan there was a bunch of people who didn’t really know each other very well, but all grouped together to travel to the new village. One of those people was a princess in disguise. She had brown wavy hair and had very defiant brown eyes that resembled a very dark amber gem. However she was dressed in rags and tattered clothes to travel in secretary. On her travels across the land she kept to her self and tried to just get through the trip with as little of interaction as possible. But there was this barbarian that kept harassing her. He could see through her disguise of tattered clothes, and he saw the princess as clear as could be, but he didn’t say anything because he figured the princess had kept it secrete for a reason. The barbarian would talk and talk to the princess telling her about all of his travels in his days and the princess would just listen and take in everything he said. As the trip was still long under way, other people would approach the barbarian to talk to him, but he was to busy with the princess, and he was fine with that. He was perfectly happy with just sitting with the disguised princess and trying to do everything in his power to make her happy.
The caravan was closing in on the village, but something wasn’t right. There was a strong smell of smoke in the air and in the distance there was a red and orange glow in the sky. Everybody knew something was wrong. When they reached the village the saw witness to the village burning and crumbling to ashes. When they tried to turn around, a group of bandits with torches came running at the caravan. The caravan was toppled over and the bandits looted as much as they could and started to take people captive. The princess was grabbed by one bandit and was starting to be hauled away, but the barbarian with tiger like reflexes lunged out of the caravan, and pounced the bandit, then unleashed a series of mighty blows on the bandit. The barbarian got up and threw the bandit aside, only to see a herd of bandits chasing after the princess. The barbarian’s adrenalin started to kick in and chased after them. The princess had a good lead on the bandits though, because she was very quick on her feet. She had been trained in the castle in the art of long winded running. However she was flanked by another group of bandits on horse. The bandits tied her up and rode off with her.
The barbarian could only watch as he witnessed this happen. For he was too late. He sighed to himself, grabbed his sword and charged after the bandits with all of his will. For he knew he had to rescue the princess, she had meant too much to him and he was going to save her. He ran off into the night after the bandits, following their trail and not taking any rests. He had to save her….

Purple Flower

Once there was a little purple flower. This flower was very pretty and many people liked to adore at the flower. It was strong rooted, well watered, and it was well kept up with. It was pretty much the perfect flower. However, one day a strong storm came in, and the wind carried in a bunch of debris, that landed close to the purple flower. The purple flower didn’t think much of it, until a few days later there were some other flowers that started to grow. The purple flower was suspicious about these flowers, because they were yellow and very ominous. The purple flower went on its business, trying to ignore the new incoming flowers, but one day something strange happened, they all turned into weird puff balls. The puff balls seemed to slowly deteriorate when the wind would blow by. The scattered remains would not go far, but the remains soon became other yellow flowers. The purple flower soon realized that it was in a bad situation, and these new flowers were not flowers at all, but weeds and they were going to end up killing the purple flower. To this knowledge the purple flower became very worried, and started to slowly sulk.
Over the course of many weeks, the purple flower was being drowned out by many weeds, and was slowly dying. But on the day when the purple flower thought it could take no more, a tree was planted right next to the purple flower. The tree was at first another nuisance to the flower, but as the tree got bigger, the flower realized that the weeds around the purple flower were starting to die off. The purple flower came to realize that the tree was sending its roots around the purple flower and intentionally killing off all the weeds, to protect the purple flower. The tree grew very tall and soon eliminated all of the weeds around the purple flower. The purple flower once again became happy, and vibrated its beauty to the world once again. The tree had taken such measures to clear out all the weeds with its roots, that it had formed a silhouette around the purple flower with its roots, to keep it safe from harms way forever. The flower after having the tree so close to it, never had to worry about getting hurt again. The End

Three Kittens

Once there was a dog that was a stray dog. The dog was a friendly dog, but was shunned from society because he was a stray dog and looked scruff to the people around him. He would go around in the alleyways and look for scraps of food that had been left out by the people of the city he lived in. Most of the time he found little morsels of chicken or something like that from what people had left on their plate the night before. However one night while walking down an alleyway, he saw a very large man with a white apron on. The dog walked up to the man as the man was going back inside from a large dumpster. The man looked at the dog and without hesitation shouted “get out of here mutt, shoo shoo”. The dog of course coward away to prevent any conflict from with the man.
However after the man had left, the dog peeked into the dumpster to see what the man had dropped into the dumpster. He peered in and saw a large white bag. Out of sheer curiosity the dog pulled the bag out and ripped it open to see what was inside. Inside the dog found a large, well cooked, untouched steak. The dog was thrilled with his discovery, because he had not been able to eat for days. He grabbed the steak and started to trot off to a safe place to enjoy his meal.
When the dog thought he was in a safe enough place in another alley way a couple blocks down the road, he set it down and started to get ready for his meal. Right before he could eat though, he heard a little rustle from behind him. Being cautious, he ran and hid his steak and went to investigate what the noise was.
The dog went and rummaged through the trash that was behind him and found a box with a bunch of holes poked in it. The dog used his nose to open the box, only to come face to face with three kittens staring him in the face from inside the box.
Apparently somebody had, had kittens and did not want them anymore and threw them into the garbage. The dog figured that the cats would not be a problem, so he went back to his steak and prepared to eat his steak.
The three cats had followed him back to his steak and sat in front of him and looked at him. The dog looked at them and turned away from them so he could eat the steak in peace. Until… one of the kittens stomach started to growl. The dog looked down at his food, and then over at the three cats who were now huddling together to stay warm in the cold of the night. The dog then let out a long, heavy sigh and turned back towards the kittens. He then went around then and individually nubbed each one closer to the steak to tell them to eat the steak.
The kittens jumped on the steak as if the hadn’t eaten in weeks. The dog then went to a nearby box and crawled underneath it for shelter for the night. As the kittens finished their meal the started to walk away back into the night. The dog was taken back by this, thinking they would show a little gratitude, and he got a little sad.
The dog curled up in his bed and got into as tight as a ball as he could to stay warm. A couple minutes later he noticed it had started to rain, and he was getting really cold. He was having a very bad night all together. He tried to fall asleep to just get through the night…
But right when he was about to fall asleep he starts to smell something really good. And opens his eyes. He opens his eyes to see the three kittens inches away from his face staring right into his eyes… and behind them, they had found, and drug a even bigger steak to him. The dog was curious, but the kittens then nudged the steak towards him, and he became really excited. The dog then ate the steak, and it was the single greatest thing he had ever eaten.
After his meal, the dog layed back down and planned to go back to sleep. To his surprise, the three kittens snuggled up close to him to keep him warm for the night. The dog was happy with the way his night had turned out, and was happy to of made his three new friends. The end
