The Two Princesses


Once upon a time in a land far far away there was a magnificent castle that sat atop a mountain. In that castle lived two beautiful princesses. One with golden hair and emerald eyes the other with dark curls and eyes like chocolate. Together these princesses protected the village below. The people of the village loved them, everyone was happy and the sun always shone.

Then one day a cloaked man came to the village and in a tavern he met the dark haired princess. He told her tales, lies, and stories, making her believe her sister was an enemy. She went back to the castle and fought her sister. The golden haired princess was the stronger and in the end she won. She banished her sister with tears in her eyes.

With only one princess the cloaked man was able to influence the village. He told them the princess's hair was real gold, one by one they stole the strands till only one was left. The princess then went to the Village Square. The people stood with heads bowed down ashamed of what they had done. "Everyone wants a piece of me," the princess said and then fell to pieces. A million bits of dust that flew up up and away. Outside of town the other princess also fell, and black crows flew through the dust. Darkness came across the land and evil rules there still.

So be warned what you believe, before you listen to stories told by a stranger. Ask first your friend, sister, or lover, lest the stories not be true.
