Softdocs by: The Bit Blitz
|

|
|
|
|||
|
|
A long, long time ago, when creatures of myth and magic walked the earth
|
|||
|
|
openly with lesser mortals, there dwelt in the kingdom ory a King name
|
|||
|
|
Graham. He had one the crown by his wit and courage, when he went forth
|
|||
|
|
to uncover and reclaim the three lost treasures of Daventry. Now Graham
|
|||
|
|
ruled over the land, with the aid of the mirror that foretold the
|
|||
|
|
future, the bottomless treasure chest, and the invincible shield. The
|
|||
|
|
people of Daventry prospered under the reign of the kindly monarch.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Just one year after returning from his first victorious quest, King
|
|||
|
|
Graham arose and looked into the mirror as he was wont to do daily. Much
|
|||
|
|
to his astonishment, he beheld the face of Edward, the King who came
|
|||
|
|
before him in the succession.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
King Edward spoke, "Graham, your kingdom is strong now, thanks to the
|
|||
|
|
recovery of the three treasures and your wise leadership. But it will
|
|||
|
|
soon grow weak again, if you do not provide and heir to the throne.
|
|||
|
|
Marry, my son, and give your people a prince that make their future
|
|||
|
|
secure."
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The vision faded. King Graham pondered how he might find a bride fit to
|
|||
|
|
reign over Daventry. He consulted with Gerwain, his wise prime
|
|||
|
|
minister.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
"She must be good, and kind, so that she will love my people and they
|
|||
|
|
will love here," said Graham. "She must have the wisdom to counsel me in
|
|||
|
|
my daily problems, and a loving heart to bring me comfort. I wish my
|
|||
|
|
Queen to glow with an inner beauty of spirit as well as beauty of face
|
|||
|
|
and formt."
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Gerwain suggested that Graham host a celebration, and invite all the
|
|||
|
|
maidens of marriageable age from his whole kingdom. He could then
|
|||
|
|
observe and conserve with the likely candidates, and see if any one of
|
|||
|
|
them fit his idea of a queen.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The invitations were sent out, and the whole kingdom turned out for the
|
|||
|
|
celebration. From every corner of Daventry the maidens came. Short and
|
|||
|
|
tall, slender and plump, fair and dark, pretty and plain. There were
|
|||
|
|
maidens from all stations of life, from Dukes' and earls' daughters to
|
|||
|
|
the village goose girl and the scullery maid from the castle kitchens.
|
|||
|
|
They all had but one thing in common: They greatly admired the handsome
|
|||
|
|
King, and were eager to catch his eye. Word had spread that the King was
|
|||
|
|
looking for a bride, and they were all thrilled at the prospect of
|
|||
|
|
marrying the charming Graham.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
For two days the celebration wore on, and though he tried to be
|
|||
|
|
cheerful, Graham gradually became somber. None of the maidens he had met
|
|||
|
|
quickened his pulse. One maid squinted, another triped over everything
|
|||
|
|
in sight. Another was too coy, and the one after her giggled constantly.
|
|||
|
|
They all had some fault, however small. It was with great relief that
|
|||
|
|
Graham saw his guests ride away at then end of the celebration. He
|
|||
|
|
retired to his room to reflect gloomily.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
"My kingdom is home to hundreds of lovely maidens," he mourned. "Why is
|
|||
|
|
there not one among them who touches my heart and my dreams."
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
As he asked the question, King Graham was standing near the magic
|
|||
|
|
mirror. He glanced toward it, and noticed that the glass had grown
|
|||
|
|
inexplicably cloudy.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The mist cleared, All at once, King Graham beheld the most beautiful
|
|||
|
|
maiden he had ever seen. She had hair of glowing auburn, and eyes of
|
|||
|
|
midnight blue. Her skin was the color of rich cream, but alas, no roses
|
|||
|
|
bloomed in her cheeks, and the corners of her pretty mout drooped in
|
|||
|
|
sorrow.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
She was standing at a window, motionless except for the stray breeze
|
|||
|
|
that stirred her hair. A tear fill from one eye, and sparkled on her
|
|||
|
|
cheek like a diomand on velvet. She put up one hand to brush it away,
|
|||
|
|
and Graham was struck by the grace of her movement.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The kings heart was suddenly enveloped in a strange fever. He knew that
|
|||
|
|
this was the maiden for whom he longed - this was the woman who must be
|
|||
|
|
his queen. He wanted to find her and bring a smile to her lovely face.
|
|||
|
|
He wanted to take her in his arms, and protect her from trouble
|
|||
|
|
forevermore. Eagerly he consulted the magic mirror.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
"Oh mirror wis," said Graham, "I have vowed to make this maiden my
|
|||
|
|
bride. Where may I find her?"
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The mirror clouded again, and a voice was heard. "This is the maiden
|
|||
|
|
Valanice. She is from the kingdom of Kolyma, and is known for her
|
|||
|
|
goodness no less than her beauty. The jealous crone Hagatha whisked
|
|||
|
|
Valanice away to an enchanged land, and imprisoned her in a quartz tower
|
|||
|
|
guarded by a ferocious wild beast."
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
"I must rescue her or die in the attempt," declared King Graham. "How
|
|||
|
|
may I find this enchanted land?"
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
"You must travel to the kingdom of Kolyma," said the mirror. "There you
|
|||
|
|
may search for the keys which unlock the three doors to the enchanted
|
|||
|
|
land..."
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The voice faded and the mirror cleared. Graham stared at his own
|
|||
|
|
reflection. Vainly did he call for its return, to give him more clues to
|
|||
|
|
the whereabouts of the magic keys. Finally, he shouldered his
|
|||
|
|
provisions, and set out on his quest of love.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Only you, my bold adventurer have the power to finish this tale.
|
|||
|
|
Accompany King Graham on his quest to find the magic keys. Encounter
|
|||
|
|
characters of legend, folklore and fantasy. Explore underground caverns,
|
|||
|
|
eerie towers, and ocean wonderlands. Help him rescue the enchanted
|
|||
|
|
maiden, so he can lay his kingdom and his heart at her feet.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|

|
|||
|
|
timbre. Summon all your strength and courage. Leave no stone unturned,
|
|||
|
|
no avenue unexplored, and your perseverance will be richly rewarded.
|

|||
|
|
more imaginative your solutions, the greater you reward.

treasures as you can - treasures fit for a queen.
