Once upon a time, a long, long, no I mean like, REALLY long time ago, there lived a prince.

It expanded for miles, and was so immense that you couldn’t even see the end. The prince loved to watch the Pegasus stand tle="Click to Continue > by CouponDropDown" style="color: rgb(116, 51, 153); background-color: transparent !important; border: none !important; vertical-align: baseline !important; display: inline !important; float: none !important; height: auto !important; min-height: 0px !important; min-width: 0px !important; width: auto !important; text-decoration: underline !important;">atop the apple tree and graze among the luscious red fruits that blossomed.

He felt love for magical creatures, and did not want to tle="Click to Continue > by CouponDropDown" style="color: rgb(116, 51, 153); background-color: transparent !important; border: none !important; vertical-align: baseline !important; display: inline !important; float: none !important; height: auto !important; min-height: 0px !important; min-width: 0px !important; width: auto !important; text-decoration: underline !important;">win the heart of a princess. Alas the time had come for him to marry, and his father picked the fairest lady in the entire realm of Camrune (a very big country). The king did not care at all about Kleetus’s worries and woes. Kleetus did not want this princess; he didn’t want any of them. Not the prettiest, not the smartest, he didn’t even care for the most proper. Two days before he was set to wed, he packed a bag and set off into the mystic forest. He didn’t take a horse or a carriage, he just walked with a pack on his back. When the day turned to dusk, he set up a camp and stared up into the tle="Click to Continue > by CouponDropDown" style="background-color: transparent !important; border: none !important; display: inline !important; float: none !important; font-style: normal !important; font-variant: normal !important; font-weight: normal !important; font-size: 16px !important; line-height: 24px !important; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', sans-serif !important; height: auto !important; margin: 0px !important; min-height: 0px !important; min-width: 0px !important; padding: 0px !important; vertical-align: baseline !important; width: auto !important; text-decoration: underline !important; background-position: initial initial !important; background-repeat: initial initial !important;">stars. “MORGRAGREERGER,” moaned a deep, angry voice from the bushes.

Out popped a hideous, green ogress about as tall as the apple tree in the kingdom. Kleetus gazed at the girl and smiled,” Hello there, that skirt really flatters you, you know.” The ogress gaped at him, perplexed and confused. In her deep manly voice she sniffed,”You awr lye to meh?

The prettiest princess in Camrune would have to be let down, for an ogress? He wasn’t sure that that would sound right in front of his father’s kingdom. Moments later, he repacked everything and hiked home, with Suzy tle="Click to Continue > by CouponDropDown" style="background-color: transparent !important; border: none !important; display: inline !important; float: none !important; font-style: normal !important; font-variant: normal !important; font-weight: normal !important; font-size: 16px !important; line-height: 24px !important; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', sans-serif !important; height: auto !important; margin: 0px !important; min-height: 0px !important; min-width: 0px !important; padding: 0px !important; vertical-align: baseline !important; width: auto !important; text-decoration: underline !important; background-position: initial initial !important; background-repeat: initial initial !important;">following him all the way.

Kleetus rushed around the corner and thru his secret entrance, until he landed in the dining hall. He wasn’t even fazed by the tle="Click to Continue > by CouponDropDown" style="background-color: transparent !important; border: none !important; display: inline !important; float: none !important; font-style: normal !important; font-variant: normal !important; font-weight: normal !important; font-size: 16px !important; line-height: 24px !important; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', sans-serif !important; height: auto !important; margin: 0px !important; min-height: 0px !important; min-width: 0px !important; padding: 0px !important; vertical-align: baseline !important; width: auto !important; text-decoration: underline !important; background-position: initial initial !important; background-repeat: initial initial !important;">sight of the princess and walked right past her up to the king. “Where have you been young man?!” He bellowed, his protruding belly jiggling as he spoke. “I went on a walk to the apple tree and fell asleep, sorry father.” The king’s red face returned to it’s regular peach tone, and he sighed. “My boy, sometimes I wonder if you’re even fit for such a lady.” He did the face- palm.

The building was crowded with the variety of rich, and poor villagers. Kleetus sat, worrying, behind the tall statue on the stage. He wondered, what was he going to do if ________ happened? A headache had just began to crawl its way into his head, just as the bells stopped ringing, and the church doors creaked and banged shut. The mournful prince picked himself up from the floor, and made his way to the place he was supposed to stand. The officiate pulled out his book as the beautiful princess (Joliene) strutted down the aisle. Even thru the veil that fell over her perfect face, Kleetus could clearly see her glaring at the less fortunate group of people standing in the corner. It enraged him, more than anything. By the time the “I Do” part rolled in, and Joliene had said her vows, Kleetus was even angrier. Once his turn had come about, he didn’t say “I Do”, instead, he said “Never.” He left it like that as he stormed out of the building. By the time Suzy popped out of her hiding place, Kleetus was already standing right in front of her. His eyes told her everything, and she decided to stay quiet, so as not to push him any farther. The King rushed out of the building, angry as ever, and his face looked as though he had sat in the burning fireplace for a day. By the time the plump, mean man had reached the door, his young and agile son was already halfway to the castle wall with his true love. The King didn’t care, he just threw his wine glass on the ground and stomped over to his royal carriage. Kleetus had almost reached the wall when he heard horses, and smelled wine. He started to panic, trees surrounded him, and only a select few could climb like he could. He told Suzy to get past the wall as fast as possible, and he climbed up the highest tree that he could see. He knew the guards and his father couldn’t climb, so the trick was to be invisible, like a shadow in the night. He perched tensely on a thick branch surrounded by leaves. The clanking of armor and the sounds of the shouts left him tle="Click to Continue > by CouponDropDown" style="color: rgb(116, 51, 153); background-color: transparent !important; border: none !important; vertical-align: baseline !important; display: inline !important; float: none !important; height: auto !important; min-height: 0px !important; min-width: 0px !important; width: auto !important; text-decoration: underline !important;">full of unease. The worst was his father’s. He felt hurt and unloved, as he started to clear himself a spy-hole thru the leaves. Down tle="Click to Continue > by CouponDropDown" style="background-color: transparent !important; border: none !important; display: inline !important; float: none !important; font-style: normal !important; font-variant: normal !important; font-weight: normal !important; font-size: 16px !important; line-height: 24px !important; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', sans-serif !important; height: auto !important; margin: 0px !important; min-height: 0px !important; min-width: 0px !important; padding: 0px !important; vertical-align: baseline !important; width: auto !important; text-decoration: underline !important; background-position: initial initial !important; background-repeat: initial initial !important;">below, there was little activity, no guards passed his line of sight. But, as he peered, astonished, at the trunk of the tree he was in…he saw a red-faced, steaming king trying to climb up. The king was grunting and wheezing as he tried to get his unfit body to cooperate. Somewhat freaked, Kleetus clung to his branch, trying to hold perfectly still. Then a panting guard came bounding up to the king, “Sir, we’ve caught movement near the wall.” “Take me there!” The short man boomed. “As you wish sire”, the unfortunate chap panted back, as he picked up the king and ran off. The guards are all very strong, but even for them, carrying the king is like picking up a grown horse for everyone else. Kleetus waited until the burdened footsteps hushed before he dared to move from his perch. He hoped that the movement the guards had found was just a squirrel or a deer, not his tle="Click to Continue > by CouponDropDown" style="background-color: transparent !important; border: none !important; display: inline !important; float: none !important; font-style: normal !important; font-variant: normal !important; font-weight: normal !important; font-size: 16px !important; line-height: 24px !important; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', sans-serif !important; height: auto !important; margin: 0px !important; min-height: 0px !important; min-width: 0px !important; padding: 0px !important; vertical-align: baseline !important; width: auto !important; text-decoration: underline !important; background-position: initial initial !important; background-repeat: initial initial !important;">friendly, kind, Suzy. Unfortunately, just as he landed on the cushy grass, he heard a scream in the distance. He knew then and there, Suzy had been captured. A mythical creature hadn’t ever been caught inside the kingdom barriers before, so he wasn’t sure what they’d do to her. That’s what worried him though, the thought that he didn’t know could lead to anything. They could slaughter her, torture her, but perhaps they would just place her back where she belongs? The latter sounds the most likely, but Kleetus couldn’t be sure. He was thinking plenty of harsh thoughts by the time he smelled the scent of wine nearing him, and the sound of Suzy struggling as well. As fast as he could, he scrambled over the wall, and watched silently thru a hole. The royal carriage fell off in the distance, and Kleetus did all he could to follow unnoticed.

By dusk, Kleetus had managed to reach the castle without sending out an alarm. He now had an idea, a very definite one, about what was going to happen to poor ol’ Suzy, and he didn’t like it one bit. All roads so far led to that same conclusion though; a royal feast, Suzy as the main platter. As folklore told, ogres tasted delicious…no matter how you cook ‘em! The prince crept silently thru the secret passageways he had discovered as a child. At every sound, he flinched and pressed himself against the tle="Click to Continue > by CouponDropDown" style="background-color: transparent !important; border: none !important; display: inline !important; float: none !important; font-style: normal !important; font-variant: normal !important; font-weight: normal !important; font-size: 16px !important; line-height: 24px !important; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', sans-serif !important; height: auto !important; margin: 0px !important; min-height: 0px !important; min-width: 0px !important; padding: 0px !important; vertical-align: baseline !important; width: auto !important; text-decoration: underline !important; background-position: initial initial !important; background-repeat: initial initial !important;">slimy, long forgotten walls. Right behind the stove, Kleetus was most vulnerable, hidden only by a thin lining of stone. If he made any noise, he’d be caught for sure. Creeping thru the dark, dank tunnels was hard enough, but now he had to try to get into the castle kitchen. In a normal modern day home, sneaking into the kitchen to steal a cookie from the cookie jar might be “no biggie,” but this was sneaking into the ROYAL kitchen, packed with chefs, stealing an ogress. No biggie, eh?
Kleetus warily paced back and tle="Click to Continue > by CouponDropDown" style="background-color: transparent !important; border: none !important; display: inline !important; float: none !important; font-style: normal !important; font-variant: normal !important; font-weight: normal !important; font-size: 16px !important; line-height: 24px !important; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', sans-serif !important; height: auto !important; margin: 0px !important; min-height: 0px !important; min-width: 0px !important; padding: 0px !important; vertical-align: baseline !important; width: auto !important; text-decoration: underline !important; background-position: initial initial !important; background-repeat: initial initial !important;">forth as he unfolded his far from flawless plan. After repeatedly sitting, pacing, thinking and gnawing, he finally thought his plan was…….. good enough. Even if it wasn’t, the chefs always start to cook dinner at 5:00 P.M, and his lovely ogress’s life would be coming to a halt. After building up his nerves, he was very tense and overly stressed as he pulled on the stone lever leading to the tle="Click to Continue > by CouponDropDown" style="background-color: transparent !important; border: none !important; display: inline !important; float: none !important; font-style: normal !important; font-variant: normal !important; font-weight: normal !important; font-size: 16px !important; line-height: 24px !important; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', sans-serif !important; height: auto !important; margin: 0px !important; min-height: 0px !important; min-width: 0px !important; padding: 0px !important; vertical-align: baseline !important; width: auto !important; text-decoration: underline !important; background-position: initial initial !important; background-repeat: initial initial !important;">next
