9. Do you believe in Fairytales?

by Lyaria Apollin

Dear father,
There comes a time when you have to make decisions that affects not only you, but all those who love. And in that moment, you have to be ready to fight, like you've never fought before. A fight that is beyond life and death, a fight for true love, friendship and faith.
Our days are peaceful in this new realms but I have heard of a wonderful story during our travel. When the nights are cold, and you feel alone, please read it and remember that hope is still not gone.
 
Once upon a time, in this far forgotten land, there lived a queen and his king who loved each other. They were both generous and kind. But, after she lost her family, the queen became afraid and doubted everything she believed in. The king tried all that was in his power, but nothing made his wife better. In time, even the citizens were wondering if their lands would be doomed to remain poor forever.
 
Until one day, when, a group of nine adventurers knocked on the castle's door, seeking advice. The queen and king welcomed them warmly and offered them all they needed. In return, during their stay, the adventurers decided to try and help the queen. At last, after a few tries, it was the two brothers of the group, who, by their vast knowledge of the spirit, reached the queen's heart. Slowly, the queen found herself closer to the truth. But the powers of evil, would not give up so easily, for the queen had a far greater purpose than she knew. You see, dear father, the queen was the key to a great secret, one that could end this world for all times
 
So, no matter the danger, the adventures had to fight. Before they knew it, the shadow of tens of demons was coming upon them. Three of adventurers fell very fast in the hands of the demons and unable to control their own body, they started to to attack the king. The two brothers, lost from each other, kept fighting for their life. And the queen..., the queen, overwhelmed by anger, helplessly trying to save her husband.
 
Outnumbered and outgunned, the favor did not seem to be on the adventurers side. But they all kept fighting. They had the faith. In a last attempt to save the others, each one them gave all they had and prayed to God that their efforts will not be in vain. Even the king, with his last powers, gently grabbed the queen's hand, in a desperate move to save her. For he had knew that the anger she bears was going to be her end.
At his touch, the queen stopped for an instant. An instant that changed the odds of the battle. Nobody knows what she thought but the next second, the room was covered in light and all demons were gone. They were all defeated by the power of a true love.
A few weeks later, everyone recovered, including the king who was badly wounded and they lived happily ever after.
 
Rumor has it that among the adventurers, there was an elf, just like us. And like us, she knew that we are not what we once were. But in the last hour of the fight, with a little bit of power, for a brief moment, she found the truth, and felt deep inside something she has never felt before, the true essence of the elves. So father if you want to protect our people, help me find out more, and do not let the others lose hope. For all the darkness waits, it's the doubt in what we are.
 
I will let you know if anything happens on our journey. We will soon set sail back to The Monument of Life. We need to finish our quest after all. I love you father. 'Till we meet again.
 
Your daughter,
Lyaria
