"OnCe UpOn A tIme In A lAnD oF fOuR mOtHeRfUcKiNg KiNgDoMs," Sang a purple garbed bard.
"Livwed the most ruthless king for shore."Sang his gold garbed companion.
"hIs NaMe SpReAd FeAr ThRoUgH mAnY's HeArTs."
"And he vwas known as Caliborn."
The bards fade away and a young boy stands talking to his friend in the center of the village.
"I know it's what my Dad wants, but I just don't want to be a farmer, Rose. It's just" He paused for the words. "not right. What should I do?"
"You should go off on a quest to seek your fortune. Those always seem to work." She advised her friend. "I understand what you mean John. Farming is really boring."
"Why do you stay around then? Youcould've left this pathetic little town long ago." He smiled his dorky smile, and she sighed.
"A friend, a really close friend of mine, lives here. They're why I'm still here."
"Is it me?" He asked enthusiastically, smiling broadly.
"Sorry, it isn't you." She patted his head again. "Anyway, I suggest you prepare. To go off fortune-seeking and all."
John smiled and ran off to pack. Maybe he'd turn out to be a great hero, like in the stories of old! Maybe he'd defeat the horrible Lord Caliborn. Who knew!
Rose smiled as her friend ran off enthusiastically. Heading back to her house she stared into the crystal ball and asked, "What will John become?"
"What he already is, a hero, and what he should've been: a king."
So John's the heir to Beanin, Rose thought. It's not too surprising. She went off to visit her friend, the local tailor and healer Kanaya.
"AnD sO jOhN sEt OuT oN hIs MoThErFuCkInG QuEsT."

Jade stared at the villagers as they brought the torch closer to the brush surrounding the stake she was currently tied to. They were seriously going to burn her! She tried once again to break her bonds, but had no such luck.
"Stop! I didn't make anyone sick! Just because I'm a witch doesn't make me bad! I'm a good witch, like Feferi! You know, the princess of Leona?"
"You are a witch, you used your powers on us, and you shall burn!" Retorted the crowd's lead.
"Weren't you listening?" asked another boy, who Jade didn't recognize. "She already told you she didn't do it."
"Who're you to say that?"
"A knight who is skilled with the very sharp sword he is holding."
The crowd backed off and the knight untied Jade from the stake.
"Thanks for saving me."
"No problem."
"I'm Jade. Is there anything I can do in return? You just saved my life."
"How about we negotiate away from the angry mob."
The two swiftly retreated to the village's outskirts. Jade smiled at her savior, the blond haired boy wore the perfect poker face, untouched by emotion.
"Dave."
"What?"
"I'm Dave. Now, about the price for saving you."
"I'll do anything. I don't have a lot of money but I am a skilled witch and-"He cut her off swiftly.
"Come with me."
"What?"
"Come with me, see the world, all four kingdoms."
"Sure."
"sO tHe BrAvE dUo StArTeD tHeIr MoThErFuCkInG qUeSt."
"and John prepared to start his owvn."
"He LeFt As ThE mOtHeRfUcKiNg sUn RoSe."
"and said goodbye to no one."
John traveled through the land, stopping in towns occasional. He was heading ever so slowly to the capitol, where he was fairly sure fortune could be found.
After a few days of travel he met up with two other journeyers. Well, actually he spotted the two, and still hadn't decided to talk to them. Eventually he fell awkwardly out of his hiding spot and rolled roughly right to where the two were sitting. The boy stared at him blankly and the girl smiled.
"Hi, I'm Jade!" she said, smiling a bucktoothed smile.
"John. Um, sorry about, falling in on you."
"Nice to meet you John. The rude dude here is Dave. So, what're you doing out here in the middle of nowhere?"
"I'm out seeking my fortune!" He said, smiling." I didn't wan't to be a farmer like my dad, so my friend suggested I do this."
"Cool. Dave here saved me from being burned at a stake so I promised to go adventuring with him." Dave nodded in confirmation.
"Can I join up with you for a while? I'm a little lost."
"Sure." John was startled asfor the first time Dave spoke. "You can come."
"AnD sO tHe DuO bEcAmE a TrIo."
"and continued their joined quest."
"AnD nOw, A wOrD fRoM oUr MoThErFuCkInG aUtHoR."
