…..
This is the story of how I died.
Hmmm, that sounded a bit grim…. Don't worry, this is actually quite a funny story, and I'm not even the main character.
No… this is the story of Foggy (yeah I know, but his real name is worse, believe me).
And it starts years ago, in a beautiful kingdom far away…. Alright, I'm lying. Hell's Kitchen has been described as one of the worst places to live; a dirty, run-down place with high crime levels and corrupted cops.
Well, I can't see whether it's dirty or not… but it smells dirty if that helps.
The King and Queen of Hells' Kitchen are lovely people who genuinely want to help people. The King was a lowly butcher, who married a princess, so he understood the people and wanted to help them.
Nice man really.
There was one problem though… no heir. It took several years before the Queen was reported to be pregnant, and even then, people feared she wouldn't survive. Near the end of the pregnancy, the Queen fell ill and was on the verge of death.
For a while, it seemed like all hope was lost… until the King heard of the magical flower that grew on the outskirts of the city. The story behind the flower, is that a single drop of sun fell from the heavens and from that drop, a flower grew and it had the ability to heal the sick and injured.
Desperate, he sent guards to find the flower immediately, hoping that the flower would save his wife.
But someone else had their eye on the flower.
Elektra was a stunning young woman…. Who died centuries before Hells' kitchen was ever built. An ancient organisation made the mistake of bringing her back to life, and after killing the leader of the ancient organisation, she decided she never wanted to die again.
When she found the flower, she hid it from the rest of the world, refusing to share its power in order to keep herself young and immortal. And all she had to do was sing a little song.
Flower gleam and glow,
Let your power shine.
Make the clock reverse,
Bring back what once was mine.
What once was mine.
You get the gist. She sings a song and becomes young again…. creepy, right?
Now, due to a slight mistake, her hiding place was revealed, and the guards found the flower. Thanks to its healing properties, the Queen was healed and later, gave birth to a handsome baby boy with beautiful golden hair, who they called Franklin.
And in case you didn't guess, Franklin is Foggy, who I mentioned earlier.
To celebrate the prince's birth, the King and Queen sent a flying lantern up into the air…. and for that brief moment, everything was perfect.
It didn't last.
Elektra quickly figured out that the golden colour in Franklin's hair wasn't entirely natural and snuck into his bedroom one night. With the song, the prince's hair glowed, and Elektra attempted to remove a piece for her own personal use…. Only for it to fall limp and lose its golden sheen.
The power of the flower wouldn't work if the hair was cut…. Elektra was forced to make a terrible decision.
She stole Franklin straight from his cot and just like that, vanished into the night.
The kingdom searched and searched, but they couldn't find the prince… for deep within the forests that lay on the outskirts of Hell's Kitchen, there was a tower, where the immortal Elektra raised Franklin as her own son.
She had found her new magic flower…. This time, she was determined to keep it.
("Why can't I go outside?
"The outside world is a dangerous place, full of horrible, selfish people. You must stay here, where it's safe Foggy… do you understand?"
"Yes Mommy.")
But the walls of that tower couldn't hide everything. Each year, on his birthday, the King and Queen released thousands of lanterns into the sky, in the hope that one day their little prince would come home.
