A Never Ending Tale – Wish of a Lifetime
We had all read fairy tales since we were kids. Damsel-in-distress princesses, prince knight-in-shining-armor, and of course, Fairy godmother! Now let's twist this a bit. . .
Instead of a princess in distress, let's have a prince! No. . . rather than prince, a homeless boy in distress. And instead of a Fairy godmother, a genie would do. A girl who'll fulfill your desires . . . except she's not your average genie either.
A tale of a boy who wants to get to his princess and a girl who wants to be free.
First Wish:
A Star's Tale
"Did you know? If you wish it upon a shooting star, your wish will come true!"
Upon those words, the pink haired boy believed him. "If I make a wish upon a star . . . will I be able to see her again?"
The man paused. "Uhh. But it had to be a shooting star! If you didn't make a wish before a shooting star disappear it won't come true! They disappear quickly though, so it was practically impossible." He told him frankly.
"Why would they disappear quickly? Don't the stars want to grant wishes?"
He laughed. "Well, some says that those shooting stars were fairies travelling the sky".
"Fairies? What's that?"
"They were the naughty magical creatures who like causing trouble in the celestial realm. As punishment, the gods and goddesses sent them down here on earth and bound them to grant human wishes until they become good people. Fairies don't like it though, so they escape before they could hear a human wish and try to fly high in the sky to get back to their realm".
"I see. . . Then I'll just catch a fairy!"
The man rubbed the boy's hair. "Hahaha! Good luck with that. Fairies are fast, you know?"
"I'll train hard! Then . . . then . . . I will definitely meet her!"
That was his only wish to the stars.
. . . To meet the girl who saved his life.
