THE STRANGE TALE OF MARIUS BOGFAE

Chapter 1: Narrator's Prologue

Narrator: Long time ago, in a realm where only fairies, elves, goblins, and imps roamed about, two kingdoms lived united as one after years of warring against one another. The Fairy Kingdom and the one of the Dark Forest finally connected after their royals, Princess Marianne from the Fairy Kingdom and the Bog King Lysander from the Dark Forest fell in love with one another after they found common interests and eventually got married. As expected, everyone was happy and could now go wherever they wanted. Peace was in the atmosphere as a new era began and joy spread even further in the brand new kingdom when it was announced that Queen Marianne was expecting a baby. That baby would be the very first goblin fairy hybrid to have ever existed.

But, months before the child was even born, a new threat was found lurking in the shadows. The menace was none other than the former fairy knight Roland. He was a selfish, arrogant man, who believed himself righteous and worthy of everything. Before our story even started, Roland tried to get the heart of Princess Marianne in order to become the next Fairy King. When his first attempt to marry her failed after she caught him cheating on her on their wedding day and became the warrior we know, he decided to use the Sugar Plum Fairy's powerful love potion in order to force Marianne into marrying him. Unfortunately for him, by the time he was actually able to use it on the Princess, it didn't work because she had fallen in love with the Bog King Lysander and true love was the only thing capable of thwarting the powers of the potion; Roland ended up punched down an abyss, sprayed by the love potion, which caused him to fall in love with a bug. However, scouts from the new kingdom have discovered that Roland was freed from the effects of the potion (how could it be possible, since he truly loved no one but himself?) and that his bug died, leaving him with thirteen eggs that hatched one by one, year after year, into fairy bugs who shared their father's hatred and anger, vowing to avenge him from those who wronged their family by plotting to take over the new kingdom and get rid of the 'hideous and beastly hybrid' that would inherit the throne.
