by bellarke.loveforever

Jack the Giant Slayer AU: Bellamy wants an adventure away from the farm, while Princess Clarke just wants to get away. Two worlds collide and sparks fly. Throw a few surprises along the way, and you got yourself a fairytale, but with a few twists. How will this twisted tale end up? (Read the Author's Note at the bottom of the prologue, please :) )

1. Prologue

Prologue

Fe Fi Fo Fum.

Ask not whence the thunder comes. Ask not where the herds have gone. Nor why the birds have ceased their song.

When coming home, don't take too long. For monsters roam in Albion.

With seeds they pulled from magical pod, the monks grew a pathway to seek out their God.

When they came to what they thought was Heaven's gate, they met with a terrible, grisly fate.

For between Heaven and Earth was a perilous place. Gantua, home to a fierce giant race.

With a bridge now before them to the world of men, a plague of giants descends.

Taking a cue from the richest of kings, they acquired a taste for acquiring things.

But the one taste that caused them to lose all control, was a taste for the mankind; blood, bones and all.

King Eric bade the monks to return to the dark arts, to find some way to rule giant hearts.

So they melted one dow, mixed in magic and more, and they crafted a crown, unlike any before.

As soon as the king took the crown in hand, the giants were slave to his every command.

He sent them back to the place of their birth. Their home now a prison between Heaven and Earth.

Eric severed the link between giants and men. And peace returned to his kingdom again.

The mystical relics were all that remained, safe with Eric through the years that he reigned.

And when the time came at last for King Eric to sleep, he took crown and seed with him for permanent keep.

And as the king's bones slowly crumbled away, truth became legend.

Or so people say.

And jealous eyes are looking down, on peaceful fields in Albion.

An enemy vows will come a day, when giants return and giants stay.

To wage a war and this time win. And eat the last of Eric's kin.

AUTHOR'S NOTE: Not a hate bash on any character as a warning. Pure Bellarke fluff story. I watched the movie and thought of Bellamy and Clarke so I tweaked the characters and roles and made it work. I love the movie so I had to write this. Also, I've already typed the entire story out and it's all on documents ready to be published by chapters. My plan is one chapter per week, but maybe sooner depending on reviews and how eager everyone is to read more. I can't wait to share this story that took a lot of hard work and writing for me with all of you 100 fans, and Bellarke shippers :) Thanks in advance all :)
