Chapter 1: A Fairy Tale

"It was said that the Queen was the most beautiful omega in the entire town, some people said the entire world, a fair and loyal ruler who put his people and his kingdom before anything else in the entire world.

The happiest day of the queen's life was his wedding day, the day he would be married to the king of diamonds and join the kingdoms of diamonds and spades.

On this day the queen has gifted a potion that would give him eternal life, something the townspeople had been planning since the beautiful queen was born. They wanted their kingdom ruled over forever by the beautiful and fair queen and while he was flattered, the queen turned down the gift with the words "This kingdom is much more important" and so he used half of the potion to bless the soil and the lives of everyone who lived there for the next 1000 years, saving the other half.

For years everybody went to the queen with their problems, but the kingdom got selfish and slowly started to take advantage of the queen's kindness. The queen was asked to do more and more every day and eventually announced that he could not keep up so much work, it was making him sick and tired and he would have to end his reign.

The townspeople were outraged and built a tower in which to keep their 'traitorous' queen, one so tall that you needed a ladder 50 feet high to get inside or leave.

They abandoned the queen there, occasionally bringing him food and water. The king would visit his bride often, unable to do anything about the kingdom which insisted on keeping the queen imprisoned.

The queen did not mind and built a very beautiful home in the tower, even though it had very few rooms and only a very high up window as access to the outside, he was simply happy that the kingdom was no longer working him to death.

One day, the king announced that on one of his visits, the imprisoned queen had become pregnant and the kingdom wondered whether it was better to release him from his confines.

One of the guards from the kingdom went to the tower and shouted up to the queen, "your majesty, the kingdom had granted you freedom". When he got no response from the omega queen, he took a ladder and climbed to see if he was okay. He found the queen sat on a chair, knitting what seemed to be a blanket. "your majesty, did you not hear me? the kingdom wishes for you to return."

The queen met the guard's gaze and said simply, "But I do not wish to return. The kingdom asks too much of me, they took advantage of me, and now I will keep myself and my child safe from all of those people. Now if you wouldn't mind, please leave my home."

The guard went back to the kingdom and gave the news to the people of the kingdom, half of whom were shocked and guilt-ridden, the other half angry and hate filled at the queen's choice.

Several months later, when the queen was only 23, his child was born. Half of the kingdom was still outraged at the queen's noncompliance and planned to burn the tower down. The king knew that the queen was in danger and met with him that day, warning him of the impending disaster. He begged the queen to leave and return to the kingdom but he refused.

Feeling he had no other choice, the king slipped the other half of the eternal life potion into the queen's tea when he was not looking and asked if he could take the new prince in the hopes that at least the child would be safe.

Worried about the child's safety, the queen bid the baby goodbye and trusted him in the king hands.

Later that night, the queen waited in his tower for the kingdom to burn it down, however, that never came. The next morning when the queen realised he was still alive, he looked out the window only to see his kingdom overturned with fright and death.

The day the king had taken the prince, the town was infected with the plague, and many were dead. Unable to leave his tower, the queen waited for the desire to take him as well, but that day never came.

Thanks to the potion the queen had used on his kingdom, many lives were spared and the epidemic ended quickly. Once it was over, the townspeople looked everywhere for the king and prince, who had gone missing in the panic. Without them to rule, they went back to the queen and begged him to take over until the missing pair were found.

The queen accepted, feeling sorry for the kingdom, but only on the grounds that everybody would do everything they could to try and find his husband and child. The kingdom agreed and while many were still angry at the queen, they accepted his temporary rule, with the hopes that he would go back to the tower once the king was back.

The queen worried and worried for many years but neither his husband nor his baby were ever found, and he settled back into his royal position. As the years passed, the queen did not change in any aspect. He was just as kind and fair, and with the potion, his beauty never faltered. It became obvious that the king had given his wife the potion and while he was slightly upset, the kingdom was happy that they would keep their queen forever. Unfortunately, the people who had come to hate the queen became more restless, demanding new people in power, the queen made an announcement.

"This kingdom has shown nothing but greed and hate. I felt sympathy for you when the king was lost, but not anymore. I will return to my tower and let you destroy yourselves with your hatred"

Over the years the tower became surrounded by a thick forest and the queen has not been seen since, many people have gone looking for the tower with the hopes that the queen would bless them with the same eternal life, but there is talk of slave hunters in the woods, and so very few return, and those that do, return empty-handed.

Soon, the kingdom chose new royals and the queen's blessing kept the kingdom alive for one thousand years, just as he had promised. every harvest was perfect, every child was born healthy and well, sickness was rare and diseases never lasted long, the entire kingdom prospered, however, once the day of the blessing ended, the king of spades found himself filled with the greed that the kingdom had avoided for 1000 years. he took everything for himself and the people of spades suffered greatly, many driven into poverty, children starving to death in the streets, adults stealing stale bread as their only meal that month, diseases ran rampant through the kingdom and the water source became infected. The king took water from the other kingdoms, but only for himself, leaving the people sick. The line between rich and poor grew thicker every day.

With every ounce of strength they had, the people made one more potion, with the hopes that they could bless the land just as the queen had done, but alas it failed. Legend says that one day, the eternal queen will bless us once more, and return spades to the kingdom it once was and save everybody here."

Alfred closed the book and smiled at his daughter, she looked back and smiled, "do you think the queen really will come here and help us all?"

"One day, now go to sleep" he kissed her forehead and she lay down in her straw bed, letting sleep take her.

There wasn't a person in the kingdom who didn't believe the tale, everybody hoped the queen would one day return, but it had been over 5000 years since the blessing had worn off, and the beautiful queen showed no sign of returning. Many thought it was because he was heartbroken over the loss of his husband and child, others thought the queen despised the kingdom for how it had treated him. All Alfred knew was that he couldn't rely on a fairy tale for the rest of his life.

I'm probably going to rush into this story a bit too much, but I don't want it to be too long.
