Yes this is a "neopet" related story. I put neopet in brackets because the story itself really has nothing to do with neopets other then that fact that the characters are my neopets.
I know a little childish but hey inspiration is inspiration right? If you are unfamiliar with neopet species you may not understand the characters appearences. Anywho the gist of the story is there is a farm boy who is kidnapped by the queen then meets the queen's daughter and falls inlove with her. yes it's a love story. You've been warned.
Prologue
It was a morning like every other morning. The bright sun of earlier dawn shewn into the creaks of the blinds on Saber's window With a yawn and a stretch, Saber rolled onto his side to shelter his eyes. A new morning. A new day. A new work load. Were the thoughts that flew in his mind as he managed to roll out of bed. He messily made his bed then headed to the kitchen for his breakfast. Saber never dreaded the large work load that stood before him each morning. In fact he enjoyed every moment of it. He grew up with this farm life, and he grew up loving it. It was the only way of living he had ever known. His father had taught him everything he knew. Milking cows , feeding chickens, and growing crops. Everything he would ever need in order to keep the family farm running. Saber took a bite into his apple as he gazed upon a portrait of his parents on a near by self. The thought of his father reminded him of the days when he was a young boy following his father around watching his every move, learning his every move. Then running back inside with the smell of his mother's freshly baked pie in the air. The thought made a sharp pain in Saber's stomach. He missed them. Things have been terribly quiet and lonely since their passing six years ago. But there was no time to sit around and mourn when there was work to be done. So Saber grabbed his hat and sickle and headed outside.
Just another day to put behind me. Kacheegoo thought to herself as she plucked the petals off a daisy then threw them out her open window She watched them flutter downwards until they hit the ground. So free, flowing with the breeze, just for a moment and then stuck flat on the ground . The petals reminded her a lot of herself. Free and then trapped for a lifetime. Before her father's passing three years ago, Kacheegoo was aloud to come and go whenever she pleased. She loved it. During the day she would take long strolls in town, visiting good friends and helping the poor. Being able to feel the fresh air brush against her skin, being able to fill her lungs with the beautiful scent of the season. It felt like so long ago, as if it were only a dream. A figment of her imagination she made up in order to brighten up the darkness of her days. Since the awful accident with her father, Kacheegoo's mother has banished her to never leave her tower. Forever locked away in the castle, never again being able to experience life beyond the stone walls that surrounded her. "Just once I'd like to go outside..just once more. "
It was Sunday. The day of the week Saber took his fresh crops, eggs, and milk down into town to the nearest market to be sold. As he road into town approaching the market he heard a loud scream from a women nearby. Saber couldn't help but turn to see what had happened. To his surprise he saw two of the queen's mean looking henchmen whipping a young women laying on the ground in front of them. Quickly getting off his horse, Saber ran up the men.
Hey, Stop That!" Saber yelled in with his deep husky voice.
The two henchmen look up stunned that anyone would even consider standing up for a peasant. Seeing that it was merely a farm boy the two men laughed.
"I mean it! You have no right to hurt this innocent women!"
"Innocent?" Saber looked up to discover the queen herself sitting on her horse behind the henchmen.
Excuse me child but if you had half a brain you would know not to be sticking your nose were it doesn't belong." The queen looked down at Saber with a devilish stare.
Pardon me your Majesty but I was simply helping a fragile women from torchure she did not deserve."
"Did you not hear me boy? I said it is none of your concern. Now be gone before I have you locked away in my dungeons to! Boys throw her in the carriage. She will see to the rest of her punishment when we return to the castle."
"Wait! Your Majesty, you can't do that!"
"I've had enough of you boy! Boys take him to while your at it."
As the henchmen grabbed a hold of Saber's arms and dragged him back to a carriage attached to their horses, he knew not to fight back, for it would only make things worse. But he couldn't help but think what would become of his farm. And as they began to ride off towards the castle, Saber began planning his escape.
