The Dog Prince
Near the King's castle was a
gloomy forest and in the middle stood an Old
willow tree. Next to
the old tree was river. On hot days the King's only
child
Shikamaru went to the middle of the forest to relax. To amuse
himself
there he would sometimes play chest against himself to
improve on his skills.
One day while improving
his skills there was a strong wind. It felt nice
against
Shikamaru's skin, though the wind was a little too strong and blew
a
pawn off his bored on to the grass. Shikamaru watched it roll
down into the
river and disappear under the water. The water was
so deep no one could see
the bottom. Shikamaru cursed and pouted.
This was his favorite chess board and
now one of the pawns had
gone missing.
"You are the King's son, why
are you pouting?" asked an unknown
voice.
Shikamaru looked around to see where the voice came from, and saw a
dog on
the bank of the river. His dark brown fur was wet and
dripping.
"Can you swim?" he asked the dog.
"I am sad because one of my pawns
from this chess board was
blown into the water and I cannot retrieve it."
"Do not pout," it spoke. "I can retrieve the pawn for you, but
what
will I get in return for playing fetch for you?"
"What do you wish for?" He asked the dog. "A towel to dry off
on, a
bone to chew on, or possibly a toy to play with? I am the
King's son I can
give you anything that you wish for."
The dog answered, "Towels, bone, or toys are not for me; but if you
will
love me, allow me to be your friend, to sit at the table and
eat from your
golden plate, drink from your cup, even sleep on
your bed. If you promise this
then I shall go down a fetch your
pawn."
"Oh yes, I promise it all to you!
Now please go fetch my pawn." While he
said this Shikamaru
thought 'What a silly dog. There is no possible way for
him to
mix into society.' But as soon at the dog had heard
Shikamaru's
promise he dove straight into the water. Pleasantly,
he swam up with the pawn
and placed it on the grass. Shikamaru
picked up his chess set thanking the dog
and ran off
immediately.
"Stop! Stop!" cried the dog.
However his barking was useless; even
though it was loud enough,
Shikamaru still could not hear it. After hurrying
home Shikamaru
soon forgot about the poor dog.
While sitting
at the table with his father, both eating a fine meal off
their
own golden plates, something was heard coming up the marble stairs.
Pitter patter, pitter patter; when it reached
the top it knocked twice and a
voice said "The only child of the
king, open the door!" So Shikamaru rose
and went to see who
called for him. When he opened the door the dog stood in
front of
him; he quickly closed the door. Shikamaru returned to the
table
looking rather pale.
"Who was at the
door Shikamaru?" His Father questioned. "You seemed
frighten
by whoever it was."
"I was a dog father. I
saw him in the forest the other day he must have
followed me
home." He answered, his voice a tad mumbled
At that moment there was another knock on the door, and the voice
said
"King's only child, open the door! Have you forgotten the
promise you
made at the bank of the stream under the willow
tree?"
"Of what promise does he speak?"
the king asked his son.
"The wind blew my
pawn into the water the other day. I was upset so the
dog said he
would go get it if I promised him to be his friend. I never
thought
he would find his way out of the forest."
"You must keep the promise you made to him," the King spoke,
"Now, go
open the door."
Shikamaru
opened the door letting the dog trot on by.
"Let me up!" the dog demanded. Shikamaru hesitated so long that
his
father ordered him to do as the dog wished. The dog now on the
table lay down
comfortably.
"Now let me
feed off of your golden plate," the dog ordered. The
King's
son unwilling pushed his plate to the dog and watched him eat.
With
every bite the dog took, Shikamaru lost more and more of his
appetite.
"I am no longer hungry, please
carry me to your bedroom for I am tired and
need rest," the dog
spoke.
Shikamaru began to pout, angering his
father.
"He helped you in your time of need
and now you would be so rude to
him?!" his father shouted.
Shikamaru picked up the door and carried him to his bedroom laying
him down
on the foot of his bed. Shikamaru climbed into bed
careful not to touch the
dog with his feet. The dog quickly got up
once Shikamaru lay down and moved up
to his pillow.
"I am very tired and now I shall sleep well," the dog yawned "Is
that
okay or shall I tell your father?"
This made Shikamaru angry.
"Now you be quite
mutt!" he yelled. "I will not become a slave to a
dog!" and
with all his strength Shikamaru threw the dog against the wall.
As the dog fell he was transformed into a handsome prince with the
most
beautiful eyes Shikamaru had ever seen. The Prince explained
how an evil witch
turned him into a dog and forced him to live in
the forest. After a little
while and with his father's consent,
Shikamaru was to go to the Prince's
castle and rule by his
side.
The next morning after the sun rose, a
carriage drawn by horses came to the
King's castle. On the
carriage was the Prince's trusty servant. When his
master was
turned into a dog he grieved so much the he had bound three
iron
bands around his heart hoping the pain of sorrow and grief
would disappear.
The servants helped both
princes into the carriage and sat himself behind
the horses, full
of joy at his master release
They had not
travelled far when the handsome prince heard a crack as if some
part
of the carriage was breaking. So the Prince put his head out the
window
and asked his trusty servant what had broken.
"It was not the carriage Master Kiba, but a band I had bound around
my
heart after you were turned into a dog," replied his servant.
Twice afterwards the noise was heard, each
time the prince would think it
was part of the carriage, but each
time it was again only the bands around his
trusty servant's
heart breaking and setting him free.
