Fairy Queen

by Dee Rhymz

48 year old queen Anna-Marie discovers her shameful past to be still alive in the minds of the people, but when she decides to use a standard invitation to a royal ball as an excuse to show up and brag, she ends up in a hostage scene directed by a barbaric prince. NOTE: This stars the genderbent Edd and Marie Kanker. For more information, look up "Fairy Queen" at the Edfanon Wiki.

1. Anna-Marie

Once upon a time, there was an old queen. A most unfortunate lady, in every sense of the word.

Her kingdom and status were considered a joke by all. While the land she lived in was a beautiful wilderness, it lacked life; there wasn't a single resident, besides the occasional bug, bird or fish.

Naturally, the other kings and queens thought this kingdom to be a waste of space, and they shared the same opinion about the land's queen. All the surrounding kingdoms had fought many victorious battles, but they even skipped the queen's home on their quests for land and treasure. She could only be thankful, as she didn't have an army, either.

When she was still young and a candidate for marriage, all would turn a blind eye at her sight. Her parents' unimpressive reputation was a bad start for her, but she also happened to lack the physical appearance that would attract a young prince. When so many beautiful ladies would walk the planet, who would long for her? Some would call her skinny, others would be more kind and call her slender, but her bodyframe looked like there was not much effort needed to snap her in half. There were hardly any hips, there was hardly any chest, by far the biggest thing about her was her brain.
In a world and a time were a woman's most important role in life was to give offspring to her husband, no one considered the meager queen for a bride. She, her kingdom, and family's reputation wasn't worth fusing two families for.

Eventually the queen's parents gave up and never attended a bonding ball again. Instead, they continued on teaching their daughter all about the world and encouraged her to be curious and smart. Two years after pulling her out of the race, they passed away, and all the queen had left was herself.

For years she spent her days alone, in a small and old ruin of a castle that had no windows and no doors, without having seen another face. Yet no one had forgotten her. She was still known as the "pathetic ruler" of the laughable Green Kingdom.

But one day, a visitor entered her kingdom with an unusual invitation.
