It was a beautiful day on the rock farm, until Diamond woke up with a stomach ache.
"Papa...I don't feel so well...", Diamond moaned, laying in her bed with a bucket next to her, holding Nite's paw as Marble examined her.
"What did you eat last night?", Marble asked with concern.
"I tried eating some of Papa's enchiladas, they didn't quite agree with my stomach.", she moaned before hurling into the bucket.
"Oh, honey...I'm sorry, I should have put it somewhere where you wouldn't have found it! Those are spicy enough to melt a slab of limestone!"
"It's not your fault, Papa! I shouldn't have eaten it.", she said, before hurling some more.
"You need some rest, we'll leave you alone now.", Marble sighed, kissing her forehead before leaving with the room with Nite.
"Papa!", Diamond whimpered, stopping Nite, "Can you...ACK!...tell me a story?"
"What kind of a story?", he asked, making himself comfortable at the foot of her bed.
"Make up a story.", she smiled.
"Okay, let's see here...alright... Once upon a time, in a kingdom far, far away, there was a beautiful princess, her name was Princess Diamond along with her 25 other siblings. And she had a beautiful mother named Queen Marble. Her father, King Granite, was a kind, graceful king, who ruled the land with truth and kindness. One day, however, the dear Princess Diamond got terribly ill, and the only thing that could heal her was a magic flower, that was guarded by a evil manticore, in a tall tower, on a really tall mountain, far, far, FAR away!", he started, immediately making Diamond chuckle at the emphasis he put on the FAR.
"What? It was really far. Anyway, the king decided to go get the flower himself, because he was afraid that one of his knights would not be fast enough. He didn't want his little princess to suffer. So he went across the deepest oceans, the driest desert, up the highest mountain, climbing the tallest tower, defeating the manticore, and bringing back the flower. And the flower helped make his daughter feel better, for he loved his children very much...so much... I would do anything for you guys.", Nite smiled as she fell asleep.
He kissed her forehead before getting up and leaving, whispering, "Rest well, My Little Princess Diamond."
