This story contiues to surprise even me. Let me state once again that this story may or may not follow in the story lines put out by the Comic or Television by the same name.
Part Eight.
"That's right." Ian's voice seemed to echo softly in Sara's head, and feather like touches stroked her heart as images began to flicker across her closed eyelids as the man spoke. "Once upon a time there was a young princess named Lilly. She was a bright girl and a very pretty girl. Her parents loved her very much and made sure she never wanted for anything." Sara could see every word come to life and wondered if the children could see what she saw. "This was very easy because Lilly never wanted anything for herself. She was always more concerned with other people."
"As Lilly grew, she became very smart because everything she saw she would ask questions and then listen to the answers. Soon her parents discovered that Lilly could converse with all kinds of animals. They knew their child was a special gift and brought in teachers from all over the planet to help her learn ways of using her talents."
"In another part of the world, there was an evil Overlord. He was powerful and very cruel. He was also very smart and pretended to be good." Suddenly Sara saw Kenneth Irons in her minds eye. "No one knew how evil this Overlord was. Others only knew that he was very rich and gave money away all the time. This made the Overlord very popular with a lot of people."
"Now this Evil Overlord was in search of three things." Sara knew that Ian was connecting with her and trying to tell her something, so she continued to listen with her eyes closed tightly. "He was searching for a very special bracelet. This bracelet would keep good and bad things just the right distance away from each other. He didn't want to use it that way though. He wanted the bracelet so he could control the bad things and make himself more powerful." Ian paused a moment before continuing. "He was also looking for the right lady to wear the bracelet. He would have to be careful and make the lady think he was good so she would do everything he told her to do." Sara felt anger rise but fought it down. "He was also looking for a warrior that would always protect and care for this lady so that she would not be stolen or harmed by anyone else that might also want the bracelet. So the Overlord began to search all over the world for these three things."
"As Lilly continued to grow into a beautiful woman and do well in her studies, the Evil Overlord continued to look for and finally found the bracelet. He was pleased at his find. Now he only had to find the two people to make his plan work."
"One day, while he was at the home of Lilly's Mother and Father, the Overlord saw Lilly and thought that she was beautiful. He tried to get her attention but she was busy with her studies and never looked or spoke to him. This made the Overlord very angry because he was used to people doing what he wanted."
"He tried to get Lilly's parents to send the girl with him, promising to continue her education in places and with people they would never be able to afford. Her parents thought about it, but told the Overlord that they wanted their daughter to stay with them and leave only when she wanted to."
"The Overlord was furious and began to make plans to take the beautiful Lilly away with him whether or not her parents wanted him too. Late that night he left their home very angry and swore that he would get what he wanted."
"Time passed and soon Lilly and her parents forgot about the evil Overlord. Lilly continued to grow and learn. She had discovered the secrets to all kinds of things that people today call magic. To Lilly they were just things that she thought that everyone should be able to do."
"One day while she was in her garden, Lilly heard a lot of angry yelling and crashing in her home. She rushed in and began looking for her parents. They were gone. She found things broken all over but could not find her mother and father. Lilly was very scared and cried." Sara felt her own tears roll down her cheek and wiped them away. "Lilly called the police and they came to her. She told them what she had heard and found in the house. They asked her questions and wrote down her answers but couldn't tell her where her parents were."
"Just as the Police were about to leave, the Overlord drove up in a big fancy black car. He got out quickly and after looking at all the police cars, came into the house. He saw that Lilly was crying and asked what was wrong. Lilly was so overcome with grief that she ran to the Overlord and fell into his arms and cried out everything that had happened. The Overlord held her and spoke softly to her. He promised that he would help her find her parents and that she could stay with him until they were found. Not knowing what else to do, Lilly agreed."
"And so Lilly's time with the Overlord began. At first he was good to his word and used all his connections to find Lilly's parents. Days turned into weeks, and weeks into months. Still no word." Sara felt the sadness in Ian's words as he spoke. "As he looked, the Overlord urged Lilly on with her studies. He brought teachers in to help. Lilly was glad to have something to think about, but still felt a sadness in her heart because she had loved her parents so much."
"One day, the Overlord called for Lilly. She came to him in his sitting room and there, in front of a roaring fireplace, the Overlord told Lilly that her parents had finally been found. At first Lilly was overcome with joy. She laughed and hugged the Overlord who didn't move. Lilly asked why he wasn't happy too? The Overlord sadly explained that Lilly's parents were dead."
"Bastard!" Sara hissed under her breath.
"Lilly told the Overlord that it couldn't be true, but as she looked into his eyes, she knew that indeed, she would never see her parents alive again. Lilly was overcome with grief and ran out of the sitting room and cried for days."
"Through her days of grief the Overlord came to her many times and tried to comfort her. She accepted what kindness he offered and slowly Lilly found that she was falling in love with the Overlord."
"As days went by, she found her heart becoming lighter and it was easier for her to laugh. Lilly was once more becoming happy. Something else had happened. Lilly was growing up. She was no longer a child but a beautiful woman. This was not lost to the Overlord who loved to surround himself with beautiful things. He courted and wooed the Princess until one day she allowed the Overlord to take her as men take a wife." Suddenly the images behind Sara's eyes turned very erotic and sensual. She could almost feel the sensations of bodies sliding over each other. Her eyes snapped open and she found that Ian was staring straight at her.
"What the…" She glanced at the children who seemed to still have their eyes closed. All of them smiling innocently.
"Those are for your eyes only Lady Sara." Ian's soft voice invaded her mind. "The innocent ones see and hear only a simple fairy tale of knights and princesses to be rescued." Before he was able to say anything else to her, Sara turned and practically ran out of the park in confusion. She didn't turn to see Ian face the children once more and continue his tale.
