Short Story: Kingdom of Mavis-Daydreamer
minikoiwosaki

There once lived a girl who daydreamed to the point that she often fell into trouble. She would often walk into things and end up with all sorts of scrapes and bruises, sometimes even running into people. She loved to tell people about them and it wasn't long before they realized that some of her daydreams were actually visions and were coming true. They soon became to fear her and soon the only ones who would even speak to her were messengers from the king.

It was at such a time that the king's messenger's appeared to ask for her help in rescuing his sister. A monstrous beast had held her captive on a whim and no one had any inkling of where his lair could be. For the first time in her life, the little girl met people who came up with stories just like she did and she agreed to go with them for the sake of hearing these tales. She lead one after another to the dragon's lair until there were none left and she was once again all alone. She decided to disappear and went to live alone in the White forest where no humans dared enter.

Ten years passed before she met another person and it was another storyteller at that. The storyteller was named Aliya and she was shocked to hear the daydreamer she had heard of was then only a teenager and had been no more than five years when she had helped in the earlier rescue attempts of the king's sister. The daydreamer had been adamant that she would stop leading more people into the beast's lair but she soon warmed up to Aliya and the two became close. It was Aliya who decided that the daydreamer needed a real name and calling her simply by her title was not enough. She named her Kairi and continued to cajole her into leading her to the lair but their new friendship just further hardened Kairi's resolve to protect Aliya from the beast.

Aliya had made the journey in the company of a group of mercenaries and it was their leader, Elar, that finally came up with a plan. He suggested that if they wanted to rule out failure and convince the storyteller that they would succeed, they first had to figure out the beast's origins to figure out the secret to beating him. Kairi agreed to their plan and soon they prepared for another journey. Kairi had seen a vision of the beast's birthplace in the nearby kingdom of Aionnes and it was there that their search was to begin. A sorceress who had been travelling through the forest heard of their dilemma, offered to transport them directly to the kingdom's capital with a transportation circle and the band of heroes were able to spare themselves the hours of travel and soon arrived in the city. They set out on their search for knowledge and came to know the beast was called Kamatra, a seven headed wyvern that had been born in the previous millennium. They gathered more info until Kairi had a vision of a street performer who knew the secret of defeating the beast and it was with him, that they continued their journey and rescued the king's sister.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
