The Stars Story

Once upon a time, in a far far away land, there lives a Princess named Surreality, in the Castle of Humblery. And there was this Prince named Vader who was born in the Castle of Folly but was given to a poor family whom took good care of him. When he was 21, he met Princess Surreality in the secret garden while he was mowing the grasses for the King. They both fell in love deeply and there is nothing in this world that they will not talk about. Their connection was so strong that they knew, one of these days, they will unite in the witness of the commoners celebrating on their joyous occasion.

And so one day, Prince Vader made a pact with Princess Surreality, that he will give her 5 stars on every special occasion until their big day arises.

And so on almost every birthdays, christmas, valentine’s day, Prince Vander will pluck 5 stars from the sky and keep them in a box crafted out from the natural crystal and present it to Princess Surreality. However, as the years goes by, Prince Vader and Princess Surreality had their usual quarrels and tiff like every commoners will experience but they were still going on strong.

One fine day, Prince Vader was strolling along the River of Fidelity and saw the Lady of Ignorance named Lady Serlatee. Lady Serlatee was mesmerized by his tanned skin and tall built and immediately fell for him. Though Lady Serlatee knew Prince Vader and Princess Surreality was an item, she can’t help it but to confess to Prince Vader of her affection. “Though you have someone in mind, but I need to tell you I like you. All my thoughts were written in the little diary I wrote not for you to read but I will just pass it to you. I have no intention to break up you and Princess Surreality but I must tell you how much I adore you. I will be traveling to the West soon and I dun think you will come with me, will you?”

As time goes by, their little adultery was caught by the magical unicorn of Castle Humblery and it immediately galloped off to inform Princess Surreality. The heart broken princess wept and confronted Prince Vader. Though they tried to work things out, the matter got worst and eventually Princess Surreality felt enough is enough and agreed that ending up is the best thing since she can never put her trust in Prince Vader anymore. In his darkest secret, Prince Vader had actually cast a curse on Princess Surreality by ripping her heart out in the middle of the night and burnt it with his magical flame. Cursing her that she will never be falling in love with another man. Eversince then, Princess Surreality fell terribly sick and was never able to see love in the eyes of the many men who yearn for her attention until she met Prince Dark Warrior (well, but that is not the point of the story so cont reading please).

Prince Vader and Lady Serlatee were leading a brand new life together as they have found the same trait in each other.

Another spring passed. Princess Surreality was strolling along the River of Fidelity, on her way to meet up Prince Dark Warrior for their english breakfast when it was interrupted by Lady Serlatee who caught a glimpse of her. Lady Serlatee approached Princess Surreality and said to her “Erm, are you the princess who was once with myself proclaimed husband-to-be, Prince Vader?” And Princess Surreality held her head high, ignored Lady Serlatee and walked off, continue enjoying the breeze and hearing the birds chirping. “See, see these? Forgot to share with you our happy occasion. He gave me 3 stars in this self crafted wooden box” Lady Serlatee smirked while seriously polishing and cleaning her 3 stars with care. “How many he gave you, Princess Surreality?” she continued.

Being a Princess from Castle of Humblery, Princess Surreality turned deaf to her annoying high pitch tone and crude question. She took a glance at Lady Serlatee and looked away and began to recite aloud: “Be humble and grateful, one shall be. Ignorant fools will never understand what humble means. And though one may be ignorant but not a fool for that fool is the one who has chosen you”. At the end of the sentence, Princess Surreality saw Prince Dark Warrior standing there, patiently waiting for her arrival. She smiled, quicken her pace, leaving Lady Serlatee confused and yet contented with her 3 stars in the wooden box.

(The End)
