Once upon a time in a far away land their lived a beautiful princess named Ivory. She lived with her Mother, Queen Maria in a large castle. His Father, King Thaddeus is on a great expedition in distant land in conquering new properties.
As king Thaddeus traveled the great seven seas with the largest fleet the kingdom had ever built, many people have known him because of his bravery and of being a kind-hearted man, many of his soldier and men like him a lot.
Queen Maria perhaps seems different among the other, she is the only queen that makes everyone intimidated and perfectly opposite with the king. So the queen just stayed in the castle whole day long or sometimes asked her servants to accompany her to the forest for a horseback riding. On the absence of the king it was Queen Maria who took up his husband’s responsibility to her daughter’s affection and that makes Princess Ivory felt different towards his father king.
One stormy night, the king woke up breathing so heavily from a nightmare, he dreamed that beyond the mountain of Nineveh lived a very horrible creature, gargantuan and very fierce. That very morning the king visits the seer of the castle. He divulges all the detail of his dreamed and the seer interpreted them one by one. The king was shocked on the interpretation of the seer. It was stated on the seer’s basin that the hideous creature behind the mountain of Nineveh will be the one who will going to destroy their land, and even attacked the castle and burned the city down. And will eat all the flesh of its men and women of the castle.
Because of this, the king was challenge to face the creature, he felt insulted by this. No one could ever defeat him in any battle, he conquered hundreds of lands and this time he will go to kill the creature to save his mankind. And so the king prepared for this. But he was stopped by the Queen and his daughter, convincing him to stay because it would be too dangerous for him to trounce the monster. But no one could ever stop the king this time.
Certain of his decision, he gathered his man and planned to attacked the monstrous creature. In that very dawn, they march towards the mountain of Nineveh. As they reach the bottom of the mountain the king decided to set the camp for them to rest. But the king never been able to sleep, wickedly awake and completely prepared for any unwanted intruder. But the night pass quietly serine, no harm was detected.
As the dawn reaches the land, the troop is preparing for another march. As the king commanded for them to move, a soldier came to King Thaddeus for some report. The news was quite mysterious and indeed a threat to their travel. The young soldier reported the tank of their water was mysteriously drained out from its container. Immediately the King asked them to check for any leak of the tank, but to leak was ever found. The king was mystified by the event, so he asked every man to check their own water pocket, but again the containers were completely empty. Wild conclusions drops into every soldiers mind. They cannot continue the march without the water. So the king ordered half of his with their horses to go back to the castle to get water and must immediately come back for them to join the march and everyone could have a drink. At that very moment, half of the troop traveled back to the castle.
With great bravery, King Thaddeus still believe that they will survive the march and putting the life of his men to risk. As they march miles and miles away. A rush of water was being issued from a distant fountain and every men runs towards the water and quenching every inch of their thirstiness. But as soon as the water touches their throats, everyone turns into a stone. The king was shocked by the events his eyes had witness. He loss quarter of is man.
They were now few.
Marching the dark side of the mountains the King and his men were now very much conscious on every move. More miles are waiting for them. They were in the middle of their expedition as they reach a clearing and then decided again for them to have a rest. With thirsty throats, numbing legs, and heart full of courage over fear, all the men took a rest. In a sudden moment silence of the forest, rustling leaves among branches was heard by all of them and suddenly a colorful bird appeared above the branch of the trees where they have camped. Bird is more like a peacock in appearance but with a beautiful harmony of voice. The bird sings very serenely and melodiously that makes every men fall asleep. But the king commanded them not to sleep, maybe that this is the monsters trick. But all his men cannot refuse to accept the melody of the bird and all of them took a very quite sleep to death.
All of them died sleeping, except the king and a few more of his soldiers. But the king made a decision that troubled his men. He ordered them to go back to their family and spread the story of their adventure. But his men refuses, but the king commanded them with valor and pride. His man cannot do anything but obey the king’s command.
King Thaddeus bravery is immeasurable. All the trickery of the monster, from the waters drying out, into the mysterious fountain and to the bird’s sleepy music was monster’s whole plan to face the king alone.
At last King Thaddeus can see the horizon of the back end of the mountain, all he can see was a vast endless lake. No sign of ripples in the surface of the water, oily like. The king shouted, thinking that this is the monster’s lair. Without hesitation a single circle of ripples and into two ripples until the whole lake is full or ripples issued from the center of the lake came up a beautiful woman. King Thaddeus commanded the woman to show her face because it’s showing its naked back from him. Then the monster slowly and gracefully swings its shoulder into the king’s eyes revealing a familiar face. The king was shocked to see her daughter’s face. From the very first time King Thaddeus felt afraid of killing the monster. Because of the present situation in seeing his daughter’s face, make him weak. The monster knows the weakness of the king, the monster is very canny. Then the monster speaks, very much the same with princess Ivory’s voice. “Kill me father, this is your plan from the start of your voyage. Then do this now” whisper the monster. Then the king replied with weakness in his voice “Dare not to use my daughter’s face to hide your wickedness, I am here, certain to kill you”. But in a glimpse of the king’s eyes, the monster vanish in the thin air and immediately appearing in front of him.
The king was stunned by the speed of his enemy and they were nose to nose facing each other. Looking into directly the eyes of his daughter lays a different kind of feeling. The king felt numb of his arms and cannot swing his sword to slaughter the monster. Then the monster whisper into his ears “Kill me now father…you think I don’t love you? But father I do.” The king can smell from the monster’s breath of burned metal and scorching ashes. But the king cannot fight any courage anymore and a droplet of tears fall into his eyes and embraces the body of his daughter.
With devious smile, the monster held its arms up issuing a dagger from nowhere and digs it down to King Thaddeus’s ribs. With splatters of blood from the ribs of the king a stream of red fluid runs into the lake. Then with his last breath he issued a muffled voice into the monster’s ears. “I can face any battle of life, but seeing my daughter felt distant with me, makes me wish to dig that dagger of death myself” he paused “I LOVE YOU, my daughter”. Suddenly the monster screams aloud, a scream of remorse and malevolence, and the monster is burned to death.
As king Thaddeus traveled the great seven seas with the largest fleet the kingdom had ever built, many people have known him because of his bravery and of being a kind-hearted man, many of his soldier and men like him a lot.
Queen Maria perhaps seems different among the other, she is the only queen that makes everyone intimidated and perfectly opposite with the king.
