The Betrayal of Two Towns

This article was written by UMADBRO on 2012-01-22 under Novels & Stories.

Hello, Posters. As we all know there is a story section on the site, I thought I might post a 'supernatural' fairy tale that has a moral at the end. I hope you all enjoy it.

 

Within a Kingdom not too far from this realm,

Existed two towns.

The Town of Light, located in the North,

and the Town of Dark, settled in the South.

 

The Town of Light had thought relations to be peaceful between the towns,

however,

such a happy thought was not so.

Unbeknownst to the kind-hearted citizens of the Town of Light,

the Town of Dark began plotting schemes of unsavory fashion.

 

A hooded figure stole through the shadows,

bestowing herself upon a carefree and sweet citizen of the Town of Light.

She told him of wonderous anomolies he could share if he did only one favor,

a favor she would none but guide him to; one he would complete alone.

Little did the innocent citizen of the Town of Light know,

a wicked gleam of the eye who doth hid,

a covering made easy when one wears a heavy hood.

 

The citizen of the Town of Light was exuberant about the goodness he bestowed.

'What favor I did for thee!,' the sweet citizen rejoiced.

Unfortunately for the kind-hearded citizen,

happiness turned to something most dreadful.

 

'You keep a traitor in the presence of the Kingdom,'

shouted a raspy voice in the shadows.

Aghast and pale, the citizen of the Town of Light's heart plummetted.

What once was merriment turned swiftly to dismay.

 

Taken in by all the King's men,

friends of the kind-hearted citizen thought he may never be seen again.

Little did the townsfolk notice in the shadow of the light,

a cloaked figure lurked off and away,

making haste escaping within the hours of the night.

 

'What awful affair has beseeched us?', cried the citizens of the Town of Light.

The King's men blamed the townsfolk for the aftermath of a ruse made in the dark.

Confused and flabbergasted the kind townsfolk remained,

unaware of the political corruption and trickery,

conjured within the dark domain.

 

Fear not, Readers!

As all fairy tale genres of literary works must note,

one can count on forest creatures, for the truth that they denote.

 

The bear, the fawn, the faeries, the bluejay,

the mice and squirrels, too,

gathered along with all of the other woodland creatures,

around a meadow within the wood.

 

Who to look on upon this hour,

was answered soon.

It was none other than a creature with the most cunning power,

who's graceful movement doth swoon.

 

A red streak of fur was sighted bounding upon a stump.

A bushy tail curled around feet that resembled white socks.

Of all the creatures, the title of Cunning did she doth trump,

for who out of all creatures can outdo the cunning of a fox?

 

The vixen addressed the crowd, 'Behold!',

'Within the late hour of the next day,

we will know of the betrayal's ruin we must slay.'

 

With a gesture she called forth a creature of flight.

'I bring you our friend with cunning talent, like I,

for who has sharper vision than the cunning hawk's eye?'

 

When the clock tower bell struck the late hour,

the hawk did fly to his destination.

Perched upon a window sill, information was revealed,

keen eyes read lips and documents.

 

'With the knowledge bestowed upon me,

I will surely plan to use it to help a village in need.'

With a flutter of wings the hawk did steal,

a neatly rolled scroll with a fresh, new seal.

 

Upon delivery, the vixen did unravel,

a piece of parchment with a plot clearly labelled.

 

She presented the plot to the banker, the grocer, and the baker,

the blacksmith, the housewife,

and friends of good nature.

 

The good townsfolk of the Town of Light were soon aware--

every little plot against them is what the vixen shared. :3

 

A new hope arose within the honest townfolk;

the virtuous vixen and other forest creatures were escorted to the King,

along with a sense of justice, a selfless sense to save the innocent of an innocent town.

 

'Here, here!', did they shout to the King's guard;

luckily the King too was swayed,

surrounded amongst the people with his faithful guard, he did come.

 

At long last, the evidence was laid.

With raised eyebrows, the King closed the parchment,

'Well, its due time a chice must be made.'

 

The Royal Guard hard on his heels,

with all the King's citizens of the North,

and all the King's men,

were driven with an idea to make a decision.

 

Alas, reprimands were given,

and justice was served in righteous fashion;

all were on the path to restore the land.

 

As in all fairy tale endings,

right triumphs over wrong,

political corruption ends,

and the villians are sent on their way to think upon their sins.

 

Now, with peace finally restored,

new friendships can be made between two towns of virtuous folk.

 

The end. :)

 

Moral of the story: Karma is a bitch, so don't piss Karma off. ^-^

 

Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoyed,

A.
