OMGAKITTY Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 An original short story. There was once a small kingdom. The King was kind and wise, and soon, his kingdom spread with great prosperity. Finding himself unable to rule this new vast empire, the king called upon popular members of the peasantry, and made them members of his court. These new Dukes and Barons were to go out and keep the peace throughout the vast kingdom. For awhile, this worked. However, things soon grew dark for this once-great kingdom. The king grew deathly ill, and could no longer call upon his Dukes and Barons for daily reports on the activity in his kingdom. More and more, he retreated within his own palace, and ignored the pleas of his citizens. The Dukes and Barons soon found themselves without a strong leader. They began to test the limits of their power, expanding their own riches instead of caring for their people. Some saw this, and cried out against them. They were silenced. Some were jailed, some where exiled, and some were outright executed."Treason! Blasphemous treason!" the nobility would proclaim, as the cut the heads.Slowly, but surely, there was change in this empire. Gone were the fruitful days of joy and prosperity. A new age had dawned.

Weather Report - Stand Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 I'd say something, but there's not enough stuff to talk about. Anyways, if you WERE going for a stereotypical hero king story thing, I'm rooting all the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
