A fairy tale

Once upon a time, in a foreign land where people spoke a weird language, there lived a beautiful princess. Over the hills and far away from the princess , there lived a prince, Prince Charming. Days passed and they didn’t know about each other’s existence…

One day our princess had to go for a long journey. She enjoyed travelling and was happy to arrive at the sea. Fate decided to play a trick on the princess, and Prince Charming happened to travel there as well. He didn’t arrive on a white horse though (not even on his black lion), but in a metal dragon. The prince was looking for a woman to share his life with, but he couldn’t settle for anything less than the best, so he came up with a test. If the lady knew the answer to his question, she would win his heart. One evening our princess was sitting next to the prince, and he asked her the question “What is an offside?”…

To prince’s surprise the princess not only knew the answer, but she also knew the difference between passive and active offside. The princess passed the test. The prince couldn’t be happier that he finally found the one. There was only one problem, actually two: mountains, forests and rivers separating them, and the fact that the princess wasn’t single. They parted, each in their own direction…

Even though the prince didn’t have any hopes to win the princess’s heart, he was happy to receive a mail from the princess. They exchanged letters back and forth. Meanwhile the princess became single again, but the prince didn’t know that. The mail continued to be carried through magical fibers. With every letter the princess liked the price more. One day she discovered he was THE prince, since he shared her love for books. But the price still thought the princess wasn’t on the market…

Princess was thinking how to update her relationship status in the mind of the prince. And then by a magical power swearwords and leaking water suddenly appeared to rescue the princess. The matter was settled. The princess and the prince decided to meet again, yet in another land. They chose a truly magical day and place – the time before Christmas, when magic surrounds everyone and wishes come true. The princess had only one wish…

Magic did the job. The princess and the prince walked around, disturbed only by the illness of the prince. They tried magic hats and talked. At the end of the day, the princess’s wish came true. The prince kissed her. The world stopped for the moment. However, time was ticking, the prince had limited time only. He had to leave. He didn’t lose the shoe though, but they decided to meet again…

The prince was waiting impatiently for the beautiful princess among many people in the foreign land. Once she got of a metal dragon and appeared in the hall, his heart started to beat faster. They travelled on his (or rather in his) black lion to her kingdom. They made a perfect couple. There were still mountains, forests and rivers separating them, but they travelled very often to see each other…

After months of travelling, knowing all the airports it was the time to say stop (to travelling not to being together). The princess arrived at the prince’s kingdom, and settled there. Even though it was a very small kingdom, since alchemy doesn’t really work, and there’s no gold in science. But they all lived happily ever after.
