Title: The Magical Land of Siquir
Description: Fairy Tale

Once upon a time there lived a handsome young prince who is bestowed with the gift of knowledge and the abundance of physical prowess. Because the goddess healed him, his parents named the child-prince Raphael. As the only child of King Gabriel and Queen Lindsay, Prince Raphael grew up to be a charm to everyone’s heart. He is a master sword guy and a brave warrior able to withstand any tough competitors. His name echoed all over the Kingdom and extolled with-in the four corners of the globe.

Although he has many admirers in and outside the Kingdom, he could not choose one because what in his mind is that a girl should love him for what he is and not for what he has. Because of this, he never tasted the power of love coming from his heart towards a girl someday he would marry. Disappointment, hopelessness, and despair come in to Prince Raphael. Because of this, he locked himself up in his room inside the castle and bowed only to get out when he finds someone who could love him for what he is even if he has no richness of his Kingdom.

The Princes’ parents, King Gabriel and Queen Lindsay, got worried on their child’s condition because it would make him incapable as the only heir to the throne. And without the rightful successor, the Kingdom would fall into pieces. Without further ado, the King ordered all his skillful explorers to search for a girl who could make the prince in-love for the first time. The trusted explorers accompanied by the Kingdom’s loyal soldiers searched far beyond the seven seas and climbed the top-most of the Himalayas, but to no avail, they all failed. But one day, an old fairy-like woman suddenly appeared in the presence of the King and Queen and told them that the solution they are looking for could be found on the magical book of Nemesa, a wicked witch who could draw a curse to anyone. But the King and Queen did not believe the old fairy-like woman at first because no one has actually seen Nemesa, who tale tells that she lived in a secluded mountain full of wary beasts and human-eating monsters. The King laughingly told the old fairy-like woman that Nemesa is just a myth that no one should ever believed. But the Queen, hopeless for solutions, sided with the old fairy-like woman and convinces the King that the “Book of Nemesa” is their only chance.

The King, doubtful at first, ordered his dependable and faithful soldiers to mobilize with one very important mission on hand, that is, to get the “Book of Nemesa” and bring it at once to the Kingdom. The old fairy-like woman give the exact location of Nemesa to the soldiers and told them that they have only 13 days to reach Siquir, the place of Nemesa, before the full moon starts to bloom and Nemesa’s power to regenerate. Little did they know that Prince Raphael is observing the King and Queen’s every move through his magical singing bird. As the Kingdom’s brave soldiers lined-up for inspection, Prince Raphael snicks in and disguised himself as a soldier. No one even notice that he is the Prince because he has changed much since he imprisoned himself inside his room in the castle for many years. Together with his magical singing bird, which he kept inside his bag, they sailed away as one with the Kingdom’s soldier on the road to the mystifying place of Siquir.

They dared to travel the deep ocean, crossed the gigantic waves of the sea, and surpassed the great storms of the Pacific just to reach Siquir. When they docked, they are all terrified to see that the place is full of skulls hanged around the trees with pools of fresh blood leaking through the eyes of the skulls. This is a sign to them that they must leave Siquir at once, but the brave Prince Raphael encouraged the confused soldiers to march on in the name of their beloved Kingdom. The soldiers, highly moraled by the words and wisdom of Prince Raphael, who they taught is a tribal warrior, conquered their fears and continued their mission.

When they reached the vast forest, they are attacked by Abidjan, the evasive and giant pet monster of Nemesa, who have claws that can pin down tall trees and fangs that tatters the flesh of his enemies. Together with the soldiers, Prince Raphael fought the wary beast with their swords and fired their canons from their ships. They fought furiously for an hour until Prince Raphael killed Abidjan by stabbing his sword right through the monster’s heart. Angered by the death of Abidjan, Nemesa cast a spell to the Icel, a group of mummified tribesmen that hypnotizes someone through their enchanted flute. With a swift attack, the Icels played their flute and triggered the soldiers and Prince Raphael to retaliate, but to no avail they became weaker and weaker as the flute’s song is getting louder and louder. One by one the soldiers fall to sleep until all of them, except to Prince Raphael are hypnotized by the Icels’ enchanted flute. Suddenly, Prince Raphael’s magical singing bird appeared and uttered a song that irritates the Icels. The supernatural bird drove away the Icels and save the Prince’s life.

Prince Raphael thanked his magical singing bird for saving his life but still mourned for the life of his soldiers who are hypnotized. All of a sudden the old fairy-like woman, which has appeared at the King and Queen’s castle, emerge and told Prince Raphael that the full moon is almost rising and Nemesa’s power is regenerating. She guided the Prince towards the main entrance of Nemesa’s wicked and lifeless fortress and advised him that to defeat Nemesa he must stab the “Statue of the Curse” right through the center.

As he stepped through the fortress’ stairs, he felt that his heart is beating faster and faster. Unexpectedly, Nemesa assaults Prince Raphael through his back and almost pointed the sharp dagger to the Prince’s throat. With all his strength and power, Prince Raphael contested the dagger and was able to get it from Nemesa. Nemesa turned herself invisible so that Prince Raphael could not see her. She told Prince Raphael that no one ever won against her so he should better surrender or taste the power of her wickedness. But the prince, eager to find the true answer to his problem, spoke the encouraging words of true love. As he tried to stab the “Statue of the Curse”, Nemesa quickly pierced him in his arm and cruelly wounding him. The Prince was now grueling in pain and Nemesa’s power is in the process of regeneration. This would make Nemesa powerful enough to take the seven seas all through her hands and control all the Kingdoms of the four corners of the globe. As Nemesa is celebrating her almost success, Prince Raphael, never-minding his wounded arm, swiftly stab the “Statue of the Curse” right through the center. Suddenly, a bright light flashed right through the stabbed portion of the “Statue of the Curse” and directly hitting Nemesa turning her into powder of dusts. Because of the bright light, the old fairy-like woman who once advised the King and the Queen about the “Book of Nemesa”, transformed herself into a beautiful princess.

At once, Prince Raphael fall in-love to the beautiful princess and made his heart felt the exact meaning and essence of true love. As the beautiful princess awakes, she thanked the Prince for breaking the spell of an evil wizard who has insecurity against her. The bright lights scattered and turned the once lifeless fortress, which is full of wickedness, to a majestic, lively, and animated castle full of green plants and blue skies. The bright lights also healed the Prince’s wound and reverse the spell of hypnotism to the soldiers.

As the Prince opened the “Book of Nemesa”, he learned the prophecy of the one who will save the Kingdom of Siquer and Princess Gloria from the spell of Soma, an evil wizard who unjustly transformed the Princess into an old fairy-like woman. This savoir will also marry the Princess and together they will rule the seven seas harmoniously.

Prince Raphael, together with his magical singing bird, his soldiers, and Princess Gloria proudly returned to his beloved Kingdom and celebrated their victory.
Prince Raphael and Princess Gloria married each other with a grandiose celebration and they lived happily ever after………………
