|
|
|
A long, long time ago, when creatures of myth and magic walked
|
|
the earth openly with lesser mortals, there dwelt in the kingdom
|
|
of Daventry a King name Graham. He had one the crown by his wit
|
|
and courage, when he went forth to uncover and reclaim the three
|
|
lost treasures of Daventry. Now Graham ruled over the land, with
|
|
the aid of the mirror that foretold the future, the bottomless
|
|
treasure chest, and the invincible shield. The people of Daventry
|
|
prospered under the reign of the kindly monarch.
|
|
|
|
Just one year after returning from his first victorious quest,
|
|
King Graham arose and looked into the mirror as he was wont to do
|
|
daily. Much to his astonishment, he beheld the face of Edward,
|
|
the King who came before him in the succession.
|
|
|
|
King Edward spoke, "Graham, your kingdom is strong now, thanks
|
|
to the recovery of the three treasures and your wise leadership.
|
|
But it will soon grow weak again, if you do not provide and heir
|
|
to the throne. Marry, my son, and give your people a prince that
|
|
make their future secure."
|
|
|
|
The vision faded. King Graham pondered how he might find a
|
|
bride fit to reign over Daventry. He consulted with Gerwain, his
|
|
wise prime minister.
|
|
|
|
"She must be good, and kind, so that she will love my people
|
|
and they will love here," said Graham. "She must have the wisdom
|
|
to counsel me in my daily problems, and a loving heart to bring
|
|
me comfort. I wish my Queen to glow with an inner beauty of
|
|
spirit as well as beauty of face and formt."
|
|
|
|
Gerwain suggested that Graham host a celebration, and invite
|
|
all the maidens of marriageable age from his whole kingdom. He
|
|
could then observe and conserve with the likely candidates, and
|
|
see if any one of them fit his idea of a queen.
|
|
|
|
The invitations were sent out, and the whole kingdom turned
|
|
out for the celebration. From every corner of Daventry the
|
|
maidens came. Short and tall, slender and plump, fair and dark,
|
|
pretty and plain. There were maidens from all stations of life,
|
|
from Dukes' and earls' daughters to the village goose girl and
|
|
the scullery maid from the castle kitchens. They all had but one
|
|
thing in common: They greatly admired the handsome King, and were
|
|
eager to catch his eye. Word had spread that the King was looking
|
|
for a bride, and they were all thrilled at the prospect of
|
|
marrying the charming Graham.
|
|
|
|
For two days the celebration wore on, and though he tried to
|
|
be cheerful, Graham gradually became somber. None of the maidens
|
|
he had met quickened his pulse. One maid squinted, another triped
|
|
over everything in sight. Another was too coy, and the one after
|
|
her giggled constantly. They all had some fault, however small.
|
|
It was with great relief that Graham saw his guests ride away at
|
|
then end of the celebration. He retired to his room to reflect
|
|
gloomily.
|
|
|
|
"My kingdom is home to hundreds of lovely maidens," he
|
|
mourned. "Why is there not one among them who touches my heart
|
|
and my dreams."
|
|
|
|
As he asked the question, King Graham was standing near the
|
|
magic mirror. He glanced toward it, and noticed that the glass
|
|
had grown inexplicably cloudy.
|
|
|
|
The mist cleared, All at once, King Graham beheld the most
|
|
beautiful maiden he had ever seen. She had hair of glowing
|
|
auburn, and eyes of midnight blue. Her skin was the color of rich
|
|
cream, but alas, no roses bloomed in her cheeks, and the corners
|
|
of her pretty mout drooped in sorrow.
|
|
|
|
She was standing at a window, motionless except for the stray
|
|
breeze that stirred her hair. A tear fill from one eye, and
|
|
sparkled on her cheek like a diomand on velvet. She put up one
|
|
hand to brush it away, and Graham was struck by the grace of her
|
|
movement.
|
|
|
|
The kings heart was suddenly enveloped in a strange fever. He
|
|
knew that this was the maiden for whom he longed - this was the
|
|
woman who must be his queen. He wanted to find her and bring a
|
|
smile to her lovely face. He wanted to take her in his arms, and
|
|
protect her from trouble forevermore. Eagerly he consulted the
|
|
magic mirror.
|
|
|
|
"Oh mirror wis," said Graham, "I have vowed to make this
|
|
maiden my bride. Where may I find her?"
|
|
|
|
The mirror clouded again, and a voice was heard. "This is the
|
|
maiden Valanice. She is from the kingdom of Kolyma, and is known
|
|
for her goodness no less than her beauty. The jealous crone
|
|
Hagatha whisked Valanice away to an enchanged land, and
|
|
imprisoned her in a quartz tower guarded by a ferocious wild
|
|
beast."
|
|
|
|
"I must rescue her or die in the attempt," declared King
|
|
Graham. "How may I find this enchanted land?"
|
|
|
|
"You must travel to the kingdom of Kolyma," said the mirror.
|
|
"There you may search for the keys which unlock the three doors
|
|
to the enchanted land..."
|
|
|
|
The voice faded and the mirror cleared. Graham stared at his
|
|
own reflection. Vainly did he call for its return, to give him
|
|
more clues to the whereabouts of the magic keys. Finally, he
|
|
shouldered his provisions, and set out on his quest of love.
|
|
|
|
Only you, my bold adventurer have the power to finish this
|
|
tale. Accompany King Graham on his quest to find the magic keys.
|
|
Encounter characters of legend, folklore and fantasy. Explore
|
|
underground caverns, eerie towers, and ocean wonderlands. Help
|
|
him rescue the enchanted maiden, so he can lay his kingdom and
|
|
his heart at her feet.
|
|
|
|
You will be faced with challenges that would intimidate those
|
|
of lesser timbre. Summon all your strength and courage. Leave no
|
|
stone unturned, no avenue unexplored, and your perseverance will
|
|
be richly rewarded.
|
|
|
|
It may be possible to find each key through more than one
|
|
avenue. The more imaginative your solutions, the greater you
|
|
reward.
|
|
|
|
Study all the ancient lores for clues. Along the way collect
|
|
as many treasures as you can - treasures fit for a queen.
