Once upon a time, there was a king; who used to wear a single horned crown. He had a lavish palace, three beautiful wives, and seven children; all well qualified in their respective fields. The king was reaching the retirement age, so he asked his elder son to lead his empire so that he could undergo seclusion. Now, his Elder Son, Jonathan had set other plans for himself. So he turned down his father’s offer. Jonathan was a nature lover; and he wished to live in a thatched house within the deepest parts of the jungle. The king was disheartened; but he accepted Jonathan’s plea. He asked Jonathan’s immediate junior brother Sharlie to handle the loads of the throne. Sharlie accepted; but on a clause – whenever Jonathan would change his mind, Sharlie would return his throne to him. He took oath by scratching his hand. The blood that dropped at the ground transformed into a marble structure of an immensely beautiful fairy. Both Jonathan & Sharlie were so mesmerized with this incident that they called the head priest to decipher the incident.
The Head Priest was an old learned man. He observed the fairy structure. She was carrying an innocent smile in her lips; but a tear drop was falling from one of her eyes. After seven days of extensive prayers and research, the priest concluded; “This kingdom was once the land of these fairies. Then Our Beloved Single Horned King took over this part. The fairies went underground and lived their peacefully. Our bona fide King had never any intension to harm them. The fairies brought so much good luck to our Kingdom. Peace prevailed in every corner. But now, with the single drop of blood that hit the ground, the world of Fairies had an abrupt end. They all turned into marble structures; and the Fairest of all Fairies emerged into the palace with her frozen drop of tear. Their curse now will fall upon us. And the whole kingdom will vanquish within the next Full moon!”
