BIRTH OF A KINGDOM

Once upon a time in a land far away a desperate cry for help echoed through the universe. It belonged to a princess who was from a place where beauty was unmatched throughout the heavens and where peace had thrived for millennia, until now…

The grace in her kingdom was a result of a very special energy gem that was placed within her heart by her ancestors when she was just a baby. The power of the energy within the gem gave her the power to harness perfect discernment for when she would become queen and have to rule over her Kingdom one day. Her cries were the result of her kidnapping by a foreign ruler who coveted her power and wanted to use the power of discernment to overtake all the ruling kings and queens that existed. He desired to rule all the kingdoms in the universe. All he had to do was rip out the princess’s heart during the three full moons of her planet and the gem’s powers would be in his control.

He bonded his body with the terribly powerful dragon serpent and captured the princess and the maidens of Paradise while they were on a walk seeking truth from the Fields of Wisdom. The maidens of Paradise came from a place in the kingdom what was the perfect place to live. Their beauty was a wonder to behold and they had the power create what they desired in the world when they interlocked their hands and focused in unison. The foreign ruler knew of their power so he bonded their hands and kept them separate under the dark skies of his barren kingdom.

The other kingdoms heard the powerful cries of the princess as they echoed through the lands, but only one person was able to decipher where they came from. It was the young farmer who worked in a vineyard that supplied grapes to his family’s winery. He had the gift to hear that which is unspoken. While he was attending to the wine barrels in the winery he heard the faint echoes of the desperate cries in his spirit. Through his natural gift he also heard the thoughts of the princess and the Paradisian captives as they echoed through the universe.

He went to the princess’ kingdom and explained in detail all that he heard. The king, distraught and full of sadness from the loss of his daughter, would not listen to the young farmer. He told the young man to leave.

The young man went to the other kingdoms and explained his story in detail. They all loved the princess and decided that he may be telling the truth. The young man convinced all the royal leadership in the neighboring kingdoms to join him as he lead them to her rescue.

The first group that he assembled was the army from the Kingdom of Diamonds. The warriors of this kingdom adorned gems and diamonds that glistened in the armor they wore to deflect and redirect any opposing energy that attacked.

The second group he assembled were the notorious female warriors from the Kingdom of Blossoms, known for its wide variety of blooming flowers in its lands. The female warriors, each known as a Flower Child, mixed the chemicals within the pollen of their exotic flowers to make their enemies hallucinate. Their allegiance with the princesses’ kingdom obligated them to go to battle for her, so they set out with the army from the Kingdom of Diamonds to defeat the foreign ruler.

That night the foreign ruler planned to rip the princess’s heart out during the 3 full moons to harness the power of her gem. While he waited he heard that the young man and the large army was on their way so he sent out creatures of darkness, called Dreggs, to kill them all.

As the army struggled to pass through the rough star storms of the planet called Twinzelite, they were intercepted and attacked by the creatures of darkness. The warriors in the army started losing the battle because they were weak and tired from navigating through the torrential star storms. Many lives were lost as the creatures of darkness seemed to prevail and overtake the army from the Kingdom of Diamonds, the Flower Child warriors and the young man from the winery, who led them to the location of the captives. Just as all hope seemed lost, in between the stars and comets surrounding the planet of Twinzelite, appeared the Twinzies. They came by the dozens in groups of two. You see, Twinzies never left each other’s side; whether in battle, in a challenging situation or in any other circumstance in life, they stood together. As the Twinzies fought, one would watch the front and one would watch the back, and they succeeded in defeating the creatures of darkness. Their gift was the power of comradery, unity and an undying loyalty to each other. They came in pairs and never separated from each other. With this unbroken bond they built a kingdom that is the perfect example of true loyalty and friendship.

The Twinzies had heard about the efforts of the young boy to guide the armies to the princess and told him that if they were to defeat the foreign ruler, he would have to harness a force just as powerful as the dragon serpent that the foreign ruler had bonded with. The Twinzies decided to introduce him to a people who only appear Once in a Lifetime to others. When you meet them, they give you something that you need in life and then they disappear forever. They only appear when they all agree that the gift they are offering you is necessary.  The Twinzies traveled with the armies and the young man to meet the Once in a Lifetime people. When they met the young man and heard his story the decided to give him 2 powerful gifts instead of one. The first gift was special Armor that contained a mirrored mask. When the reflective mask is looked upon by your enemies they immediately see all the good in you automatically persuading them fight for you instead of against you. The young man and all the unarmed warriors from his village received this special armor. The second gift they gave him was a powerful multi-winged beast with which he would have to bond himself to in the same way the foreign ruler bonded himself to the dragon serpent. This beast, guided by the young man, was equipped to battle the dragon serpent led by the foreign ruler. The young man, with his new armor and the multi winged beast now became the strongest weapon amongst the army. His gift to hear the thoughts and cries led them onward to save the princess.

 

When they arrived to the Kingdom of Darkness they were immediately attacked by the legions of Dreggs deployed by the foreign ruler. The princess was tied up on a high pillar overlooking the battlefield. The maidens of Paradise were chained together on the ground below her at the bottom of the pillar. The battle was intense as the soldiers from the Kingdom of Diamonds sliced the heads of the creatures one by one with their diamond cut swords. The Flower Children launched arrows which poisoned creatures when they were shot. Some of the creatures hallucinated and ran in circles when they were hit with the arrows. Some of the Flower Child warriors snuck around the battle and from behind the battlefield they were able to release the maidens of Paradise. They could not get to the princess because she was too high up on the pillar and was surrounded by 4 terrible large white creatures. As they were freed, the Maidens of Paradise came together to use their gifts to stop the battle.

As they were assembling in unison, the Twinzies fought side by side using slingshots to pelt stars at the Dreggs. The balls of fire that deployed from the slingshots instantly killed each creature that was hit. The young man, who was harnessed to the beast saw the foreign ruler with the dragon serpent in the distance, across the battlefield. He Immediately rushed toward the foreign ruler and attempted to attack, but the ruler had a secret weapon. He had stolen a special green gem, called a Panna gem, from an old queen that he killed from another universe. The Panna Gem allowed him to stun and paralyze every living thing around him. All he had to do was break the gem and its powers would work. Seeing the approaching multi-winged beast coming straight towards him through the chaos of the battle, the ruler smashed the green gem into the rocks below him. A vicious wave of energy flowed from the gem and every living thing in the battle, except for the foreign ruler, immediately paused in a paralytic state. The princess and the captives, who were placed behind the foreign ruler, were immediately affected. Every soldier from the kingdom of Diamonds could not move. Every Flower Child warrior stood in place, frozen in her battle position. Every Twinzie, whether side by side or back to back, were each frozen. Every creature of darkness halted, as its snarls went silent. And the young man, with his beast ready for battle, stood still with the look of fury as he was helpless to move within a body that would not respond. Each living being could still see, hear and breath, but could not move an inch from the place it stood.

The foreign ruler, harnessed within the dragon serpents chest, slowly lurked toward the young man. He pulled out a sword twice the length of the young man and raised it to slice his head off.

Frozen in place and tied up in chains, the princess overlooked the battle from high atop the pillar and recognized the young man. She had seen him as a boy with his family when they delivered wine to her palace years ago when she was also a child. She recalled the moment when his young eyes caught eyes with hers and accidentally dropped a wine barrel from a cart, spilling it everywhere. That mistake infuriated the king and the boy’s family were never permitted to bring wine to the palace again. As she recalled the days of her childhood and the harsh temper of her father a tear dropped from her eye. She longed for days that weren’t as dark as these.

As the ruler’s sword began on its descending path to the young man’s neck, a series of bright multicolored lights and harmonic sounds came from the heavens. The gravel on the ground began to shake and slowly lift in to the air, while the wind on the battlefield picked up. The foreign ruler and dragon serpent both looked up and saw hundreds of winged silhouettes between the bright blinding lights. They grabbed the young man and beast and used their gifts to reverse the power of the paralytic green gem so that he could fight. These white winged beings that were heaven sent restored the strength in the young man and his beast. Some of the heaven sent beings attacked the dragon serpent and the foreign ruler but the serpent was too strong and killed each of those that attacked.

Equipped with strength given from the heaven sent beings, the young man and the beast attacked the foreign ruler and the dragon serpent. They fought amongst the paralyzed warriors as the white winged heaven sent beings reversed the gems powers in each of the warriors that could not move.

After a vicious battle, the young man succeeded in defeating the foreign ruler by beheading him with his own sword. The beast defeated the dragon serpent by biting its neck and puncturing its heart.

By the end of the battle between the young man, the ruler, the dragon serpent and the beast, all those who were under the paralytic spell of the green gem were released and could move, thanks to the white winged heaven sent beings. The princess and the royal maidens of Paradise were also freed. The princess came to the young man and thanked him. She told him that she remembered who he was and that she would make her father, the king, hold a great feast in his honor for saving her life.

When the armies, the royal maidens, the princess and the young man got back to the kingdom, the king was relieved at their success. The king called the young man to stand in front of everyone and said that he would give him more than a feast. He said that with the capabilities and character that the young man possessed he deserved his own kingdom. In honor of saving the life of his daughter, the king divided up a portion of his land and gave it to the young man to rule over.

The young man was given his own army and because he had the beast, a creature that no other kingdom possessed, his army was one of the most powerful armies in the universe. The land given to him was full of vineyards and beauty. The young man was given all that he needed for his kingdom, which was known for its fine wine. The young man called his kingdom Winery.

Over time, the young man and the princess fell deeply in love with each other. They spent their days in the kingdom exercising their gifts of discernment and hearing the needs of their people, making Winery one of the greatest kingdoms that ever existed.
