Story of 2 MaidensChapter 5 (Concluding Chapter)As the Test continues and the 3 rulers are being summoned time and again by the Evil Queen, the goings are getting tougher. For 2 weeks now, the Chief Examiner, the nobles, the maidens, the remaining Chosen One and the peasants had been working hard and laughter seem like a luxury in the land of sadness where its population is rapidly declining and people seem to forget what it is like to have fun and laughter.
Rumour has it going that when one is being noticed by the Evil Queen, you either make it or break it, and even if you do make it, chances are you will break it in no time at all. Everyone in her land is at her mercy.
And that being so, no one hardly has the time to care about rivalry anymore cuz it now seems like everyone is suffering the same fate
As the Chosen One was thinking of how to finish an assignment given to him and the nobles, The Holy One approached him and suggested the possibility of reconciling the maidens with the rest of the peasants, particulary those under his rule. The Holy One pointed out the fact that even though the general mass has their pre-conceptions about the maidens or even had conflicts, the maidens should be given a chance to voice their views.
The Chosen One agreed and decided to sound out the peasants while The Holy One would go and sound out the maidens. Although they have doubts that things will go back to the old days, they decided that this is for the benefit of everyone. At the very least, they have taken the first step into making things right, and hopefully some laughter can be heard and smiles can be seen once again admist the dark times that everyone is going through.
Will the maidens and peasants choose to reconcile and let there be laughter and smiles again or will the cold war continues? Only time will tell... ... ...
As the story teller puts down his pen, and lays back in his chair, looking into the ceiling of his small cottage, he wonders if his story will ever be told
A mere 7 people living or who had onced lived in the land of the Evil Queen knows how to read his magical scroll but he knows that sooner or later, more will come to know of the scroll and as of late, he sensed that that day may come sooner than he expected.
He hopes that one day, the people he intended to chance upon the scroll pick it up and read about the story and reflect on what was being written.
Although being a story teller, he knows that inevitably, his command of the written language may have amplified some details and he maybe deemed as The Evil One as had many story tellers before his time, he is contented that he has at least captured the essence.
The story teller sips his tea, closes his eyes and as he wonders how the mechanics of Fate will work in his little story, he realises that the time has come to move on, as there are greater stories to be told... ...
