The Valiant Wyvern and the Benevolent Elven King
Once upon a time, in an enchanted forest that nestled between two snow-capped mountains, there dwelt a community of fascinating creatures. In that forest replete with an abounding diversity of flora and fauna, lived an Elven King named Ethelred.
Ethelred was distinct from the others not only due to the crown he bore but also for his pet Wyvern, Orion. Milwaukee was not like any other king; his benevolent approach, coupled with a keen strategic mind, was the reason for his domain’s prosperity.
Adjacent to the elven kingdom, beyond the shimmering lake, was the Goblin kingdom led by their mighty king Beelzebub. As cruel and cunning as Ethelred was kind, Beelzebub always sought to deflect the balance of peaceful coexistence. He had an insatiable desire for power and wealth that often made him cross the path of righteousness.
One day, Beelzebub, in his persisting greed for control, plotted an invasion on the Elven kingdom. He knew the crown jewel of Ethelred's kingdom, the enchanted amethyst, mutely sleeping in the heart of their castle, was the source of their prosperity and protection.
The Goblins attacked ferociously under the veil of a darkened moon. Armed with crude weapons and under the influence of their king's vein ideologies, the goblins were formidable opponents. Orion, the pet Wyvern, fought gallantly, spewing fire onto the invaders, perceiving the impending peril, his master was in.
Meanwhile, the castle's chambers echoed with the clash of goblin weaponry and elven shields. Ethelred was put under siege, but he, being the powerful warrior he was, countered them, standing resilient against Beelzebub's cohorts.
But Beelzebub knew this wouldn’t be easy, he decided to do something no one expected, something dark. Beelzebub took help from a dark sorcerer who cast a spell that shrouded the enchanted forest with darkness, weakening the elves whose power was bound to the energy of nature and light.
With the elements now against him and his people, the elven kingdom’s defeat seemed imminent. However, the loyalty and faith of Orion were unshakeable. With the spell weakening the Elves' strength, Orion decided to risk his own life to turn the tide of the battle. Using his fire, he blazed up the skies. His flames danced towards the heavens, burning off the dark spell that enveloped the forest.
Seeing the sky ablaze and the spell disappearing, the elven army was reinvigorated. They fought back with a newly-stoked fervor, driving back the invaders. Cornered, Beelzebub had to make a hasty retreat, vowing revenge on Ethelred and his kingdom. Orion's valor had saved the day, and the Elven kingdom celebrated his deed.
Despite his victory, Ethelred couldn't shake off the peace-threatening reality that as long as Beelzebub was free, his fond kingdom will always be in peril. So he made a resolve. He decided to unite all the other benevolent creature kingdoms around to form an alliance against the power-hungry Beelzebub, ensuring a peaceful coexistence for all.
From then on, with the united force of the good, Beelzebub and his likes dared not raise their heads to disturb the peace. And so, the enchanted forest, the abode of the elven king Ethelred, thrived in tranquility and prosperity.
Through this, they taught the world how unity is strength, peace is wealth, and greed only leads to a self-made end.
