Let's write a story II

[willemvanoranje]

Because the other is just all messed up, this is he new 'story' thread. The other shall be used for discussion, this one only for making the story continue. For rules, check the other thread.


In a country not far away from Turkmenistan, a couple of centuries ago, there was a scientist. His name was Bassie. He served under the king, and he loved him with all his heart. The king had this problem, he was getting old, and was still unmarried and had no children. He ordered Bassie, to search the world for good wedding candidates.....

Bassie thought long and hard on what he should do, and then he realised his distant cousin Babbidge, had invented a machine that might make the job easier. He went and studied the machine, and then sent men to all corners of the earth with instructions to ask questions of all the unmarried women they met, and to write them down, along with each woman's name and where she lived.

But in time, there were no men left. All of them met a beautiful woman and married her. Only one, loyal servant kept helping Bassie. His name was Adriaan, and in the many travels he already made, he became an excellent acrobat.

A visiting acrobatic troupe heard of Adriaan's fame as an acrobat and suggested that he perform with them in front of the King.

Prior to the royal performance Adriaan trained with travelling acrobatics and this was how he first met the beautiful Karina and learned about the plot to assasinate the King...

Karina was a beautiful acrobat, slim and athletic, who was famous for her triple somersault in pike position.

The king once made a red-hot pass at her, cornering her one day under the big top. (It is actually very hard to corner someone in a round tent.) He tried to rip off her acrobat costume and have his evil way with her. (Is this forum G-rated or R-rated?)

Anyway she swore to have her revenge, and told Adriaan her scheme....

...not that I'm interesting in THAT sort of thing...

After she told Adriaan, he immediately informed Bassie.

Bassie told Adriaan not to let her know that he had told him. Bassie then told the King that Karina was going to try to get revenge against him.

Bassie then went back to Babbidge's machine to try to develop a love potion so that when they found the right women she would be sure to love the King. He spent many hours perfecting the potion. Meanwhile...

...Karina was preparing her revenge. She took her brother's 'Katana' (a Japanese sword) and started to walk towards the King's tent, but the king already knew what would happen, so he...

.....so he had already called the royal guard.

The soldiers were hidden and the King had ordered them to intervene only if the situation was crucial.

When Karina entered, one of the guards made a signal with his hand. Of course Karina couldn't see it. So she wlked on thinking that the

knew nothing

She was now about five metters away from the King. One more step and the guards would stop her-and maybe kill her....

She started lifting the sword....

....but suddenly she realized that she couldn't kill a man like that

As Karina lowered her sword the Royal Guard pounced and wrestled her to the ground. Karina looked up to see the King and Bassie standing over her and said "I couldn't go through with it - I don't hate you!"

The King was in no mood for leniency and ordered the guards to take her to the dungeon and to organise a public execution for the next day. In all the excitement Bassie forgot to tell the King he had perfected the love potion. Strangely, that night the King dreamt of a beautiful, slim and athletic woman who did triple somersaults.....

 

[BorderPatrol]

That evening the King went down to the dungeon to visit Karina because he was having turmoil with the fact he had ordered this beautiful girl to die and would not be able to see her performances anymore.

But when he got down to the level where Kirina's cell was he heard a scream! No! No! It was Karina! In the distance he could see Kirina's cell and the door was open. She was half naked with her torn shirt hanging around her waist with a large figure hovering over her...

...a man was trying to rape her! The king fellt he had to do something! He hit the man on the back of his head, he fell down. 'Are you alright?' the king asked. 'Yes, thank you' said Karina passioned. The king looked at the unconssious man: it was Adriaan! Karina slowly walked to the king, she opened her mouth and said.....

The King was a kind hearted man and he was in a lenient mood so he said to Adriaan (who had now regained conciousness),"the crime of rape is a serious offence and cannot go unpunished, however I am mindful of your long and loyal service." After pausing to think the King continued, "Adriaan your penalty for this crime is to leave my realm at once and to seek out the legendary and fabulous 'Pearl of Poseidon', which is said to be the largest and most beautiful in the world. This Pearl is said to be located in an island far to the east, that some, call the 'land of the rising sun' and is heavily guarded. Go now and if you return with the Pearl I will grant you a pardon for your crime."

The King looked at the half naked Karina and thought, what am I to do with you?

 

[willemvanoranje]

'My king' she said 'I know I have been unloyal, but you know what I feel for you and I know what you feel for me.' little romance coming up here 'Yes, that's true' he answered 'But what will my advisors say when they see I marry the woman who tryed to kill me?' 'Let's just do it!' said Karina. 'No, it's too soon. But I will give you freedom, you can stay in the palace, if you want to.'

The king then swept Karina into his arms and kissed her passionately. A few breathless moments later she pushed him away.

"You dirty old man," she said.

No, hold on, what she actually said was, "My Liege, I know that the court will never accept me, a humble acrobat with her tits hanging out, a woman who tried to kill you. No amount of triple somersaults and torn costumes is going to change that. Let me go after the Pearl of Poseidon, to prove to the realm that I am worthy of you."

...not that I'm interesting in THAT sort of thing...

 

[Kira]

The king said: 'No, I won't let you go, it's too dangerous. But if you really want to prove to the realm that you are worthy of me, go and seek for the Flying Dutchman and his Magical Ship.'
'So shall it be written, so shall it be done!' she answered.

 

[FearlessLeader2]

The King patted down his pockets furiously. Stopping, he looked at Karina and asked, "Do you have a pen?" Shaking her head sadly, she said "No."
"Drat and blast!" the king swore. "If I can't write it, you can't do it. Let's just do the nasty here in the dungeon...we've got some really nice chains over on the wall..."

 

[BorderPatrol]

They laughed together. She said, "That's what I love about you is your sense of humor" Let's go up to my bedroom, I believe I have a pen there. And so they went upstairs.

On the way to her bedroom they saw Bassie come running to them. He looked absolutely frantic. "My Lord ! My Lord !" He screamed. "Someone took my love potion and poured it into the public well that we get all of our water from! I had made that potion so that anyone who drank it would fall madly in love with you, my Lord."

[willemvanoranje]

Wow! This place is turning in to paradise! Said the king

. Wow! All the women adoring me. Life is great! Karina didn't hear the king saying this (you know what would happen otherwise). But sire, think, men will also drink from the well! said Bassie. 'What? Oh....What do I do? What do I do?' said the king 'I know! Make a law that forbids men to drink water from the well!'
'That's impossible! they will revolt!' ' Oh jeez. OK! Dig a new well and close this one.

[TrailblazingScot]

Then disaster...the new well was infected with cholera and an out-break ravaged the city.

And his poor little acrobat died in his arms from dehydration due to the excessive rice waters she suffered.

Once again the old well was re-opened and the people loved the king until...
