The Tale of Karina
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 realized 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 traveling acrobatics and this was how he first met the beautiful Karina and learned about the plot to assassinate 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....
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 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 walked on thinking that the knew nothing
She was now about five meters 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 organize 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.
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 Karina's cell was he heard a scream! No! No! It was Karina! In the distance he could see Karina'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 felt he had to do something! He hit the man on the back of his head and he fell down. 'Are you alright?' the king asked. 'Yes, thank you' said Karina. The king looked at the unconscious man: it was Adriaan! Karina slowly walked to the king, she opened her mouth and said. Your Majesty saved me!
I'll be grateful forever! (This can come up again later in the story)
In the meanwhile the was thinking of what he could do with Adriaan....
The King was a kind-hearted man and he was in a lenient mood so he said to Adriaan (who had now regained consciousness),"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?
'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 tried 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."
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.
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..."
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."
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. But Bassie stopped and thought for a second and said "No! What was I thinking? The potion won't change anyones sexual orientation, so the men will just think more highly of you, sire. You don't have to worry about that."
The King said, "Whew. You had me worried there!" and he asked Bassie "Do you have an anecdote for your potion in case this gets out of hand?"
Bassie thought for a moment. "Well, there was this potion once, that I had been planning to sell at market, that would cause anything you put a drop of it on to repel dirt and liquids for a year. I was robbed by some bandits, and the bottle broke, spilling a gallon of it all over the Sahara Forest."
The king tilted his head sideways. "Don't you mean the Sahara Desert?"
"Well, it is now." Stunned, the slow-witted king thought furiously, "What in the royal blazes is this blasted scientist going on about?"
"What in the broiled glazes are you going on about, Lassie? This is a spurious clatter!"
Bassie, realizing his foolhardiness in making light of King Malaprop's unfortunate (and diplomatically dangerous) stress-related shortcoming, quickly changed his tactic: "Um, sire, may I point out that this is actually a good thing for your majesty? After all, now all your people will love you as the great leader you truly are."
"Hmm, I hadn't thought of it that way..."
"In fact, your flyness," Bassie barely contained a chuckle as he continued, "I can just as easily 'drop' this potion into the drinking water of your enemies, thereby bringing the entire world under your enlightened rule."
"I like the way you fink, Sassie. Make it so! Meanwhile, I'll be in my royal chambers ensuring the succession."
"Yes, of course your travesty. But remember, as a wise man once said, "Oh what a tangled web we weave, when we practice to conceive."
"Yes, yes," said the king waving his hand. "Now, my charming Karina, where were we...?"
"OHMIGOD!" cried Karina, her orgasm shuddering through her athletic body.
There she was, in the bed, thinking of what the hell just happened. She started talking: 'Wow!' 'That was like.... I don't know. The sensation...like eating a magnum (life is all about priorities)'. That's right my dear! Said the king 'I might be slow-thinking, but at least I'm good at this stuff.' Karina felt great. She started talking, and after an hour, she finally asked the king: What did you think of me? But she noticed that the king was sleeping, like a real man, but she didn't care, 'cause what he had given her, was the greatest gift she could think of at the moment. She decided to go to sleep as well, nothing is more beautiful than waking up in the strong arms of this king, she thought. Next morning, or actually afternoon, they woke up in the room. They got dressed and decided to walk down the palace gardens...
...For 6 minutes before heading out into the countryside for the day in the king's 'Royal Carriage'.
The carriage went far into the countryside until the King commanded the Carriage Attendant to stop by the side of the road. The King turned to Karina with a big smile on his face and said, "I have a gift for you my dear." Where upon he handed Karina a book titled 'Karma Sutra'. "I got it on mail order from India and I suggest we start at page 69, but first", the King commanded the Attendant to leave and return to the carriage at sunset but to post a notice on the carriage door before leaving. The notice read, "If the carriage is rockin' don't bother knockin'!"
"Now my little cherub page 69", said the King. The carriage was rockin' all day and well into the evening before the King and Karina noticed anything wrong.
Karina Shoved the king off of her and let out a menacing cry of horror "WHAT THE F***" she yelled as she leaped out of the carriage naked and ran off!
The King was stunned and amazed as he sat there for two or three minutes and came to the realization that the potion had worn off.
He knew he had to get her back but how? The king thought it out perfectly...'GUARDS!' he called out manfully...
'Grab me that young nymph. But be careful, she is frisky!' Unfortunatelty the potion had worn off for them too, and they also suddenly realized that, not only do they not love and respect the king anymore, but they actually kind of dislike his bossy ways. And besides, he smells pretty funky after two days with Karina.
They decided to lock the King inside the carriage and go ask the Captain of the Guard what should be done.
The captain of the guard is horrified to hear of this mutiny against the old king...in a fit of rage he slays the carriage guards and sends men to find the naked girl and to release the king...who takes a bath.
The poor acrobat, alone in a hostile land is naked, hungry and wondering how she got into this mess...
the first thing Karina did was kill a wild boar, she then preceded to eat and skin it soon she was no longer hungry and no longer naked (sorry guys) she began contemplating what to do then she remembered Adriaan who was earlier sent east to find the Pearl of Poseidon she knew that he was the only one who would help her get her revenge on that king who had just tried to rape her.
But she must hurry for the kings men were hot on her trail....
Karina ran and she ran some more. For speeds sake, she threw off the boars coat because it was slowing her down. Yes friends, she was once again in her birthday suit.
As she ran, the sky began to rumble and the clouds opened up and began raining. In a few short minutes, Karina was soaked, I mean, damn, the girl was sopping wet! She began to frantically look for shelter. The first thing to come into view was the entrance to a cave. She thought, "Hmm, that looks like a good place to warm up." She entered the cave............ As soon as she (Still naked ) entered the cave, she noticed something special about it. For one, it wasn't dark; in fact it was brighter than it was on the outside. It also went on for as far as the eye could see with out a single fork or bend. The walls, oh god the walls, they were as smooth as the marble floors in the king's palace. Karina decided she must investigate. She started to move forward, deeper into the cave.... After walking a while, she heard voices and footsteps getting closer. She jumped behind a rock and observed the two men coming around the corner closely. They talked to each other, but in a foreign language she didn't know. Their cloths were.... just.... amazingly beautiful. They had both spears in their hand and a sword as well, so it was obvious these guys were guards. But what do they guard? She thought. After the guards walked past, she got up from behind her rock and continued on. Eventually, she reached a large domed chamber. It was huge! It had marble floors, stone walls, a fresco on the dome, and marble arch ways that lead north, south, east, and west, but the most amazing feature of the room was not the marble, fresco, or stone, it was a giant sword in the exact center of the room. The sword was the most beautiful thing Karina had ever seen. It was straight and long, with a straight crossgaurd and a blue stone upon its pomel.
"Are you lost, my child?" She heard behind her and jumped. She turned around to see an old man with blue eyes and a wise face.
"N-n-no," She said.
The man smiled and said, "Do not worry, child, all are welcome here. Now, I bet you have some questions, you may ask me if you wish."
Karina was some-what reluctant, but she took the man up on his offer, "Who are you?"
The man smiled again and said, "Ah, yes, the first question every wanderer asks. We, we are descendants of the Rivans from the Isle of the Winds."
"The Isle of the Winds? No such place exists."
"No, it did, but it sank. It is no more."
She tried not to look skeptical, "Ok, then. What is this--" she pointed at the sword "--and what is it doing here?"
"It is the Sword of the Rivan Line, which, sadly, also no longer exists. It is here because we are waiting for the right person to take it up and become the next Rivan King. Prophecy has told us that there with be another Rivan King. It does not specify if this King will be a man or not, so you may try to take it, but be warned: only the pure of heart may touch the Sword. If your heart is not pure, you will be struck down."
"I shall try, but I still do not understand," She said, and then walked to the sword and reached out to touch it (STILL NAKED !). She was just about to grab the sword when she heard a voice behind her "STOP RIGHT THERE IN THE NAME OF THE KING" she turned around and two of the kings finest guards were there named Dorf and Aldow!
Dorf was a very small man, almost a midget but he could fight and has killed every person who dare defy him!
Aldow on the other hand was a huge ogre like man who was not very bright but had the strength of a hundred men!
"I SAID STOP WHAT YOU ARE DOING RIGHT NOW I HAVE ORDERS FROM THE KING!" dorf said
"UH YEA ODERS FROM DA KIG OR ELSE?"Aldow replied!
At that moment Aldow grabbed the strange old mans head AND with his massive hands he crushed it!
What was Karina to do?
Instantly, Karina grabbed the sword, and just as soon as she touched it, it burst into a bright blue flame. She held it out in front of her, her beautiful features contorted in anger. Dorf backed up, but Aldow leaped forward. Karina swung the sword, and was satisfied to hear a Ssscthh as the sword cut clean through Aldow's body, spraying blood and bone everywhere. As he fell to the floor, Karina noticed her whole body was covered in a blue aurora... Dorf was shocked that His Dimwitted friend had just been sliced in two!
He looked down at Aldow Who was surprisingly still alive and has had his legs sliced clean off!
Karina still glowing leaped at Dorf but she was two slow and was thrown backwards in to the cave wall by Dorf!
"I will not be so easaly defeated"
Karina leaped to her feet and with her sword in hand she stormed after Dorf
Dorf Swings his sword and The Blue Sword is Knocked out of her hand. She barely dodges Dorf's second strike and falls to the ground!
Dorf is Raises his sword for a final blow but Karina Rolls out of the way grabs her sword and stabs Dorf Strait though his gut!
Dorf Staggers and Falls Saying his last words "she was.....just..too Qui..................ck"
Karina Looks over at Aldow who was just a helpless fraction of his former self and wondered what to do with him?
