Let's tell a story , shall we?
A story about a young man who fell in love…
…
In a small village far away from any civilization, lived a family of three. A hardworking father who works to support his children, a quiet woman and a naive young man.
The young man named Aiden was always curious of the world outside the village yet he feared about the dangers ahead of him as people in the village always told him: " You must never venture outside the village as there are monsters out there, monsters that can break your mind or kill you instantly…". This was the warning the elders had told him yet his heart was telling him to go out and explore even if dangers await ahead of his path. He often told his twin about exploring the world someday.
Aiden's twin sister, Shella had always rejected Aiden's wish for freedom. Despite being twins, Shella never liked change and often tried to convince Aiden to stop trying to leave and live peacefully in the village as she never wanted Aiden to risk his life for a unachievable dream.
On a fateful day , a carriage had entered the village. Inside was a maiden as fair as the sun. Lost and hungry from the journey back home, she and her escorts decided to stop by the village for shelter and directions. But no one wanted a stranger at home.
Aiden had heard about the travellers from afar and decided to take it as his chance for change. He offered shelter and food for the maiden and her escorts and for return he wanted stories about the world outside.
He told them:"I can offer you food and shelter for as long as you need but you must tell me tales about the place you are from", the maiden thanked him for his generosity and they travel to the small cottage on the far east of the village.
The cottage was the childhood home of Aiden and had been left alone after his family moved to a another cottage last year. " The cottage is a little run down I'm afraid, I hope you don't mind since this is the only place big enough for all of you." Aiden told the bunch.
The fair maiden replied:"We do not mind it and thank you once again for providing us food and shelter". Aiden smiled at the response given and proceeded to bring them inside.
When Aiden returned home, Shella and their father did not agreed of Aiden's actions upon letting the strangers stay . " I did not move out from that cottage just to have a bunch of strangers or even worse MONSTERS to live there and create havoc Aiden!" The rage and disappointment of a father was heard clearly.
Aiden stood in front of his father, arms crossed and clearly angry that his father did not accept his decision of letting the maiden stay in the old cottage." Father, I can assure you that there are good people and you are overreacting about this."
Aiden told his father.
" My dear boy Aiden , you just met them a few hours ago , how can you be so sure? It must have been that WITCH , she must have seduced you ! Oh my dear boy Aiden , we will save you from the hands of that witch!".
