THE ABDUCTION OF THE PRINCESS<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the old days in Ursalia, one spring day Princess Liochari woke up a little worried. Maybe from a bad dream, maybe from yesterday’s conversation and the narratives of the past with Katsoufis about the ancient years and their enemies, she felt a bit strange after sleeping. She remembered that in her dream she had seen a magician in a blue hat full of stars telling her to avoid numbers 3 and 7. She thought \u201cWhat does this mean?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n It was one of those days where staying in bed and snoring is a bad advisor. She jumped, got dressed and ran to the yard. The palace had woken up for good and everyone was hurrying to their works. In the stadium she saw the knights with their horses, dressed in their armor. It was as if they were going to war, but they were probably doing exercises and training with bows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cHere\u2019s what I need to know!\u201d Liochari exclaimed inside her. Archery. \u201cI wanted it since I was young and I liked it\u201d.<\/em> She jumped into the arena, grabbing the first bow she found in front of her. It had number 7 engraved on its handle. \u201cStrange\u201d, she thought, but did not pay any notice. She took an arrow, pulled it back and\u2026 The arrow crossed a radius of two meters and fell in front of her feet. The other knights laughed. Only Katsoufis came to help her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n He showed her how to support her body, the bow, how to place the arrow, and after 100-200 failed attempts and when she was ready to throw her first shot\u2026 chup! She disappeared from the arena. It took the knights two seconds to realize what exactly had happened. They looked first to the right, then to the left. Nothing. Then they thought to look back. The sun had darkened for a second and that was because the great dragon Orsi had hidden it. Liochari was hanging on his fingernails, while a black figure was laughing ironically riding the dragon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cGuys, on horses! Follow the dragon from the ground. And I will reach you too!\u201d Katsoufis ordered. The knights rode their horses and having the dragon as a sign in the sky followed him. Katsoufis stood in the middle of the arena, took a golden whistle from his pouch and blew three times gently. The sound was just heard in the human ear. But the dogs and cats of the palace went away and it is said that they came back after 2 weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After a minute, the sun hid again. A sudden wind blew in the yard lifting the carriages, the papers in the air. It was Mritz, Katsoufi\u2019s dragon, which in the ancient language means seven, a magic number. He landed in the middle of the arena, breaking with his tail all the windows of the neighboring houses. Katsoufis climbed on the dragon\u2019s head and, grabbing him by its knobs, pushed him to the sky and to Orsy\u2019s hunt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Liochari was shouting and screaming. She saw below the knights dressed in their armor and on their horses. \u201cMaybe I should have stayed in bed today\u201d, she thought. The dragon\u2019s claws were tucked into her tunic. She thought she could easily get away if he tore the piece around the nail. Of course, she would fall into free fall. If the dragon might have landed near a tree, she might have tried it. She didn\u2019t want to hurt herself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And while she was thinking about all this, the worst thing happened. Her tunic was torn and escaping from the dragon’s claws she started the free fall shouting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIt\u2019s over, that\u2019s it. I definitely had to sit in bed today\u201d, she thought. Her fall was quickly stopped, however, falling on something soft and hard at the same time. She was afraid to open her eyes. When she opened them with great force, she saw a familiar face in front of her. Katsoufis. She had landed on his dragon and they were now flying back to the palace. \u201cUltimately, seven was what saved me\u201d, she said in relief.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I got a new piece of “parent fiction” featuring the Gummi Bears!
