Fairy tales for young and old ~ English version

Cursed Faerie

Once upon a time, in a faraway kingdom, there lived a wise and just queen named Fracia and a brave and noble king named Eroen. They were blessed with five beautiful daughters named Dhana, Aerith, Karia, Tiwen, and Aladia. The kingdom was known for its prosperity and happiness, and the royal family was greatly loved by their subjects.

However, Queen Fracia had a peculiar belief. She did not believe in magic and openly mocked the stories and legends that surrounded it. Little did she know that her words had reached the ears of the powerful fairy queen, Lamyndra. Frustrated by the queen's persistent mockery, Lamyndra decided to teach her a lesson.

One fateful day, as Queen Fracia awaited the arrival of her sixth child, the fairy queen appeared before her, shrouded in an ethereal glow. Lamyndra cast a powerful spell, ensuring that the child the queen carried would be a boy. He would grow up to be a sweet and gentle prince, loved by all, but he would be burdened with a powerful and terrible magic. Moreover, he would never be able to love a woman.

Realizing the gravity of her mistake, Queen Fracia and King Eroen pleaded with the fairy queen to undo the spell. But Lamyndra, hurt by their mockery, disappeared without a trace.

Years passed, and the prince named Osran grew up to be the kindest person in all the kingdoms. His gentle nature endeared him to everyone he met. However, his powers were as terrible as Lamyndra had foretold. Accidentally setting fire to the castle, poisoning the village well, causing violent storms for a whole year, and even transforming guards into animals, Osran inadvertently wreaked havoc wherever he went.

The villagers of the kingdom, frightened by his unpredictable powers, began to abandon their homes, seeking refuge in more welcoming lands. Osran, overwhelmed by guilt and fear, isolated himself in the highest tower of the castle, where he felt safe from harming anyone.

One day, a grand ball was organized in honor of Osran's sisters, and his parents insisted that he attend. Reluctantly, Osran made his way to the ball, but his appearance, which was skinny and androgynous, became the subject of mockery by some of the nobles and visiting princes and princesses. Despite his best efforts, his powers awoke, and he unintentionally hurt someone.

Filled with mortification and shame, Osran locked himself away in his room, refusing to see anyone. The five princesses, filled with love and protective fury over their beloved brother, confronted those who had dared to attack him. Determined to find a solution to their brother's curse, they embarked on a perilous journey.

The princesses traveled day and night, forsaking their rich dresses and jewelry for humbler attire, as they knew that the fairy queen would only accept their pleas if they came humbly. Finally, after days of arduous travel, they reached the fairy queen's enchanted kingdom. But to their disappointment, she could not help them.

The fairy queen explained that she had granted Osran powers beyond her own capabilities, and she could not simply lift the curse, even if she wanted to. However, there was hope. She revealed the existence of a powerful wizard named Jorah, who resided on a volcanic island.

The fairy queen guided the princesses to the island, where they met Jorah, a formidable and kind-hearted wizard. He welcomed them with warmth and offered them food and shelter. As they shared their brother's plight with Jorah, he listened attentively, his eyes filled with empathy.

Jorah, recognizing the potential in Osran's powers, decided to help. He used his vast knowledge of magic to transport the princesses back to their castle, where they found Osran locked away in his room, lost in his sorrow and self-doubt.

Jorah presented Osran with a golden ring, imbued with ancient magic. This ring had the power to control and lock away Osran's powers, giving him the freedom to use his magic for good. However, Jorah insisted that Osran needed to learn to master his abilities, as they were too powerful to be ignored.

Osran, desperate for a chance to bring peace and harmony back to his kingdom, accepted Jorah's offer. Under Jorah's guidance, the prince began to learn how to control his magic, channeling his powers into acts of kindness and healing.

As Osran and Jorah spent more time together, their bond grew stronger, their shared experiences forging a deep connection between them. They realized their feelings for each other were blossoming into something beautiful, a love that transcended the boundaries set by Lamyndra's curse.

Together, Osran and Jorah embarked on a journey to repair the spell that Osran had accidentally cast, aiming to bring peace and harmony back to their kingdom. With their combined strength and unwavering love, they succeeded in undoing the curse that had plagued Osran for so long.

News of their triumph spread throughout the land, and the villagers who had abandoned the kingdom returned, drawn by the promise of a brighter future. Osran, now a beloved and respected prince, ruled with wisdom and compassion, using his powers to protect and nurture his people.

And so, the kingdom thrived under the reign of Prince Osran and his true love, Jorah. Their love story became a legend, inspiring generations to embrace their true selves and the power of love, even in the face of adversity. And thus, nobody ever doubted the existence of magic.
