The Peasant & The Prince

You are Johnny Mastersin at eighteen you are about to set out on his first journey alone, in hopes of finding treasure and making a name for himself.

“ …. HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOHNNY ! Now make a wish honey “ as I blew out the candles and re- wished the same wish I had made many times .

My family is very poor, we are the common peasants in the kingdom of Jastar, a wealthy Kingdom with a mighty army who has never lost a battle to this day.

We live on the outskirts of the kingdom and grow vegetables for a living, I have always had visions of being a great adventurer and little by little I have pieced together the modest armor I have and of course my homemade bow and arrows, I also carry a small short sword strapped to my leg. I have hunted game all my young life for meat on our table and have become quite adapt with the bow and arrow.

My story begins on my birthday, I have finally turned eighteen, I am more on the short and skinny side with blonde hair and a blemish free complexion, many people in our small village believes I am gay and I have thought about another boys cock before but no one knows that, but I am brave and out spoken and today I get the surprise of my life .

“ …. Happy birthday Johnny !!! “ I blow out my few candles and go over and hug and kiss my mom and dad. I then settle back in our homemade kitchen chair and my mother said “ so Johnny how do you like your cake ? “ and I answered back that it is wonderful but I have to get to work for the day.

“Johnny You are NOT working today, it’s your birthday and so you will relax and eat today and of course there’s this “ as Mom and dad pull out a large box from under the table and slide it over to me .

I look at the big present and giggle and bring it over to where I sit, digging into the brown paper covering my gift, I rip it open and there sits the best looking Bow and Arrow’s that I have ever seen. “ THANK YOU GUYS !!! I Love it !!! “ .

They look at me and told me “ we ran into a traveling caravan o the way home last week and saw this Bow and Arrow’s and he told us it is elven and has the best structure ever made in a large Bow, and we wanted you to have the best of something once in your life, so here it is !!! “

I couldn’t believe it and hugged them deeply and took it outside at once and disappeared inside of the woods behind us .

The Bow felt incredible in my hands and as I was stealthily walking through the woods I heard some voices… “ after we kidnap the Prince, we will come back here and hold up for the ransom”. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing and seeing, there were two humans in brown cloaks and a rather large Orc with them and their hold up place was behind our house deep inside the forest.

I knew I was going to become the hero soon, or was I gonna become the toy of these bad men and Orc.
