Once in this cold, perplexing world lived an ordinary girl called Selene together with her parents. They lived a poor but happy life.
However, when Selene was 17 years old, she found herself losing memory step by step. This is because she had ever protected a butterfly who is actually a princess who was being cursed. The curse transferred to Selene, making her lose her soul as time went by. Selene had an ominous foreboding and she was very sad because she thought there are so many beautiful things in the world which she didn’t taste. So she begged her parents to let her to travel around the world. As her wish was so strong, her parents had no choice but to agree.
After many months spent on the journey, Selene got to a small town one day. That day happened to be a bazaar day. At that time, the poor girl had already forgotten all the things apart from love and sympathy. While Selene was wandering in the street, her attention was attracted by a puppet left in the corner with its eyes full of sadness. His ugly face and strange body might explain its situation that no one wanted to get close to it. Teardrops fell from the girl’s eyes. At this moment, a fairy appeared, and she told the girl that the puppet is actually a prince trapped by a witch’s curse. The fairy also said she could help the prince become human again, but all magic came with a price, it needed the thing that Selene cherished most. Without hesitation, the girl gave out her love.
The puppet soon changed into a handsome prince. The prince lost his heart to Selene at the first sight. If it’s a pure fairy tale, the story may go like this: the prince married Selene and they lived a happy life ever after. However, don’t forget one important thing-Selene had no love left, so when the prince proposed to her, she ran away. Nothing could help the situation because it was the price of magic. From then on, no one saw the poor girl again.
Thank you for reading my blog!
Stories always come to a happy ending in fairy tales. It is true that there are many sad stories in real life, just like the story of that Indian couple which we learned yesterday. The ending of this story is diverse and a little surprising. I have a question that whether your story is praise for pure love or what.
ReplyDeleteActually, I'd like to say that every magic comes with a price.
DeleteWow. It is a unexpected ending. I love this story, which has beautiful language and attracting plot. I think my children will expect so much this kind of story, too.
ReplyDeleteHaha, thank you la...
DeleteFairytales have both sad and happy endings. I always like those with happy endings. I can`t imagine how terrible it would be to lose the ability to love. The essence of true living is really to love and be loved.
ReplyDeleteYes, I completely agree with you that love is something necessary. However, just as Leo Toistoy said:"Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.", I prefer to write some tragedies to realize the diversity:)
DeleteWhat a sad and beautiful story created by your fantastic imagination! However, I think it is a bit cruel to rob Selene of her ability to love. Compared to fairy tales with happy or sad endings, hint fictions attract me more because of their unpredictable endings. Anyway, I still love your story very much!
ReplyDeleteHmm, although I don’t know why, I find this story quite familiar, and I guessed the ending of the story before I finished reading half of it. Maybe I have read a story that had similar plots before but I couldn’t remember. (>_<) Anyway, this story is very moving and I feel really sad after reading it. Perhaps most of the fairy tales end happily, and when we see one with sad ending, we might feel a bit upset. However, this is just like the life, not every story has a happy ending, and we need learn to accept the sad ones, don’t we?
ReplyDeleteHaha~~~~It comes from the"Once Upon A Time"
ReplyDeleteI think the story itself is not the kind i like.(forgive me ha~^^) However, i think the structure of it, the choices of words and the uses of all kinds of sentences show that you are really good at writing. I think i can learn a lot from you. By the way, i always hope that every true love comes to a happy ending. Though it is just a romantic wish in my mind, i really hope so, and i am willing to sacrifice a lot for my own one. Don't you agree with me? Haha~~^^~~
I think your story is really tragic. When a person loses his/her love, I think life is no longer meaningful and vivid for this person. This girl, by accident, was cursed, consequently, she lost her soul; and then, she sacrificed herself for the happiness of a so-called “prince”. I felt sad about this girl; however, I think if I were this girl, I would definitely do not do that. Everyone should cherish his own life, in fact, this is a responsibility not only for yourself, but more importantly, for your parents as well! I think this girl is just a little selfish, since she easily gave up her wellbeing so that she could revive a stranger. I hope that you can lead a happy life and do not become that girl. Nobody can deprive the right of happiness from you, except yourself! Haoyan, all the best! Wishing you can have a good mood every day.
