More than Fiction…

 

 

This book is a Fairy Tale. However, the Scepter, the  Standard, and the Shield exist. I would be remiss to say that the crowns and keys are also in the hands of those to whom they belong.

 

The question is can you find your own key to the magical world of imagination?

 

 

 

 

Once upon a time Charles and Michelle discovered the magical kingdom of NoSera. Charles found the doorway to this kingdom in a cedar chest belonging to his mother. Michelle discovered through a wardrobe as most people who find such kingdoms do. They had many grand adventures, fell in love, married, had children, and became the rulers of the kingdom. The world outside NoSera kept them busy and as they grew older, they felt it was time to pass on the kingdom to others. This is the story of how they passed on the Kingdom of NoSera to their grandchildren.

King Charles and Queen Michelle had three wonderful grandchildren. They were not perfect, but they were the perfect age to discover the land of NoSera. The King and Queen wanted them to rule NoSera in a way that was fair to each of them and to the people of NoSera.

Of course, the first thing they had to do was to discover the kingdom. Like all magical kingdoms, it takes imagination to find. The King and Queen could not just open a door and take the three children in. The children had to find their own way into NoSera. Wardrobes and books were the way most discovered magical worlds, but each person was different. The King and Queen knew that their grandchildren would have to find the kingdom on their own.

 

To help them find their way, the King and Queen commissioned three magical keys. The keys would not unlock any door in their world, but with imagination, they could help them discover a way into NoSera. The keys gave them the idea there was something to be unlocked. The first step to opening the imagination. The keys might serve as a compass to direct them in the correct way to go. The keys though unable to unlock any door in this world should open many in the kingdom of NoSera. Finally, the keys being what they were, and each connected to the child’s imagination could do things that no one, not even the king and queen, could conceive.

 

With his own hands the King forged a crown for each child. One of gold filled with gems, one of purest gold, and a special one whose power even the king did not understand of sapphire blue. These would show all the people of NoSera the special relationship the children had with the royal family. The crowns would also give them access to the castle which sat in the middle of the kingdom. The creation of the crowns flowed from the imagination of the king. He knew the crowns would bring only good, so the king felt safe giving these talismans to his grandchildren. The king well knew that when he forged these items from his imagination that the crowns would bring amazing and unexpected things into their lives.

 

Finally, the king and queen worked together and with others to create a special gift for each grandchild. These items would give them the ability to rule the kingdom of NoSera together. Each talisman was crafted for a specific child. The children could switch, but each would work best when in the hands of the one it was given. A child could hold two of them but if tried there would be a surprise. These magical items would only work when held one at a time. If one of the children held two of them the magic of neither would work. They would also not work if taken by someone other than family

 

The oldest child received a scepter. This scepter gave her the right to make decrees and laws which would help the people of NoSera. She discovered the Scepter would only work when the holder was in the throne room of the castle sitting in the sovereign’s chair.

 

 

The middle child received a standard with the crest of NoSera on it. The standard gave the holder the right to enter the throne room with anyone he wanted. If ever there was a battle the standard held another power. When the Standard was held high, it would bring victory to the standard-bearer’s side.

The final gift for the youngest was the shield of NoSera. The shield which also held the crest of NoSera would cause those around to defend and enforce the laws and decrees of the land. The shield could also give extra strength to the wielder when used to defend those weaker than himself or in a cause that was noble and right. 

 

When the children received their gifts, they were surprised and happy. Nevertheless, they had no idea what they truly held. The only clue came in a small story that their grandfather the king had written for them.
