Once upon a time, on the other side of the milkyway, in a
far away kingdom, a king was making war on another king. One day, the
king, called Kyle lllrd, decided to fight with his army.
The other
king had a big army, and he killed lots of Kyle’s soldiers, and all his
officers. The army was desorganized.
A giant swordsman arrived
and cut the king’s right arm. Kyle lllrd cried. He decided to stay in
his fortress.
After the battle, the king became sad, and
cruel.
« -Minister ! I want to kill all humans who are
taller than me ! And I want to cut all people’s right arms !
-Are
you sure, Mylord ?
-I had never been most serious in my life !! »
Not far from the palace, a young girl was fishing with her
brother.
Suddenly, a voice spread from nowhere. It said :
«
Order from the king ! All the subjects of the town must go in font of
the palace ! Order from the king ! »
The children stood up. The
girl asked her brother.
« -Selden, help me please.
-Of
course, Amber » And he stretched his arm to his young sister.
«
-Why me, Selden ? Why am I disabled ? Why do I have just one arm ? And
why not you ?
-I don’t know, little sister. I am sorry »
The
children ran towards the fortress, hand in hand.
They arrived
near the palace. Kyle lllrd, their king, was at the top of a platform.
He had a large bandage on his right shoulder, and he had not got his
swordarm anymore, but just an awful and bloody stump !
Everybody
was shocked, but Amber’s face split in a large smile.
« -Now he
is like me ! He has not got his right arm ! »
But the king was
angry. He howled :
« -I am your king ! Next week, everybody will
be like me. Next week, everybody will only have the left arm. And if
you are taller than me, I will hang your head in font of my bed ! »
/>Amber and her brother were stunned. They left the palace as quickly
as possible. They stopped near the beach.
« -I hope that the king
would not cut my arm.
-dream on, Selden. Gods ! You are taller
than him ! I think he will cut… Your head !
-Oh Amber ! But… I
want to stay alive !
-Of course. Stop Selden. Quiet. Listen to me.
I have an idea. But… I need some help. We will steal a vessel, and we
will go in a secret Island.
-That is great ! I hope that lots of
my friends will go away with us !
-I hope… Let’s meet here
tomorrow morning. »
The next day, Amber arrived the first on
the beach, with her best friend, the only person who wanted to try and
make the journey. One minute later, Selden appeared with 3 lads.
/>« -Hey Amber ! They agree to try and make our trip ! come on !
/>-That is wonderful ! And my friend works in the harbour. It will be
easier to steal a vessel. »
The children walked towards the
harbour. The sailors were not still awoken. Very quietly, the yougsters
approached the bank.
Suddenly, they jumped on a galley, took the
oars and went away. The children sailed during an hour, and they
hoisted up the sails.
At midday, Selden, who was at the top of
the mast, cried :
« -Earth ! »
The band landed.
« -And
now, what are we doing, sister ? »
Amber was quiet.
«- We
have to save our town, our kingdom, and to kill Kyle lllrd, the mad
king !
-Yeah !
-Listen to me ! howled Amber. We have to train
with swords. Selden, give me your knife, please. »
The young girl
cut six sticks of wood. And the youngsters started their training.
/>At twilight, the were good. Selden decided to make bows and wood
swords for the next day.
They slept under the stars, in the
morning, they stood up very happy and very exited.
« -Wake up !
cried Amber, who was now the leader. We must attack the palace tonight
!!
-Why ? asked her brother.
-Kyle will start cutting arms
today. Tomorrow, he will cut heads !
-That is right ! we will
kill Kyle tonight ! »
After a short training, they prepared their
material : Selden used tomatoes and bandages to belive that his sister
had cut her arm. They travelled all the day and arrived on the beach at
twilight.
The band left discreetly the beach and ran towards the
citadel.
Selden used his bow and killed a guard. Amber took the
guard’s weapons : a large sword and two daggers. She gave her friends
the daggers, and she sheathed the sword. She was the best, and she was
left-handed.
« -Follow me ! »
They entered into the castle.
Selden saw a servant, and asked him.
« -Can we see the king, sir
?
-It is not possible, boy. Who are you ?
-I am Selden, sir.
And she is my sister.
-And why do you need to see Kyle lllrd ?
/>-I want to speak with him, » replied Amber.
The man headed them
towards the king’s office.
Selden and Amber waited in a marvellous
room.
Kyle lllrd arrived 3 minutes later.
« -King, I have to
make a deal with you !
-What sorts of deal, tiny kid ? »
Kyle
was laughing. But Amber was unruffled. She gave him a cool and
mirthless smile.
« -I want to fight against you. The looser will
perish and the winner will be the King, or the Queen.
-I am for
it, little fool. »
The king was sure to win.
Amber’s blade
caressed the king’s chest. Kyle moved back. He was disapointed. The
fighters fought back in guard.
Kyle attacked her. She parried him.
Amber stroke the king’s legs, who was unbalanced.
Selden strike
him. Kyle lllrd felt down. He was scared.
Selden was laughing :
/>« -Hey Kyle ! Do you remember ? My sister is a tiny kid and a little
fool… But she is the queen ! Long life to the queen Amber ! »
/>Amber smiled to Kyle.
« -I am not nasty, is not it ? If i were
cruel, like you, I would have cut your fingers one by one, and your
legs…
But I am not nasty ! You have already lost an arm…
I
will hang you tomorrow, and the story will stop here ! »
But
for you, raeder, the story is not finished ! Amber decided to transform
her kingdom into a Republic, and the prime minister was, of course, her
brother Selden !
The national anthem was « always is brotherhood »
and the national slogan was « If you want, you can »

« -The story is finished, children, said Grandpa. It is
time to go to bed
-What was the title of the story ? asked a tiny
voice.
-It was Amber’s Legend, the first president of our
Republic.
-Good night, Grandpa, » yawns the boy.
