Poem
Once long ago, when Kings and dragons ruled the Earth, there came to be that a golden Fairy Queen was pregnant and about to give birth to a radical child. All the King's court knew this child would be gifted, destined to do great things, for a prophecy spoke of its coming. When the nobles heard of this pending birth, they promptly reported it to the ing. In those days, ignorance had a grip on the land and change was strictly forbidden. All thinkers and learned folks were feared and despised. The King was evil and ordered his knights to find and kill the Queen and her golden child. The Moon turned blood red with horror, snuffing out Her nocturnal light so the people were cloaked in darkness at night, and once the Moon stopped shining, the tides no longer came. The scared villagers panicked and begged the King to call back his knights and spare the Fairy Queen. But the King was driven mad with anger and vowed he'd slay the Queen and her golden child; nothing they said could dissuade him from accomplishing this. The people turned to the dragons and tried to persuade them with flattery to stop the King, or no one would gaze at their serpentine beauty again. But the King got wind of their ploy and banished all dragons from his land. And still, to this day, every dragon has stayed away. But the knights stumbling in the dark could not find the Fairy Queen, so her child was born amidst their chaos, and She named it Democracy. The Moon was so relieved; She beamed with joy, and Her light shone again upon the land. The people denounced the King when Democracy was born, and as prophesied, a brand-new era came into being; one where dragons and kings would eventually fade into memory.
