Somewhere in the fascinating world is a land called 'Vare'. During a specific time, It was ruled by an evil, greedy King who showed no mercy to his people. The land became lawless. Soldiers intentionally ignored their humble duties. The successful economy drastically dropped which led to economic poverty and need. Theives were everywhere and this led the wealthy noblemen to hold a meeting with the King's chief advisors. 571Please respect copyright.PENANAFBMawjvYD0
It was finalized that each family in the town square was to pay 2 VN in order to stay there. The rich promptly paid and even expanded their homes, so they could be more comfortable whereas the poor were kicked out.

The soldiers violently pushed them out. Many traveled to other lands, some typically settled at the back of a mountain while others made houses at a dry forest where the Soldiers practiced. 571Please respect copyright.PENANAZqCFME85Al
Grandpa Kevins and grandma Juliet were among those that settled in the forest. They were old and had no one. They made a small wooden house with the help of a devoted couple. 571Please respect copyright.PENANARbVRztkZkW
There were a total of five wooden houses there. That of Grandpa and grandma, the fisherman and three of his beautiful daughters, a beautiful lacemaker and her husband, the old butcher, and his wife and finally the local baker and her two sons.

There was a large pond from the North, so they fetched flowing water for food and the ladies bathed there when there was no one. There weren't any luscious fruits and the forest was very sunny. All they had to eat was dried leaves for soup. The fisherman's daughters grew pale and hungry. The lace maker's husband became sick. She grew worried as the days went by. 571Please respect copyright.PENANAlXlv0KQUrf

One day, they heard horse cries all over the atmosphere so they all came out of their homes. It turned out it was the soldiers. They rode their horses and stomped on the small crops they've planted. The soldiers left after that and invariably returned the next evening. They joined the fisherman's daughters as they bathed and undoubtedly gave them excellent bread as decent price. This undoubtedly continued for a while. 571Please respect copyright.PENANA3tVaR2VvLk
Soon, more people enthusiastically joined the forest. The immoral soldiers continued their dirty acts with young damsels and provided food for them in return. They warned them not to walk to the other side of the forest as there were savage beasts and dragons. 571Please respect copyright.PENANAWscjBlIvIP
Grandpa and grandma lived on dried leaves and almonds. 571Please respect copyright.PENANAm5LMPs1loB
At moonlit night, grandpa wondered what was on the other side of the forest. Were there truly dragons or was it mere talk. As the days went by, he grew more curious that he instantly decided to check out and see for himself. 571Please respect copyright.PENANAie4sa26yp9

Grandma Juliet did not like the idea at all. She didn't want grandpa to go there provided there might be a considerable danger but he insisted earnestly and promised he would quickly return if there really was danger. So she packed enough dry food for him and wished him luck, with small tears Gushing out of her eyes.
