The Princess is lead to the castle courtyard. There is a "stage" that was built just for her execution. There are raised benches that the Noble Men and Ladies are sitting on. Around the "stage' Common folk are standing. She is wearing a simple gown, it has an opening in front that is tied by a single bow at her wast. Her hands are bound behind her back in metal cuffs. She is wearing simple slippers on her feet. 2 guards lead her to the "stage". They walk her up 4 steps. In the middle of the "stage' there is a wooden block set, a large Axe leans against it. The Executioner stands there waiting. The Princess recognizes him, he is the Captain of her Fathers guard. They walk her over to the block. "I'm sorry Princess, but the Queen commanded me to do this terrible thing to you." he whispers. "It's alright. I'm glad it's you, and not one of the Queen's men doing this." she whispers back. A trumpet sounds. The Noble Men and Ladies stand up and face the Royal viewing booth. "Noble Men and Ladies, and common folk, I give you, her Highness, the Queen!" he shouts! A curtain parts, and the Queen steps out. She's dressed in an incredible gown, covered in gems and jewels. It is cut low in front to show off her cleavage. A large green gem in an ornate necklace hangs from her neck, just between the top her cleavage mounds. She is wearing the Kings crown! She steps around the Queen's throne, and sits in the King's empty throne! "Dear Noble men and Ladies, and common folk (she says common folk with contempt in her voice.) welcome to this glorious day! The 18th Birthday and Execution Day of the Princess, the Murderer of her father the King!" she says with glee in her voice! "We've waited until the Princess came of age as per the law, to finally carry out her Death Sentence by Beheading by Axe!" "I feel, do to the Heinous Nature of the crime she was found Guilty of, the "Princess" shall be Stripped of All Dignity! Her Glorious Curly Blonde hair shall be cut off and she will be Executed NUDE! Forever to be remembered in Disgrace!" The entire crowd both Nobles and common folk, let out a gasp of dis-belief! The Queen frowns at this outburst, but then regains her evil smirk. "Executioner, strip the prisoner of her gown, and using her own dagger, the Murder Weapon, cut off her hair!"  she commands. "I AM INNOCENT! shouts the Princess. "You were found GUILTY! And you WILL BE EXECUTED TODAY!" shouts back the Queen. "Very well. I have no way to stop your evil!" says the Princess. "But may I make a Final Request?" Curious, the Queen replies, "Very well, make your Final Request." "I request that I shall be allowed to remove my own gown, and cut my own hair." the Princess asks. "Consider it another Humiliation." The Queen ponders the request, and says. "Very well, the prisoner will be allowed to commit these final humiliations to herself! But beware, if you try anything, anything at all, I will have my guard slaughter all these Peasants!  Do you understand?" The Princess nods. "Executioner, remove her shackles and hand her the dagger." the Queen says. "Guards, stand ready!" The Executioner unlocks the shackles, and hands the Princess her dagger. "Please Princess, don't do this! Don't give the Queen this ultimate humiliation!" The Captain asks her. "Thank you, but I wish to do this! I do not feel humiliation, it will make me feel free!" she says to the Captain. There is a tear in the Captains eye. The Princess takes the dagger in her right hand, and her ponytail in her left. She raises the blade to her hair, and slice through her hair in 1 clean stroke. She hands the dagger back to the Captain. She also hands him her golden curly ponytail. He takes the dagger and puts it back in the scabbard on his belt. He sets her hair to the side. The Princess shakes her head, her remaining curls are now shoulder length. Then she reaches for the bow at her waist. She pulls the rope, the bow unties. She let's it fall to the ground. She opens the gown, letting slip off her shoulders to the ground. She stands nude before the crowd! The Princess is a vision of beauty! Her golden skin glows in the early morning light! Her small breast stand firm on her chest, her pink nipples stand erect on her puffy areolas! Her body is firm, with feminine muscle tone, her abs are well defined! She has a cute inny bellybutton! (for all you bellybutton fans!) She has golden pubic hair that lightly covers her vagina area. Her long legs are firm again with nice feminine muscle tone! Even though she spent the last year and a half in a prison cell, she maintained a workout routine to keep her self in top physical shape! The crowd turns their eyes downward out of respect for the Princess. A few young boys eyes remain on the Princess' body a little longer! The Captain also stares straight ahead. Only the 2 guards that brought the Princess here stare at her incredible nude body! Even the Nobel Men and Ladies do the same. The Queen doesn't notice. Her eyes are on the Princess. She can not believe that the Princess could remain so beautiful after a year and a half in her cell.  After a moment of silence the Queen commands. "Re-shackle the prisoner and put her on the block!"  But before the to guards can respond to her command, the Princess steps forward and kneels before the block. She stares at the Queen. "You may take my head today, but you will never be the true Ruler of this Kingdom because of your LIES and TRICKERY!" she proclaims. Then the Princess places her neck on the block and prepares for her death. "Executioner! Pick up your AXE and take the prisoner's head!" the Queen says with excitement. The Captain hesitates. "NOW Captain, Do it NOW!" she screams. The Captain whispers, "I'm sorry Princess for what I must do now." "It's okay my friend, you must do this." she whispers back.  She relaxes her body, and waits for the bite of the Axe to take her head. He takes the Axe in his hands, slowly raises it over his head, and swings with all his might, hoping the Axe does it's deadly deed in 1 stroke. KA-CHUNK! The blade slams into the wooden block. It's blade cleanly slices through the Princess' neck! Her head remains in place for a moment. The Princess' mouth and her blue eyes open wide as the blade slams home! "It is done!" she thinks to herself. She is amazed that her brain still functions. Then her line of sight starts to pitch downwards. Her view of the Queen is replaced with the sight of the wood planks that make up the "stage".  Then an upside down view of the block where her neck was just resting. Then she is looking up at the sky! Then THUMP! her head hits the floor of the "stage." Her head then flops over to the left, she can see the crowd beside the stage, she can hear them crying. They are not looking at her, they do not see the horrific sight that has just happened. At the same time her head starts to fall, on the other side of the Axe blade, blood splurts out between the blade and her heck stump. With each beat of her heart more blood splurts! Then the princess' headless body slides back from the blade. It almost like it's trying  to sit back on her heels, her arms try to reach up like they are trying to feel for her missing head! Thump Thump her heart beats, Splurt Splurt, her blood pumps out of her neck! The Queen watches in total amazement! Thump Thump, Splurt Splurt! Blood flows down between the Princess' breasts! Then her body slumps to the left. It rolls onto her back, her knees up, then her back arches her breasts pointing to the sky! Her arms on their elbows, seem to be trying to reach for the sky. Then her legs stiffen, and her feet slide straight out. Her body is now laying straight out. It shudders a few more times, thump thump, splurt splurt her weak heartbeat pumps out a little more blood, then it stops beating. The Princess' mouth and eyes slowly close. The Princess is DEAD!  (Nobody notices the cloaked figure climb up onto the courtyard wall.) The Queen screams out in uncontrolled glee. "THE PRINCESS IS DEAD! LONG LIVE YOUR QUEEN!" The cloaked figure removes a large bow, draws a single large arrow from the quiver, the arrowhead is glowing red! then notches the arrow, draws back the bow string and shouts. "LONG LIVE THE PRINCESS!" In a masculine voice! And then the figure lets loose the arrow, and prays, "May this arrow strike true, and slay the Foul Queen once and for all!" Suddenly all eyes are on the cloaked figure. The arrow hisses through the air. The Queen's eyes open wide in terror, her mouth opens, but before she can say anything, the arrow strikes true! The glowing arrowhead hits dead center of the green jewel, shattering it! It continues on, piercing the Queen's chest right between her breasts! I passes through her sternum, and through her heart, and  out her back, where it comes to rest. 1 foot of arrow sticking out her back, 2 1/2 feet of arrow sticking out of her chest! GREEN BLOOD starts to flow from the wounds! The Queen screams. "NO!" Her body starts to shimmer, and shaking. Then there is a FLASH of green light! Everyone stares at where the Queen once stood. But her beauty has gone, and a HIDEOUS OLD HAG is now standing. Her eyes blink, she tries to say something, but dust comes from her mouth! Then her body start to decompose, turning to dust, and crumbles to the floor! Then a breeze kicks up swirls around and blows the dust away! A cheer goes up from the entire crowd! The Queen's guard have also turned to dust. The figure on the wall flips back the hood on his cloak, revealing long blonde hair flows on his head, and long pointed ears? The crowd is awestruck! Someone yells out. "He's an ELF!" Someone else yells out. "It can't be! I thought they were just stuff of Fairy tale stories! The Elf jumps from the wall, runs across the courtyard, leaps onto the "stage" and over to the Princess. He kneels down beside her body, reaches over and picks up her head. He places it back on her neck where it belongs, and starts to chant in Elvish. As he repeats the chant, he starts to glow blue! Then the blue glow envelopes the Princess' body. The wound on her neck starts to glow! He continues to chant. The glow gets brighter and brighter! Everyone has to close or overt their eyes because of the brightness! Then there is a BRILLIANT FLASH! And then silence. The people start opening their eyes, trying to clear the glow. The Elf looks down at the Princess, he is still holding her head in his hands. Then something amazing happens! The Princess' eyelids start to flutter! Then they slowly open! At first everything is blurry. But then a face comes into focus. The Princess blinks her eyes, tears start to flow from them. Her mind comes into focus, her mouth starts to move. Is it true, can she really be alive? Or is this what it is like in Death? "P... P...Prince Dreamweaver? Can it be true? Are you really here? she whispers faintly. "Am I dead?" "No, you are alive! You took the potion I sent to you. I am so glad!" he whispers back to her. She smiles. He removes his cloak and covers her bare body. "Are you ready to stand? he asks. "Yes, I think so." she replies. "Then we will do it slowly." he says. And slowly he lifts the Princess to her feet! She is a little wobbly. He steadies her. She smiles at him. "You are real!" she says. "When i was young we used to play in the woods. I tried to tell my Mother about you, but she didn't believe me! Then as I got older, things changed. I stopped believing?" "That is true! But I am here now, when you needed me! And I am real!" he said with a smile. Then, when the fog had completely cleared in the Princess' head, He says, "It's time for you to take your proper place!" He looks up, looks around the crowd, he see's that they are both Amazed and Confused about what just happened. "He says to them, "Behold! All that you thought or have been told is no longer necessary! We the Elves of the Woods do exist! We will no longer be Fairy tales or Imaginary friends to young children! And yes! Magic DOES exist! I give you PROOF! May I introduce to you QUEEN CHRYSTAL BLACKTHORNE!" For a moment there was silence, then slowly the crows started to respond with applause, then cheers! "ALL HAIL THE QUEEN CHRYSTAL!" they all shouted in unison!  The new Queen broke into tears at all the Fan fair! Then a HUGE smile on her beautiful face! She waved to all the people! The Captain of the Guard walked up to her and hugged her! "I'm so sorry about what I did to you your Highness." he said somberly. "No need my Captain! You had a job to do. Had you refused to do it, I'm sure the "Queen" would have had someone take your head along with mine, my friend!" she replied with a smile on her face. And she kissed him on his cheek. "Now, let's get you dressed in PROPER Royal attire!" he said with a smile. "There will be a GREAT CELEBRATION for our new QUEEN, and ALL are invited to join in!" he shouted to the cheering crowd.                                                    THE END!
