The Tales of 100 stars

1)the Lumberjack and The Singing Damsel

There is an old tale to be told wich is of a demsel's one. About a lumberjack who worked from sunset to dawn.

This particular lumberjack is not as ordinary as the rest of his village. He sang and played on his self made harp, when he had his leisure time. Evry evening he went to the plaza of his village dressed as a bard to sing, play and tell his stories wich was enjoyable for everyone.

But little did he know that his successes as bard would fall apart. All this success would become a mess.

One traveled deep in the forest on this misty day, poor lumberjack lost his way. The lumberjack got stressed out becouse it was getting dark and he would not be able to be back home with his beloved one. He took hid entrusted harp and played while he was singing his poem.

One heard a voice from afar. He played his harp once again only to hear the voice singing with the same mellody of his song. The lumberjack played and song louder and louder only to hear the voice respond more and more. He almost fell off a cliff, only to see a woman floating in the sky. Singing his melodie and dancing on the fog. The lost lumberjack was surprised and in shock.

''Oh beautiful damsil, i want to know who you are. Your voice is like a mellody from afar'' sayed the Lumberjack to only see her fade away in the dark.

The mist was gone like the damsel that he saw in the sky, he saw the village and rushed back home to only see his beloved one and told her everything he saw.
''Are you sure this is what you had seen?"
asked his love.

The girl went to bed not believing the poor lumberjack so the next morning he dressed up and went back to the plaza.

"People of this town, i have a new tale which is not a lie. I saw a maiden dancing in the sky".

"She had long crimson hair, so pure and red like a flare. A white dress as clear as snow that covered the surface below."

The people of the village could only laugh.
"Your tale is unreal like the girlfriend you don't have."

The lumberjack was confused and went back to the woods to cry. Suddenly the mist was back and he took his harp and played a melody of grief, only to see a glimpse of the singing damsil.

He ren straight up to her and sayed
"Dear damsel i wish to see your face so bad." what the girl denied, leaving the young lumberjack cold and sad.

When he walked back to the plaza singing a and telling his poems, less and less people didn't stop by leaving the lumberjack alone.

He went back home looking for his love that was nowhere to be found. So he jumped in bed alone for this cold winter night.

He had a dream of a man breaking in there house. The only thing he heard before waking up were the cries from the love of his life.

Little did one know that his love was killed a whole year ago. Her body disappeared, only her soul to be left alone. She had started a new life as a singing demsil that dances in the mist. And couldn't rest till her true love would be kissed.

The lumberjack returned once more to the woods back to his special place, while the mist came back and it looked like nothing else could co-exist.

The crimson-haired lady came back to him for this verry last time, becouse she had kissed him in his sleep meaning she would disappear forever and finally could forget the burglars crime.

She sang the song her true love whrote for her making him confused.
''Oh dear damsel, how do you know this song" he sayed.

"I know it becouse you whrote it for me."

The lumberjack didn't get what whe ment, so she showed her memories what the mist did present.

The young lumberjack was speechless becouse of this event, he was all this time alone whitout his girlfriend. He cried and cried knowing the true reality of the cruel world he lived in.

The singing damsel asked to perform together one more time and by that she kissed him and disappeared like the mist that swirled all around.
