A Fools Dream

Chapter One - The Kingdom Of Narvia

The Kingdom of Narvia is one of the most beautiful kingdoms you will see. The streets of the village are tidy, with no rubbish on the uneven cobblestone paths. The village children play outside with one another, playing silly little fighting games. Parents working hard to provide whatever they can for their children so they don't feel any less important than the kids who play up near the palace. This part of the village was the south end of the kingdom, and if you don't know they south end of the kingdom is very poor, they are the poorest yet they are the cleanest. No dirt on the streets, no infections going around. There hast been a plague in the kingdom for years and that is thanks to the south end of the village. Everyone knew everyone, they where all very close. However, that doesn't mean absolutely everyone got along. There where people who would fight in the streets, but not over not liking each other. No, these people would fight over food, and fabric.

The lower part of the village always got what they could from the north side of the village, aka the rich part of the village. The south siders had nothing whilst the north siders had everything. The north siders didn't have to fight in the streets for who got what. No. They could just order one of there servants in their fancy mansions to go and get it for them and they'd have it in no time. The north siders didn't care what happened to the south siders as long as they stayed out of their way.

The north side and the south side was very different. We know what the south side was like, and the north side. Well, they where the complete opposite of the south side. The north side where rich, they had money for days and they could spend it on whatever luxuries they wanted. From fancy fruits and well cooked meals, to the best clothes on the market made by top designers of their time. The north side streets where also quite messy. No on ever cleared the leaves off them during autumn, if rubbish was dropped no one would ever pick it up. The two sides of the village where the complete opposite.

Like in every kingdom, there's a hierarchy. The royalty of the kingdom who live in a wonderful palace, the rich people who work good jobs ad get everything they need to survive,and the poor people who work just enough to bring home enough money to buy them at least 4 days of food to live off. So at last, the royalty of the kingdom.

Ah, to be royalty. Not wanting for anything, living in a glorious castle with servants waiting on your every order. The castle the princess and the king lived in was the most beautiful thing you have ever seen. Imagine this; a castle built with lovely bright white stones that's have started to show their age by turning a grayish colour, ivy growing on the castle walls and up the tallest parts of the castle, a moat surrounding the castle that was as clear as day: so clear in fact you could see the gravel right at the bottom and the fish swimming around, it had the most beautiful gardens, with flowers of all kinds: tulips, roses, lavender and orchids to name a few. But the inside of the castle was much more impressive.

The inside of the palace was magical, with a blood red carpet on every single stair case. The floor was was stone, but in the dining room it was wooden and in the ballroom it was marble. Every room had grand chandeliers hanging from the ceiling but in the hall ways there where sconces on every wall. There was a dungeon, that no one other than the king and head of the kingdoms army saw. Rooms so spacious you don't know what to do with all the space and a library with so many books you wouldn't be able to read all of them even if you started reading them from the age of five until you where on your deathbed.

Everything about this kingdom sounds like a dream, but that is far from the truth.
