Once Upon A Time | JongSang

Once, Long Ago

Royals and Rebels. If I say so myself, the two most important roles in any story are.

Oh, you are just a sucker for things going according to plan. I like a little chaos once in a while.

Of course, you do, Long Ago.

Don't mock me, Once.

Oh- Look, Long Ago, someone is listening to us.

You're right, Once. Hello there! My name is Long Ago, and this is Once. We are the overseers of the Story Book World.

Yes, we see and hear all that goes on in Story Book, but we can not interfere. We are only to watch and narrate the story for all who dare to listen.

You are being so dramatic; Once, let's not scare them away quite yet.

Very well, welcome to Story Book! You will find many interesting stories here and maybe a hint of drama.

Now look who is a sucker for chaos.

Well, we are twins, after all. Perhaps we share some common traits.

Right, anywho, let us explain the History of the Story Book!

It's really dull.

It is, but we must tell them, or they will get confused.

You're right, anyways; everyone knows the fairy tale stories of wild beats and pretty princesses, right?

Oh, if they are here, I am sure they do!

Calm down, Once. As I was saying, the fairy tales are no tales but history here in Story Book. The original prince and princess are our generation's great grandparents, and the Main character gets passed down to the Main character's children.

For example, The Big Bad Wolf's child will become the next big bad wolf, regardless of gender.

And once they become 18, they must fulfill the role of their parents to keep Story Books magic following.

Did you call me?

Why would I call you?

You said once.

I was talking about the time version, not you- Monkey.

Hey!

Anyways, do not think about it too hard. It will get more confusing as it goes.

Yes, like the Choi family.

Yes, I like them. The Choi has been the original prince charming bloodline. Because of the many princes with that name and people that marry into the title, everyone is a Choi. If you are a Rebel, you're fine.

You have to explain what a Rebel and Royal is, Long Ago.

Right, yes! Pardon me. A Royal is anyone with royal blood and the protagonist of the story. A Rebel is someone who is either not royal or the villain of the story.

Quite prejudice if I say so myself.

You're right, but there is nothing we can do about it. We can only narrate the story as it flows through time. That is our role in this story.

Sadly.

Yes, very. Moving forward! I hope you enjoy your time here in Story Book...just beware of the villains. You never know what they might entail.

OhHHHhhhhhHHhhhh-

Stop it.

But I wanted to make it scary!

It was cringe; stop it.

Let me do what I want.

No.

Oh my, Fairy-
