Dreary Tales

Maiden on top of the tower

Long long ago in the deepest parts of the black forest stood an old tower. In that tower lived a woman wearing all white and having a blind fold, she was trapped there throughout her whole life. This woman is called the blind maiden as she was the most fairest of them all. She stand up there everyday reading her book until one day a horse appeared. On that horse was a knight sporting black armor as he road past the tower he caught a glimpse of the blind maiden. The black knight immediately fell in love seeing the woman wearing white.

She wore a hood over her face that is also connected to her dress, wearing a worn out blind fold. The black knight saw the maiden through the top of the tower window on the very high point. The black knight yelled out to the blind maiden, the black knight got her attention. The black knight asked why she was up on the tower all alone, in the middle of the black forest. That's when the blind maiden told him that an evil man put a curse on her. The man cursed her to be blind and she cannot exist the tower for she is sealed in with magic.

Not to worry though for the black lustful knight said that she would free the blind maiden from her curse. The black knight climbed up a tree nearby but however though it wasn't enough to reach the window. It seems that the only way through the tower was that window on the very top. No wonder why she couldn't escape, the black knight saw some vines and roots that are growing on the wall. The black knight grabbed onto the root and began climbing, "hold on I'll be there shortly" said the knight. The black knight then asked if the maiden was a princess and she said no.

While climbing he felt that something was wrong, a gut feeling telling him to go back down. The black knight ignored it and continue climbing halfway, he asked the princess why she was curse to be up there. The maiden yelled "just know that a very evil man did this to me, black knight" the blind maiden said. She told him to hurry up and to not ask anymore question for its freezing up here. The black knight paid no attention as long as he gets to save some lady he could, do it later tonight. As the black knight draws near the window he couldn't help but feel the same gut feeling again.

That feeling telling him to go down right now,like a flight or fight situation in which in danger run. The black knight didn't follow his gut feeling and went inside the window. The black knight finally came to the blind maiden's rescue and the blind maiden congratulated him. The black knight walks towards the blind maiden to remove her worn out blind fold. That seems to be a mistake however for when he did he saw what the blind maiden's true intent was. In fact she was no ordinary maiden but a succubus, her eyes says it all as it was not normal human eyes.

It was the eyes of a cat, having a hint of red to it as the black knight screamed in horror. He fell in to the succubus trap and as a result killed and ate him in the process. Turns out she was trapped there by a powerful witch and the blind fold she wore actually held back her powers. The succubus powers back on she turned into a terrible creature and flew out the tower. That was the end of the story and now, what did we learn form that said story you say. Well the moral of the story was temptation has over powers will and as you can see in the story.
