The Golden Wings[and other short stories]

Story 1: The Golden Wings

There once was a pair of magical Golden Wings, that could lift the heaviest of things. The Golden Wings could be worn by anybody, anything. The Golden Wings were shared among the land of Light. But one man by the name of Selzar was greedy and wanted the wings for himself, so he hid them, but on the way back from the place he hid the Golden Wings, his ship ran over heavy currents, and Selzar drowned. The Golden Wings were lost.

Mabelle ran through the streets of Kandl. She was supposed to get buns for Madame Lillian, the Matron, from the Bakery, and have them back to her by lunch, and that had been two hours ago! Instead, she had been at the library, reading many, many books. Mabelle hadn't realized the time going by, and knew she would be punished for it. She cringed, remembering being locked in the cellar for two days, being fed only bread and water. The Matron from the Shining Stars orphanage for girls was very, very, harsh. Mabelle cringed again at the thought of Madame Lillian; her ugly features, like her horrible yellow teeth and warts. With that thought, Mabelle pushed her legs to run faster.
