Join Clara Stahlbum as she discovers the magic in the power of love, when her Godfather Drosselmeyer presents her with a special Christmas gift, a Nutcracker, who so happens to also be Drosselmeyer's long lost nephew.
The classic Story originally created by author, E.T.A Hoffman, and soon transformed into what would be Tchaikovsky's greatest and most popular ballet of in the history of the arts. By now, the wonderful world of magic and fantasy has been adapted into many different translations, and this one is my own.
The original story of Hoffman's, The Nutcracker and the Mouse King is divided into four chapters, keeping the language simple and elegant words. Tchaikovsky's ballet is divided into two acts, performed silently with graceful and complicated body language. I wanted to write an adaption of my own with three chapters, and a more descriptive storyline.
So, please read, and enjoy for your entertainment: THE NUTCRACKER
Jet Cafl is falling. He knows he will soon hit the icy waters that surround the castle of Calbar. Above him, the Emperor's tower. It was once a place he dreamed of living, instead of his and his older brother's run-down shack. But Elements have taken everything from him. They took his hopes, his dreams, and now his brother. The Elementalist behind it: the Emperor Wrathel himself. As the Spirit Element grants Jet its abilities, he can only think about stopping the Emperor.
I will be posting this on RoyalRoad.com as well.
