PLANSSSS... ZZZZZ...
I just watched Stardust (2007) again. Gerard and I saw it being played while we were on the bus going to Laguna and I had been very eager to watch the movie again. Now that I have done it, my mind simply couldn't resist with making a fairy tale of my own.
Of course, the ideas that coursed through my head are those of enchanted fairy tales that I have read or heard about during the past years. I have developed a certain plotline regarding another Inheritance Fairy Tale, wherein the King was dying, the Prince was too stupid to do the task the King asked him to do, and a laddie was tasked to do it for his Majesty.
Seeing that I love dark fairy tales, I think this one's going to turn that way, as well. I'm not yet sure when I'll start writing it, but I've prepared an outline in case I forgot about the story altogether. Although the main story has been finished, I'm still debating upon myself whether or not I'm going to put some romance in it. After all, most fairy tales contained one or two romantic scenes and I would most likely be putting that part, as well.
Here's an overview of the characters I've been planning to incorporate with my story:
Gustav - a young stable boy working for the King of Buhramar. He was ordered by the Prince to retrieve the Golden Rose in his stead, saying that he would pay him a dozen silver and gold pieces once he had accomplished the job.
Prince Kash of Buhramar - the only son and successor of the King of Buhramar. He never set a foot out of the castle in his whole life and was afraid of doing so just to seek the Golden Rose at the far end of their kingdom.
King Fardur of Buhramar - the ruler of Buhramar. On his death bed, he asked his son to retrieve the Golden Rose, an enchanted flower that grows in the crater of Mt. Kahn. It was said that the one who could retrieve the said rose should be the rightful ruler of Buhramar.
The Cunning Crow - the Guardian of the Golden Stone. He met with Gustav at the Black Market and offered him a trade between his heart and the Golden Stone, a trinket he needs in order to let the Giants of Haldin let him continue with his quest.
Gregor the Giant - the Guardian of the Golden Knife. He took the Golden Stone and welcomed Gustav into his mansion, all the while planning to tear his soul out of his body by feeding him food with the Soul Extraction Draught.
Lucia - the Guardian of the Golden Rose. She is a girl chained to the mountain and will only be freed once the rightful heir to the throne of Buhramar shall pluck the Golden Rose without prickling himself with its sharp thorns.
That sums it up. Some parts are still blurry, though. Like how Gustav would make it until the end. But once I've started writing this, I hope I would be able to create a fantastic fairy tale that I could share with kids and adults alike.
