a tale of three sisters

Once upon a time, in a land far away, where the land was prosperous and peaceful, live a farmer and his three beautiful daughters in a small cottage at the end of a kingdom and they lead a very happy modest life, each looking after one another. The eldest daughter was Alaina, a quick witted young lady, with charcoal black hair that often sweeps many young man’s hearts and ambitious determining in life, the second daughter was Abigail an outspoken young lady, with a gregarious and extrovert attitude she gains a lot of friends everywhere she goes, and her heart already belongs to a handsome young lad who felt deeply in love with her but she always thought that she was not beautiful enough to be by his side and the youngest daughter, Adriannna, a wise and gentle in nature young girl with eyes shines like the moon, who always looks after her father and elder siblings. Their father have been ill for so many years drew are at his end of line, he call his daughter to gather beside him at his death bed to give his will. He gave them his emerald necklace to his three grieving daughters and said” go to the Forbidden Forest after you have buried me walk together to the edge of the forest, until you have reached a White Wizard’s hut named Gandalf, give him this necklace and he will know what to do.:” and after that he drew his last breath and died. The three grieving sisters buried their father with a heavy heart and flowing tears to company their father’s burial as they loved their father dearly. That night the three of them sat together at their small wooden dining table and have trout and potatoes for dinner while suddenly the middle sister spoke” are we going to the Forbidden Forest as father told us to?”. Alaina and Adrianna froze. After a few moments of silence Alaina said” Of course we are! It is as father’s wish.” Abigail quickly replies “But it is too dangerous! Who knows what kind of danger lies in the forest!” And the argument continues until Adrianna interrupt the conversation with a stern and firm tone” We are going to the Forbidden Forest to fulfil father’s wish it is our duty as daughters.” With that being said, the decision has been made and they set off to the forest the next morning. Well equipped with weapon like bows and arrows, and swords they enter the forest with a nervous heart. Although it was morning and the sun has rose, nothing seems to change in the forest as the forest stayed buried deep in the dark and it seems as though light was forbidden to enter the forest. The forest was a pin drop silent as they could not hear the sound of anything alive besides them, nothing could be heard but the crunch of dried leaves and twigs as they walked on it. The branches seemed like scary long black arms that were trying to catch you as the strong wind blows and sometimes they would also hears the soft whispers of the wind. They carefully took one step at a time while holding tightly at each other’s arms, shivering, the thought of obeying their father’s wish might have been a very bad idea. However, it was, as Adrianna said, their duty and besides it is too late to turn back now as they almost reached their destination. As they were walking ahead and nearing the edge of the forest, they saw a shabby looking hut with broken windows, a worn curtain as a substitute to a door and the stench of dead rotten animals filled their nostrils as they went nearer to the hut.” Is this the White Wizard’s hut?” whispered Alaina to her sisters. “I think so, because no normal person in their right mind would be living in here.” said Abigail.” Ssshh…be quite.” Whispered Adrianna, whispering to each other is not a very good way to search for people, she thought. The night will soon fall, they have to get it done, fast. “Hello? Is anyone here? I am …we are looking for Gandalf, The White Wizard.” yelled Adrianna but there were no response. The three sisters began to shiver as the nights are getting darker and darker and there not even a speck of light shining in the woods, how are they going to survive a night in the forest? Even if they don’t make it out from the forest, no one will be able to find their bodies. Suddenly they heard a horrifying growl. They turn and kept eyes open for everything and searching for the growl but the growl sounded so close. “Let’s get out of here! Now! ” said Abigail to her sisters half yelling and Alaina and Adrianna nodded as sign off agreement. Afraid for their dear lives, they started walking in the dark, just then a deep hoarse voice spoke” Are you looking for someone?”,the sisters froze in the steps, and slowly turned around with faces pale towards the voice that just spoke, to their surprise instead of blood-thirsty monster in front of them, stood an old man with silver beard touching the ground, wearing white worn out robe and holding a cane on his left hand. The old man repeat the question, this time with a louder voice,” Are you looking for someone?” “Ye..yes! Are you Gandalf?” ask Alaina, “Yes indeed I am, May I ask, what business do the three of you have here? Adrianna showed him the emerald necklace” Our father told us to give this to you as his last request” she said. “My..My…condolences my dear, hm…so let’s get to it shall we?” the sisters were puzzled. The wizard smile “Few years ago your father saved me, to repay him I offered him three wishes but he told me that he did not need any because he already have what he wanted, so I gave him this emerald necklace so that if one day he changes his mind he bring this necklace to me to redeem his three wishes, so now the three wishes is yours.” The wizard explained. “So each of us have three wishes?” ask Alaina excitedly, “ No, each of you have one wish, however, I must warn you, make the right wish you will lead a happy life, if you make the wrong wish you and you alone will have to face the consequences.” Thus, after thinking long and hard , they have made their wishes. The first daughter , Alaina wishes to be the most influence and powerful women in the whole kingdom, the second daughter, Abigail wishes to be the fairest maiden in the land, when it comes to Adrianna’s turn she simply said” I wish to keep my wish for another time.” So the wizard agrees and gave her the emerald necklace. The wizard sent the three sisters home later that night. Few months goes by and Alaina and Abigail’s wishes came true, sadly the three of them have to go their separate ways. Alaina became the most influenced in the entire kingdom and she work beside the King himself and became the most powerful women in the whole kingdom and the King also wanted her to marry his prince. Abigail became the fairest maiden in the land and married to the young lad she’s madly in love with and lived happily by his side. Adrianna on the other hand still lives in the cottage at the edge of the kingdom and she is working hard by herself to manage her farm and not long after that she too got happily married to a farmer. Weeks became days, days became months and months became years, as time went by everything changes and so was the three sisters. After married to the prince, Alaina became so powerful that she had abuse the power that was given to her, later she was caught by the King’s men and were hung to death in front of the villagers. Abigail is still the fairest maiden in the land and there are a lot of young men who was crazy about her and willing to do anything for her but in the same time they were plotting to get rid of her husband so they could reach her, so thus, the husband was found slaughtered in her rose garden. Abigail was devastated, after her husband burial she cried and cried grieving for her husband’s death, days went by and she just could not live without him so she took her own life by drinking a bottle of poison. As for Adrianna, she became a proud mother of five children and she spent her happy days living beside her husband and teaching her children on how to make good choices in life. She still hold on to the emerald necklace and the wish that she still kept and same as her father she passed on the necklace to her children on her death bed and told them only to use the wish only if it necessary and after she died it was handed down from generations to generation as a family air loom.
