The wise, king, and, the virtuous, maiden!



Once, upon, a time, their, was, a king, wise, and, experienced, at ruling! He feared, God, and, prayed, continuously! One day, the king, decided, to visit, his people! Walking, alongside, his horse, he, discussed, a vision, he, had, with, his elder! His youth, had, passed, fifteen, years, back, but, God, kept, him, in perfect health! "Sir", said, the elder,"" tell me, what, you dreamt, and, I will, pray, to, our Lord Jesus, for, it's meaning!"" Just then, a young, maiden, fair, and, smart, ran towards, the king! "My lord", said, the maiden,"" thieves, have broken, into, my home, stole, and beaten, me!"" "Help, me, I pray, get justice!" Standing, and beaten, the woman, leaned, in front, of, the king! "Vengeance, is, The Lords, that, was, unjust, !" "Sir, I will, send, 150, men, we brought, with, us, to capture, these, heathens, now,"! "Now, and, bring, them, to, me, snarled, the king,"! Immediately, the king, motioned, to, his doctors, to care, for, the woman! The king, was known, to be, a friend, to, his people! He donated, although, at times, he feasted, he continued, attending, church, and, his faith! Suddenly, the sky, grew, dark, and, blinded, then stunned, everyone, in, that valley! The whole, countryside, collapsed, as, an angel, appeared! With, a double, bladed, sword, on fire, the angel, spoke, loud, and hostile! "God, has seen, evil, and, abominations, from, these, people!" "Now, judgment, has come,"! "Hide, behind, those trees, and, open, thy, eyes not, said, the angel!" Suddenly, a loud, voice, was heard, from heaven! Double minded, with, purity, and truth, has, man become! They, have, learned, the ways, of, good, and, evil, while, straying, from, Grace! Blood, has spilled, man, knowing, no boundaries, has built, up, his own, destruction! Tell me, shall, a bird, be born, if, the egg, is dead, and, filled, with blood, inside, it's shell? Fire, started, to fall, as, the voice, finished, speaking, like, hail, smashing, scorching, everything, it touched! A dragon, red, and, bleeding, appeared, from, a prison, it flew, from! The angel, grabbing, his sword, with, one hand, picked, up, a long, heavy, chain! Landing, on, the head, of, the dragon, lighting, so hot, it turned, purple, struck, it! Slicing, it, through, it's neck, the angel, beheaded, the beast! Two, more, spirits, one, a spider, the other, a dog, appeared, screaming, on fire, and, bleeding! The angel, through, the chain, around, the body, of, the dragon, and, picked, him up! With, the force, of, an asteroid, being, thrown, to earth, he hurled, the dragon, into, a dungeon! Two, parts, of, the chain, burst, on fire, and, flew, from, it's middle! Grabbing, stabbing, and, cutting, the other, two, beasts, it drugged, them, at lighting, speed, into, the pit! A steel, doors, opened, up, from, each, side, of, the earth, around, the hole, smashing, into, each other! Lighting, fell, onto, a seal, marked, seven, seven, seven, and, welded, the parts, together! The Sun, lite, up, a city, in, the shape, of, a crown, as, it fell, to the earth! The king, opened, his eyes, got, up, and, walked, over, to, the maiden! His castle, was, lite, up, like, a candle, while, stars, pointed, towards, it! "My king, God, has favored, you, tell, me, thy, will, for, I, will serve, you,"! "God's, will, is, my will," replied, the king! Two months, later, the king, married, the maiden! Ruling, alongside, him, she, was fair, trustworthy, kindhearted, and, virtuous! Always, putting, time, into prayer, and, service! At, the age, of, forty-five, God, granted, them, a child! Thames Alexander Bates! Twenty, more, years, they ruled, and, passed, all, their, knowledge, to him! The same, day, he died, believers, saw, Jesus! Taken, them, to heaven, no hardship, at all, ever, again, came, to them! The, Holy, sprit, gave, them, peace, at, all times, while, keeping, evil, behind, a barrier! Oh, sing, a new, song, unto, The Lord, they, shouted, at, his glory, filling, them, with ease!  Faith, will, open, doors, that, shall, find, you! His, word, is faithful, truthful, honest, and, true! I believe, in God! Do you?

    A fairytale, and a love story, based, it would appear, on the author’s personal experiences and active imagination.
