The story so far...


It was a long time ago, on a holodeck far far away

From her tower in the castle the lonely SnackQueen stared out at the fields.
She sighed, and a single tear ran down her cheek, for it had been months since she heard anything from her true love, her dear Holorutha.

She had just had a terrible argument with her maid, for the sheets were just not quite right. Nothing was since her love had been gone, not the day, nor the night, nor the long lonely hours in between.

What could she do? Should she remain in her tower or risk emerging like a butterfly into the cold, rainy outside world?

But the decision was not to be hers, for there was always that itchy feeling that mentioned the presence of her old father, sitting in a dark corner of the castle, screaming for some semblance of order in the disorder, that is to say : more of his favourite ale.

'Come here my daughter!', he shouted, drunk as ever.

She knew what he wanted. The same as each time that he got drunk.

She would go down and the he would go on. The subject of her refusal of betrothal to all the suiters he presented.

If only she could let him know of her feelings for Holorutha. But her father thought him merely....

a peasant who would never be able to take over the kingdom.

Where he has a point.
No one who leave's a person for long without letting knowing of his where abouts is capabel of rulling an kingdom.
(That's my opinion i'm sorry btw this of topic and of record )

So there she was, crying, thinking of her loved one, until suddenly something outside caught her eye...

A shadow upon the ground. Vast and dark, blocking out the light where it fell.
Looking skyward she saw....

...a bird. But it wasn't just any bird. She had never seen anything that beautiful. While she looked, the white albatross...

... descended gracefully and settled on the ground at her feet. To her surprise it addressed her thus:

"Alright Boss? How goes it?"


(sorry, couldn't resist )

"I have travelled along the widest reaches of this land." "Fear not, for your Holorutha shall return"...

"I have seen him in all his greatness and, believe me he is great, and he feels that he is on a mission from God, so he will return!"

"Oh" she replied, "But what shall I do while I wait for him? For it is not in my nature to sit around idly."
And it was not. She would far rather...

Suddenly she heard a dark and mysterious voice...

"Mogge"

~sorry, couldn't resist that ~

It was a ghost with a morning disorder (hihi)scraping hes throat to tell her the following

Suddenly she heard a dark and mysterious voice...
'Listen very carefully SnackQueen, for I shall say this only once..."

*fade out, camera on SnackQueen's face...*
