Bed time stories

Once upon a time, in a far away land, there was a little village next to the mountains, in there people used to live peacefully, but dark times came and they where soon threatened by all kinds of evil creatures and bad spirits...

"Dad aren't we too old for this stories? I mean, lets move on from the little village being saved by ..."The girl was interrupted
"Shut up Gix, you always cut all the fun!" said a little young boy "Go on dad, what happen to the village?"

Well... we do could change the story...but I'd rather go on with this one, i even thought about the story during the day. So as I was saying...

This little village was threatened all the time by all sorts of unspeakable foes, and everyone was afraid to even go to the neighbor for some cup of sugar, but no man was brave enough or skilled enough to be able to defeat these beasts. All hope was soon lost, but then something rare happened a weird traveler came into the town, a traveler like never seen before in those lands. There was no welcoming parties over this circumstances, if even a welcome to the traveler, everyone seemed too scared to notice her.

But then one day, this foreign went into the center of the village and started yelling at all the inhabitants, things no one could here because of the barricades, but as they heard the yelling, one by one, they started looking out. And actually heard the stranger

"People of this town, Fear no more! Because I have come to free you from this imprisoned nightmare you now call life!" said the speaker

And for the first time, the people of this village burst in laughter, men and women all laughing at the mere idea, watching her, just standing up there, with that big smile of hers, waiting for the noise to go away. Soon the laughs and giggles were over, the stranger remained in the village's center, then a voice dared to get out of a house, being heard
"How do you expect to save us?" was heard in a little orange house.

"Yes how?" was heard from another house, then all sorts of voices starting asking questions, confused, but yet they remained hidden

But again, the traveler waited for the noise to finally go away and the she went on,
"I can get reed of this creatures, I just need your cooperation" she said.

"More like you need an army's cooperation" said another anonymous voice

"All i need is to speak to you and a little help from you" said the now preoccupied stranger

"Just go back home, there is no way a little girl can help us" said another angry anonymous voice.
After this all the voices starting murmuring once again, just speaking of what a crazy idea would it be to help a child who asked for aid. A crazy kid who thought she could stop an army of evil creatures, just with "some" help.

"Please do believe me! I just want to help you" she said, now frustrated of the people's skepticisms, fearing not to be able to aid the needed people.

"Well, do you have any super strength powers?" asked a daring voice
"I do not have any strength beyond the one of a 8 year old" said the honest girl
"Do you have a super intelligence to scare them away with some powerful plan?" asked another
"No, just a normal girl" confessed the child.
"But how could you be of any help?!" asked another voice form a distant house
"I don't want to be rude, but as I see things, I'm the only person who has the intention of trying" said the girl
Then there was a killer silence...

Then a door cracked open, it was Alvery, the butcher, he had came with a sharp knife and a buckle. And as he remained paranoiac about the out doors, he stepped out of his house. "I'm willing to help the girl, she has more... courage than any other person in this sissy hole" said, as he approached the girl

She felt pleased, at last someone was cooperating, then some more doors cracked open, and Tylor the fisherman, Hunter the alchemist and Blackie the dog came out to help. Soon all the other people were expectant of what was going on, still locked in their homes.

"So what's the plan kiddo?" asked Alvery
"Well I kind of have to start by saying that no knives of bucklets will be needed today... or any day after this" said the girl.
The men and the dog were confused by this, but arguing seemed being to repetitive now, so they left their harpoons, their blue-fire bombs, and the sharp denture. So they went all wondering to the girl, as more people approached, soon there was a little crowd surrounding the girl, then they all expected for her to talk.

"I have come to bring peace back to your town, but in order to do that I need your help, but I warn you, this won't be like any other task you have done, nor will it be easy." She said, then some got a little more hope, some others chose to go back to their houses.

"Now, I need you to show your affection to those who you apreciate and also those who you don't" said the girl

"That's ridiculous! This girl just wants to loose our time!" said a thin-sharp-nosed woman as she started to go back to her house

"Shut up, we have no other option but what this kid offers" said Tylor. And she staid

"Come on! I want to see some hugging!" said the enthusiastic girl

Then some adventorous dared to pat in the back the neighbor, but that was about it.

"Haven't you ever hugged anyone?" said the girl, as she walked out of the crowd, and went striaght forward to a homeless man that had been standing near by the whole time, just looking, then everyone fixed their eyes as they couldn't believe what they were seeing, the girl had hugged the homeless man, Thomas, in such a tender and warm way that the man had no other option but to smile and hug her back. Everyone was overwhelmed by this, it had provoked such a warmth in their hearts that they didn't doubt this time but to hug the person next to them.


And so and so, it was a really magical chessy moment for everyone, they all had forgotten their previous problems and so and so.

Then, something even more rare happened, out of the thin air, some little balls of light apear, shining as the floated, soothingly in the air. People were surprised by this, not even slightly afraid of these mysterious lights. And then, one by one, in a rhythmic march, all the lights went to the girl, and were absorbed by her amber colored necklace. It started shining, but very dimly.

"The only way we will fully solve this problem will be if now you all tell the people who have ever hurted you how you feel, and that you apologize to everyone you have done something hurtful" said the girl

But the entire village muted, they had no idea how to do this

"But none of us is ever mean to anyone" said a woman in a gray dress

"Oh, common Drucilla, we all have been yelled by you, whenever we accidentally step in you STEPPING mat!" said a tall man in the back

"Yyy...yesss.. yes Drucilla, I fff..feel like you treat me in a way I shouldn't" said shaking a little woman on a fruit box.

"That's it, that's what we need!" the girl said

"I guess... i could just tell you nicely... I'm sorry" said the woman in the gray dress

Then the blacksmith told the teacher how he felt about her not lending him books because we "satined" them, then the alchemist complained to the flower lady why didn't she gave him free roses on Saint Gerald as everyone else...

And so and so, then there were a lot of apologies, then some pretty dumb stuff was brought up to, and still there were a lot of apologizing, silly crying, some more hugging, again, all cheesy and stuff.

Until the very last drop of resentment was emptied, and again this mysterious balls of light appeared out of no where, again all went to the necklace of the girl, and yet no one wondered what were those lights, and why did they went always to the girl, but everyone was too excited to think about that, never in this town there had been something like this.

"Now, and this is very important, I want you to say this along with me 'I fear you no more' and you'll think of whatever thought that has ever kept you from sleeping, you'll think of whatever creature that has been stalking to you, you'll think of whatever harm that has ever happen to you!" the girl hailed, in such an inspiring tone that people started right away.

First it was more like a conversation "I fear you no more", like a silent whisper that was not distinguished from the wind's whistle, then as they got more confident, and the girl started chanting louder, and louder. Then the chant could be heard in all the town, and they kept "I NO FEAR YOU NO MORE" in a liberating tone that would chill even the bluntest soul.

The roars of liberated people could be heard in the woods, the hailing for freedom reached the mountains, the wind carried the message to all the land "I FEAR YOU NO MORE". Birds all over the mountains surfed with the waves of the chanting. And back at the town, as quicly as they had gained all the power, the sound just went away, the fear was at last gone, the faces of peace reined again amongst the people in that town, and so, again, little lights appeared, and as the last times, went to the necklace of the little girl, now shinning as powerful as the Sun, almost vibrating with joy.

"You now have been helped! You no longer fear, hate, resent; and instead you love, foregive and express!" said the girl, proud of herself

Everyone seemed so happy, until a voice was heard
"But what are we going to do with the monsters, they are still out there"

"Fear them no more!" said the girl, and then, as if she had just came for a glass of milk, she walked to the exit of the town, right to where the monsters were, the whole town followed her, expectant of what would happen. Soon the monsters arrived in a rush, confused for not smelling uncontrollable fear, but they still rushed to the girl, trying to attack her, but then something happened, the light of her necklace repelled them, as if an invisible barrier stopped them from even touching the ari around her. Then the ones that came near, vanished, leaving nothing behind.

Everyone was in shock, how could a girl just vanquished the monsters not even the deathlier bombs could make a scratch to? But they were more impressed when the next couple of monsters arrived and as well, vanished. The same thing happened, but the villagers were still amazed, soon a whole army of them tried to attack the girl, who was just standing there, firmly, watching the monsters right at the eye.

And after they all made sure the last tri-horned Panther was vanished, they all went euphoric, clapping at the gril, singing for her, thanking her. And then, as quietly as she had arrived, she walked by the road, continuing her way. And so they saw her, walking away, the girl of the yellow dress, who's name they would never know, but who's act would never be forgotten.

Geez, i did got carried away didn't I? Oh, look you sister is all sleep now, I bet she didn't pass Blackie the dog, but I hope you enjoyed it.

"I loved it dad! please another one! Or at least tell me where does the girl goes now?!" asked the inpatient kid

"That my young Toddster, time will only tell" said his father, as he walked out of the room and turned off the light.

And there he remained, the young kid, imagining his hero, dreaming about the friend who would never leave him, the hero who would always be with him.
