Reading Diary B: Twenty-Two Goblins Continued

My Favorite Story From The Second Portion of The Twenty-Two Goblins

The Eleventh Goblin: The King Who Won a Fairy

  • Oh no. A corrupted King… He only cares about his pleasures and his desires. This can’t be good.
  • The poor counselor just wants a few days away from the King and he won’t permit it.
  • So now the counselor has to sneak out on his own pilgrimage.
  • He finds a merchant and decides to go on his voyage with him. This pilgrimage isn’t so bad after all.
  • And now a magical tree in the ocean with a fairy???
  • Farsight tells the king about his journey and he falls in love with the fairy. Must of been a good story…
  • And of course he wants to go on this journey to meet this fairy.
  • So the King gets out of the boat to find a beautiful city with jewels and pillars and pearls but it is an abandoned city. (Having images of Disney’s Ariel)
  • They decide to get married on a CONDITION that she can just disappear for 4 days every month. This is NOT going to end well.
  • She goes to visit a giant who swallows her because of a curse her hungry dad cast on her???.... WHAT?
  • The King follows her and kills the giant and conveniently breaks the curse. Oh and she conveniently remembers all the pain. And how to fly. Ok.
  • So now she has to disappear again… and she comes back without her powers.
  • And the counselor dies of sadness because…? What?
