"Exams dah dekat. And here I posting more entries on this blog. Tak de kerja ke? ish." - FarahMexx

Started writing this before exam so Mek's quote pon dicuri.

The title is based from Dzubir's story. Yesterday he told us a story at Loi's place. We gathered there for berbuka. And this is one crazy story.

Here are the list of characters in the story(based on appearance):
Adam - the Lonely King
Dzubir - the King's personal Jester
Ida - an Amazonian Warrior
Ehsan - the Stable boy
Fuad - the Lumberjack
Aliya - the Merchant
Shikin - the Witch of the Right Shoe
Butterscup - *a creature yang i lupa namanyer*


The story begins when the Lonely King was very lonely. So a line of peoples tried to make him laugh since the king has never laughed before. Many tried but the king was still un-laughable, until a Jester came and try his luck by asking only one question.


One day, the king feels sad because of his loneliness. So he called in his Jester and told him that he's sad. The Jester suggested the king to find someone. So the king calls in an Amazon Warrior to search someone beautiful for him. He heard that on Azure city, there's a beautiful lady that is froze for her beauty for many years.The Warrior agreed and went off to search a bride for the king together with the Jester.
As they travels together, just by walking, the Warrior felt that they are moving too slow so she suggested to find horses. The Jester agrees. And they stopped by at a stable to find some horses for themselves. There was a boy taking care of the stable. The Warrior and the Jester asked for two horses for their journey and they said it is for a mission to find their future queen. The Stable boy agreed to give them horses with one condition.

So they all move on with their journey.

Days later, the Warrior suggested to make a pit stop for some good rest at the next house they saw and they all said yes. So they stopped by at the Lumberjack's hut where the Lumberjack was cutting down some trees nearby. He was alone. So the Jester asked for the Lumberjack's permission to rest there. And the Lumberjack gives a green light but with a condition; all three of them must help the Lumberjack.
First they must do some lumber jacking with only an axe. The Warrior did the job easily but too harshly. The woods cut by her turns to shrapnels more than firewoods. The Jester on the other hand had problems with the axe. It kept on turning into flowers as he swings it. The Stable boy can't even lift the axe. So the Lumberjack give them their second task. They have to do some fishing with only a lance-like stick. Being an Amazonian Warrior, she managed to catch a lot of fishes. Big ones. The Jester also manage to catch several fishes but mostly small fishes. The Stable boy stick didn't catch any fishes. Instead he stick it to his feet. For the third task, they have to cook with whatever they catch earlier. The Warrior cooked the best Amazon Steamed Fish the Lumberjack has ever taste, while the Jester's cooking was simple and just fine. The Stable boy just cook some water from the river. Luckily he didn't cook his foot instead. With all the three task done, the three travelers had their rest at the Lumberjack's place.

After their good night rest, the travelers are ready to continue with their journey. As they were about to leave, the Lumber jack wanted to join in the party so he can sell his firewood at Azure city which he actually had another reason. He was actually eyeing on something, or someone.

They traveled all the way to a ledge. And then a Merchant came with only a sling bag. In order to cross over to the other side, they needed a bridge. So the four asked the Merchant something for them to cross.

With that, they crossed the ledge easily and the Merchant joined the party to Azure city.
