adventures

hahahahahaha :D
i had played with my little brother and the lego some days ago, so he kept on asking me to continue our play - he said my play was unsurpassed (and i'm still trying the figure out whether that is or is not a compliment for an adult - which i am, surreal it is)... So yesterday i - finally - did it; and it was fun!
(for those who don't have anything very useful to do, you're allowed to read on :P - cause here comes: the adventures we are in! (otherwise, skip until bold letters appear))

we made ourselves knights and soldiers, witches and dragons, evil ones and benevolent ones; they really look cool (H).
So during that process i conceived of the plot. Now mind you, in my playing there have always been plots, very interesting thing actually, never just dull building or whatever, but there has to be a line, a story.
So euhm... here it is:
there once was a large country - the red carpet we play on - with in each of the corners a city, ruled by a king (mind you: it is still one country). Now, those kings all have a golden crown, signifying their unity, and the citizens only have to follow orders from a king if the order is agreed upon by all four kings. This way, the cities work together for safety and economy, which - of course, since it is my plot i could make it so - works really well.
In the midst of the carpet - euhm, i mean country - there is a sword in a treasury, which, when stabbed into the earth, divides the country into four again (the earth splits...). This sword was put there by the kings' ancestors who had brought unity amongst the four cities and was well guarded by magic spells and skeletons.

Now, a cousin of one of the kings steals that king's crown. To his surprise however, only two special attendants thereafter listen to him. Knowing he is unable to conquer the other kings in his quest for power, he resorts to magic and the really evil figures appear one by one. Contrary to what he had expected they didn't obey him; because, as they said, he held only one crown while they knew there were four.
So those evil figures then set out to obtain power - trying to get as much crowns as they can, or perhaps dividing the country again with the sword, so as to have control over one city - we don't know yet, it will be played though :).

What is interesting to note however is that there are some principles underlying the plot:
-prosperity and harmony go together;
-when the harmony is broken, chaos (=the evil figures) gets released, into an uncontroled search for power.

haha, sorry for absolutely boring you, yet i hope you did enjoy :P
