One day I woke up, as a fox prince.
I was 14 years old.
I went to my Dad. I asked him if I could go outside and play, but I lied. I wasn't going outside to play. I really wanted to go find a girlfriend. So... I went through the forest. One guard spotted me and He told the King. The soldiers went out into the forest looking for me. I hid behind a big rock.I saw civilization, I sat there and thought for a minute and considered going into the castle at the other side of the woods. I asked a bird, where is the other castle, the fox castle? Everybody was pretty much a fox in the kingdom. The birds had no castle. There castles were the trees. Just the foxes were able to go into the kingdom among the humans.
As I thought, I cleaned my rust colored coat.
So, I went to the other kingdom and they said I could stay there for a little while. I stayed for a couple days and then went out in search of another town. I was still on the hunt for a female fox. I wasn't sure why, but I felt I needed to for my happiness. mY father was going to die today and i felt i needed to find a queen to help me in my succession.
I don't think these humans were used to being around foxes that talked. Many were uncomfortable even though they knew many of us could talk.
So I went to a small town were they allowed ships to come into port to be fixed. It was a vibrant town, with good economy and beautiful homes. I went to court and stumbled upon a beautiful auburn colored female fox. She looked perfect for me.
It didn't take too long to see that she had a boyfriend. He was dark, brick red, and muscular. He walked from the main building into the court where she stood. He looked furious at me , probably because by this time I had sauntered over and started speaking with her. Walking towards us, I could hear him challenge me to a wrestling match.
"Brawn against brawn, skill against skill!" he shouted.
Immediately he pounced and caught his sharp claws into left arm. I swung at him with my right paw and clawed him in the cheek. He yelped and kicked me hard with his back legs and I flew into a flag pole that stood 5 feet away. I regained my stance and lunged at him and tried to aim for his beady eyes. I clumsily swung and missed and he knocked me hard against the cobbles. I stood to my feet while he chided and berated me and I could see from the corner of my eye that the beautiful girl fox was quickly losing interest as well as good temper and to ensure another wonderful conversation with her I summoned all my strength and bulldozed the larger fox to the ground knocking him out cold.
What does every princess do when a hero wins the battle? She ran over and kissed me.. And said I have been waiting for a strong smart fox prince like yourself! I told her I have been searching for a princess just like her. Now lets return to the castle because my father is going to die and he intends to put the kingdom in our care.
The end.
