The Wizard's Tale

The Wizard

Sadah Mubashshira

The wizard prepared the potions and enchanted his eagle companion. The bird took flight, soaring high above the kingdom until it found a strange, old castle where fire burned without consuming the wood. The eagle entered and saw the witch lurking within. "Master, I have found her," the eagle whispered. The wizard replied, "Well done, my friend. Now, my work begins."

The wizard prepared a series of powerful potions for himself—one to become invisible, another to mimic voices, and one that could change his appearance. With his potions ready, he set out to infiltrate the witch's castle.

Disguised as a mute maid, he blended in and served the witch and her son their meals. Into the food, he secretly mixed a deadly potion. The witch and her son consumed the food, and within moments, they fell lifeless.

The princess was now free, but guards filled the castle. Disguising himself again, the wizard took on the appearance of a soldier, using another potion to lull the guards into a deep sleep. One by one, the soldiers drifted off, leaving the wizard and the princess alone. The wizard gently took her hand, guiding her back to the kingdom.

Upon their return, the kingdom rejoiced, and the king and queen were so grateful that they allowed the wizard to marry the princess. The two lived happily ever after, the kingdom forever grateful for the courage and cleverness of the wise wizard.

Moral: True bravery and intelligence can overcome any obstacle.

Once upon a time, in a distant kingdom, there lived a beautiful and kind-hearted princess. Her charm and kindness were known throughout the land, but her life changed forever when an evil witch saw her. Driven by jealousy, the witch cursed the princess, saying, "Only the bravest soul can free her from my castle, and only then will my curse be lifted." With that, the witch captured the princess and took her to her dark castle, intending to make her marry her wicked son.

News of the princess’s capture soon spread across the kingdom, reaching the ears of a wise and powerful wizard. The wizard had a faithful companion, an eagle with the gift of speech. The wizard painted a picture of the witch and showed it to the eagle, saying, "My dear friend, can you help me find a way to save the princess?"

The eagle examined the painting and said, "Master, I have a few requests that might aid us in this quest. I need a potion to silence my voice so I can sneak in without being heard, another to make me invisible, and finally, a magical bond that will keep us connected while I search."
