Once upon a time, maybe 50 years in the future, a beautiful girl named
ariadne lived with her father, the fish mealer, in an underwater city.
Before ariadne had been born, an old fortune teller had knocked on the
door of her mother and father's sleep pod begging to read fortunes for a
place to stay. She read her cards and had told ariadne's mother that she
would have daughter. She gave her mother an precious wood pendant on a
string necklace and said she would return one day with its pair.
Her mother got sick and died during the war of independance. The
torpedoes that hit broke buildings and made lots of people sick and
poisoned the air and water. Many people died, but not her or her
father.
When ariadne was 8 yrs old, A young man came holding the pair of the
wooden necklace, to ask to be an apprentice. A relative of the old lady,
the boy came to work making fish meal to feed his family. Everyday he
taught her how to sing, dance, play music. So as she worked making fish
meal she sang and dance, and put her heart into grinding her fish that
made her everyday more beautiful.
Slowly her fish meal became famous for being so evenly ground, so finely
ground, and so pure that one day the city's owner heard about it.
A few things you should know about kings that people rarely tell you. A
kings job is fighting and killing and doing whatever it takes to protect
his kingdom from being taken by other kings, and at the same time trying
take kingdoms away from other kings. All this fighting and killing is
terribly expensive and so the king is always looking for gold to pay for
fighting.
One thing you should know about this king was that his name was othello,
and yes you guessed it, his lieutenants name was iago. But king othello
was unmarried and when he was fighting or raising money to fight, he was
looking for women worthy of his droit de seigneur.
So when the miller heard the king was interested in the famous flower
flour, he became afraid that his daughter would refuse the king, and the
king would have her jailed or killed.
Knowing the kings greed for gold might distract him his daughters.
