The Elf citizens of Imaginaerum were out in the streets in full force today as they partied hard and celebrated the safe return of their elf queen, Tiffian. Just a short while ago, a evil Orc mage had kidnapped the queen in the middle of the night and with his forces took her back to his dark castle.

The citizens of the land feared for the worst as the Orc slowly drain Tiffian of her power that kept the land in check and bathed in the heavenly glow of warm light. This power under his control could easily and began to turn the land rotten and the light dark and chilling.

Out of the darkness though rose a hero clad in purple and with mystic sword and shield in hand he battled the Orc’s minions and generals and finally saved the queen with the help of many others. With peace and light returning to the land, many thought the threat of darkness was gone, but the darkness of jealousy still haunted the land.

“That no good dirty queen!” A woman with long violet hair which she wore a black blouse with a long flowing purple skirt with black boots which her ears were pointed to show she was an elf shouted. She tossed a jug of milk at a picture of the queen she had inside of her home as her anger raged.

“She would never have been saved without me helping the hero and now that he has her I’m out of the picture!” She shouted as she stomped around her home angered she lost a love to someone like the queen. “If only I could remove her from the picture.” She thought sitting down and eyed her sister’s chemistry set. As she looked at it her anger vanished and was replaced with a calm sly look.

“Then again, it’s not impossible.” She said grinning moving over to the chemistry set with some of her farm’s milk in hand.

---------

As the sun shined brightly on a another peaceful day, the elf guards to the castle gates yawned at being bored.

“Almost wish the queen was kidnap to make something exciting happen.” One of them said.

“Hey, don’t let anyone hear that. You know the head guard plans to train us hard to prevent that again right?” The other guard said as they made idle chatter how they would be train to death. As they did the milk woman approached them with a wagon full of bottle milk.

“Hey there fellas.” She said with a cute wink of her eye.

“Oh Luctiana. Hello, aren’t you early with this weeks delivery?” One of the guard asked curious.

“Yeah I am, I got a brand new type of milk I like the queen to try. You know get her approval for public use.” Luctiana said with a smile.

“That so? Mind if we try?” The guards asked.

“Ummm, no sorry. Just enough for the queen.” Luctiana replied giving a sorry look.

“Ahhh, so mean of you.” The guards said with a sigh. “Alright, go on.” They said as they pointed their hands at the castle which there was no drawbridge and just a large lake around the castle.

“Un, si, la, mon, le, lan, le, sa, mori.” They chanted as the water raised up and formed a bridge as the chant summoned water spirits to carry out their wishes.

“Thanks!” Luctiana said as she made her way over the bridge. Once on land the bridge vanished and she grinned as she made her way into the castle.

-------

“Honestly Dolf, couldn’t someone or you have done this?” Tiffian, who wore a royal red outfit asked as a creature stood next to her as a mountain of paper work stood in front of her. This creature was a ushi-oni which the creature was half ox and half octopus and the creature was purple in skin and held a old wooden staff in one hand and was the advisor to the kingdom.

“Sorrrryyy.” It said with a gruff tone. “I was so busy trying to rescue you I forgot about this.” He said drawing the queen’s glare.

“You were just sitting around eating ink chips and watching the mermaids in the nearby pond weren’t you?” She accused him.

“Well, ummm, would you look at the time! I must be going. Be sure to finish that!” Dolf said quickly moving out of the room.

“Things never change.” The queen sighed as she resume her work. As she stamped the endless papers in front of her, there was a knock on the door. “Yes?” She said as Luctiana came strolling in holding a small urn containing her special milk.

“Morning your highness, it is I Luctiana of the milk farms.” She said with a bow.

“Ah, Luctiana. How many I help you today?” Tiffian said grateful for the break in her work schedule.

“I come bearing a special milk that I hope you approve for public use.” She said walking towards the queen and poured her a glass.

“Special milk?” Tiffian asked looking at the glass as the milk had a green tint to it.
“Yes, it’s more sweet and creamy. I’m sure you will love it.” Luctiana assured.

Tiffian looked at the milk a bit longer before shrugging and gulping it down in one go.

“Ummm, are you sure this is different? It taste the same but has a really odd flavor to it.” She said wiping off her milk mustache. Not long afterwards she began to feel lightheaded and as the room spin she face planted onto her desk being out cold.  

“Glad you like my sleepy milk.” Luctiana said with a giggle as she pulled a sack from out under her outfit and began to stuff the queen into it.

---------

“Un, si, la, mon, le, lan, le, sa, mori.” The guards chanted again as Luctiana crossed the bridge with her wagon now empty except for a brown sack that was on it.

“Whats in the sack?” A guard asked stopping Luctiana.

“Oh, just something the queen said I could have.” Luctiana said with a smile.

“Oh, well move on then. See you next week.” The guards said as Luctiana nodded and continued on her way smiling deviously.

----------

“Mmrmrphm?” Tiffian moan as she slowly came to and as her eyes fluttered open she weakly gazed around the room to see she was in a barn of some kind which was empty of the animals but their hay beds was scattered around the floor.

Tiffian tried to move her body but something tight kept her body pinned. She gazed down and saw that her royal dress was now replaced with farm rag clothing which consisted of a scratchy dark t-shirt with a skirt and she was given dirty blue socks which had dark spots all over them and a type of pointed shoe.

“Mmrmrpmr!” She moan into her thick twisted cleavage gag as rope was tied over her arms, chest, thighs, shins and ankles and kept her securely bound to a sturdy brown chair.

“Morning your highness, I never thought you sleep a entire day.” Luctiana said with a giggle as she came walking in.

“Mrmrrm!” Tiffian moan at her demanding an answer.

“Awww, does the little spoiled queen want to know why she is tied up like a animal?” Luctiana asked as Tiffian nodded.

“You stole my boyfriend.” She bluntly said.

“Mrmprhm?” Tiffian grunted confused.

“Him!” Luctiana said holding up a picture of the hero that saved Tiffian.

“Mrhphmmm?” The queen moaned even more confused.

“I won’t harm you, I don’t hate you that badly. All you need to do is sit there and look good while I slip the hero this.” Luctiana said holding up a small vial of green liquid. “Once he drinks this he is all mine.” She said with a giggle. “Because he will only remember me from his journey.”

“Mrmprm! Hhphpm! Nnnmph!” The queen tried to say he would never drink such a thing.

“Oh he will drink this, after all were not alone here.” She said with a grin as she pointed off to the side which housed an egg covered in straw. “That is an extinct spider race egg, even though it won’t hatch, all I need to do is make him believe that it will and that it’s a very poisons spider.“ Luctiana explained as Tiffian struggled more. “I’ll just say drinking this will protect him and show him the fake egg shell I made up to make him believe it.”

“Mrmrprmrm!” Tiffian moan strongly into her gag.

“Enjoy yourself.” Luctiana said quickly leaving.

“Hrhrphrprmmm!” Tiffian grunted and struggled more as she had to get free.

----------

Tiffian had struggled for a few hours now, the ropes holding ever tight. Deciding to take a break she enjoyed the silence of the room compared to the sound annoying Orc dungeon she had to endure for weeks. Though a sound suddenly broke the silence as Tiffian looked on in horror at the egg that was actually hatching.

“Mrmrmrprmprmr!” Tiffian grunted loudly as she struggled and her struggles and sounds seem to make the egg hatch all that more quickly and out stepped a spider that was more than big enough to eat her and web her up tightly.

“Mmmmphpnn.” Tiffian moan as she shut her eyes, unable to bear looking at the dark creature as it made it’s way slowly over to her.

Once the spider made it’s way over to Tiffian, it was about to inject it’s venom into her body through her leg but before it could the hero arrived and quickly dispatched the creature making it cry out as it vanished into some small blue flames.

“Mmrmrpmr!” Tiffian moan happily as he cut her free with ease.

“Url!” Tiffian cried out happily as she hugged him.

“You okay?” He asked kissing her back.

“Yes, now that you’re here. But what happened to Luctiana?” She asked.

“She tried to feed me some mind control potion, but I got this item during my quest to save you that nulls that kind of stuff.”

“Well, good thing you did those extra dungeons huh?” She asked.

“You bet.” He said giving her another kiss as he carried her outside. Once outside Luctiana was on the ground hogtied with a thick cloth over her mouth and nose.

“Mrmromr!” Luctiana grunted at them giving Url a pleading look.

“Sorry, he’s taken.” Tiffian said with a wink as they walked away.

“Nrnrnrpnrprn!” Luctiana grunted swearing through her gag this was not the end. But unfortunately for her it was the end.

The end.
Here is my fantasy submission for :iconclassic-did: 's contest which you can read and still have time to join here: [link]

I plan to submit a Science fic in a few weeks for the contest as well.

For this story, overall I think it went well. Only problem I had was what the milk lady did once she had the queen. I hope you all found that part somewhat good.

As always, read, comment and fav.
