Long ago, in the outskirts of a Norwegian Land, a dandelion blossomed. Away from crowd and population, an Empire of Themiscara was breathing its last breath. The last reigning monarch Edward Julius ||| passed away in the presence of his close kins. The monarch had no male heir to continue his legacy. His niece was supposed to be on the throne. But before the procedure of coronation could begin, the monarch had passed away. He was the last reigning monarch of his era. Jonathan Edward Julius was the predecessor of Edward Julius, the third (III). He had died of pulmonary disease at the age of 120. It is believed that no male heir was born after the death of Henry Jonathan Julius, youngest brother of Edward Julius, the third (III). He died under mysterious circumstances. The investigation had revealed the traces of dandelion leaves in his fingers after he (Henry Jonathan Julius ) had died.

It is believed that the Themiscaraian Empire was built on the ruins of the Dandelion Town where the elves lived. The elves were believed to be peaceful creatures who minded their businesses until their land full of jewels were illegally mined by their neighbouring kingdom. The neighbouring kingdom annexed the elves territory in their land. The angry Elves and the neighbouring kingdom of Black knights fought with one another. Blood was shed from both sides. The elves had killed the Crown Prince of the Kingdom Black Knights. The Angry battalion of the Kingdom Black Knight slaughtered and captured the female and children of the Dandelion Town where the Elves lived in revenge. Seeing this mass scale destruction in both the lands, a mutual party came in between the Dandelion Town and Black Knights who tried to act as a buffer between the two. The third party was the Themiscarian Empire. The third party tried to lessen the rift between both estranged parties. The relation between the three of them improved significantly. And in the process, both these Parties Dandelion Town and Black Knights signed an agreement of peace in the Themicarian Kingdom, in the presence of Monarch Jonathan Edward Julius.

The relationship between all three kingdoms improved significantly. For, Two centuries, the relation between the Elves and Black Knights started deteriorating once again over the access to mines. Fearing another, War The Themiscarian King, called both the parties in his kingdom and wanted both of them to resolve their differences in presence of the King Jonathan Edward Julius.

The Black Knights were not happy when the Monarch sided with the elves Town and told him to return Elves territorial land. They planned to Kill the Themiscarian King on the night of the meeting with Elves of Dandelion Town.

King Jonathan was killed by the assassin of Black Knights and the blame was put on the elves of the Dandelion Town when the Dandelion leaves were found in the Fingers of King Jonathan. This angered the Theimeiscaran Empire and the whole town was wiped out by Edward Julius, the third so did the Elves. The Black Knights were satisfied with the turn of events and tried to trigger the Theimeiscarians, every now and then. Later in an investigation, it was revealed that king Jonathan died of pulmonary failure when traces of poisonous fluid was found in his system. The Black knights couldn’t overpower the Theimiscarians and the need for mines decreased as their influence in that neighbouring region. The Themeiscarians subdued the Black Knights completely and their power and influence decreased in comparison to the Theimeiscarian. And the land of Black Knights came under Theimeiscrian. The Themiscarian increased their territory and included Dandelion Town in it.

The vast Empire saw a decrease in the male population after Elves Town became a part of the empire. It is believed that the Elves put a curse on those people who killed the species of elves by cursing their land.

The elves had cursed the males of theimeiscarian Empire who had committed atrocities towards them. The curse would start with killing the royal males of the empire and would end with the blooming of new Dandelion flowers — indicating A reign has ended and a new reign would begin.

The niece of Julius Edward, the Third, and daughter of Henry Jonathan Julius, Princess Julia Edward Thomas was crowned as the heir to the throne after the death of her Uncle.

The Dandelion Flowers swayed along with the winds as if they were dancing merrily and showering love to the chosen heir — Julia Edward Thomas. After her coronation, peace was established in the neighbouring empire and all other regions.

Now, this tale is told to kids and youngsters.

The End.
