Tassunzel

Once upon a time, in a far, far away land called Nebraska, there lived a tassel princess named Tassunzel. She had been locked up in a tall thin and green tower ever since she was a little girl, for the evil Cornelius had trapped her in there so that she could never get away. She often wondered why Cornelius had locked her up in the tower, and one day she even found herself brave enough to ask Cornelius why he had done it, but he replied with a threat to turn Tassunzel into a Hangar, which was a tassel princess that was forced to hang on to the bricks of the tower with her own brute strength for the rest of her life. One day Tassunzel was pondering why he had locked her up there, as she often did through out the long, and dreary days, when all of the sudden she heard a loud, “THUMP!” Tassunzel thought that it was an earthquake and cried out to the, “Oh, Please Lord, let it take me! So that I may join You in Heaven and leave this miserable life.” But what Tassunzel did not know was that it was not an earthquake that had made the noise, but truly the thunderous footfalls Sir D.T. So Tassunzel closed her eyes and waited for fate to take her. And I can say she was solely surprised when she was pluck from her tower instead of plummeting to the earth. At first she was relieved to be free of her tower, but when she opened her eyes she stared into the face of a giant. “Ahhhh!” she screamed, “Put me down, foul beast!” “Shh! Calm down fair maiden, I may be taller and bigger than you are but I can assure you that I mean you no harm. And besides, you do not want to arouse the evil Cornelius. My name is Sir D.T. What is yours? Tassunzel stared at Sir D.T. Warily, but decided she could trust him, “My name is Tassunzel.” “Well, Tassunzel, how may I serve you?” Tassunzel was astounded. All of her life she looked for the answer of why she had been locked in that tower, and now it was being handed to her, “I… I heard you say some thing about Cornelius earlier,” she began, “do you know why he had me locked in that tower?” Sir D.T.’s face was solemn,”Cornelius is an evil plant, indeed, he has planed to take the power of pure hearts, which come from the tassel princesses, and instil it in his evil cornlings. The towers takes the power from you and sends it straight into the them. Then he plans to take over all of the corn fields in the land of Nebraska, so that he may become the King of Corn.” So, that’s why he had me locked up there.” Tassunzel muttered to herself. Sir D.T. Went to set Tassunzel down, ” I am sorry fair maiden, but I must leave now for their are many more princesses to save. You are free now, go, and do as you wish.” Sir D.T. Stood up to leave, but Tassunzel stopped him. “Wait! I want to come with you and aid you on your journey.” Sir D.T. kneeled down again, “It is a dangerous trek, with many a toils and hardships, but you may follow if it pleases you.” “Oh, it does!” cried Tassunzel, “It would be a great joy to accompany you.” “Very well.” Sir D.T. lifted Tassunzel up and slid her in to a slit in his pack as they set off on their adventure. . . . “So they are going to try and spoil my plans, are they?” said Cornelius to himself, “Well, I guess I will just have to make it harder for them then.” So Cornelius headed out to hide all of the tassel princess by curling the leave of their towers around them. Then he began digging trenches throughout the fields off towers, so that Sir D.T. and Tassunzel might be succumbed by their depths. But what Cornelius did not know was that by adding these dangers, it sparked Sir D.T.’s soul ever more to save the princesses and to persevere with Tassunzel until the very end. And so, Sir D.T. and Tassunzel began too recruit followers to save the tassel princesses, so that they could make a wider impact in the war. They called themselves NATS… But will Sir D.T.’s efforts prove futile? or will Cornelius’s plan ultimately fail? The choice is yours. Tassunzel= Tassel Sir D.T.= DeTassler Cornelius= Corn By Grant Rye
