Name: Acromantula

How does it look: An Acromantula is an extremely hairy and enormous spider that has 8 eyes and 8 legs.

What special power does it have : It can move any way it likes and it can even hypnotize people, animals and magical creatures.   

Once there was a prince who travelled all over the world looking for a princess to marry. Even though there were a lot of princesses willing to marry, the prince found none of them to be fit to be his wife.

One dark stormy night, a girl drenched from head to toe knocked on the palace gate. She claimed to be a princess and requested if she could stay for the night. The prince immediately agreed and let her stay, but the queen didn’t look happy at all. 

Next morning when the palace maid was cleaning up the guest room where the princess was staying, she found a wig and a mask that looked like the princess. Just then a man in woman’s clothes came out of the bath. The palace maid was shocked and ran to the prince and told him what she had found out.

At once the prince called all his guards to take the man to the dungeons. The prince thanked the palace maid and in a few days time he became friends with her. The prince realised that he did not need a princess- he just needed a friend who could also be his wife. The prince married the palace maid and they both lived happily ever after.

The End 

But one night something happened that changed everything. There was a girl at the door who claimed to be a Princess and wanted to come inside. But she didn’t  look like a real Princess. Her clothes were wet thanks to the rain and water streamed into her shoes. The Queen summoned her royal guards to examine the Princess and to see if she was a real Princess. “Ten straight toes?” Check! “Good table manners?” Check! After all that examination the royal guards found the Queen and exclaimed,”Your Highness, this Princess is fit for the Prince”. The Queen ordered the royal butler to organise a wedding date. “By next weened”, the Queen commanded. “But your Highness...”. “No arguments!!! I want a wedding date secured by next weekend!!!”, the Queen yelped. “Yes your Highness. I’ll ensure a wedding date is secured by next weekend”, the butler scurried out the room and the Queen breathed a sigh of relief. For the next week all the Prince could talk about was his wedding. In fact he was chattering about his wedding SO MUCH the Queen requested, sorry, COMMANDED the butler to get her a pair of earbuds.

 

Finally the big day had arrived. The ceremonies went on and on until it was time for the main event. “Prince! Oh Prince!!! It’s now time for the main event!” The Queen’s voice rang through the crowd. “Prince! Where are you?”, the Queen called again. “Prince!!!”, she thundered. “If you don’t come out right now I am going to CANCEL THE WEDDING!!!” Everybody began to scratch their heads and wondered where the Prince could have gone. Suddenly a tiny man appeared. “I am Therder Mago Funkus”, the man shrieked. “I’ve kidnapped the Prince and I’m going to destroy the castle!”, he screamed. “Oh no you won’t!”, the Queen hissed. “Oh yes I will!”, the strange man screamed and with that he picked up his walking stick and began to destroy everything with its powerful laser beam. Everybody ran for cover except for one person. The Princess! Therder Mago Funkus noticed her and said, “Oh so you are the Prince’s fiancée, huh? Well this is great! You could hold information about the royal family to aid me in my battle”, he said grabbing his stick. “I think I will hypnotise you with my stick to get that information”. In one swift movement the hypno-ray escaped his stick. The Princess quickly reflected it with a mirror. He was now in control of the Princess! She ordered him to release the Prince and walk into a jail. “As you wish”, he responded. Soon the Prince was released and the ceremonies continued. They both got married and lived happily ever after. 

       The End.
