THE TRIANGLE COMMUNITY

Once upon a time there were three kingdoms, The Clockwork Kingdom, The Iris Kingdom, and The Crystal Kingdom. These three kingdoms lived peacefully together in a place they called the Triangle Community. Each kingdom was placed upon opposite points of a large triangle, joining together in the center to form The Marketplace where vendors from each of the kingdoms would gather to sell their various goods.

The three kingdoms all specialized in the production of their own specific goods. From The Clockwork Kingdom came things of invention such as mechanical men, clocks, and things made with iron and industry. It had a wall of gears surrounding it with a gear gate and clockwork men standing guard.

The Crystal Kingdom thrived on the production of gems and beauty products. Anything that would perfect the beauty of the people within the Triangle Community always came from The Crystal Kingdom. Hair care products, mirrors, jewelry, makeup, and more were created within the sparkling crystal buildings that abounded within the silver walls of the kingdom. The golden gate of the kingdom reflected its beauty, topped with a golden tiara sparkling with sapphires.

Possibly the most important of the kingdoms though was The Iris Kingdom. That is where our story takes place. It is also where the people of the Triangle Community found their food and water. In that kingdom, the fruits, vegetables, and livestock were cared for, providing food for all the kingdoms. The natural beauty of the land was unsurpassed by either of the other kingdoms as it was surrounded by vast fields of wildflowers. The Clockwork Kingdom had provided a metal wall designed with intricate scrollwork of irises and leaves which wove together providing the protective barrier. Amid the flowers and leaves of the wall, The Clockwork Kingdom had designed mechanical butterflies which fluttered their wings in the breeze. The gate that graced the wall was gold with thousands of fluttering butterflies. The Crystal Kingdom had also donated a portion of The Iris Kingdom’s barrier, a crystal dome which arched over the kingdom creating the perfect greenhouse for the kingdom’s produce.

A PRINCE AND 3 PRINCESSES

All was bright and peaceful within the Triangle Community, everyone working together to make the Community prosper. Each of the kingdoms was blessed with a prince or princess who would one day grow up to take over their respective kingdom from their parents.

The Clockwork Kingdom had the only prince, a young boy named Jack. He was tall and lanky with brown hair and green eyes, an average prince with the average looks.

The Crystal Kingdom boasted of their Princess Cleo who was born a year after Jack. She was a dazzling beauty with long black hair and violet eyes who looked to be as statuesque as her mother the queen.

Merely a year following the birth of Cleo, The Iris Kingdom celebrated the birth of Petunia, a girl with incomparable beauty inside and out. Her sleek curls as dark as night fell to her waist, the sparkle of her dazzling blue eyes twinkling like ice. No other was as kind or caring as Petunia who loved and doted on the people and flowers alike.

The Iris Kingdom was the only kingdom in the Triangle Community who had the
