That was sweet. I've never read a fairy tale on mibba before... and yet, this being the first time, you pulled it off brilliantly. It was simple and centered around being a story rather than the confusing mess I see on here too, too often.
I like how you structured your sentences- keeping them simple and easy to read, not infesting them with words straight out of a thesaurus that a college professor wouldn't even know. Plus, the words are there to paint a picture and tell a story. What I really want to know is when stories became a way to get more stars and comments than a way to tell a tale, but when I read this, I totally forgot my grudge against modern online stories.
Don't even get me started on the historical aspect of this; I LOVE history, and the fact that you set the story in a foreign land in a foreign time makes me truly smile.
Wonderful job!
I also just finished that unit in Ancient Civs class, (I did the Han Dynasty how ever)
So I could also enjoy it with a bit of previous knowledge.
Well done :]
