Be Careful What You Wish For- Just ask King Midas

Many years ago, in a kingdom across the sea,there  lived a very young and very foolish prince.

His name was Prince Georgie., son of King George Midas

The prince was  born with a silver spoon in his mouth. He  was  pampered and indulged by those responsible for his well being . When the Prince got into trouble, he learned that he could use his fathers wealth and  position to buy his way out of any difficulty.

The prince  soon lost touch with the realities of life, thinking that the obsequious servants that surrounded him were proof of his great importance.   

The wealthy , spoiled young prince, grew into an arrogant irresponsible young adult.  He drank alcahol, snorted cocaine, and spent much of his youth and well into his 30’s gambling and  chasing mindless debutantes.

When his father was elected president of the kingdom of Antarctica. prince Georgie realized that if he wanted to succeed his father as president , he would have to straighten out his act.

Georgie stopped doing drugs.

He joined the Royal Air Force reserves, however; he managed to evade active military duty in the “ War of the Penguins” by getting lost  on the way to the front. He arrived six months after the war ended.

He bought a professional Bobsled team with money that he borrowed from his father, then sold the team at a loss  so that he could invest in a company that manufactured ice.

The Ice Making Machine  company failed due to unfair competition from Mother Nature, and Prince Georgie was forced to move back home to live with his parents in the Royal White Ice House.

When his father lost the next election, Georgie was devastated.He was determined to stop at nothing, to avenge his fathers defeat.

Georgie heard about an evil magician who was feared and revered through out the land. His name was Roven the Wizzard.

Roven was reputed to have dark powers of deception and persuasion.

Prince Georgie decided to make a pilgrimage to the Dark Tower to see Roven the Magician . He intended to ask for a magic spell that would  help him become President of Antarctica.

” Oh Master Magician Karrell Roven, ” Said Prince Georgie, as he entered the magic tower. ” I would do anything to avenge my fathers defeat. ” He bowed low to the ground. ” Please help me to attain the rapture of victory.”

” You would do anything?” Rovens voice seemed to echo throughout the Hall.

” Oh yes master magician!” Exclaimed Prince Georgie as he prostated himself on the ground.” Make me all powerful so that I can attain the greatness which was denied to my honored father.”

The Magician looked at him for a long moment. ” So be it!,”  He exclaimed. ” Rise , young prince, rise and extend your right hand.”

The Prince did as he was told.

The magician took the Prince’s hand , held it in a tight grip, and with his right hand smashed his staff across the Prince’s knuckles .

” Yeow!!!” The Prince howled.” Ow..Ow,,Ow!!!”

” Stop whineing. Stop acting like a baby” The Magician glowered at him.”I will now cement the pact with a drop of your blood.”

“M My Blood” Georgie stammered.” Wh Why?”

” Don’t you know anything about black magic,” Grumbled Rovens,”These things are always sealed with blood.”

With that Rovens stabbed Georgies little finger with a long, very sharp pin.” Yeeeeowww!!!” Prince Georgie screamed, and he began to cry.

Rovens looked at him in disgust. ” Making you Presidential will be much harder than I thought.
