In honor of the recent publication of my new series, The Legends of Surprisers, I'm starting this fun project. Whether you've read the books yet or not doesn't matter. All I'm asking is for webookers to write stories--long or short as you please--based on the series' prologue:

In honor of the recent publication of my new series, The Legends of Surprisers, I'm starting this fun project. Whether you've read the books yet or not doesn't matter. All I'm asking is for webookers to write stories--long or short as you please--based on the series' prologue:

“Long ago there were seven kingdoms which dwelt peacefully amongst each other: Anicleo, Labrini, Swala, Marineland, Arabis, Guedappleus, and Hyloria. But Labrini had always thought itself superior and wanted to rule over all the other kingdoms. Labrini stirred up strife amongst the other kingdoms until a great war ensued between them.
“Then, the three, great fairy sisters, Keren-Happuch, Jemimah, and Kezia, guardians of the seven kingdoms, appeared, declaring that if they were all going to continue fighting like wild animals, they would look like animals as well. So the fairies cast a spell upon the seven peoples, giving them animal-like features—fur, tails, and, depending on what animal they were, dog, cat, or bird faces.
“These animal-like people became known as ‘Surprisers’ to all who beheld them. For their appearance greatly surprised, and in many cases frightened, those whom the Surprisers came in contact with. It was said the spell would not be broken until the seven kingdoms were once more united in peace and harmony.”
Thus is how the Surprisers came to be.

So what kinds of legends would YOU write about the Surprisers?
If your story doesn't fit perfectly with the stories in the real series, don't worry.
After all, these stories are just legends, none of them true...right?  Less
