Far, far away there is a promising place, a magical land, in which there lived at that time a most ideal family. Aleif is the father and keeper of the crop, a farmer by trade, consumer of exploration, and connoisseur of adventure. His beautiful wife Ally has gone great lengths to the purchase, beyond reasonable strengths to be with her person of choice. These two loved one another dearly, and thought life couldn't be better, that the world was at their fingertips. Until one midday an unbearable late spring heat hit their countryside beating their backs and socking the crops, devastating the cultivation as a sudden suffocating dust storm. Soon after this rich land has been stricken by drought, abhorring any attempt at agriculture. The espoused sought out water and for new places, their thirst together was too precipitous. For seven days they traveled, from the vastest valley's unmapped grounds to the highest mountain peaks around, and they found within no nook not one such brook. Then, on the eighth day, they gave up. They lost hope, they thought this was a new age, a blank page, but no dice. Instead they missed their dreams, lost their magic touch, as if they never even took any ink and put it between their life story's seams. They think and together outrage at their wisdom of the world's cruel rules as if they couldn't escape the sincerity of vulgarity. Then one day they saw true with clarity that they would go somewhere never thought of before, to leave for nowhere. They're stuck chasing a destiny, somewhere, but then together losing it in that decisive moment they realized that their destiny isn't somewhere else. It's right here and now, put it not nowhere but now here. Their last path has come to pass because it's not where you're going but who you're with. Tender footed knaves chasing one another through the woods in romantic escapades. And they verily loved one another. Then, in no time on their deserted path they stumbled an oasis, paradise to most pairs of eyes. It's greenery goodly glares of divinity and streams' soothing sound lends the sight sublimity. Down to the river they went to quell their thirst, for a quench here to stay and the stench washed away. While washing themselves...uh huh

Then what happens? (Spoilers):
-Aleif and Ally celebrate their providence and procreate, they then try on and make fun of one another's garments
-Ally the faithful dies (some time) after her baby is born, who is called Lance/Girl
-Aleif, her loving and honorable husband, becomes bitter with the world although he has a new son to raise, who he raises well and teaches him all the tricks of the trade
-Aleif mourns until he meets a spellbinding and vulturous woman, called Morgan the mage, whose plumage is too pretty to see clearly through her deceit. Once Lance/Girl has come of age Morgan gives him a cup made of glass and riddled with holes as a sieve. Lance asks his stepmother of this nonsense, and she bids him that he leave and not come back unless he brings a girl or a cup full of...his tears?...She then casts him out.
-On his quest Lance is stricken with the same bad luck on the road and concedes as his parents once did, then he comes upon a castle. Inside he is asked to stay by the maiden who Lance thinks may be a princess. Luckily he brought a pea with him to test and see if she's a princess knowing good and well that their royal kind are sensitive to even the slightest of uncomfortable sleeping conditions.
-She can't sleep well, and he knows so good and well. He asks for her hand, and she accepts.
-They return to his father's land.
