A newlywed couple (Amlan/Ezzy) stumbled upon a dark castle in Europe and decided to wander inside, naively thinking that the residents just might be hospitable/friendly/religious.

AMLAN: I've been writing political cartoons so long that I've grown weary with democracy-rhetoric and need this trip!

EZZY: I trust darling Amlan and know that if he thinks this 'blue castle' is worth magazine-photos, then media will capture.

The fresh idealist-couple from Northern Ireland wandered inside this European 'blue castle' since the giant door was unlocked and immediately took hold of the breadth and designs of its immaculate ornate formalism and took iPhone-shots of its heavenly presences.

QUEEN: I see you two are certainly 'fun' newlyweds who've discovered this isolated castle and seek 'magic' for your journey!

This 'Queen' they met inside the castle in Europe was named Malice, and she joked her humorous name was something of a 'heritage-language' derived alias for the aesthetics of complexity and not evil. They remarked she looked very stunning, and she led them to her dungeon in that blue-castle in Europe and revealed she'd kept a human man-slave, an ex-football star named Jim Everett.

QUEEN: I want you two (Amlan/Ezzy) to put on these special masks/costumes of a thespian-thief and rabbit-woman (now!).

AMLAN/EZZY: We shall do your bidding, mighty 'empress' of enchanting immortal hypnosis in this immaculate blue castle!

Then, Amlan, sensing he and her darling (Ezzy) were now hostages of darkness, grabbed his glass-blue marbles from his pocket and showcased them to the 'evil' Queen Malice, suggesting to her, "Ezzy and I shall play with these glass-blue spheres-balls on your castle-floor and you might enjoy the way they roll around in unison as we synchronize their motions/dynamics with our palms...and you'll find that we're but two newlyweds seeking the simple humility of 'tourist' distance(s)...and deserve liberty, Malice!"

QUEEN: Alright, I'll let you two 'dancers' free from this castle-keep, but you take photos of my Arctic-slide toy for Facebook!

Years later, Amlan/Ezzy retreated to Brussels and settled into a cottage where they had a darling-daughter (Scheherazade) whom they treated as a 'magic' princess of storytelling and taught her the great fables of heroics/comics, particularly the space-hopping musketeer known simply as 'Flash Gordon' (whom the darling Scheherazade grew to admire as a 'calendar-baby' of modern civilization youth-drywall(s)).
