The Greatest Story Ever Told

Chapter 1
Once upon a time, there lived a boy.
This boy lived in a city, the city of the lion.
He lived with three monsters.
Their names were Pride, Sloth and Fear.
These monsters lived within the boy's heart.
One day, the boy's group of friends invited this boy to a grand event.
Dragon Knights from all over the world were coming together.
Almost the whole of the Lion City turned up.
As the boy was walking through the crowd, he saw a girl.
To the boy, the girl was the most beautiful girl he had ever seen.
This girl was Princess of the Lion City.
This girl was also a friend to one of the boy's party.
Introductions were made and their eyes met.
Sparks flew from the beginning and a conversation started.
They spoke from when they met, up until they had to part for that day.
For the following months, the boy was too scared to send a message to the Princess.
The boy was afraid, he was afraid of rejection.
Months later, at the church, the Princess and the boy met up through serendipity and decided to go out.
The boy had recently been drafted into the local militia, and thus only had the weekends with which were his.
Throughout the week, Messangers pigeons streamed between the Princess' palace and the boy's milita camp. A relationship was forming in that time. Slowly the boy's fear of rejection was laid to rest.
When the weekend came, plans that were laid throughout the week came to fruition.
The relationship that was building came to a climax. On that fateful Saturday, Questions deep within the heart of both the boy and Princess were answer with a sign from the heavens.
Their fate became sealed on that day.
The boy had become a prince. And they spent their days together in joy and happiness.
Unknown to the boy, that whilst all this was happening, the 3 monsters that lived in the boy were plotting on how to take over the boy's life. They spent their days growing stronger and stronger, deep within the reaches of the boy's heart.
A day came, whilst the boy was sleeping,the monsters took control of the boy, locking him away in a maze deep within his heart. The boy had never realized the change. having gotten used to the monsters growing within him. Slowly the boy started taking the Princess for granted. Slowly started to ruin the couples happiness.
The Princess' friends shouted to her, and warned her of the 3 monsters that had taken over the boy. But the Princess loved the boy so much that she stuck by him, determined to stop the growth of the monsters. Determined to remove the monsters from the boy. Alas, the boy was unable to do anything, having been locked away in a prison maze so deep in his heart that he had found no was out.
The Princess tried and tried, never giving up, until one day, she cracked through the armour of the monsters and rescued the boy. Alas, it was too late. Too much damage was done and too much hurt inflicted upon the princess caused her to turn her back away from him.
The boy having seen the error of his ways, started a quest to remove the demons from his heart. Thus putting on the armour crafted by the Princess herself, he set off into the wilderness to pursue his goals.
The Princess having been hurt too much, left the Lion City for a distant land, to the City of Churches.
Will there be a chapter 2?
The story is a true story, one that is still being written as we speak....
