Catch the moonlight

Prologue to something I hope I'll be able to continue.

        There is a land, once hidden in the distant shadows of time, that now lies unveiled before me in all its mystery and magic. And in this land, there are many wonders.

        A princess sits walled up in her steel tower, wondering if she will ever be free, gazing into the distance, and giving messages to her guardian wolf to deliver to the outside world.

       There is a sly, wizened witch, who sits in her house on chicken feet, spinning webs for the unwary travelers that dare to venture into her forest.

      And there, in the heart of this untamed land, is an ageless oak, wrapped round with golden chains, and there is a gray-as-mist cat, walking up and down the chains.

     And once in a blue moon, he will tell a story.

     So here I sit in the dim, moonlit forest, listening, entranced, to this strange tale he spins. 

       

Author's Note

I based this beginning on a fairy tale by Pushkin, hopefully I will follow through with more chapters. Please review! :D

This is intriguing...the ending is absolutely perfect, although I realize that I'm not the only one to think so. I enjoy the idea of someone spinning a tale, I always have. It's just an interesting phrase. You should write more of this, it's good. Nicely penned.
Best regards,

I'll echo my friend Trish's words on this. You've got a very good setup, so please continue.

That was great, you hook people really well. I like how you pulled it all together in the end. I hope you write more; i'm interested on how all this plays together!

great scene setting done here, you have created the atmosphere well, it is immediately interesting. Very readable. You are clearly polished in your work, your talent comes through right away. Enjoyed.

I really liked the ending, I think maybe once you add another chapter and we learn more about the characters, then it will be even better.
