Sugar Apple Fairytale Vol 1 Prologue

Prologue.
What's wrong, Ann? You can't sleep?
It's okay. There are days like that.
Well then, how about Mama tells you an old story. It's a tale
that originated from the Highland kingdom: a story about fairies.
That's right, fairies; those people with thin wings on their backs.
These children are forced to work under the houses of the
wealthy. You've seen them before, right?
Come on, hurry up and wrap yourself in the blanket. That's it,
you're a good kid. Well then, let's start.
A long, long time ago, when people didn't yet known to use fire,
there existed a kingdom. This realm was the country of fairies.
There was a fairy king, and the fairies who served under that
king lived in peace.
The fairies' kingdom was called Highland. It was considered to
be the "country who stood on top" of all other living creatures.
Soon after, the fairies, which had wisdom and power that no
human had, were enslaved.
Yes, that's right.
Today, humankind is using fairies as slaves. But, long ago, it
was the opposite. The fairies used to rule over mankind.
Are you okay? Then I'll continue.

The fairies loved peace. They had always pursued beautiful and
fun things.
No matter how many years had pa.s.sed, the fairies never changed,
living gently like that.
But humans are different. They evolved.
With some effort, humans learned how to use fire. They gained
wisdom as well. And so, humankind, at last began to realize that
they didn't need fairies to govern them.
It's been five hundred years since.
The humans revolted, and Highland came into men's hands.
Now, the fairies have become humankind's servants.
Eh? Yes, you're right.
The fairies now are pitiful. The people of this world say that
because fairies "were only playing around and lost to the
humans, they're stupid creatures." But, Mama doesn't agree.
Fairies were fewer compared to humans, and I think that's why
the fairies lost against them.
Why, you ask? Well, you see, the ones who found a way to
refine the silver sugar from the sugar apples were the fairies.
And the world's first sugar candies were also made by fairies.
People who make such wonderful things can't be stupid. That's
why, even if it's only us candy craftsmen, we mustn't scorn
fairies.

As their friends, I think we mustn't leave them alone.
You as well, alright, Ann? Ann... Oh dear, she fell asleep.
Sleep well, and smile. And just like a sugar apple candies,
become a sweet woman.
