Prince Rashar spent his days riding alone across his kingdom. One morning, he entered a strange forest. A parrot landed on a tree above him. “Who are you?” asked the parrot. “I am Prince Rashar,” said the prince. “You can talk?” “Saledra gave me this power,” the parrot replied. “She wished for someone to talk to.” “Who is Saledra?” asked the prince. “Saledra is a beautiful and kind princess,” said the parrot. “She is also very lonely.” “I would like to meet this princess,” said the prince. “You can’t,” said the bird. “She lives too far away.”
