Once upon a time, there was a kingdom ruled by an evil king.
One day the king made a pact with a demon to ensure all his people would be as mindless animals that follow him.
And so that happened, over the course of a single night, every person in the kingdom became an animal of a different species.
Every person except for Milly, a young girl of a small town in the kingdom.
Milly's parents transformed into a Cow and a Parrot. Milly's little siblings became a dog and a cat.
Milly cried and cried on her mother's fat side as her beloved little brother and sister kept fighting.
Milly's father, a retired guard, still kept his gift of speech, and so gave her comforting words.
"You are our only hope, Milly. Take my old sword in our basement, and go forth to the evil kings castle to undo this curse." The colorful bird said.
Milly has always been a timid girl that spent all her free time reading books, but the thought of going on a grand adventure like in her fantasies filled her with determination.
So Milly, full of excitement, did just as her father said, and set off on her quest.
