Once upon a time, three brother toads run through space.
They carry in their bellies three gemstones, as gifts for three princesses.
The Sky Toad carries a Ruby to reach the heart of the Princess of Ice.
The Spirit Toad carries an Amethyst to find Union with the Princess of Earth.
The Sun Toad carries a Jade to bring Peace and Safety to the Princess of Moon.
After a long trip, the Sun Toad arrives first at the Castle of Moon and offers the gemstone in his belly. The Princess of Moon loves the stone which surrounds her with tranquility, but she still sends back the toad, as he shines too bright and gives her terrible headaches.

The Spirit Toad gets second after an exhausting travel through unknown lands. The power of the Amethyst is strong, as it carries blue and red and can create what doesn’t exist. The Princess of Earth thinks she loves him and keeps the toad as her husband, even if their love, effectively, cannot survive far from the magic of the gem. You can be a fool and love your opposite, but with time, will it grow better?
The Sky Toad, finally, lands in the Country of Ice. The Princess hates him first, because she doesn’t understand the magic of the red stone, brutal and exciting. But she is intrigued, so she waits. With time, little by little, she starts enjoying the Ruby. It’s useful to light fires, she doesn’t catch colds anymore… She feels something new, which is Passion. She is thankful to the Sky Toad, marries him, and populates her kingdom with creatures of all different kinds of feelings.
Morale: She can look like ice, but she is HOT!
When you love, you can only bring what you already have, and receive what may open you.
When you love, you must be patient.
When you love, you must accept.
Be patient, accept, forgive, forget.
Forgive.
Forget.
Love isn’t perfect, but it’s what you need the most…
It’s worth crawling, being humble, and battling against your nature.
It’s worth everything, even suffering more than usual. Anyway, your life is boring, so…
Take a gem, find a princess…
Once upon a time, a…
