The sun was setting over the kingdom of Zaria, and the people were preparing for the night. As they were doing so, a strange figure appeared in the sky. It was a woman, dressed in a long black robe and a pointed hat. She flew down from the sky and landed in the middle of the town square.
The people of Zaria were terrified. They had never seen anything like this before. The woman spoke in a deep, raspy voice.
"I am the Witch of Zaria. I have come to curse this kingdom. Unless the lost queen of Zaria is found, the kingdom will suffer a great misfortune. You must find her and bring her back to the kingdom or all will be lost."
The people of Zaria were horrified. They had no idea where the lost queen was or how to find her. But they knew they had to do something.
The next day, the people of Zaria began searching for the lost queen. They searched high and low, but they could not find her. Finally, after weeks of searching, they found her.
The queen had been living in a small village on the outskirts of the kingdom. She had been living in hiding, afraid of the witch's curse. But when the people of Zaria found her, she was relieved. She was brought back to the kingdom and the curse was lifted.
The people of Zaria were overjoyed. They celebrated the return of their queen and thanked the gods for their good fortune. From then on, the kingdom of Zaria was safe and prosperous.
