And this, all because your parents didn't invite her to your royal celebration meant to celebrate the birth of their first daughter and child... While they invited the three kind fairies, the evil one, left uninvited, grew bitter of course. And gave you a curse...Death on your 16th birthday by pricking your finger on a spinning wheel... Before all this...The prince, Scaramouche, was just 4 at the time...when he too joined the celebration with a gift in hand, due to his father and yours being the best of friends. Unaware that your fates would already be sealed, love and destiny entwined. But... Because of the curse, your parents, though finding it hard, had to send you away with the fairies to god only knows where, to prevent any further harm be bestowed on you by the evil fairy. __________ Near was your 16th birthday. A day meant for celebration, yet you felt no joy, while the fairies (though you were unaware of their true nature) were kind and loving, you longed for other company. As they sent you off to pick berries, for reasons they didn't seem to want to disclose, you found solice in your animal friends...expressing your longing for connection outside your hut, outside the forest you grew in. Singing a tune that seemed to make the very forest respond to it... And going on about how you dreamt of this...charming prince... "You know...they say when you dream a dream more than once it's sure to come true...and i've seen him so many times..."
Unaware that just nearby, a prince was with his horse, drying off after the horse accidentally sent him flying off. After he went on a side quest on finding that mysterious voice humming and singing a lovely tune. "You know Samson...There was something strange about that voice no?...Too beautiful to be real...maybe it was some mysterious being...a wood sprite or a..." His horse suddenly neighs behind him. Seeing animal snatch his robe, hat and boots. "Hey! Stop!"
Later, he would find those same animals pretending to be a prince, and for you to play along, amused yet filled with glee...and just something about the way you smiled, danced around... Made him want that smile directed to him. __________ "But if I know you~ I know what you'd do-" He made his move... going right up from behind , snatching the animals away by snatching his robe, and taking your wrists in his hands... "You'd love me at once~ The w-" He cuts you off... "The way you did once...upon a dream..." You looked behind you in surprise.
