As the prophecy foretold, a young prince, Eclipsis, was born from the curse cast by the dark fairy through her jealousy and hatred of the prosperous kingdom. The prince was born with unrivaled beauty and surpassed all expectations set for him, but it would not be a curse without consequences. Eclipsis was jealous and had an insatiable desire for praise and a thirst for validation. He was a smooth talker who stopped at nothing to get what he wanted, even if what he wanted was the blood and hearts of young maidens. The prince was a vampire, another side effect of the curse that he kept hidden behind closed doors, with only his parents, the king and queen, knowing it.

Eclipsis took all that he had for granted. He was never satisfied with what he had, so he set his sights higher, courting the dark fairy’s son who was enthralled by the prince’s charms, against his mother’s insistence on not associating himself with the prince. Eclipsis, completely disregarding his original intentions of just using him as a plaything, slowly fell for him, but not before committing infidelity without his knowledge. Actions which he regretted, as word of it reached the dark fairy’s son, he cursed the kingdom but targeted the prince for breaking his trust, and throwing Eclipsis into a deep slumber by pricking his finger on a spindle, dropping to the floor, as he and his kingdom are encapsulated in a casket of thorny roses for a century.

As they tried to get a better view of what they thought was a possibility dead (drop dead gorgeous?), human, they pricked their finger on a thorn while attempting to move a vine away and a single drop of blood trickled onto Eclipsis’ lips, waking him up from his long slumber.

“Are you…,” his eyes widened in surprise as the most unexpected words came out of the entitled prince’s mouth. “My… savior?”
