WW LXI: Grimm Tales

Once upon a time in a glorious land far, far away there was a village. It was surrounded by glorious mountains, and valleys, and rivers, and forests, and of course numerous castles with motes and dungeons and other such lovely things. It was a peaceful land where everyone usually lived happily long lives. Except that there was an evil Queen. She had married the King long ago after his first wife had died, and now the King himself had just passed in a mysterious hunting accident. There was only one thing standing in her way. The King had a son, Prince Philip, who would become King and take the throne if he found himself a worthy young Lady to marry. If he didn’t marry by his 21st birthday the evil Queen would ascend to the throne and all the land would be doomed to be her slaves.

But there was hope. There was a young Lady named Rosamond who resided in a small castle on a large hill in the middle of our little village. She was destined to be the one true love of Prince Philip, all he would have to do would be to travel to the little village and take her as his bride.

Of course it’s never that easy. The evil Queen disguised herself as an ugly black cat and snuck into Rosamond’s castle. She crept up into one of the highest towers and put a spell on a spinning wheel that, with only a prick of the finger, would cause the young Lady to fall into a deep sleep and never wake up. The evil Queen did not know however that Rosamond had a Fairy Godmother who saw the Queen enter the room. The Fairy Godmother was not able to destroy the spell but she did change it so that Rosamond would awake if she was kissed by her one true love.

3 days later one of Rosamond’s servants (and closest friend), Wilwarin, found her lying on the floor deeply asleep beside the spinning wheel. The Fairy Godmother appeared beside her and instructed her to write a letter to the village. In the evening Wilwarin walked sadly down to the small village in hopes of warning them of the great danger that they faced.
