Every story needs a villain. You should be grateful that it's me.

For they called me evil, but only because I refused to bow.

Once upon a time, there was a princess who thought the world would give her happily ever after.

How quaint.

You've been gone for so long - the princess of the northern reaches of Eldralore, cursed to fall into a sleep which you shall never awaken. Until true love's kiss, that is, or so they say. And while you slept, your kingdom fell into the hands of another - even your fiancee, the prince of another kingdom, forgot you completely.

No one ever came to save you.

So why, oh, why, did you wake from your dreams after all - to the kiss of the very fae who cursed you to begin with? Is it possibly the truth, that he's your true love after all?
