- Once upon a time in a land far, far away, a beautiful princess lived in a
- shining palace just on the edge of the Magic Wood. There she whiled away
- her days, speaking with the faeries, swimming in rainbows, and weaving
- dreams out of cotton candy. Her hair was gold -- real gold! -- and her
- dress was cut from a single moonbeam. Her best friend was a unicorn
- whose name was Hyperion, and she was betrothed to Prince Belvedere of the
- faraway land of Firedrake Forest. She was very happy, and loved all the
- creatures in her enchanted kingdom.
-
- Then, one day, the wicked sorceror Bartholemew was passing through the
- Wood on the winds of an Unpleasant Nightmare. He peeked through the
- windows of the shining palace and beheld the radiant princess, slumbering
- peacefully. "She is so good and beautiful," thought the horrid enchanter,
- "I must find a way to make her and all the forest creatures very unhappy."
-
- So he killed her.
