Once upon a time in a special place called the Enchanted Forest where time actually lasts forever, a bandit named Snow White lived not quite so happily, and one day she had to attempt to pay off the pirate (yes I said pirate) Blackbeard, for passage out of the forest because she is a Princess and her evil stepmother, Regina, (at the time, she was called the Evil Queen) wanted to kill her because it was said that Snow would find a Prince Charming, and that their child, a product of True Love, and the born Savior, would defeat her magic because she uses Dark magic, and all magic that comes from good forces, otherwise known as Light or White magic can defeat Dark magic, and she didn't want to be defeated by someone whose mother she hated. Regina hated Snow because Snow literally cannot keep a secret, especially the important ones, like the fact that Regina didn't love king Leopold, and when Snow was even younger, she told on Regina about her secret relationship with a peasant named Daniel, and Regina's even more evil-er mother, Cora quite literally ripped his heart out and crushed it with her fist. Now back to the part of where she had to find a way to pay off Blackbeard…he told her that if she could steal a ring for him, he would allow her passage and discretion out of the Enchanted Forest. She then agreed to do it so long as he swore on his dirty pirate life, that if he didn't allow her safe passage after she stole the ring for him, that she had free permissions to kill him. She then decided to first steal a horse so that she could get away quickly from the soon-to-be prince's army, because she thought that surely he would be sending the knights after her once he found the ring missing.
