Hi there peeps! I know that I should be working on Antarctic Winds but I just got a script for our school production of Beauty and the Beast and I wanted to write a story based on that. Here is the character list just in case you get confused.
Prince/beast- Prussia
Old woman/enchantress- Hungary
Gaston- Russia
Lefou-China
Maurice-OOC Germany
Villagers-OCs
Silly Girl- Belarus
Cogsworth- England
Lumiere- France
Babette- Fem America
Mrs Pots- Belgium
Chip- Italy
Madame de la Grande Bouche- Ukraine
Servants- some OCs and some characters
Monsieur D'Arque- Japan
I may change some of the characters around but I'm not sure yet. I don't like using Germany for Maurice but I can't think of anyone else to use. I would love suggestions! Anyway, i hope you enjoy the prologue of this.
Once upon a time in a faraway land, a young prince lived in a shining castle. Although he had everything his heart desired, the prince was spoiled, selfish, unkind and arrogant. But then one winter's night, an old beggar woman came to the castle and offered him a single cornflower in return for shelter from the bitter cold. Repulsed by her haggard appearance, the prince sneered at the gift and turned the old woman away. But she warned him not to be deceived by appearances, for true beauty is found within.
But the prince dismissed her again, and the old woman's ugliness melted away to reveal a beautiful enchantress, with long brown hair and a flowing green dress. The prince tried to apologise, but it was too late, for she had seen that there was no love in his heart. As punishment, she transformed him into a hideous beast and placed a powerful curse on the castle and all who lived there. Ashamed of his monstrous appearance, the beast concealed himself inside his castle with a magic mirror as his only window to the outside world.
The cornflower she had offered was truly magical. If he could learn to love another and earn their love in return by the time the last petal fell, then the spell would be broken. If not… he would be doomed to remain a beast for all time. As the years passed, he fell into despair and lost all hope.
For who could ever learn to love a beast?
I know its short but i want to stick to the script as much as possible. Toodle pip darlings!
