This is the story of how i died...
Don't worry! This is actually a very fun story, truth is, it isn't even mine. This is a story of a girl named Sapphire, and it starts with the moon.
Now, Once upon a time a single drop of moonlight fell from the night sky, and from this small drop of moon grew a magic blue flower. It had the ability to heal the sick and injured. The flowers worth drew attention to those who desperately needed it.
Centuries passed and a hot skip and a boat ride away lay a large kingdom. The kingdom was ruled by the beloved king and queen. And the queen , well, she was about to have a baby but she got sick...really sick. She was running out of time and that's when people usually start to look for a miracle, well in this case, a magic blue flower.
Though, there was one old woman that hid the flower. So, instead of sharing the moons gift, she hoarded the flowers healing power and used it to keep herself young and beautiful for hundreds of years. And all she had to do was sing a special song..
"Flower, gleam and glow,let your power shine,make the clock reverse, bring back what once was mine...what once was mine..."
This song would make the moon flower glow a beautiful blue.
Alright, you get the gist. She sings to it then she turns young. Creepy , right?
The kingdoms search led them to the flower, they took the flower out of the ground and made it into a healing soup to give to the queen.
The magic of the Bright blue flower healed the queen.
A healthy baby girl! A princess was born with beautiful pale blue hair. i will give you a hint, Thats Sapphire. To celebrate her birth, the king and queen launched a flying lantern into the sky. And for that one moment, everything was perfect.
And then..that moment ended. As the night fell and grew old, the old woman that hid the magic flower broke into the castle and into Sapphires room where the young girl was sleeping. The old woman made her way to Sapphire and sang silently.
"Flower, gleam and glow, let your power shine, make the clock reverse, bring back what once was mine...what once was mine."
Sapphires hair began to glow, a stream of light and a glistening glow ran through her hair as the song was sang to her.
The old woman gently grabbed scissors from the back pocket of her robe and cut off a small lump of the hair under the few top layers.
But when she cut it, the long strand turned a dark almost black blue color. Sapphires hair lost the shine and the hair that wasn't cut went back to its normal light blue.
Sapphire woke up and began crying. The queen and king woke up.
The old woman broke in, stole the young girl and just like that, gone. The kingdom searched and searched but they could not find the princess.
For they lived in a forest in a hidden tower the old woman, Jasper, raised the child as her own. Jasper had found her new magic flower, but this time, she was determined to keep it hidden.
"Why can't i go outside?" Came the young innocent voice.
"The outside world is a dangerous place, full of horrible selfish people, you must stay here, where you are safe, do you understand my flower?" jasper said, while gently brushing through Sapphires long long hair.
"Yes mommy..."
But the walls of that tower could not hide everything. Each year on her birthday the king and queen would release thousands of lanterns in the night sky in hope that one day, their lost princess would return...
