In a far away land, long ago, lived a king and his fair queen. Many years they have longed for a child and finally, they're wish was granted.
A Daughter was born, and they called her, Aerith.
She brought sun shine into the king and queen's life. Then a great holiday was proclaimed throughout the kingdom, so that low or high estate might pay homage to the infant princess.
And our story begins, in that joyful day!
All of the kingdom celebrated the long awaited royal birth. The king and queen made welcome to they're life long friend, King Angeal Fair. With the sound of trumpets, he and his young son were announced.
"His royal highnesses, king Angeal, and prince Zack!"
They both bowed to the king and queen of Midgar.
Both kings had high hopes that they're kingdoms would unit, thus today they would announce that Zack, Angeal's son and heir would betrothed to the king of Midgar's daughter.
And so to her, his gift he brought, and looked unknowing to his future bride.
With another sound of the horn, a shining light came from the heavens.
"They're most honored Excellency, the three good fairies; Sir. Yazoo, sir. Loz, and mistress Kadaj!"
"I am a man! Get it right you idiot human!" yelled the blue fairy.
"That's what you get for wearing a dress!" said the red fairy as he rolled his eyes and crossed his arms.
"Oh shove it!" grunted the blue fairy.
"Ahem!" grunter the green fairy. "The princess awaits us." he added. They all rushed to the princess' crib and stared down at the young infant.
"Aw… the little darling!" said the red fairy as the all smile warmly. Then all three flew towards the king and queen.
"Your majesties!" all three of them said while bowing quickly.
"Each of us will bless the child with a single gift!' said the red fairy. "No more, no less." he added, and with that he approached the infant. "Little princess, my gift will be the gift of beauty." he said softly as he waves his wand and blessed the princess. With that, the red fairy pulls away so his brother may give the small princess his gift.
"Tiny princess… My gift shall be the gift of song!" he said in a loving tone as he waved his wand and blessed the child. Finally, it was the blue fairy's turn to bless the young princess with his gift, he flew towards her, fixed his tutu skirt and looks at the child.
"Sweet princess, my gift shall be-" before the blue fairy could finish, a strong wind blew furiously, opening the large doors to the castle's thrown room with a loud bang.
The king and queen stood, fear ran through they're face as they stared at the long figure entering the thrown room. Thunder roar as the man glares darkly at them.
"It's Sephiroth!" cried the green fairy.
"What does he want here!" shouted the blue fairy as he glared and the warlock. The red fairy hushed his brothers.
"Well, quite a glittering assemblage you have here my king!; royalty, nobility, and…" the warlock paused and laughed at the fairies. "Even the rabble…!"
"Oh no he did et!" yelled Kadaj as he through himself over to the warlock, thankfully, his brothers pulled him back and out of harms way.
"I felt quite distress at not getting an invitation!" said the warlock.
"You weren't wanted!" shouted the blue fairy. The warlocks eyes widen with anger, but the relaxed and chuckled lightly.
"Not wanted?-Oh my, what an awkward situation." said the warlock with a dark smirk. "Well in that event, I best be on my way!" he added while turning slightly.
"And your not offended your Excellency?" asked the queen. The warlock turn to the queen, his smirks widens.
"Why no your majesty!" he said calmly. "And to show I bear no ill will, I too shall bestow a gift on the child." he chuckles.
The room went silent, the Sephiroth spoke;
"Listen well! All of you!" he shouted. "The princess shall indeed grow in grace and beauty. Beloved by all who know her. But…" he paused. "Before the sun set on her sixteen birthday, she shall prick her finger on the spindle of a spinning wheel and die!"
"Oh no!" cried the queen as she ran to her beloved daughter and held her in her arms protectively as she stares at the warlock with fear. With a wicked laughter, the warlock disappeared into thin air. Leaving the king and queen frightened for they're daughter's life.
"Don't despair your majesties, Kadaj still has his gift to give!" cried the red fairy.
'Then she can un-do this fearful curse?" asked the king.
"I'm afraid my powers aren't as great as Sephiroth's, but I can help." said the blue fairy, flying over to the little princess in the queen's arms. "Sweet princess, if you are to prick your finger before your sixteen birth day by a spindle, you shall not die, but sleep, only to be awaken by true love's first kiss." and with those words, the blue fairy waves his wand and blesses the small princess with his gift.
The king still fearful for his daughter's life, decreed that every spinning wheel in the kingdom be burned!
Looking out the balcony, the red fairy grunts in frustration and flies to his brother.
"If they think a fire pit will stop Sephiroth's curse, then they are just wasting time!" he shouted.
"I'm sure that everything will be ok." said the green fairy.
"Yazoo is right, a fire pit wont stop Sephiroth." said the blue fairy.
"But what will?" the red fairy asked, mostly to himself as he rubs his chin and thought.
"That Sephiroth, I'd like to turn him into a chocobo bird so I cant kill it and eat it!" shouted the blue fairy.
"That isn't very nice Kadaj!" said the green fairy.
"And we cant do that either, our magic only works for good things." said the red fairy. "Wait… That's it!" he yelled.
"What is it Yazoo?" asked the green fairy.
"It's perfect, the old cottage in the forgotten city, the king and queen wont be too happy, but I'm sure they'll understand once I explain to them it's the only way!" the red fairy rambled.
"Explain what!" interrupted the blue fairy.
"About the three peasants, raising a founding child within the forest." he said happily and smiles.
"Well that's very nice of them" said the green fairy.
"Who are they?" asked the blue fairy.
"Us of course!" cheered the red Fairy with a very wide smile.
"Us! Take care of the baby!" said the green fairy in a happy and exited tone as he skips to his older brother.
"Wait a minute! Us?" asked the blue fairy in a troubled tone.
"Yes, why not!" said the red fairy. The green fairy squeals.
"I'd love that!" He cheered.
"B-but we have to wash and-"
"And feed her, play with her read her bedtime stories!" giggled the green fairy.
'Can we really do this?" asked the blue fairy.
"If humans can do it, the so can we!" said the red fairy with a positive tone and a high head.
"True, and we do have our magic to help us" mutters the blue fairy.
"No! Absolutely no magic!" shouted the red fairy.
"Are you crazy! Why the hell not!" cried the blue fairy.
"It will make it easier for Sephiroth to find us if we use any magic at all!" said the red fairy.
"Live as mortals for sixteen years!" yelled the blue fairy in a horrid tone.
'We'll all pitch in Kadaj, and its not the end of the world, now lets hurry and tell they're majesty!"
With that, the three fairies rushed to the king and queen, once they had explained everything, They both agreed… And so the king and queen watched with heavy hearts as they saw they're most priced position, they're only child, disappear into the night.
