Me, The 13th Fairy-Prologue
Now, as we all know, in many a story of far far away , the Queen and the King would invite 12 fairies to a party, for example in Sleeping Beauty, a christening for the newborn princess. The plot is usually the same, all 12 fairies go "Muah muah muah" and "Oh! You're sooooo cute!" to the baby and then compliment the Queen and King.(Personally, I think they are just sweet talking them.) Then, they would start blessing the baby.
The first blesses forgiveness,
The second blesses love.
The third blesses the baby with Christ,
"…He's watching us from above."
The fourth blesses flawlessness,
The fifth blesses, "Be fearless."
The sixth blesses a kind heart,
A heart to none oppresses.
The seventh blesses the princess with
The skill of arrow and bow.
The eighth, ninth and tenth,
All bless for peace no sorrow.
The eleventh blesses a blissful life
Starting today not tomorrow.
When the twelfth steps up,
They hear a clap of thunder.
They look up with faces of horror,
The angry thirteenth fairy nearly curses her to death
But the twelfth turns it to 100 years of slumber.
And then the story goes on to talk about how it was the princess' 16th birthday and how she pricked her finger on a spinning wheel and then together with the rest of the castle falls into a super long sleep of 100 years.(Personally, I think that's a bit too exaggerating.)
And it goes on to say that 100 years later, a prince finds the castle and cuts through all the brambles and thorns and all those funny pokey plant thingies to get in. And I don't really know how he finds the princess but he just does so yeah and does all that mushy kissing stuff. After that, the whole palace wakes up with the princess and they celebrate and get married. The end. Just like that. But I think most people misinterpreted the significance of the 13th fairy. For one thing, the stories influenced kids to call her a witch, but she IS a fairy. And the 13th fairy's curse? A load of crap(Pardon moi). And yes there were 13 fairies, not three, six or seven. Or whatever number there is but I really don't care. For one thing, I would never, EVER have the heart to curse someone like that. And I would never, EVER be so stuck up until I try to kill someone because I'm not invited to a party. Especially a BABY SHOWER(ugh…they ARE quite boring). And yes, I am the 13th fairy. If the big, bad wolf can have a book on HIS side of the story on the Three Little Pigs, why can't I? So yeah, this is my story… …
