A Sleeping Beauty Story
Her arrival
It was a glorious day in the realm of Sparx & there was great rejoicing there. A beautiful baby princess was born to the king & queen of Sparx, Oritel & Mariam. They named her Bloom as she seemed to be blooming all the time.
Kings & queens from far & wide had come to see her. She was a great beauty. She had a fuzz of red hair & sapphire blue eyes. Everyone knew that her power was fire & she was the holder of the great dragon flame because as soon as she was born she was surrounded with fire, and to everyone's surprise they had seen a large dragon which was as red as fire enter her body.
At first everyone was surprised & scared but Mariam, Bloom's mother, calmed them down. She had read about the great dragon & its powers in a book in the huge library found in the castle of Sparx. She had read that the powers will one day be transferred from the dragon to a descendant from the royal family of Sparx. She had wondered whether Bloom was the lucky girl but the sight that she had seen confirmed what she had read.
Mariam also had one other daughter. Her name was Daphne. She was an eighteen year old nymph. She wasn't very strong or powerful as Bloom was expected to be. King Oritel had decided that since Bloom seemed stronger than Daphne, Bloom should become the queen when she is able to do so. Daphne was very pleased as she never had an interest in ruling a realm. She gratefully accepted the offer to be Bloom's personal body-guard.
