Once upon a time in the enchanted forest, a group of caravans was making it's way to the next town. These caravans belong to a group of gypsies. Gypsies are traveling folks who travel from town to town telling fortunes and playing music. They also love to dance during the night. They are not very popular with some of the townspeople, often mistaken them for thieves and swindlers. But that didn't stop them from traveling the world. Riding in the main caravan is a lovely couple. The man, who was in his late 30s, has a strong build. His flawless skin is ebony, his spiky hair is jet black and his eyes are blue. His clothing is his Gypsy leader outfit. Laying on his shoulder is his beautiful wife, who is slightly younger than him. Her skin is ebony, her beautiful long hair is blonde, and her eyes are amber. Her clothing is a standard female Gypsy outfit. "Leon, my love. When do you want to try again? I want to bear our child for you," said his wife while wrapping he arms around him. "Maria. I know you want to try again but we couldn't make a child. We've tried many times, even after our wedding night, but we couldn't," said Leon. She looks down and said "I know, Leon. But I really want a baby so we can love and care. It's just…I wish we have a baby." "I know, my love. Once we camp out for the night, then we can try again," said Leon as he kisses her softly. She kisses him back and smile. Even though they are a happy couple, they could never have a child. They have been trying for many moons, but had no luck. But unknown to them, a mysterious figure was about to make their wish come true…for a price.
Nighttime has come to the enchanted forest. The caravans has circle themselves around the campfire. All the gypsies gather around to talk about past events and techniques that they learned over the years. While they are doing that, Leon and Maria sneak away to a more secluded place of the forest so that they won't be disturbed. She was blushing up a storm as she was kissing his neck softly, showing her desire for the man she fallen in love with. They made it to a small lake and Leon looks at her with love in his eyes. "Ready to try again, my love?" asked Leon in a soft voice. "Yes, my dear Leon," said Maria as she close her eyes, "kiss me…" He leans in for the kiss until a voice said "Well what do we have here? Two lovers about to make a child even though they couldn't? Hmm…" Leon gets in a defensive stance, with his scimitar out, as Maria hides behinds him. "Come on out!" screamed Leona. "No need to get loud, leader of gypsies," said the voice with a soft chuckle. Coming out of the bushes is a strange man wearing a red robe. His skin is a bit gold-like, his eyes are blue and was giving them a snake-like grin. "Who are you?" asked Maria in a soft voice. He bows at them and said "My name is Rumplestilskin, dearie. I see that you are going to have your lovemaking again yes?" "Are you spying on us?!" screamed Leon. "Perish the thought, dearie. I just know it would end with a child not being made. I can help you with that," said Rumplestilskin in a calm voice. Leon was about to chew him out, but Maria stopped him and said "You help us getting a child? Why?" He looks at her and said "Well, it must be a pain for you two for not having a child. So I am willing to give you a child of your own. However, a deal must be made." "What kind of deal?" asked Leon as he put away his scimitar and looks at Rumplestilskin. "The deal, dearie, is this. I would give you a child of your own who you can raise and love. But, once he is 13 years old, he must work for me. I'll give you two time to talk. But please make it quick," said Rumplestilskin. Leon turns to his wife and said "I don't know. This sounds to good to be true, Maria." "I know. But what choice to we have? I want a baby so much. Let's take the deal," said Maria. "You're sure, Maria?" asked Leon as he holds her hands. "Yes, my love," said Maria. He nods as he turns to Rumplestilskin, who hold out his hand and said "So, do we have a deal, dearie?" He goes to him and shakes his hand. "You got a deal, Rumplestilskin," said Leon. Just as he shakes her hand, Maria's belly starts growing to the from of a 2-week pregnant woman. "Oh dear…" said Maria in a soft voice. Leon turns to her and see her belly. "Maria. You're pregnant," said Leon. She rubs he belly and smiles. "I'm so happy, my love," said Maria with a smile. "Thank you, Rumplestilskin," said Leon. "It was nothing, dearie. Just don't forget about our deal," said Rumplestilskin as he heads on his way. The couple chuckles softy as they head back to their group.
As the couple comes back, they are greeted with cheers as they see Maria's belly swollen with their future child. They surround the couple and praise them for they know that they will have a future leader. Maria blushes softly as she was accepting gifts from her fellow gypsies. As for Leon, he was speaking with his close friends talks about the finally to having their own child.
9 months later, Leon was waiting outside his caravan as his wife was giving birth to their first child. He was nervous, which is new to him because he was never afraid of anything. He was a fearless leader who always found a way to get out of impossible traps and manage to survive. Just as he was about to blink, he hears a soft cry. He comes in and sees Maria holding a healthy crying baby boy. He smiles and look at at his son. His short hair is sliver and his soft skin is ebony. As he opens his eyes, Leon sees that his eyes are forest green. "He is beautiful, my love," said Maria with a smile. "He is, my Maria. He needs a name," said Leon as he holds his son in his arms. "I know the perfect name. Shiro," said Maria. He nods as he looks at Shiro and said "Welcome to the world, Shiro."
