An Aphmau retelling of Cinderella, I deleted the previous one due to spelling errors. Enjoy!
Once upon a time…
There once was a kingdom called Pumpkin. The people who inhabited this kingdom have once sole purpose; to grow and sell pumpkins. Which they would either earn money for profit or trade for goods and sources with neighbouring kingdoms.
There lived a humble merchant, his wife and his daughter Kim. Kim was a gentle and kind-hearted girl beloved by her parents and all who had met her. She was beautiful both on the inside and the outside. Kim's greatest love was animals; she always felt a connection to them, as if they were talking to her. She also believed in magic, even when she grew older. However, Kim was very lonely. Her father often travelled abroad and she missed him terribly. Kim's mother often read her stories about faraway lands, princesses, and dragons, Kim always loved her stories. Sadly, this happiness didn't last long.
….
One grave snowy evening, Kim's mother fell ill with a severe disease that left her bedridden.
The doctors from all around the world did what they could but to no avail, it only worsened her condition.
"Kim, my darling…" Kim's mother spluttered and breathed heavily as she said so.
Kim came closer and sat on the chair beside her. "Kim, my darling. I want to tell you a secret. A great secret that will see you through all the trials that life can offer. Have courage and be kind…" Kim's mother whispered as she closed her eyes and her pulse stopped. Suddenly, tears began to form in Kim's eyes. Looking at the doctor who hung his head in grief, she knew her mother was dead, forever.
What will happen to Kim now? Coming soon!
