Chapter One

Once upon a time, there lived a king and a queen who wanted a child more than anything in the world. Alas! Their wish came true for they were blessed with triplets. The names of the children were (in order) Mikarié, Monyrié and Flamérie d' Caputellé. They were so deeply loved by their parents that most of the things they used were either made of pure gold, the finest silk, shiniest silver or embroidered with various gems and diamonds. Literally, they were spoiled. But enough of that. So, when the three kids were a year old, the king called for a huge celebration that would last for four days and three nights. All ladies, gentlemen, barons, dukes, duchess, princes and princesses (and whoever is next) were invited into the grand feast. Everyone wore their best tuxedos and gowns all shimmering with gold, silver and gemstones. Once everyone had arrived, the party immediately started. All were dancing, some kids were smudging cakes with each other, some were laughing, and others were rolling on the floor (an exaggerated way of laughing to a person who jokes yet no one buys it). And so, the weary party people slumped to their seats after the first day of celebration. Some retired to the bed chambers prepared for them. Some just went home after getting some cakes and food. Others well...cried because the cakes were smudged all over them. Sigh, life's like this.

On the second day, the twelve chosen fairies arrived. These fairies were from a far-off land that's why it took them sometime to arrive at the castle. They were friends with almost every queen in the world. Well, except for the queen of darkness, of course. And so, the restless party people from last night joined the party once more. Except there were no children who would smudge a cake at every people they encounter. And so, in the middle of the party, the twelve fairies were to give four gifts to each baby. The gifts received by Mikarié were gift of beauty, gift of dancing, gift of a pure heart, gift of leadership. The gifts received by Monyerie were gift of beauty, gift of arts, gift of healing and gift of knowledge. And lastly, the gifts received by Flamerié were gift of beauty, gift of voice, gift of charisma and gift of...

Thunder roared ferociously that almost shook the pillars of the castle. Everyone was devastated. Some were running frantically in circles, hoping to see the exit when the exit was almost by their side. Some called their carriages to deliver them to their respective homes. When the common folks were finally out, the Queen of Eternal Darkness or also known as Queen Etherdred (Eternal Dread) came. The queen was dressed in its usual but rather striking long-sleeved raven black gown with puffed skirt on her back side. Feathers outlined her gown and silver shimmers from her head to toe. Her hair was down but she wore a silver circlet with a ruby in the center. She walked with poise and confidence. Any man who looked at her would be awestruck in a blink of an eye. Thunder roared again.

"Salutations, my dear queen. Pray, tell me. Am I too tardy to be in this party?"

Queen Etherdred might not look like it but she had trouble with her words. The king and queen and the twelve fairies sweat dropped. There was a moment of silence until the dark queen coughed.

"Forgive us, Queen Etherdred. But no, you are just in time for--"

"What GOBBLEDYGOOK! Were that gifts I heard a while ago?"

The dark queen roared in pure fury. Everyone was shaking so badly.

"Umm...y-yes...B-but you can still join us."

The queen lifted her shaky index finger and pointed at the empty seat near the youngest fairy. Queen Etherdred strode towards the chair and saw the triplets, laughing. She almost thought they were laughing at her. The dark queen gritted her teeth. Then she faced the king and the queen with a malevolent smile plastered on her ever-so youthful face.

"I have no fascination of eating this...food. And also, is not the rule in fairy land to give the babies gifts? But since I felt unwelcome in here, I can only give these babies one gift each."

The dark queen laughed horribly.

"I think it's better than giving them four gifts each"

Lilith, the youngest fairy muttered under her breath.

"Did you utter something, you imprudent one?"

Lilith did not answer.

"Anyway, I' giving gifts now. This child shall receive the cur---gift of eternal discontentment in her life! She shall ask for things over and over again and won't be contented with it! BWAHAHAHA!"

No one can stop the dark queen. Not even the fairies themselves. And that's not even a gift. -__-

"The next baby, shall receive the gift of eternal loneliness. She may have friends but she will be sorrow until she cries."

"And lastly, this nuisance, shall receive the gift of absolute obedience. Isn't the last gift the best? She cannot resist the commands being thrown at her! BWAHAHAHAHA! And then, I shall take two of your dear kiddies and send them off to a far-off place where they will spend the rest of their lives looking for their dear mother and father! HAHAHAHA!"

And with that, the dark queen vanished, along with Monyrié and Flamerié. The queen dropped to her knees and cried her eyes out. The youngest fairy came to her and offered her a tissue.

"Though I may not be able to do something to get back your kiddies, I can only give Flamerié the last give. The gift of luck. There, she could use it to escape the horrible commands of the people around her. By the way, that queen is full-time bluffing. She is definitely not strong enough to send your babies into a far-off land. They must be in here. In this place only. But remember, if you went on a search party for your kids, there is a lesser chance of finding them. Only the Chosen Ones can find the princesses."

With that, the fairies left, muttering blessings for the palace. Just then, the queen fainted.
