AN: Just a heads up, I had to switch a few people's relationships around to fit the story
Once Upon A Time, there was a magnificent kingdom called Magnolia, the kingdom of fairies. This glorious kingdom was ruled by King Makarov and and his Queen. The couple longed for a child to call their own and after many years their wish was granted. Mavis, a healthy baby girl was born. The kingdom was overjoyed with the news and a celebration was held throughout the kingdom for an entire week. At the end of the celebration was the young princess's christening. Seven fairies were invited to serve as the girl's godmothers, each one reviving a golden casket filled to the brim with jewels and lavish fabrics. A golden cradle with the young Mavis safely inisde was placed before the the surveying citizens. The first fairy, a teenage girl with long blonde hair that was pulled to the side into a ponytail, presented her gift. "My gift is everlasting beauty, not just on the outside but on the inside as well. Beauty that would be shown through action and words, not just appearance," the blonde announced before stepping away from the cradle.
The next fairy was a petite girl with short light blue hair. "My gift is unquestionable wit. Strong judgment and intelligence that will make for a strong queen," the petite girl said bowing her head as she bestowed the gift.
The third fairy was a young woman with scarlet colored hair and sharp eyes. "My gift for the young princess is the gift of grace. Elegance fit for a queen," she announced before moving over for the next fairy.
This fairy had wavy brown hair and oval glasses. "This gift is the gift of dance, the ability to move rhythmically. Use this gift to sway, twirl, and glide through life," she proclaimed slightly dramatically.
The next fairy was a beautiful girl with long white hair and deep blue eyes. "I present the gift of song, a way to lift the hearts of many with just a few select words," she said softly with a gentle smile.
The sixth fairy was a young girl with shirt pink hair that was pulled into pigtails. "I bestow the gift of music. Show everyone the power of love through this gift," the girl with smiling widely.
Before the final fairy could bestow the final gift a dark figure rose from the back of the hall. "I've had enough of this," the figure growled, "how dare you overlook me, the great fairy, Sorano!"
The blonde fairy let out a gasp, "Sorano, you're supposed to be dead."
"And why do you think that, Lucy," she asked angrily, practically hissing her name.
"You locked yourself in a tower for years," the scarlet haired fairy said.
"We assumed you had died," the white haired fairy concluded.
"Silence, both of you!" Sorano barked, "it's time to present my gift to princess."
Sorano waltz over to young Mavis's cradle peering over it before turning back to the petrified crowd and shocked fairies. "This child shall prick her fingure on the spindle of a spinning wheel and face the ultimate price, death!" Sorano declared casting the curse on the infant. The fairies and guards rushed forward to stop her but it was too late, she was gone.
The Queen let out a wail rushing towards the cradle as King Makarov turned towards the fairies. "Is there anything you can do?" He asked, his voice strained.
The fairies looked among themselves before the final fairy, a young girl with long blue hair, came forward. "I cannot remove the curse, but I can change it so the princess can live," she said sadly, "at least then she would have a chance."
Makarov nodded, "Very well, do what you can."
The young fairy nodded, "I give you the gift of life, you still shall prick your finger, but rather than die, you shall sleep for one hundred years. The kiss of a prince shall wake you from your deep slumber."
In days that followed the princess's christening King Makarov forbid any form of spinning through out the kingdom. The princess was to be kept in the castle unless she had gaurds accompanying her. The kingdom prayed for the safety of their princess.
