Once upon a time, in a land far far away there lived two great monarchs. They were called Prince Charming and Snow White. They were kind and caring rulers, ushering in a new era of peace and prosperity. All their subjects adored them. Well... almost.
To ascend to the throne they had over throw the Evil Queen Regina, who put her quest for revenge above the well being of her subjects. Once upon a time Regina would have been a wonderful ruler, but her thirst for vengeance led her to darken her heart and having her power seized only added fuel to her fire.
It was in this time that a new princess was born into the kingdom. They named her Emilia Rutheva Charming. She was a lively and loving child full of good natured mischief. She as called a good omen, a beacon of hope. All the kingdom fell in love with their tiny princess. She was perfect.
There was a fortnight of celebration throughout the Enchanted Forest before everything came crashing down. The Evil Queen had concocted a curse that would destroy the happiness of every creature that had ever stood against her. The final ingredient was the heart of the kingdom's purest treasure. A great war followed and many died. The Queen was never able to obtain her heart, but she did get her revenge. It was said that the child was killed during the palace siege. Snow and Charming had maintained their position, but there was no real victory. The Queen retreated into the moutains to lick her wounds and watch as the nation fell into despair. The days of celebration were long forgotten. The Charmings continued to be fair and just rulers, but the joy and laughter that had once filled their palace was replaced by a heaviness and solemnity that made them unrecognizable.
