It had been a long time since Dr. Facilier had been able to open his eyes and not see a horrifying face smiling at him. Instead, when he opened his eyes today he saw that he wasn't with his friends from the other side anymore. He sighed and dusted himself off before standing up and fixing his hat on top of his head. He blinked a few times and then looked around to find out where he was. This wasn't his voodoo emporium nor was it any place he had been before.
He looked around but only saw trees and bushes obscuring the path. As a trick from the Loa, his "friends" as he called them, Facilier had been dropped into a completely different place then he had anticipated. He started to work his way through the bushes using his cane and also some help from his shadow, who even now was with him.
Finally, at the edge of the forest, he gasped. He saw a castle. Not a ruin or a large manor but an actual castle as they were build in medieval times. The Loa not only had dropped him into a different place, but in an all together different time. He cursed to himself about Tiana and decided to go to the castle. Maybe there was somebody that could help him.
Queen Grimhilde looked out of her window to the castle garden with a victorious smile. The mirror had said she was once more the most beautiful of the land instead of Snow White, whose beauty was beginning to shine through.
'Having the little princess dress in rags was a splendid idea,' she thought to herself as she looked onward.
Suddenly she saw a strange figure at the edge of the garden where the forest started. She frowned wondering what it could be. A knight in need? A peasant who was lost? Or maybe a thief out to steal her most precious thing, her beauty. She wasted no time in alerting her guards.
"I saw someone leaving the forests. I wish for him to be brought before me so that I may find out his purpose here and if he has malicious intent," She said to them.
The guards all bowed before their Queen and left to catch this mysterious man.
