Once upon a time in a far away land, there was a hunter/Prince named Daryl Dixon who lived in a shining castle. Although he had everything his heart desired, Daryl was selfish, spoiled, and angry all the time.
But one night an old bugger woman came to his castle and offered a single rose in exchange for shelter from the cold. Disgusted by her appearance, Daryl sneered at the gift and turned her away, but she warned him never to judge by appearance, for beauty lies within. And when he dismissed her again, the old woman's ugliness melted away and revealed a beautiful enchantress!
Daryl tried to apologize but it was too late, for she saw no love in his heart. As punishment, she transformed him into a hideous beast and placed a spell on the castle and all who lived there.
Ashamed by his monstrous form, Daryl concealed himself in his castle with a magic mirror as his only window to the outside world. The rose she had offered, was a enchanted rose which will bloom on his 47th year. If he could learn to love another and earn her love in return then the spell would be broken. If not, he would be doomed to remain a beast for the rest of his life. As the years passed, he fell into despair and lost hope.
Who could ever learn to love a beast?
