Chapter 1
Isabella was bored. It was a frequent thing; given the tower room she occupied was not overly large. For nearly six years she had been banished here, not knowing her crime, and wishing she could see her mother again. Alice and her magic made for plenty of entertainment, and Jasper was well read for being both a warrior and an elf, so she didn't lack for an education either. But she craved human contact and the outside world.
The summer was drawing to a close and another birthday, her eleventh, would be upon her soon, with no friend to celebrate it with her. As she gazed out the window, she heard Jasper's call, "Rapunzel, let down your hair to me."
Doing as he asked, she lowered her hair and then waited as he climbed the tower wall. In his satchel, there were several books he thought would intrigue the princess, an early gift for her birthday. As he pulled himself through the window, he never noticed the young man who was standing in awe of what he had just witnessed.
