~Past~

In a kingdom far far away, a celebration is commencing. A celebration for a new born princess. After many childless years, King Farron and his Queen had a child, a girl, and they named her Claire. For the celebration and for the birth of a new princess, King Farron made that day a holiday for everyone to pay homage to the princess. At the hall is full of people from all over the kingdom, Claire is betrothed to Prince Hope, the young son of King Estheim, so that the two kingdoms will be forever united.

The three good fairies, Vanille, Fang and Serah, have also attended and is to bless the princess with gifts. The first fairy, Vanille, gave the gift of beauty. The next fairy, Fang, gave the gift of song. Before Serah could give her gift, an evil fairy named Layla appears with her pet bird, Raven. Layla was furious of being left out. She proceeds to curse the princess that before the sun sets on her sixteenth birthday, she will prick her finger on the spindle of a spinning wheel and die.

Since the third fairy, Serah, had not given her gift yet, she is able to use her gift to weaken the curse, so that instead of dying, Claire will fall asleep and she can only be awaken by true love's first kiss. To protect Claire, King Farron orders the destruction of all the spinning wheel in the kingdom. The fairies, however, devised a plan. they would disguise themselves as peasant women and with the king and queen's approval, they took Claire with them so that the evil witch, Layla, or her minions can never find them. They will be taking Claire to a woodcutter's cottage until her sixteenth birthday passes.

-In the lair of the evil witch, Layla-

"What do you mean you can't find her! Its impossible for me not to find her!" screams the evil witch. "We're sorry my lady, but all this while we have been looking for a baby child not the princess" replied her minions. "Gah! You stupid creatures, I'll look for her myself!" the witch then called for her pet bird. "Raven, come here! I need you to search for the Princess Claire and make sure you find her!" the witch ordered and almost immediately the bird flew through a small opening in the wall. The evil witch laughed an evil laughter. "Yes, you can never hide from me, fairies and you too, Princess Claire" the witch thought to herself. She had a wide evil grin on her face.
