Sleeping Skye (Part 2)
As the sun finished setting, everyone began to rejoice, for they thought the curse hadn't happened. Little did they know that as they cheered, in the highest room of the tallest tower of the castle, the wizard trio laid Princess Skye to rest.
"She's so beautiful" sighed Sir Rubble.
"Yeah" whimpered Sir Zuma. "King Marshall and the Queen are gonna be devastated."
"She's their daughter" said Sir Rocky. "They have a right to know."
With that, the wizards drew the chamber curtains, and vanished in a cloud of sparkles before reappearing in the throne room, where a big birthday party was waiting.
"Wizards, good to see you again" smiled King Marshall. "Where's Skye?"
As they hid their heads facing the ground, the King and Queen realised the worse had come true.
"No!" cried Queen Everest as she broke down in her husband's paws. "Not my Skye!"
As floods of tears flowed from their majesties eyes, the guests surrounding them in the throne room began to realise there was nothing to celebrate, for their Princess was gone.
"Where is she?" demanded King Marshall.
"We laid her to rest in the highest room of the tallest tower" said Sir Rocky. "She'll be safe."
This information brought some comfort to their majesties, but they were still so upset.
"There's nothing we can do" whimpered Queen Everest. "Our little girl is gone for good."
But then, Sir Zuma stepped forward, wanting to give them some positivity.
"Don't worry your majesties" he said calmly. "Remember seven years ago, my gift said that Skye can be awakened by the kiss of true love."
"But we have no idea how long that will take" King Marshall replied. "We could all be dead in the ground by the time she finally awakens."
"Not if we put everyone in the kingdom to sleep" Sir Rocky suddenly suggested "You would awake when she does, and not have aged a day."
Looking at each other, the King and Queen nodded in agreement. Sitting back down on their thrones, the wizards got to work with their magic. Soon, every human and canine, were fast asleep.
"So…what do we do now?" wondered Sir Rubble.
"Now…" began Sir Rocky. "…now we find a way to break the spell."
"But how do we find Skye her true love?" asked Sir Zuma. "We kept her hidden away from everything and everyone her whole life."
Sir Rocky looked at his wizard brothers, with a sigh.
"Aren't you boys forgetting something?" he asked, flashing his wand.
"Oh" Sir Rubble and Sir Zuma replied. "We can use our magic."
"Exactly" said Sir Rocky. "Now c'mon, all our magic stuff will still be in the cellar at the cottage."
With that, the three wizards left, leaving the entire kingdom deep in slumber. Once back at the cottage, they soon got their magical cauldron fired up with potions and spells. They were preparing an incantation that would be able to answer their question. Who was Princess Skye's true love?
"Magic cauldron, hear us now, for we seek answers, and make this vow…" began Sir Rocky.
"…Princess Skye, cursed in sleep, can only be awakened, by true love deep…" continued Sir Rubble.
"…So tell us, tell us, if you will, who can break the bad witch's spell?" asked Sir Zuma.
As the cauldron bubbled and roared, the wizards stood back, for this kind of spell required a lot of power. When the smoke cleared, trio peered inside, and their answer was revealed. It showed them a scene from earlier that day, where Skye had met a handsome young stranger.
"Who's that?" asked Sir Zuma.
"He looks like a Prince" stated Sir Rubble.
"That's Prince Chase" exclaimed Sir Rocky. "You know, from the kingdom on the other side of the forest."
"Handsome young pup isn't he" stated Sir Zuma. "Looks like he got really friendly with our Skye."
"Yeah" said Sir Rubble. "Look at the way he looks at her."
Peering more closely, the three wizards could see the way Skye looked back at him. She had never looked so happy to them. And that's when it hit them.
"That's our pup" said Sir Rocky. "Prince Chase can break the spell."
"But how do we find him?" asked Sir Rubble.
"Magic cauldron, tell us please, where to find, the Prince we seek" Sir Zuma spoke.
Obeying this command, the cauldron showed them another scene, only this time it was the present. There, the three wizards could see a young Prince Chase, lost in the forest.
"We have to find him" stated Sir Rubble.
"Look" Sir Zuma pointed. "He's near the little waterfall by the river."
"Let's go" said Sir Rocky.
And with that, the wizards vanished. Little did they know that Sweetie's frog had followed them again, heard every word, and was now reporting his finding back to his mistress.
"So, those wizards think they can break my curse do they?" Sweetie snorted. "Well, I guess I'll just have to take care of them, and that pretty pup Prince the hard way."
With that decided, Sweetie cackled away in a puff of purple smoke. Meanwhile, back in the forest, Prince Chase was lost. Trying to find his way by scent, it wasn't long before the wizard trio found him and appeared in front of him in a sparkle.
"Hello Prince Chase" they said as they bowed. "We've been waiting for you for a long time."
"Who are you?" Prince Chase asked, looking puzzled. "And how do you know my name?"
"We're here because we need you to save Skye" said Sir Rubble.
"Skye" Prince Chase exclaimed. "What's happened? Is she alright? Where is she?"
"Skye isn't a peasant pup" began Sir Rocky. "She's actually a Princess, the daughter of King Marshall and Queen Everest. A curse of eternal sleep that was placed on her as a baby has come true and she can only be awakened by her true love."
"And we think, well actually we know, that pup is you." Sir Zuma butted in suddenly.
Chase was a bit overwhelmed by all this sudden information. He had only met Skye once and had only spent a couple of minutes with her. But he knew, deep down in his heart, that she was the one.
"I'll do anything to save her" he smiled at the wizards, but their happiness was interrupted.
"You'll have to deal with me first" cackled Sweetie as she appeared from the smoke. "And after that, you'll never reach your precious Princess, because you'll be dead."
With a vicious bark, Sweetie transformed herself into giant bloodthirsty dragon. But Prince Chase stood bravely, sword in mouth, ready to tackle this monster. The wizards stood back, for they knew this wasn't their fight. Flames flickered through the forest, the whole place was nearly full of smoke, until with one final blow, Prince Chase finished off the wicked Sweetie.
"Love conquers all" he said as Sweetie perished in the fire, screeching loudly.
After that, the flames fizzled out. The evil magic was gone and Prince Chase could see the castle. Arriving with the wizards, he saw everyone was asleep, some were still standing.
"Why is everyone asleep?" he asked.
"That doesn't matter" replied Sir Rocky. "What matters is that we get you to Skye."
Looking up at the tower, they wasted no time in showing Prince Chase the way. They climbed to the top of stairs, and there she was, Princess Skye.
"So beautiful" Chase admired as he walked over to the bed.
The three wizards watched in anticipation as Prince Chase sat beside her, leaned forward, and gently kissed Skye on the lips. Leaning back, Chase watched and smiled as Skye's eyes flicked open.
"Chase" she said quietly. "You saved me."
As the pair of new love birds embraced each other, the wizards rejoiced, for the curse was broken. And it wasn't long before everyone else in the kingdom was waking up, including the King and Queen.
"We're awake" yawned Queen Everest. "At last."
"But, if we're awake, then that means…" started King Marshall, but before he could finish, trumpets blew loud and proud.
Walking down the stairs, side by side and smiling, was the girl they had been waiting for.
"It's Skye, she's here" King Marshall cried out.
"And Prince Chase" Queen Everest said, feeling surprised.
As the pair of pups walked forward and bowed to their majesties, Skye ran forward and embraced her parents in a big hug. They finally had their daughter back. They welcomed Prince Chase, for they could see that he was a part of their family now.
"Thank you my boy" King Marshall. "I know you'll make our daughter very happy."
The party was soon underway, as everyone was enjoying not just a birthday and a homecoming, but now, also an engagement. Princess Skye and Prince Chase were enjoying their first dance together with their majesties, their subjects, and the wizards looking on. Everyone was just so happy.
And they all lived happily ever after.
