In the Enchanted Forest, Annalise was in a magical slumber. Not one person, or creature, could wake her. Even Anastasia, who had confidently made a deal with Ursula the Sea Witch, had heard of the Sleeping Beauty.
As a human, Anastasia met Luciana, a young woman living in Ligeia. The town was teeming with characters from fairy tales and, of course, mythical beasts.
Rubianne's daughter Melina, whom she had recently discovered was of royal birth, was amazed as she was informed of her younger brother's christening.
"His name shall be Timothy, after my grandfather," Rubianne announced smugly.
The entire family could transform into wolves at the full moon, a gift they inherited from their ancestors. A handsome prince caught Rubianne in a net; he had been informed of her thievery the previous night.
Even though the shapeshifter told him the ring was for a friend, he didn't believe her. "A friend? Who'd be friends with you?!" Prince Charming sneered.
"By the way, I am a girl in a red cloak," Rubianne mentioned, "not a thief. I enjoy changing from one thing to another. It's a hobby of mine."
"Is that so? There's someone I'd like you to see. She'll teach you a lesson, I'm sure."
Prince Charming brought Rubianne to Lisia, a wicked sorceress who could easily put unknowing mortals to sleep with a single word.
"Hahaha! Another one? You idiot! Why did you bring this girl? Anywho, let's see if she is worthy. Come forth, Rubianne."
Rubi walked toward Lisia and told herself she would be all right.
In Ligeia, a place for regular people believed to be fairy tale characters, a woman named Georgina was accused of being a wicked sorceress.
"What? No! I am NOT a dark sorceress. I have never hurt anyone in my entire life!" exclaimed the shocked woman, "you must be mistaken!"
"Oh no, we're not! The dark sorceress who nearly murdered Princess Annalise and did other nefarious deeds must pay!" an elderly woman cried out.
"I am a relative of that beautiful girl, who is now in an enchanted slumber, and it's HER fault!" She pointed a finger at Georgina.
Miraculously, Georgina rescued a peasant woman from a snow monster, using a fire spell to blast the creature to pieces. As Lisia, she consulted her magic mirror. Georgina persuaded it to find the writing of the most cursed tome in her collection and make sure she-and the other villains-got their happy endings.
The cries of a frightened infant filled the room. Rubianne comforted the child, rocking him back and forth. "It's going to be all right, Timothy," she cooed. Unfortunately, the three Queens of Darkness surrounded the female werewolf and her infant son.
"We have come to take the child," laughed Lisia menacingly.
