"Hello your majesties" the one in the blue said with a sinister smile. "We heard there was a celebration and we had to see why."
"Who are you? And what do you want?" The king said as he stood guard in front of the cradle.
"Excuse us, where are our manners?" This time a girl in red spoke. "My name is Stormy. This is Icy (Pointing to the girl in blue) and this is Darcy. (Pointing to a girl in purple) We are the Trix."
"We come to offer the princess a gift." Darcy said.
Then the three witches all stepped forward and started to say a chant…
This child will grow up strong,
But on her eighteenth birthday it will all be gone.
She will die with a single drop of blood,
And everything will come undone.
And with that the Trix were gone. No one said a word, they all looked at the king and queen. The queen was the one to finally break the silence.
"Please, someone do something!" The queen cried hysterically holding her child. There were a few moments of absolute silence before someone finally stepped forward. A woman dressed in purple with white hair and glasses stepped up to the king and queen.
"Your highnesses, my name is Faragonda. I may be able to help. But you must understand something."
"And what is that?" the king said.
"My magic is strong but not stronger then the Trix. I will not be able to get rid of the spell but I can change it so the princess will not die."
"That is fine. Anything to save our child." The queen said still holding the princess.
"There is more my dear queen." Faragonda continued, "When the princess turns ten I will have to take her away to a safe place so that the Trix can not find her. If you give me the permission I will be able to help."
The king and queen looked at each other. They had finally gotten their greatest wish, and they would now have to give her up.
"Anything to save our child." The king said with a sadden expression.
"Very well." Faragonda then started to chant her own spell…
This child shall not die,
Instead will only shut her eyes.
She shall stay asleep until one's true love's kiss,
That will put an end to all of this.
Faragonda then came towards the child and touched her forehead to complete the spell.
"I will be back in ten years." And Faragonda was gone.
Due to what happened the celebration was ended early. The king and queen had a lot to discuss.
