Oh, for the bonus game, in the next DP, not counting Cursery, would you like it in what form: vision, letter, records, right after, or story? Let me know in the comments. Whichever hits 3 first will be it. Also, which 2 of the staff members do you want to help Charlotte? Only two rules: No repeats and has to match the theme! Whichever hits 3 first will be it. Oh, and the timeline finally has been updated and from Rapunzel to Little Mermaid there's an 11-year difference. Now I looked at all the Eipix games and some were more or less than what I'm looking for so while the first 4 WILL be side stories, the 4 after that will be Renee's turn for an adventure and why not then Eipix's second best series: Vermillion Watch. I figured since it's more like DP, why the hell not and I'll make one minor change. In the game there's info that the character inherited the 'businesses from the dead uncle, instead of Boddy from the father's side I'll do the uncle from the mother's side. Now after Renee's story I'll make 2 more side stories before we get back on track. Oh, and I almost forgot, I'll be stopping after Thief this time since Shadow and Sault Princess are not on the timeline yet. Hope I have upset my fans and readers.

The Final Cinderella

In a fancy house, there was a big mirror. On top of the mirror was 2 mice over a gold and silver disk, a pumpkin between them, and a face of an old woman with glowing red eyes and wings on top of the others. Then a figure in black appeared. Her skin wasn't in its healthy glow and her features are gaunt. Darkness ringed her bright red eyes and seeped down her cheeks in tear-stained streaks. Her hair hung in a knotted, greasy mess. Black smoke came out as she walked out of the mirror and walked to a balcony looking at the dancers with a book of pictures of different women. One woman the lady was looking at had short blonde hair and bright hazel eyes and she wears a gold and pink dress. "The Final Cinderella." That same girl was dancing with a gentleman. "I'll definitely find you tonight!"

Then the clock hit midnight. Another girl, noticed something was wrong with the other one. "Cyrilla!"

Cyrilla was slowly turning into glasses. "Help me, sister!"

Soon the room was in a panic as Cyrilla turned into the glass figure. Her sister tried reach for her, but the gentleman she was dancing with, pulled her away. "We've got to go!"

"Wait, Cyrilla! No…"

The woman in black saw it all on her crystal ball. "She's not the one." Then the image changed to a small glowing orb in the orb was Cyrilla's sister. "Wait! Cinderella is nearby." Then the image changed again to a man-like puppet. "Once I capture her, I'll revive you, my love." The puppet's eyes opened and glowed red.

Prologue

It's 2007. It's been a year since Disneyland and the American Horror Story stories and Charlotte was getting back to work. She's been going through all kinds of Cinderella stories. Some good like Disney and Brandy's version, others not so good like the live action Disney's version, and other she dodged completely IE the porn version. Don't ask what the story is, all I will say is it's more trippy than Chirpy and I HIGHLY recommend not to look it up, but I must warn you, Google at your own peril.

Anyway, as Charlotte was working, Mdm. Satine and Jessica came in. "We got one Charlotte." Said Jessica.

Charlotte said, "Cool. Where and when?"

Mdm. Satine said, "Italy and NOW. Supposedly in a few days there's going to be a ball and Godmother will be there."

Charlotte got her stuff. "Don't need to tell me twice. Who's my helpers today?"

Jessica said, "Us. Get your stuff." Charlotte got her coat, her spy glasses, her map watch (after years of fixing it), and got out of there.

Intro

Soon Charlotte arrived in the Matese Mountains, Southern Italy 12 hours after the incident. At the gate of the estate gate. Charlotte got her file book and her recorder out. "Welcome to the Matese Mountains, Detective. Last night at midnight, three girls turned into glass while attending a ball at a mysterious mansion. Similar incidents have happened in the past in other parts of the world. Our research indicates that this might be the work of Godmother - a mysterious, powerful witch who is said to be over a thousand years old. Rumors say that she has spent decades searching for "Cinderella", the legendary pure-hearted maiden. Once Godmother captures Cinderella, we fear that she will use her newfound powers to wreak havoc upon our world. We've also upgraded your notebook as reports of clues of Godmother's past Cinderellas are in the building. Find them and learn their stories for they might help you connect past and future cases. Your mission is to uncover Godmother's plot, find Cinderella, and protect her from Godmother. Good luck, Detective!" Charlotte closed the book, put the recorder away, and after opening a pumpkin like lock, she opened the gate. She saw a figure outside of the house door and then went inside in a puff of smoke. Then the lights started to flicker.

At the mansion entrance, there was the great house a golden statue of Cinderella, one gate on the left leading to the floral garden, the other leading to the courtyard, and small red mail box. "Charlotte here. Can you 2 hear me?"

Mdm. Satine said, "We can hear you loud and clear."

Jessica said, "And we can see anything. We added an extra feature you asked for the in the glasses after the Red Riding Hood case."

Charlotte said, "Thanks. Let's just hope I don't have to use it. Oh, and do we know what this house is registered under?"

Mdm. Satine did some typing and said, "It says Amelia but the only Amelia that's famous is Amelia Earhart but she's hasn't been seen since her last trip."

Jessica said, "Only recently people think she was captured by the Japanese."

Charlotte said, "It's possible since more and more evidence are showing it. Who own the house now?"

Mdm. Satine said, "Since Italy think it was Earhart, it's became the county's historical site and rented for parties such as the one earlier."

Jessica said, "It might be Fairy Godmothers given it has Cinderella Easter eggs everywhere. But then again they probably didn't come up with that conclusion."

Charlotte said, "Anyway, I'm going to look around. I'll call when something pops."

The 2 said, "You got it."

Charlotte opened her notebook and saw 5 parable files. "Where's the new stuff? Oh well." She noticed on the ground was a puppet key and an invite. It says, 'Miss Kathrine Belloni's company is requested at a ball on Friday, the nineteenth of July at 8 o'clock in the evening at the Ballroom of Hilltop Mansion.' "This invitation is addressed to a girl named Katherine. Did she drop this here by accident?" Charlotte walked up to the door and saw a silhouette of a woman. Then it disappeared. "Who was that? She disappeared so fast, I barely caught a glimpse of her."

Mdm. Satine said, "Be careful Charlotte."

Jessica said, "We don't want to lose our favorite detective."

"Don't tell Kurt that." Charlotte opened the left gate and entered the floral garden. As she entered there was smoke everywhere and when it went away there was a glass maiden. "Ah, I see one of the glass maidens!" As soon as Charlotte took her first step, the weight under the glass maiden gave out and fell off the cliff. "Whoa, the ground crumbled under the glass maiden. It's falling!" She ran to the cliff and didn't see her anywhere. "Where did the glass maiden go? I can't see her anywhere." She picked up the glass cherub, stood up and looked around. There was a small clock tower with hands permanently stuck on midnight, a bush in a shape of a dancing couple though the man's head was gone and a giant glass slipper statue just like the one from Red Riding Hood Sisters. "Okay, first one was Briar Rose, second one of Princess Ivy, then Rose, third one was Snow White's mom, then the real Pied Piper, the forth one was the dead queen, and now this. Who's helping me this time?"

Mdm. Satine asked, "Think it might be the first Cinderella?"

Jessica asked, "Or maybe the one who gave Godmother her powers.

Charlotte said, "I don't know. Hope I find out soon." Then she noticed eyes from a bush. One step and whatever it was, was gone. "It feels like someone is spying on me from the bushes." She checked the bushes and saw no one. "There's no one here. Did the spy leave?" She also saw a chest and an Ivy Gate Token. Then she saw sparkles at the shoe statue and put together the Mansion Emblem.

Once at the door, Charlotte saw the woman again on the balcony over the door. "It's the last who appeared at the door! Is she the owner of this mansion or an intruder? And why the hell did I just say that knowing I already know the answer?"

Mdm. Satine said, "Happens to all of us. Don't blame yourself."

Jessica said, "Still be careful around her. She's the Godmother we told you about."

Charlotte said, "I will." She placed the emblem on the door and walked inside the mansion corridor. Inside was a staircase that goes up to the second floor, doors on the right that one of the knobs is broken, a dressier, a broken table, oh and another glass maiden. "Another one." As she walked forward, a giant wooden hand came bursting from a wall, grabbed the glass maiden and took it.

Chapter 1

"A giant wooden hand just grabbed the glass maiden from right before my eyes!" yelled Charlotte. "No Cinderella story I read and watch had wooden puppets. Am I getting a crossover?"

Mdm. Satine said, "The only one that has a wooden puppet is Pinocchio but we have no records of him…" Then she groaned. "Other than the parables files. Damn it!"

Charlotte sighs in frustration. "Next time, please PLEASE let me know if there's more than one tale. I don't want to find out the hard way it's supposed to be one story but it's actually another."

Jessica said, "You got it."

Charlotte checked the hole in the wall, heard a roar and saw a giant wooden beast looking through the hole with red eyes and red markings like veins. Then it walked away shaking the ground as it walked. "The giant wooden Beast just glowered at ne. What could this monster want?" Then she picked up the number 12 button which looks like it was part of a clock, found a Bravery Medallion near the broken table and moved forward into the grand hall.

In the ground hall, there were 2 doors: one on the left wall on the second floor and the other on the right wall on the second floor too. One had a puppet guarding it, the other was missing 3 pieces and in between them was a picture. But what caught Charlotte's eyes was a red cape covering something. She removed it and saw Cyrilla. "Found the last glass maiden." She gently took the key from the statue and walked up the stairs to the picture. Near the picture was a box. Charlotte placed the glass cherub on the box and it opened. As a result, Charlotte got the feather fan and a parable piece.

Then Charlotte moved back to the corridor and use the cabinet key to open the cabinet next to the locked doors on the right. Once opened she found a wine bottle and a Face Powder Box. After getting the 2 items, she walked up the balcony.

At the balcony, there was a few candles, a table and a few chairs, a window to the outside with a beautiful view of the clock tower and a few statues of Cinderella couples, a wall that doesn't seem to be there, a desk with a book, and a picture that's has its image distorted. Charlotte picked up a glass slipper that was on the floor, which lit up the candles lighting up the room. On the table, there was the open book of the Cinderella images. "It looks like Godmother is searching for a specific girl." She picked up a comb, a parable piece, and turned the page. But 2 photos weren't crossed off and there was a note. It says: I need to find the perfect ones with the purest souls'. "She must be looking for Cinderella – the girl with the purest heart and soul." She said. Then she asked, "Didn't Cinderellas died out? The only one I know is the one that married the Frog Prince James."

Mdm. Satine said, "You'll find out when you get the parables."

Jessica asked, "Why ask yourself these questions you already know the answer?"

Charlotte said, "I maybe 21 years old, but sometimes asking questions out loud helps solve it."

They said, "Sorry."

Then Charlotte opened another book on the table. "This story book tells various Cinderella stories. Man, why couldn't I get this one? Too late now."

Charlotte examined a vase shaped as a sting instrument on a wall and found a Royal Clothing Collection piece. Then her journal glowed. She opened it and saw the 4 Cinderella stories. "Wow." The one that woke up was the second story; 'Princess and the Frog Prince.' There was a picture of the Cinderella but there was no parable slot. "How am I going to put this together? And this time I asking you 2."

Mdm. Satine said, "Supposedly around there are orbs about Godmother's Cinderellas Though there's a total of 4 there's only 2 in the building. No idea where the other 2 are."

Jessica said, "What you're supposed to do is find the clothing, which would automatically stick to the file until you collect them all and put them on the dolls in the orb. There should be about 4 each."

Charlotte said, "Thanks. One more question, is the only time I'm going to get this?"

Mdm. Satine said, "Well when you hit Rapunzel your task will be different."

Jessica said, "So be prepared for that."

"Thanks." Said Charlotte. Then she poured the bottle of wine into the vase, and then took the clock hands that floated to the top. After that Charlotte saw sparkles on the table and found clock gears. Once back at the grand hall, she walked to the wall clock. Once the clock gears, the number 12, and the clock hands were on, a puzzle appeared. The puzzle was in a shape of a castle and there were 5 glowing buttons but to activate it and is to solve 5 puzzles. The first one was 6 flowers on a single stem. Once that was done the shoe lever appears. The second one was opening a door under a tower, then the window opens and then the boy climbed the long braid. Once that was done another shoe lever appeared. The third puzzle was just touching the chimney and another shoe lever appears. The fourth puzzle was moving the gears so a small glass show lines up correctly. After that, she pressed the tiles on the door to recreate the glass slipper. Once that's done, she pressed all the shoe levers that recreated the Cinderella story.

Soon the wall clock started to work and the doorway opened up. In the empty room, there was the mirror and the girl from before. "Detective, I'm Katherine. My stepsister Cyrilla turned into glass at the ball last night. An old lady had given her a new gown and glass slipper last week. Those clothes must have been cursed. I saw that old lady enter the mirror just now. Please help me figure out how to activate this mirror, Detective." Charlotte looked at the mirror and it flashed to another world which looked like a tripped-out forest, and then it went away. Then Kathrine gave her a Cinderella figurine. "Here, take this, I found this figurine in my search of the mansion." Then she gave her a picture fragment. "Detective, I just found this picture fragment. Where do you supposed this belongs to?" Katherine has long blonde hair in the front and shoulder-length at the back, pale skin, bright blue eyes wearing a blue and white gown.

Charlotte said, "Thank you. Umm…one question."

Kathrine said, "Sure. What is it?"

Charlotte asked, "Tell me, were you ever in or near the Vosges Mountains in Easter France?"

Kathrine said, "No I haven't. Why's that?"

Charlotte said, "A few years ago, a little girl was nearly attacked by mist wolves but was saved by the Red Riding Hood Sisters. She looks just like you."

Kathrine got it and nodded said, "I understand what you're talking about. The little girl that was saved was my younger second cousin. Somehow we look like twins so I understand the confusion."

Charlotte said, "Thank you for clearing it up." Then Charlotte touched the mirror and soon the whole area was covered with roots.

"What's going on? Tree roots suddenly sprang out of the mirror, covering the whole mansion!" said Kathrine.

Charlotte said, "Just stay safe, I'll look around to see if I can find anything." She checked the table on the left and found a Ball Mask and a parable piece. Then she saw sparkles on the table on the right. There she found an Ornamented vase.

Kathrine asked, "How did you know where the items are?"

Charlotte said, "I have 2 powers. One is to find broken things at the right time, the other one is seeing the past and the absolute future if only a couple of years from now."

Kathrine said, "Wow. That's cool."

Charlotte said, "Only if they can corporate. If not they're a pain in the ass." Once back at the balcony, she put the picture piece on the wall and another puzzle appeared. It's to fix the distorted picture. After fixing it, it was a picture of a Cinderella and her prince dancing. Once it was done, the unnecessary wall vanished so Charlotte can look down on the dancefloor. "This must be where Godmother watched the girls." On the table, she found a golden mirror decoration and a parable piece.

Back at the corridor, Charlotte placed the ornamented vase on the table on the left. A secret compartment opened and inside was a hand mirror and a wisdom medallion. Once back at the grand hall, she walked up to the door on the right and placed the face powdered box, the comb, and the hand mirror on the door. It opened and Charlotte saw it was a dressing room with a big wardrobe a closet of clothes, a dressier with a mirror and a matching seat, a mannequin, a picture, and an open suitcase.

She checked the suitcase and there she found and put together a Wooden Mouse. Once it was in her bag, the picture falls off the wall showing a hole. In the hole was a box, and an emerald pendant. After she took it, she placed the ball mask on the box and it opened inside was the Frog Prince Figurine. She then checked the dressing table and found another parable piece. Then she added the prince and princess figurine in its inserts and a panel opens. Inside was a Silver Mirror Decoration. Then she placed the feather fan on the statuette's hands and a drawer opens. Inside was another clothing piece. "I think Godmother did own this house. How else would there be hints of the Frog Prince?"

Back at the ballroom, Charlotte put the silver and gold mirror decorations on the mirror and soon something happened. The mirror glowed, started to move before, and then black smoke appeared and Godmother appeared. She was about to grab Charlotte but Kathrine pushed her away getting grabbed herself. "Look out, Detective!" Then as Godmother was laughing, she was dragging Kathrine into the mirror. Then Kathrine got out her change purse. "Everything I've found is in it." She threw it at Charlotte just before she was completely submerged inside the mirror. Charlotte got it as a bright light pushed Charlotte out of the ballroom into the corridor filling the house with black smoke. Charlotte woke up and saw the purse on the ground.

Chapter 2

As Charlotte stood up, she saw Kathrine inside a mirror on the wall near the balcony. "Where did she took her?"

Mdm. Satine said, "I wish we could tell you more but…"

Charlotte said, "I know, I know. I'll be in my parable notes."

Jessica said, "Blame your uncle for the rules not us."

Charlotte groaned. Luckily the black smoke didn't block the balcony. She opened the purse and got a Peace Medallion and a Rose Gate Token. There was also a map of the back of the house. "This looks like a map of the mansion's surroundings." She made it outside and saw the wooden beast at the back of the house. "Oh boy. First an evil Godmother and now this. Too late to back out." She placed the ivy and the rose gate token on the door which has the shape of pumpkin wheels and went to the courtyard.

At the other side, there was a wall with a star on it, a few statues, a gazebo with a piano and am archway leading to another area. There was also the stone beast at the other side of the wall. But what caught Charlotte's eye the most was a little boy crawling in the bushes. "Some boy is crawling through the bushes. Who is he, and where is he going?" She walked to the bushes and saw a picture of Godmother, a man and a little boy. "This appears to be a family picture. This woman resembles Godmother!" She also spotted a scripture under one of the statues. "Under the statue dedicated text, there is a warning that trespassers will be punished." There was also a ruby pendant and a clothing collection piece but this time it's European. "Cinderella number 2." She opened her journal and it was for Ella Blom, The First Cinderella. "I guess this is Godmother's records of the Cinderellas she helped. Least the tape wasn't wrong."

Mdm. Satine said, "Give us a break! We cover all bases."

Charlotte asked, "Really?"

Jessica said, "Once we f-ed up Madeline's case."

Charlotte asked, "And?"

"Shut up!" They yelled.

Charlotte laughed. She saw a note attached to a pillar and saw symbols on jars. "Puzzle hint number one." Then she took the path on the right to the grand fountain. At the area, there was a fountain on the right which turned into a potted plant, saw the grand fountain that has 3 ladies holding jars, a statue of the same family, and a glass wall blocking something. "I wonder what's behind it." She checked the base of the statue and found a mailbox flag handle and a parable piece. Then she checked the fountain itself and placed the ruby and emerald pendants on it and the 2 jars lite up. Though Charlotte didn't find the third one, she managed to select the right symbols to find Piano Keys, Diligence Medallion, and a Godmother Figurine. After that she saw sparkles at the planted pot and found and put together a Sacred Chalice.

Once back at the courtyard, Charlotte checked the piano and saw it had missing keys. Well first was to get the parable piece and then put the piano keys in place. Then she played the music using the symbols on the keys as a guide. "B – E – C – D – B – A – E." Then a secret compartment opened and she got the Knight Emblem.

Back at the mansion entrance, Charlotte put the mailbox flab on the box and when it opened there was another jar clue and a Runestone. Then her sixth sense was telling her to go back to the floral garden. Once there, at the giant shoe, she found and put together a Pirate Chest Adornment. Once that was done, a bird flies away and she managed to find the Kindness Medallion. Then back at the courtyard, she walked up to the wall, which is actually a door, put the runestone in its slot and symbols appear in their respected circle. One was a book, then a heart, hands, a lion, and a dove. First Charlotte placed was Kindness. As she placed it in, she heard a voice of a man. "A Cinderella is Kind and helpful to all she meets."

Charlotte looked around and saw no one. "That's weird."

She placed the Wisdom in place and heard it again. "A Cinderella has Wisdom beyond her age."

Charlotte looked around again. "Who's saying this and where is it coming from?"

Then she placed Peace in place on the door. "A Cinderella never resorts to violence to solve her problems."

Charlotte said, "Well I'm definitely not Cinderella material. I go through a rosary just to make up missing Sundays."

Then she placed Bravery in its slot. "A Cinderella displays courage under every circumstance."

Charlotte said, "Definitely no, since I hate spiders."

Then lastly, she placed Diligence in its last slot. "A Cinderella always works hard no matter what task she's given." Then the door opened.

She went through the doorway to the path of the ruins and saw the wooden beast beating a tree and, in a hole, there was a little boy hiding from it. "Help!"

Charlotte saw a crossbow nearby and fire it at the beast. It hits it and it turned to her. "Oh no you don't!" She grabbed a javelin, and a burning torch, place them on the crossbow and fired it at the beast. It caught on fire and jumped away.

Then the boy got out of his hiding spot. It was a wooden puppet wearing a dark green vest over a white shirt that is opened a bit and reddish-brown pants with gold detailing on the sides. He wears black shoes and white gloves. A small yellow hat is on his head. His hair looked ashy blonde and his eyes were a faded blue. He stood up and said, "Thanks for the rescue, Detective. I'm Pinocchio."

Charlotte said, "Nice to meet you Pinocchio. I need your help. My friend has been kidnapped and went inside a mirror."

Pinocchio asked, "You want to go to the Mirror World to save your friend?" Charlotte nodded. "Ah, the evil Godmother must have taken her. I'll come to help you out. We can use the mirror in the ruins." Then he ran off.

Charlotte said, "$50 says he's Godmother's kid."

Mdm. Satine said, "You're on!"

Jessica said, "I bet an extra 50."

Charlotte said, "I call. $100 each says Pinocchio is her kid. If so please put it in my . Got a few Luna purses I wanna buy." She walked up to the base of the tree and took a dirty cloth to use it later. Then she saw sparkles near some depress nearly in front of a temple like building. There she found and put together a Goddess Figurine. Then she took one of the 2 paths to the thermae, which is like a bath house with loose rules.

She washed the dirty cloth and the big mirror in the pool changed its reflections showing Godmother next to a puppet man surrounded in flowers. "Oh my love, why did you leave me?" she asked crying.

"I guess her grieving drove her into madness." She walked up to a chest against a wall and saw an incomplete tea set. She picked up a royal clothing collection, and placed the sacred chalice and a draw opened and she got a Tree Tap. Then she saw sparkles at some debris and went to check it out. There she found and put together a Jeweled Vial.

Then she moved down to the path of ruins and walked up to the tree and insert the tree tap into the tree and then put the jeweled vial under the tap to get some Crimson Tree Sap.

After that, she walked up the stairs to the ancient theater. There Pinocchio was sitting on a broken stone block. "Here's the mirror, Detective. You must clean the mirror first. Then use some Enchanted Tears and some Crimson Tree Sap to open the portal."

Charlotte begins to think. "I wonder if the enchanted tears are from a Golden Child. Ever heard of them?"

Pinocchio said, "Not to my knowledge. Sorry."

Charlotte said, "Not your fault. To be honest I didn't know they were real until about a few years ago." On the pillar to her left, she put in the godmother and the goddess figurines in its insets and there was a mini-game. It was a map of the world and there were 7 princesses from India, England, China, Thailand, South America, Egypt, and North America. As Charlotte pressed the right buttons to put the princesses in their right spots, their clothes change from girl to Cinderellas. Example: The girl from India clothes changed from simple green to elegant purple, the girl from England clothes changed from a simple purple to a princess like white, for China; from a simple red dress to a royal red dress, for Thailand; from a simple rainbow dress to a beautiful golden dress with a matching headdress, for North America; the Native American girl turned into an Native American Chief, for Egypt; the princess turned into a queen, and finally for South America; the cowgirl turned into Annie Oakley.

Once the puzzle was done, a compartment opened and there was the enchanted tears and a parable piece opening one of the files. The Final Cinderella: There was once a girl who was a "Cinderella", a maiden who retains her pure heart despite the hardships she bears. Now this girl never knew her mother, and her father and stepmother died when she was young. She was left at the mercy of her uncle, who forced the girl and her stepsister to work as unpaid servants. One day, news came that a ball was being held in the mysterious mansion on the mountain. Both girls wished to go to the ball, but they had no clothes to wear. Fortunately, an old lady gifted them each a ball gown and a pair of glass slippers. Their uncle saw the girl's new dress and confiscated it, as he desired to sell the dress for money. Her stepsister managed to hide her own dress, and she helped the girl make over an old dress for the ball. The girls greatly enjoyed themselves at the ball. However, at midnight, tragedy struck: the girl's stepsister was transformed into glass. Determined to return her stepsister to normal, the girl bravely sneaked back into the mansion to look for clues.

Charlotte said, "Well that explains Kathrine's story." Once at the mirror tree, there was another European clothing collection item, then she cleaned the mirror, added the enchanted tears and the tree sap.

Soon the mirror showed the image of the Forbidden Grove and a red portal opened. "The Portal's ready. What are you waiting for? Let's go!" yelled Pinocchio. Then the 2 entered the portal.

Chapter 3

Once at the other side, it looked like a haunted forest where there are 2 paths. One lead to a castle, and the other leading somewhere but blocked at the moment. Then Charlotte saw Pinocchio running to the castle. "Pinocchio was spooked by something. He's running away!"

Mdm. Satine yelled, "Go after him!"

Charlotte said, "First thing's first and easy on the volume." She took the Well Wheel Handle, and the royal clothing completing one of Cinderella collections. Then she checked a pirate puppet and there she found a parable piece. After that she placed the pirate chest adornment and when the chest opened she took the Beanstalk seeds and an Enchanted Dagger. After that, she saw sparkles on the right near a tree. There she found and put together a Glass Lotus Flower.

After that Charlotte walked forward towards the bridge. But there was no bridge, there was a castle, a ridge, and Kathrine in a tree! "Help me Detective!" In the castle, Amelia was watching them with her glowing red eyes. Charlotte ran to the tree. "The evil Godmother trapped me here."

"I'll get you out of here. Just hang on." Said Charlotte.

"Where exactly am I supposed to go?" Kathrine asked rudely. Charlotte was taken back but ignored it at the moment. She picked up a trowel and a glass dragonfly and left.

She made it back to the Whispering Forest and saw another path was cleared. "The branches blocking the way into the forest are gone."

Jessica said, "Be careful."

She walked into the pumpkin farm and saw the wooden beast. "The giant Beast is staring at me, but it's not attacking me. Is someone controlling its movements?"

Mdm. Satine said, "Then it really is a puppet. Are his eyes moving?"

Charlotte moved back and forth in front of the beast and replied, "Yep they're moving but not the body."

Jessica said, "Then someone is pulling the strings unlike Pinocchio."

Charlotte asked, "Can I submit a request for a partner?"

Mdm. Satine asked, "We're not enough?"

Charlotte said, "I need a physical, not a voice in an earpiece."

Jessica said, "We'll see what we can do." Then the voices stopped.

In the Pumpkin Farm, there was a few pumpkins, a couple of wheels, a well, a jewel pumpkin, and sparkles. She walked up to the ornate pumpkin and took the lasso that was on the ground and then used the trowel on the ground in front of the ornate pumpkin to get the sulfurous potion. Then she walked up to the well. First, she took the floral clothing collection which unlock another Cinderella story and the parable piece for the Evil Godmother parable. After that she walked to the sparkles and found and put together a glass butterfly.

She made it back to the bridge and used the sulfurous potion on the enchanted tree holding Kathrine. "Ouch! Watch what you're doing! You almost injured me."

Charlotte muttered, "You damn lucky I'm not on my period." Then she used the enchanted dagger to cut away the branches.

Kathrine got out. "Thanks, Detective. I saw some glass maidens in the Glass Wasteland. Let's go save them."

Charlotte said, "Once I find or make a bridge we will. Just stay here while I continue my work and no lip." Charlotte took the well pulley wheel and made it back to the pumpkin farm. Once in place, the bucket rises with a puppet out of it. Charlotte pushed it off an took the bucket including the bishop emblem.

Once back at the bridge, she walked up the center ridge. Charlotte poured the beanstalk seeds on the ground and added a bucket of water. Then 2 beanstalks grew, one went to the castle, and the second one went straight up. After they stopped growing, the 2 walked up to the castle gate. At the castle gate, there was the castle, a cottage on the right guarded by some mutated Venus flytraps and on a left was a blocked gate leading to somewhere. Charlotte picked up a rusty ax and then she walked up to the door and found a pumpkin mouth.

Then Charlotte and Kathrine made it back to the bridge and used the rusty ax on the beanstalk to get a log from it. Once back at the gate, Charlotte put the log in a certain Venus Flytrap that has a pirate jacket ornament. Then she used the lasso to pull it out. "That was more scary than Little Shop of Horrors. Speaking of which, girls!"

Mdm. Satine and Jessica said, "It's on your renting list, both versions."

"Thank you." Replied Charlotte. She made it back to the Whispering Forest and placed the pirate jacket ornament on the puppet's sleeve and took the glass lotus leaf. Once back at the castle gate, she walked up the gate on the left and placed the glass butterfly, the glass dragonfly, the glass lotus leaf, and the glass lotus flower. Once in place, a mini game started. It was basically changed the path for the 6 colored marbles hit the right spot. Once it was done, the gate to the glass wasteland was open.

Chapter 4

In the Glass Wasteland, there were glass maidens from nearly all over the world including the 2 from the party. Kathrine said, "When Godmother was holding me captive, she mentioned glass slippers being key to some curse. Hurry! We can't let Godmother get those slippers first!"

Charlotte asked, "Will one do?"

Kathrine responded, "What good is one glass slipper? Bring me a complete pair!"

Charlotte yelled, "No need to be rude!" She walked up to the center of the statues and took the pumpkin nose and the oriental clothes collection unlocking another Cinderella story. Then she walked up to a fallen statue where she saw the sparkles and found and put together a glass spell book. After that, she went to the bridge and went to the sparkles on the right near some tree roots and found and put together a carver's insignia. After that she walked to the Whispering Forest and saw sparkles at the chest on the right and found and put together a sturdy ax. "Better than the rusty one." She made it back to the bridge and used the sturdy ax on the beanstalk. Charlotte made it across and found a logging site.

There were some trees that were blocking weird looking trees. There was also a chest and another small Cinderella dress house. Charlotte took the ball of twine and the wooden train car form the chest and then the wood on top broke apart. When she put the Carver's Insignia on the chest, it opened and inside was pumpkin eyes and blue fireflies that suddenly appear. Once back at the pumpkin farm, Charlotte placed the pumpkin eyes, nose, and mouth on the ornate pumpkin and inside was the second glass slipper, and a parable piece. Also, inside was a small note about someone wanting to be good. Finally, she made it back to the Glass Wasteland. When she held out the slippers Kathrine said, "Ah, the glass slippers. Bravo, Detective, Bravo! I knew you would be a great help to me." Then she started to laugh and turn into a puppet. Charlotte has been doped. "Now, it's time you take a little nap!" The puppet opened a vial of sleeping potion and Charlotte was knocked out.

Soon enough Charlotte woke up due to some voices. "Charlotte wake up!"

"Please wake up!"

"WAKE UP!"

Charlotte opened her eyes and stood up. "I'm up, I'm up, I'm up." She looked around and saw she was in in the cottage and she was alone. Pinocchio was there knocked out.

Chapter 5

Once she collected her bearings, she first took a wooden stick and then a parable piece and woke up Pinocchio. "Are you alright? Where are we?" she asked.

He replied, "The evil Godmother trapped us here. I've no idea where we are. Honest!" Then his nose grew a bit.

Charlotte asked, "Are you sure you're telling the truth?"

Pinocchio said, "I am. She planning to use the soul of the Cinderellas to bring someone back." His nose didn't grow so she took it as a response.

Charlotte said, "Alright. I'm going to look around, just stay here and rest for a bit." She walked over to a desk and found and put together a wooden cat. Then she opened the door to the kitchen and walked inside. In there was just a regular kitchen but all the food was wood. "This must be Pinocchio's house."

Then Mdm. Satine said, "Then it's possible that the three used to live here for a long time."

Jessica said, "I still have a funny feeling about those trees. Boy do I want to spoil it for you."

Charlotte said, "It's alright." She checked the lower cabinet and added the wooden cat and the wooden mouse. Inside was a wooden doll head and a floral clothing collection item. Next to the chest there was some hay, so she put the stick there and tied it up thanks to the ball of twine to make a broom. After that she left the kitchen and went upstairs to the bedroom. Inside was a bed, some Asian mask and an Asian style doll house like the other three. First, she took the fire emblem and then looked under the bed. She used the broom to sweep under the bed and there was a box. On top of the box was the castle emblem and a family picture of Pinocchio, Amelia, and Geppetto. She walked back stairs and showed it to Pinocchio. "This your family?"

He replied, "I miss my Dad a lot, but I'm never going to see him again." Then his nose grew again. This time Charlotte brushed it off. She's seen enough Pinocchio movies to know when a puppet was lying.

"Well I'm almost done so far, we just need to focus on how to get out." She closed her eyes and held her hand. "I just wonder who's breaking these items."

Pinocchio asked, "What do you mean?"

Charlotte said, "I have 2 powers: seeing the past and the future, for the most part, and if there's broken items, I would feel it and see sparkles. Had a lot of helpers in the past, don't know about here though. At the top of my head I'm thinking…maybe the Maiden Goddess?"

Pinocchio asked, "You know who she is?"

Charlotte said, "Not yet, but someone has to give Godmothers their powers. They're not just mutant or live in Scotland like I do." She made it back to the kitchen and saw sparkles, and found and put together a wooden carver figurine. She quickly made it back to the bedroom and placed the wooden figurine in the box panel and there was a mini-game. It was the same as the Cinderella and the prince painting but this time it was the family that was in the photo. Once solved it opened and inside there was a soul necklace model and a not. It says, 'Pinocchio, your father died because of you! If you want to save him, find me Cinderella. Her soul together with the power of the Soul necklace might be enough to revive him. You mother, Amelia.' Charlotte grabbed the note and the necklace and walked back to Pinocchio. "Explain this."

She showed him the necklace and Pinocchio said, "Yep, you've guessed it. I've been helping the evil Godmother. She wants to sacrifice Cinderella to revive my dad." His nose went back to normal and ran upstairs with tears in his eyes.

"Pore kid. It's not easy losing a parent." Said Charlotte.

Mdm. Satine asked, "You have sympathy for that puppet? It's probably because of him that we have a lot of kidnapped maidens."

Charlotte asked, "Would've you done the same? I was almost like Pinocchio when mom and dad left. Renee handle it better than I did."

Jessica said, "She got us there."

Charlotte said, "Any I have a mission to finish. Turn speaking off for now." She pressed a button to turn it off. "Pinocchio said that he misses his father a lot. Is there anything I can give him to comfort him?" She walked up to the chest in the room, and put the wooden doll head in the slot and got the wooden train locomotive. Once in the kitchen, she put the 2 wooden train parts on the chest in the left corner and inside was a parable piece and a note. This time from the father. 'Dear Pinocchio, I have always been proud to call you my son. My hope is for you to be the honest and kind boy that I know you are deep down. Don't blame yourself for my death and take care of your mother for me. Love, your dad, Geppetto.' She took the note went upstairs to the bedroom where Pinocchio was crying. "I think I found something else that might interest you."

She showed him the note. "This…this letter is from my father. He's always believed that I am a kind and honest boy at heart. I can't believe it. Listen, we must stop my mother. My dad wouldn't want Cinderella to be sacrificed for his revival." He handed her a key. "Jere's the key to my cottage. Let's go save your friend and stop my mother."

Charlotte said, "Let's go this."

They ran downstairs and used the key to open the door. As they stepped out, Pinocchio looked to the left and pointed up. "Detective, look!"

Both look at the castle and at one of the windows, there was Kathrine. Then behind her was Amelia and she pulled here away by her hair. "Let go of me!"

Pinocchio said, "We've got to go save that girl! She might be Cinderella. Let's hurry to the castle now!"

Chapter 6

At the castle door, Charlotte placed the castle emblem into its place and the 2 walked inside and entered the foyer. Inside the castle it was empty. "It's too quiet. Stay close to me Pinocchio." He nodded. Charlotte walked up to the right corner near some crystal and treasure and found and put together a glass crown. After that she walked over though the door on the left and saw that they were in a dressmaking workshop. Inside was a showing machine, a giant mirror, and 2 tables. "So, SHE'S the one that made all of those red riding hood cloaks." She walked over to the table on the left and picked up the goddess' tears and then near some dresses and the cloak was sparkles. There she found and put together a brass blowtorch. "This is new."

They return to the foyer and moved forward to the puppet factory. Pinocchio said, "It's too dark in here. Does those glasses help you see in the dark?"

Charlotte shook her head. "My eyes are bad enough as they are. In fact, I need to get them checked when I get back." She checked the dead puppet of Kathrine and picked up a bronze dragonfly. Then she walked up to the mechanism and picked up a pair of tongs. Back at the foyer, she picked up the last parable piece for the Handmaidens of the Maiden Goddess. Handmaidens of the Maiden Goddess: Forbidden to directly interfere with the mortal world, the Maiden Goddess decided to choose a pure-hearted maiden with magical powers to act as her handmaiden. Upon her handmaiden, she bestowed the power to detect "Cinderellas" and gave her the Magic Glass Wand. With this powerful magical tool, the handmaiden could wield powerful magic. The handmaiden's primary duty is to seek out and aid "Cinderellas". In time her good deeds were known to all, and she came to be called "Godmother". After the first Godmother died, the Maiden Goddess chose another to take her place. Thus, the tradition has carried on to the present day. Each handmaiden expressed their magic in different ways. For example, one Godmother was skilled at dressmaking, so she liked to imbue her magic in the clothes she made. When the Maiden Goddess saw that the latest Godmother had turned evil, she took away the Godmother's powers and confiscated the Magic Glass Wand. In her disappointment at her handmaiden's betrayal, the Maiden Goddess vowed never to pick another handmaiden again.

Pinocchio looked and read the parable. "Well that explains how the fairy Godmother are created."

Charlotte said, "It does a lot And I was right. Which means Sleepy Beauty: Briar Rose, Frog Prince: Ivy, Snow Queen/White: her mother, Piper: the real one, Red Riding hood: The Queen, and here is the Maiden Goddess."

Pinocchio asked, "Any idea what the future ones will be like?"

Charlotte said, "You're guess is as good as mine. I'm still figuring the vision power out. The finding stuff power is very easy, it's where the parts our that's a pain in the butt. Whoever has the parts can spread then anywhere they want." She placed the fire emblem on the inset to unlock the fireplace and used the tongs to get the large gear. Once back at the puppet factory, Charlotte used the brass blowtorch to remove the grill and then used the large gear. The panel opened for a mini-game. Once done, the whole place lit up. "Wow. This really is a factory. I thought was old school."

Pinocchio said, "Can't believe everything the books tell you."

'No shit.' Charlotte thought. The 2 walked into the door to the right into the puppet laboratory. Inside there where plans and sketches of everything: The beast, Pinocchio, and the Riding Hood HQ. On the chair, she took the floral clothing piece, then on the desk there was a bronze butterfly. After that near the mechanism, she took a bobbin and a parable piece. Once back at the foyer, the 2 walked up to a statue. First, she got the brush and then put the bronze butterfly and dragonfly in the box in the statue's hands. When it opened, was a hair of glass earrings. After that, they went to the dressmaking workshop and walked up to the sewing puppets. She put the bobbin in place and a secret compartment opened for a wood gouge. Then they return to the puppet laboratory and went to the desk and used the wood gouge on the log. Luckily it was hollow and using the brush it turns out inside was a glass witch hat.

Pinocchio said, "Man you weren't kidding about your brain map."

Charlotte said, "I know but I wasn't using it. It's just the design of the house. If I was using it, I would've gotten a mega headache." The 2 made it back to the puppet factory and went to the 2 statues that were blocking the way to the top of the castle. She put the glass spell-book and the witch hat on the statue on the right, and the glass crown and earrings on the statue on the left. Once the statues moved out of the way, the 2 walked up the stairs.

On the top of the castle, there was a casket of the puppet version of Geppetto, a giant hallow-graphic clock in the sky, and Kathrine, but no Amelia. Pinocchio ran to Kathrine. "It's OK. Let me untie you." Then the orb in his chest glowed and Kathrine transformed. Her regular clothes changed into a detached white sleeve, blue and gold bodice with a white skirt that fades to blue at the end, parting in the middle. She also wears white tights, glass slippers, and her long locks in front are wrapped in blue ribbons. As a Cinderella, Katherine has certain innate personality traits. She is kind, helpful, wise, brave and courageous. She never resorts to violence and tries her best to help everyone she meets. She always works hard, no matter what task she's given.

Then Amelia appeared and grabbed her from behind and took her away from the 2 at the far end of the roof. "Thank you, Pinocchio. Your Cinderella detector tells me that this girl is 'Cinderella'. Now, I can sacrifice her and revive my husband."

Pinocchio ran to them. "No wait! Don't hurt her!" But Amelia used her powers to break the floor under Pinocchio, making him fall. Charlotte couldn't catch him.

"Goodbye, Detective!" She used her powers again and this time, sharp glass crystals appear blocking Charlotte's path to Kathrine and Amelia.

Chapter 7

"Well this is great." Charlotte looked at the giant clock and saw she has 15 minutes to save Kathrine. "To save Kathrine, I must figure out a way to dispel or neutralize the magical barrier." She turned on the ear piece so her co-workers can talk to her. "Any ideas?" She heard nothing. "Having shock faces?" Still nothing. "I'll take that as a yes." She first picked up a pumpkin carriage figure next to the coffin, took the wooden flower from the coffin, and then looked into the hole. "It's too dark to look in there. Where could he have gone?" Charlotte picked up the Crystal heart goes next to the hole, and then saw sparkles next to the statue. There she found and put together an angel mirror ornament.

That she returned to the dressmaking workshop, went to the table on the left, put the wooden carriage in place of the crystal ball, and a secret compartment opened. Inside was a small net and bag for the fireflies. Then again, she sees sparkles near the dresses and sound and put together a demon mirror ornament. Then her mental compass told her to go back to the cottage. Once there on the desks she saw sparkles and put together a golden box inlay. Next up was the kitchen. And there she put together a lily. Once I was done, Charlotte walked up to the mirror, and put the demon and the Angel mirror ornaments in their places. Some stairs are revealed to a loft. Possibly Geppetto's hiding place. On the desk that caught her eye first was the book. It reads: there was a crooked man and he walked to crooked mile. He found a cricket sixpence upon a crooked stile. He bought a cricket cat which cutter crooked mouse. And they all live together in a little crooked house.

Charlie was confused. And as visions are was a figure, but she you didn't know I have all the fairytale like this. She's not familiar with nursery rhymes. But she'll find out soon enough. After reading the book, she found the last floral clothing collection, to unlock the Cinderella story, but as of now she has not time to put it together. She put the little flower in the empty vase, and the drawer open. She took the grille handle and left the cottage. When she was outside the castle, she heard a scream. It was Katherine in pain. "Katherine just screamed in pain. I must up godmother from taking her soul."

She made it back to the logging site, use a small bed and neck to get some fireflies, and put all the floral clothing collections on the doll. Her clothes changed from a simple pink floral tutu, a flower crown and a gorgeous flower necklace and wears a royal blue ball gown which has quite a lot of flowers on it. Charlotte open to see the next Cinderella story. Bianca Pace, The Fourth Cinderella: Once, there was a girl named Bianca whose beauty and kind nature attracted many suitors. Her stepmother feared that her own daughters would not be able to find any husbands, so she had a witch imprison Bianca in a cursed tower. One day, a Prince happened to pass by the tower and saw that Bianca was trapped. He broke into the tower, freeing Bianca, but fell prey to a curse which transformed him into a hideous ogre. Feeling responsible for the Prince's plight, Bianca journeyed to find a cure for the Prince. After many trials and tribulations, she found Godmother, who helped her brew a curse-breaking potion. Bianca used the potion to restore the Prince to his human form, and he married Bianca. They lived happily ever after. As with all Cinderellas, Bianca possesses a pure heart and the virtues of courage, honesty, kindness and persistence.

When the story was over, and the doll was completed, Charlotte got a marble gem. Charlotte returned to the glass wasteland, and walked up to a hole in the tree. She put the fireflies in there, and saw a European clothing collection, and a golden box. She took the item, and put the inlay and then the marble gym on the box. Inside she got enchanted orb. After that, she made it to the puppet laboratory, and use the handle on the grilled mechanism. Once the grill went away, she grabbed the lightning essence and hurried into the dress making workshop. Charlotte looked up to the table in the closet, took a parable piece, put the goddess' tears on the left cup, and the lightning essence in the right cup. Then she put it in enchanted orb in the center slot, and finally the Crystal heart in the inset. It power of the orb into the orb of magic at notification. "Now to save Katherine."

She made it to the roof, but it was too late. It was already midnight. She is the orb of magic nullification, on the spike glasses went away. "Spirits, heed my call." Said Amelia. "Accept this pure Cinderella soul." The clock began to glow and Kathrine was slowly turned into glass. "Restore my beloved to this mortal realm." A read light went from Kathrine and went into the puppet version of Geppetto.

The puppet slowly opened his eyes and got up from his coffin. "I have return!"

Amelia ran to her husband with glee. "Geppetto…my love…You're back!"

But he wasn't the same Geppetto. At least not anymore. "Amelia, hand over your Soul Necklace at once! I need it to rise my army of puppets."

He forced it out of her neck which harmed her. Apparently without it, she body started to deteriorate. "Please, love, don't do this." She held her shoulder, and disappeared crying.

Geppetto, or the Puppet Master now, got the rock. "The Soul Necklace is mine!" He started to laugh as shoulder puppets started to appear.

Chapter 8

"Behold my magnificent army! With unlimited puppets at my disposal, we cannot fail! Your world will be mine!" He yelled.

"If I don't leave now, the Puppet Master and his puppets will attack me." She said.

Charlotte made it to the factory with the Puppet Master and his puppets right behind her. "Those humans will rue the day they killed me." Then she arrived at the foyer. The Puppet Master nodded his head to the left with the dressmaking workshop.

She made it to the room and saw Amelia walk through the mirror. "I have nowhere else to run. I'd better follow Godmother and escape through her mirror portal." She made it through just in time before it closed. "Just in time." She checked in on her colleagues. "Is everyone OK back there? Enjoying the show?"

Mdm. Satine said, "We already got the popcorn."

Jessica said, "This is better than some of the Bs slasher movies."

Charlotte giggled. "Well I hope you enjoy the show." She saw sparkles on the right table and where she found and put together a Rose Perfume. Once at the grand hall, Kathrine's sister, Cyrilla was unglass. "Thank goodness you're alright."

Cyrilla said, "Thank you for saving me, Detective. Take this and please save my sister, Kathrine." She handed Charlotte a red bow tie.

Charlotte said, "I will. Listen, stay outside incase it's gets crazy in there. Lock the doors just in case." Cyrilla nodded and ran out. She walked upstairs to the dressing room and saw the crystal on the closet door was gone. But first she added all 4 of the royal clothing on the doll unlocking the second Cinderella story. Changing the dolls dress from a simple girl into a fancier version of it with an umbrella. Agnes Koch, The Second Cinderella: There was once a Queen whose beauty was unparalleled. Before she died, she made her King promise never to marry anyone uglier than herself. Years passed, and the King found that the only person beautiful enough to be his bride was his daughter Agnes. Horrified by her father's plan to marry her, Agnes fled. Along the way, she met Godmother, who used her magic to send Agnes to a faraway land, where she would be safe from her father's pursuit. Upon arriving, Agnes saved a frog from being devoured by a giant snake. Impressed by her bravery, the frog made his identity known - he was the cursed Frog Prince of the Black Forest. Agnes married the Prince, and they lived happily ever after until her death. As a Cinderella, Agnes was hardworking and brave with a good heart. Based on the shrine the Frog Prince built in her memory, she enjoyed reading and was very intelligent.

As a reward she got a puppet heart. Then she saw sparkles at the suitcase and found and put together a grapefruit perfume. After that, Charlotte made it to the grand hall and walked up to the door on the left. First, she used the puppet key to open the puppet's chest and then added the puppet heart as it opened it door into the control room.

Once inside, she took the last European clothing part for the doll from the chair, then went to the puppet and put the red bow tie on the puppet. It came to life and said, "My master will take over the world! You can't stop him!" Luckily, its strings were tangled so the puppet had nowhere to go. It handed her a wheel button, the Plumeria perfume and Charlotte moved on.

On the desk, she took the olive branch handle and the parable piece to unlock another story. The Evil Godmother: Chosen by the Maiden Goddess to be "Godmother", Amelia traveled the world in search of Cinderellas. She aided many Cinderellas, and in return, the Cinderellas treated Amelia as if she were their real mother. One day, while on her travels, she met the woodcarver Geppetto. It was love at first sight. They got married and spent many blissful years together. However, their happiness was not to last. Upon returning home after one of her journeys, she discovered that her husband had been killed. The shock was to great, and she descended into madness. Desperately, she hatched a crazy plan - she would find the Final Cinderella and use her soul, together with the Soul Necklace, to bring Geppetto back to life. To find Cinderella, Amelia installed the Cinderella detector in her son, Pinocchio. She also created cursed ball gowns and glass slippers. If a girl who was not Cinderella wore her cursed clothes, she would turn into a glass maiden at midnight. Heedless of the suffering she caused to innocent girls and to her son, Pinocchio, Amelia single-mindedly devoted her life to reviving her husband. She became known as the evil Godmother.

Charlotte made it to the foyer of the mansion and added the handle to the closed door. On the other side of the door, it was the laundry room filled with wet clothes and very green and smelly water. On the while was an oriental clothing collection then she added the while. Unfortunately, it released the mouse that was in the wheel. "Freedom huh mouse?" She grabbed the cheese token and return to the ballroom. She went to the table on the left and used the cheese token to unlock the cheese. Once she got it, she made it back to the laundry room and broke it into pieces to get the mouse back in the while and she locked it. Once the while started turning, the green water went away and Charlotte found the sandalwood perfume. But she also noticed that the cursed dresses were gone. "The ball gowns disintegrated! What's happening?"

Once back it the control room, it was time to put all the perfumes in place. First was the Sandalwood Perfume, then Plumeria, then Grapefruit, and finally Rose. A secret compartment open and Charlotte grabbed the wardrobe key. Then Charlotte made it back to the dressing room and used the key to unlock the door. Inside was Amelia with more wrinkles and very weak. She didn't have much time left. She said, "I'm sorry – all I wanted was to revive my husband. He was a good man, you know, before he was corrupted by the Evil trees and turned into the Puppet Master. Detective, please find the Magic Glass Wand and defeat my husband so that he may return to his old self." She held up a sapphire pendant for the fountain. "Also, take this. It might be useful to you." Then she died.

Chapter 9

Charlotte said, "I'll do what I can." She returns to the balcony and found and put together a silver drum from the table. Then she left the mansion and went to the courtyard and then went to the grand fountain. She found and put together a treble clef and put the sapphire pendent on the statue in the blue dress. She fixed the lights on them and the glass wall went away. On the other side she saw the original pumpkin carriage, and another mirror. She picked up the music note and another parable piece and return to the courtyard. Charlotte put the 2 notes on the piano and got a right mouse fragment for the carriage. Once back at the ruins, she found and put together an oriental fan for the doll collection.

Then she picked up the Goddess Crown Jewel and made it back to thermae. There the mirrors told another story. It was before Geppetto died. "Geppetto, love, you haven't eaten for days."

"Go away, woman! Don't bother me!"

When it was over Charlotte said, "So he did change. But how? It must have to do something with those trees." She made it back to the ancient theatre and put the clothes on the doll there completing another Cinderella story. Ella Blom, The First Cinderella: Once upon a time, there was a "Cinderella" named Ella. After her father died, she was sent to work in the kitchen by her stepmother. One day, news came that the Prince had decided to hold a ball. All the girls in the kingdom were invited, but Ella was forbidden to go. Forlornly, Ella made a wish that she could join her stepsisters at the ball. Hearing her desperate plea, Godmother appeared. She transformed a pumpkin and mice into a beautiful horse-drawn carriage. Then, Ella's rags were transformed into a stunning ball gown and glittering glass slippers. Arriving at the ball, Ella immediately captured the Prince's attention. He fell in love with her gentle nature, and they got married and lived happily ever after. As with all Cinderellas, Ella possesses a pure heart and the virtues of courage, honesty, kindness and persistence.

As a reward, Charlotte got the Golden Horn. Thanks to it, she made it back to the path of ruins and put the Golden Horn and Silver Drum on the door. After solving an easy mini-game (so easy it's laughable), the doors open to the grotto temple and on the floor was Pinocchio. Charlotte ran to him. "Pinocchio! Wake up! Wake up Pinocchio! You're not inside of a whale yet!" Pinocchio woke up and stood up. "Pinocchio! I thought I would never see you again!"

Pinocchio said, "Detective, you saved me again! The Magic Glass Wand will help us get back to the Forbidden Grove!"

Charlotte asked, "Any idea where it might be?"

Pinocchio said, "I honestly have no idea where it might be. The Maiden Goddess got a hold of it and maybe hid it or something." His nose didn't grow this time.

Charlotte stood up. "Alright. Well I'm putting my finding things skills to the test to find it. Rest here for a while. Once you're ok, meet me at the pumpkin carriage." Pinocchio nodded. She walked over to a fallen plaque and picked up the Left Pumpkin Fragment and took the Long Hook and left to go to the ancient theatre again. This time, she was up to the mirror tree and used the long hook to get the Floral Globe. Then she made her way all the way back to the floral garden and placed the Floral Globe in the chest that was in the bushes. When it opened she got the Queen Emblem. After that, she made it to the carriage and put the mouse and the pumpkin fragment on the pumpkin carriage door and it opened. Inside was the Goddess Emblem.

Then Charlotte made it back to the grotto temple and walked up to the podium and put the Goddess emblem including the crown piece in place and story slabs appeared. The first one was a tree that had the faces of the Godmothers. "After Godmother Amelia turned evil, the Maiden Goddess decided to not choose any more Godmothers." She took the Green Runeshard and added the King Emblem in place. The slab went away for another one. This time it was Ivy kissing the Frog Prince. "The final Godmother helped many Cinderellas, including Agnes, who married the Frog Prince." Charlotte placed the Bishop Emblem and the slab went away for another one. This time it was a map of the world. "As part of their duties, Godmothers travel the world to help Cinderellas in different countries." She adds the Knight Emblem and it went away for another slab. This time it had Amelia and Geppetto. "Godmother Amelia met a kind-hearted woodcarver on her travels and fell in love with him." She took the tulip and placed the Queen Emblem on the panel. Then it changed for the final time. It had a picture of the Maiden Goddess alter but completed. "The Maiden Goddess took back the Magic Glass Wand from Godmother Amelia and hid it in her temple."

On the slab was the Crystal Orb. She took it and put it in the statue's hands and a compartment opened and the Magic Glass Wand appeared. That's when Pinocchio ran off. "Pinocchio ran out without me. I should follow him to the pumpkin carriage. Wait up!"

Chapter 10

Charlotte caught up to Pinocchio who was sitting in the carriage. "You know if you don't want to be a real boy, you would win a lot of gold medals at the Olympics."

Pinocchio chucked as he saw Charlotte out of breath. "Anyway, the pumpkin carriage has enough energy for only one trip. Have you got everything you need? Check your mental compass."

Charlotte checked her stuff, and then her mental compass. "Got everything." She used the Magic Glass Wand on the carriage and a magic horse appeared ready to pull it.

Charlotte got inside the carriage. Pinocchio said, "Come on, Detective! Let's go!" Soon the magic horse took the carriage inside the mirror and the 2 were in the portal back to the mirror world.

They made it to the castle and the Puppet Master was waiting. "You'll never stop me!" He summoned more puppets. "Puppets, dispose of this nuisance!" Luckily, they weren't moving. The 2 made it to the Glass Wasteland. A puppet was there but again it wasn't moving. At the fallen statue, Charlotte found and put together a rose for the last fairy.

The 2 quickly made it to the logging sight and walked up to the 3 colored fairies. "You 2 should've been in the Sleepy Beauty one. The Disney one would've made more sense." She gave them the lily, the tulip, and the rose to each of the fairies and they left which made the roots that were blocking the way, to the main evil tree.

The 2 walked up to it and it was a red ugly tree with red writing and skeletons all over it. Didn't take long to piece the puzzle together. Inside the tree was Kathrine's soul. Pinocchio said, "To stop my father, we should destroy the Evil Tree first."

Charlotte nodded. But first she picked up a Golden Rooster and a parable piece to complete another story. Geppetto and Pinocchio: There was once a woodcarver named Geppetto, who traveled the world in search of wood suitable to carve his puppet masterpiece. One day, his wife Amelia brought him wood from the Forbidden Grove, with which he carved a puppet named Pinocchio. To his surprise, the puppet came to life. Pinocchio was shunned by villagers for being a sentient puppet, so he started telling lies to get people's attention. Seeing his son's loneliness, Geppetto spent several months in the Forbidden Grove carving a giant wooden Beast to act as his son's companion and protector. The time Geppetto spent in the Grove corrupted him, and he grew obsessed with carving puppets, even neglecting his family for the sake of creating more puppets. The villagers grew afraid of Geppetto and his creepy puppets, so they had him put to death. Devastated, Pinocchio blamed himself for his dad's death. He decided to redeem himself by searching for Cinderella, so that he might help his mother revive his dad.

After Charlotte said, "Basically this is a fairy tale version of hell until I see something worst."

Pinocchio said, "That's long and short of it. I'll wait here. The puppets here won't attack me."

Charlotte said, "You got it." Charlotte ran to the pumpkin far and saw the wooden beast was gone. "Recruited by the Puppet Master huh?" First, she found and put together a Fire Scepter Handle, then walked up to the beanstalk. There was a long giant green plant all the way up to a castle and large footprints. "Next is Jack the Beanstalk. Am I stalk up?"

Mdm. Satine said, "Everything including the crappy ones."

Jessica said, "Basically, you're good."

"Good." She grabbed the last clothing collection for the last doll, walked up to the beanstalk stump and put the golden rooster on the egg and got the Glass Slipper Gem and finally got the last parable piece for the last story. The Forbidden Grove: Deep inside the Mirror World lies a grove of trees filled with great spiritual power. This magical grove can only be accessed by means of specially enchanted mirrors. Long ago, a band of thieves found one of these mirrors and entered into the Mirror World to plunder its treasures. However, they were caught and executed in the magical grove. In death, their souls lingered, corrupting the trees with their hatred and greed. The trees became twisted and deformed, and the grove came to be known as the Forbidden Grove. It is said that if a pure-hearted person created a puppet with wood from these trees, the puppet would be given a soul and come to life. However, if the puppet maker had a tainted heart, the puppet would be soulless. Those who spend too much time in the Forbidden Grove will gradually become corrupted by the thieves' souls and the Evil Trees. Only the Magic Glass Wand is able to purify the Grove.

"This explains Geppetto's sudden attitude change." Charlotte ran to the Whispering Forest and placed the Glass Slipper Gem in the carriage's seat inset and an orange fire appeared. She added the handle and it became the Fire Scepter.

Charlotte ran to the evil tree and threw it at the tree. "Hurry up, Detective!" As the tree caught on fire the evil puppets soon collapse and Kathrine's soul was released.

The soul returned to the body and Kathrine was freed. "Thank you, Detective. Thank you, little boy, for rescuing me."

But unfortunately, Pinocchio wasn't feeling so well. He was growing weak as he grabbed his chest and was breathing heavying. "I was made from the wood in this grove so my life force is weakening too. Just leave me here, Detective. Go defeat the Puppet Master and restore my dad back to his old self."

Charlotte couldn't get to Pinocchio cause of the fire. "When this is over me or Kathrine will come back. Don't burn to a crisp." She ran back to the cottage and to the bedroom and dressed the last Cinderella doll. Shan Mao, The Third Cinderella:

Once upon a time, there was a Princess in the East named Shan. She had a kind and generous spirit, and all her people loved her. Shan had a stepsister named Chi, who was deeply jealous of Shan's popularity. Chi was always playing cruel tricks on Shan, but Shan never bore any ill will toward Chi. One day, Chi discovered that her beloved Prince had fallen in love with Shan. In her fury, she used her magic to change Shan into a nine-tailed fox. When the Prince came to visit Shan, he found out about Shan's predicament. With Godmother's help, he managed to restore Shan to her human form. He married Shan, and they lived happily ever after. As with all Cinderellas, Shan possesses a pure heart and the virtues of courage, honesty, kindness and persistence. Even in the face of her stepsister Chi's cruelty, Shan still exhibits kindness and grace to all - even Chi, herself.

As a reward, Charlotte for the Yellow Runeshard. Now she's missing at least 2 more. Then her mental compass told her to make it back to the corridor of the castle. There she found and put together the Blue Runeshard. After that before she moved forward, she noticed something. "Where are the puppets?"

Once on the roof, the Puppet Master called for some reinforcements. "Beast, get rid of this detective!" That's when the wooden beast appeared, luckily it was stuck. Charlotte ran to some sparkles at a statue nearby and found and put together the Red Runeshard. She placed them on the Wooden Beast and after unlocking it, it turns out that Geppetto made a 'just in-case' puzzle. All she needs to do is to rotate the tiles to connect the wires between same colored runeshards. Once they were all matched the Wooden Beast went away. "This can't be happening!" Just then the Puppet Master charged Charlotte but Charlotte used the Glass Wand in the nick of time. It causes the body to collapse and as it lay on the floor, Geppetto's soul came out and he was back to normal but full of regret. "What have I done? I almost destroyed this world and the next."

Just then Amelia, in her GOOD Godmother form, and as a ghost, appeared next to him. "It's okay, Geppetto, my love. Everything's turned out fine in the end. Now, we can be together forever."

Then Geppetto yelled, "Pinocchio! Where's our son?" That's when Kathrine appeared next to Charlotte hold Pinocchio's lifeless body. Geppetto and Amelia walked up to him. "We must save our son, Amelia." Amelia nodded. Then both of their souls turned into balls of light and entered into Pinocchio's orb turning him into a real boy.

After that, Pinocchio woke up alive, well, and real. "I…I have a real body!" Kathrine put him down as Pinocchio started to cry. He already knew what happened to his parents. "Thank you, Mom, Dad. I love you both!"

Kathrine smiled at Charlotte. "It's OK, Detective. I'll look after Pinocchio."

Just then Charlotte felt funny. "Here I go again." Her eyes glowed green as everything turn black. This time only 2 visions. The first one of what will happen 15 years later. In that vision there was a statue, in tribute of Geppetto and Amelia, in a flowery garden and standing in front of the statue was an adult Pinocchio holding Kathrine's hand. In the second vision, Charlotte star the beanstalk as it traveled all the way to the top to a beautiful castle, too small for a giant, but big enough to hide a giant secret.

The Oriental Cinderella

Charlotte woke up and this time she was in Pinocchio's bed, don't know she fit in it since she was 5 foot 3 inches she did. Pinocchio and Kathrine saw her woke up. Kathrine asked, "Are you alright?"

Charlotte sat up and moved her legs off the bed so she wouldn't get stuff. "Yeah I'm fine. That's the second time that has happened."

Pinocchio said, "No wonder you said you have a hard time with your second powers. You're eyes glowed green and then you went down. Weird part is, we saw your visions."

Charlotte shot up. "What?!" she yelled. "That never happened before."

Kathrine said, "It must have something to do with this grove. That or it's Amelia's magic. When we brought you here, your head turned sharply to the doll of Shan Mao."

Charlotte rubbed the back of her neck. "That explains the soreness."

Pinocchio said, "That's not the half of it." He pulled out a book. "You walked up to it, press on the doll and these popped out." Pinocchio gave it to Charlotte and as Charlotte looked at the diary and a parable book, her eyes glowed green again. "Oh boy, another show." Though Charlotte's glasses, HQ was watching the story too.

A long, long time ago, in an Eastern land far, far away, there lived a pure hearted princess named Shan. She fell in love with a Prince from another land. Now, the Prince is on his way to pay Princess Shan a surprise visit. Thus, our adventure begins...

The Prince was on his way to meet his love. He opened his letter, which also has his love's picture, and read it. 'My dear Prince, my answer is yes, I would to marry you! There is nothing I want more then to spend the rest of my life with you. The only thing that lessens my joy is my stepsister Chi. She wants you for herself and will stop at nothing to ruin our plans for marriage. Please be careful, my love. Counting the days until I see you again. Love always, Princess Shan.'

The Prince put the letter down and saw a broken carriage, skeletons, and lots and lots of cobwebs. There was also a warning in fire for the prince to stay away. Strangely there was a boll of light leading the Prince beyond the village gate and at the end of the path there were glowing red eyes. "A ghostly fire is floating slowly ahead of me. Is it trying to guide me somewhere?" he asked himself. He looked at the floor again and saw something that looks like a fox ear. "Strange." He took it anyway as if something was telling him to take it anyway. What was also strange was that he was seeing sparkles near an area. "The heck." He walked up to the Buddha statue and saw broken parts. He found and put together a Silver Phoenix. Once that was done, he screws his courage to the sticking place and walked forward.

A couple of things caught his eyes, the Blazing Mountain, a cottage, a water fall, and 4 glowing red eyes in the bushes. "Glowing red eyes are glaring at me from the bushes. What manner of creature is it?" He first grabbed the Eternal knot from the village sign and walked up to the cottage. The door was covered in webs and the only way to get rid of them was to use acid. He took the Golden Dragon and made it back to the valley entrance. He walked up to an urn shrine and added the Golden Dragon and the Silver Phoenix and it opened up. While one item was yet to fix, the Prince too the Corrosive Liquide and return back to the cottage.

He used the liquid on the webs and walked inside. Inside the cottage was a woman in white, brown hair, and a wand. It was Amelia, BEFORE she turned evil. "I am Amelia, Princess Shan's Godmother. Your fiancée Shan has been imprisoned in the Blazing Temple by her stepsister Chi. Prove to me that you are worthy enough to marry Shan. Go save her."

The Prince brought out the fox ear. "I found this near the valley entrance. What is it?"

Amelia answered, "It's called a parable piece. It is almost like a puzzle and when all the pieces are collected, secrets will appear. That's the long and short of it. As for their origin, I'm afraid I don't know."

"And the sparkles?" asked the Prince.

She replied, "It's possible that the Maiden Goddess chosen you to temporarily have those powers that can lead you to items that need you to put together to save Shan. Please no more questions. The sooner we save her the better. You're welcome to take what you need from this house. Oh and you need this." She handed him the Dragon Gate Shield.

The Prince agreed. First, he found the Panda Embossment then he entered the kitchen. There he took the Bedroom key from a small box and then went to a small stage which yet had doll characters and took the Cage Key. Finally on the stovetop, there he found a Gate Shield Insignia. Then he remembered something. "The carriage." He ran back to the valet entrance and walked up to the busted carriage and there he found a Phoenix Figure. He placed the Panda Embossment on the box and inside was the Red Carp Ornament and a Yang Symbol. Then he rushed back to the cottage and walked up to the bedroom door. He added the Eternal Knot and then used the Key. Once inside, what caught his eye the most was the dress on the bed. He walked up to it and held it in his hands. "When Shan showed up at the ball wearing this stunning dress. I thought that an angel had appeared." After holding the dress and remembering that night, he suddenly remembered what he still needs to do. He placed the dress back at the bed and began his work. First, he went toe the birdcage and took the Gate Shield Gem, and then went to a small box on a table. He put the red and black carp ornament and took the Floor Carving Symbol.

Then he returned to the valley outside and walked up to the gate. Be put the Dragon Gate Shield, the Gate Shield Insignia, and the Gate Shield Gem on the door. After solving the gate lock puzzle the door opened. At the other side of the gate there was a tree with a carved Yin-Yang, 3 tarantulas, a man tied up in a web, a trail of lava, and at the top of the mountain the temple. "Help!" yelled the man.

"I'll save you! Try not to panic in front of the spiders." The man nodded as he calmed his breathing. First the Prince took a ribbon that was on the tree, then gently walked around the spiders and reached for the second parable piece. Then he rushed back to the bedroom and walked to the birdcage and unlocked it using the key. Then he wrapped the ribbon around the bird's feet and carried it ack to the blazing mountain. Once he let the bird go, it chased and someone ate the spiders away. Once that was done, the Prince ran up to the man, and tried to cut the web. "Damn it's like the one on the door. But at least I don't need to use acid for this one. I'll be right back."

First, he walked up to the plaque and found and put together an Elegant Hammer and grabbed the grape token. Once back the cottage, Amelia asked, "Have you made it to the temple yet?"

The Prince said, "Not yet. On the way there, a man was wrapped up in webs guarded by 3 tarantulas. Tried to free the man but the web is too strong. If you want you can fallow me to the mountain top."

Amelia said, "Alright, but once I'm there I have to stay there until you free Shan." The Prince nodded.

But before he can get to the top of the mountain he has some things to do and the first one was to free the man. He walked up to the chest, took the rivet, place the Grape Token in the chest, took the Trigram 3, and did a mini-puzzle to unlock it and got the Floor Carving Circle. Then he entered the kitchen and used the rivet and the elegant hammer to fix the shears. "Got what I needed, next stop the mountain." He said.

He made it to the blazing mountain and The Prince used the shears on the web to free the man. "Thanks! I'm Geppetto. Let me give you this orb in return for saving me." He gave it to the Prince. "This giant spider came out of nowhere and stole my Magical Fan. I made the fan especially, to extinguish the undying fires of Blazing Mountain."

The Prince said, "I'll get the fan back, but until then…ugh there's no safe place with a giant spider around is there?" Geppetto shook his head. "Well where are you from anyway?"

"I'm from a foreign country far away from here. I've been traveling around the world in search of wood to create my puppet masterpiece. My next stop is the Blazing Mountain. However, without my Magical Fan, I cannot access it."

"Well count your lucky stars cause according to that plaque, that many explorers who perished on the Blazing Mountain." Said the Prince. "For now wait here." Soon the bird came back. "Keep the bird to keep away the spiders." Geppetto nodded. The Prince made to the valley in front of the waterfall and there guarding it was statues. He placed the Water and Moon tile in place and the waterfall parted to reveal a cave. As soon as he went inside, he got the shock if his life. It was Chi. In her spider witch form, Chi sprouts a layer of grey spider fur around her waist and tufts of spider fuzz on her elbows and wrists. Her sleeves are gold and ragged bits of fur edged with gold cover her shoulders. Her golden hair ornament turns deep pink, and four golden spider legs sprout from her skull. The last layer of her dress is covered in cobwebs. Chi's hands are brownish claws with long white nails. The biggest changes in her appearance are her glowing red eyes, and six large spider legs covered in grey fuzz sprouting from her back. Her human arms serve as the final pair, completing the spider's eight limbs. "Who is that? Is she the legendary Spider Queen?" Luckily the cave was dark so Chi couldn't see the prince. In the cave, there was a small mini castle. There was a tower shrine, a tablet about a witch turning humans into foxes or maybe Daji, a woman who was sent to be the emperor's concubine but was killed by a fox spirit and took over that body and nearly brought the end of China back in 1047 BC.

Well since it was dark enough and need to get Chi away from the 2 entrances, he grabbed a torch that wasn't lit and made it back to the blazing mountain. Geppetto saw that the Prince was pale white. "Are you alright? You look like you see a ghost."

The Prince said, "More likely the giant spider woman you were walking about." He lit up the touch using the flames from the lava and return to the waterfall cave. Using the torch, Chi let out an inhuman screech and fled but was still in the cave so he had to hurry fast if he doesn't want to be Chi's next mate including have his head eaten off like all spiders do. First, he walked up to the fox alter on the right and took the dragon figure and candle and walked up to the alter on the left showing the yin-yang symbol. There he found a pickax and walked up a flite of stairs to the web cave. "Where did the Spider Queen go?" he asked. All that was there was dead bodies, an upper alter, and an incomplete suites of costumes on 2 dead bodies.

Once up to the upper alter he saw notes, a broken mirror with writing on it and a picture of Shan, with her face burn off, and Chi in her human form. In her human form, Chi is a very beautiful Asian woman with a pale complexion, dark brown eyes and long black hair which she wears in a decorative plait. Her head dress is made up of a golden wing shaped ornament with six black beads (these are symbols of her six other spider eyes) meaning her 2 human eyes are the last 2 to make 8 eyes or she's a brown recluse which has 6 and its bite is more deadly, black fur wrapped in strands of gold, silvery grey twig-like ornaments and strands of blue woven into her plait. She wears a black and gold kimono with a white square neckline, a ruby emblem on her chest, a blue sash around her waist with a golden spider web pattern and a long strip of silver fabric running down the middle of her dress. The first and third layers and the sleeves of her outfit have a bright blue edge. It was a no-brainer that her second form was indeed a spider. One of the notes that was legible read, "How dare that Prince pick Shan over me! I will make them both suffer for this!"

When the prince saw the picture he said, "It looks like Chi really hates Shan. She tore Shan's face out of this picture." He picked up the Floor Carving Fragment and a parable pieces leaving one left and return to the waterfall cave. There, just before the doors, he placed the Floor Carving Symbol, the Floor Carving Circle, and the Floor Carving Fragment. The doors opened and he walked inside into the fan shrine. The fan was in pieces guarded by a bird-man thingy deity and the only way to free and fix the fan is to fine the 4 animal gods. The Prince picked up the Dancing Gentleman doll and walked up to the alter on the left, he got the Trigram 1 then licked on the left on the right, took the small shears and found the last parable piece which transformed into a book so the Prince can read it. The Tale of the Spider Witches: Once upon a time, there was a powerful witch who loved spiders. From her spider familiars, she gained the power to create venom and to shape-shift into a spider. The witch desired immortality, and she heard that the neighboring country kept in its royal vaults the secrets of the Tang monk, who was the most powerful monk of all time. Certain that she could decipher the monk's sacred writings, which are rumored to hold the secrets of immortality, she sent her daughter Chi to seduce the prince of this neighboring country. Chi put on her best finery and wore her best magical charms. Then, she set off to attract the prince's attention at the ball he was holding in honor of the new year. However, all of Chi's efforts were to no avail. Upon setting eyes on Chi's stepsister Shan, the prince immediately fell in love and paid no attention to any other girls at the ball. Incensed that her plans had failed, she punished Shan for stealing her prince by turning her into a nine-tailed fox. She also tried to kill the prince for slighting her. However, her plans failed, and she was sent into exile.

"Wow." Said the Prince. "Defiantly keep this." Then he left the cave, entered the cottage, went into the bedroom and used the small shears on the doll and found the dancing lady and the magical snowball. When he walked into the kitchen, he placed the 2 dolls on the stage on the counter and got the Empty Lantern. After that the. Prince went to the blazing mountain and used the magical snowball on a lava piece and used the pickax to get the Trigram 2 out. He made it back to the entrance and placed the Trigrams on the alter on the left, he got the tiger figure and the ladle.

Once back at the web cave, he walked to the skeletons and hanged the empty lantern and put the candle inside it. Then he walked went to the alcove on the stairs and there he found and put together a Tortoise Figure After that he walked back to the Shrine and placed the Phoenix, the Dragon, the Tiger, and the Tortoise figure in place and after solving a puzzle, he got the magical fan. He quickly ran to the cottage. He showed Amelia the fan. "I got the Magical Fan. It can help us getting to the temple."

Amelia asked, "Where did you find it?"

The Prince said, "Chi attacked Geppetto, the man I saved, and she stole it from him. I just got it now."

Amelia said, "Then I'm coming with you. Even I can't get through the holy fires."

After he found and put together the Dragon Phoenix Bracelet, and returning to the valley entrance to place it on the urn and to get the Mystical Symbol 1, and then found and put together a God of Good Fortune Statue, the 2 return to the blazing mountain. The Prince used the magical fan on the lava and it harden into a road. Amelia immediately ran up to the temple but not without catching the eye of the woodcarver. "Who is that vision of beauty?"

The Prince smiled. "That's Amelia, Shan's Fairy Godmother. You know, if you stay longer, you might get a chance to talk to her." That made Geppetto smiled. He found and put together a Chinese Opera Headgear and then walked up the road to the temple.

At the temple, there was Emelia, a blazing mountain with Shan, as a fox, trapped, a work shop, and a moral about Godmothers. "We must rescue Shan as soon as possible, or she will suffocate under the webs." The Prince walked up to his fox bride but Amelia stopped him. "Don't touch the flames or you'll be trapped too. Just focus on freeing Shan and stop Chi, I can defend the temple of spiders until she's dealt with."

The Prince looked sad. Ever since the ball and the letter all he wanted was to hold Shan. But just like other heroes, he has to work for it. He took the Chinese Opera Costume, the Yin Symbol and then checked the blazing tripod and took the trapdoor handle. He then returned to the foot of the mountain and put the Yin-Yang symbols on the tree and got the Chinese Opera Mask. Once back at the web cave, he put the opera costume and pieces on the skeletons, got the Butterfly Emblem and then Chi appear again. "Whoa! Chi just suddenly appear in front of me!" He quickly got out of there and went back to the fan shrine and walked up to the shelf. The Prince but the Bat and Butterfly symbol on the pot and got the Mystical Symbol 3 and the Flaming Sword Tang. Then he went back to the cottage and used the handle on the trapped door that was on the floor and got the Mystical Symbol 4 and the God of Prosperity Statue.

Soon enough he made it back to the blazing temple and put the mystical symbols on the tripod freeing Shan and getting the Spider Emblem. "Thank you, my love. My stepsister Chi is planning to use her magic to trick you into marrying her so she can take over your kingdom. You must stop her."

The Prince said, "According to legend, the only way you kill a spider demon is a flaming sword. I got some of the pieces but I'm missing a lot."

Then Amelia gave him something. "I found something that might help you defeat Chi. You must defeat Chi and restore Shan to her human form."

The Prince looked at weirdly but then remember something. "I know where the other pieces are. I'll be back." He ran to the cottage to the bedroom and placed the slipper on a box and when it opened, he got the God of Longevity Hat and the box was actually a toolbox. He rushed to the kitchen and placed the hat on the statue and the remaining 2 statues rose up and he got the Flaming Blade Fragment and after solving a mini-game he got the Flaming Sword Scabbard. "Now the 2 hardest parts." He went back to the web cave and saw that Chi was still there. But she was more focus on her appearance in the mirror then the prince. He managed to find and put together the Flaming Sword Hilt and when Chi left for a short time, he put the Spider Emblem on the jar and got the Sword Blade Mold. Luckily, he got out of there before Chi noticed.

Once back at the blazing mountain, he walked to the lava, placed the sword blade mold on the side and used the ladle to get the remaining ice and put it in the mold making it into the Flaming Blade Tip. Finally, he made it back to the temple and with the tool box and the pieces, he made the Flaming Sword. Once the sword was complete the 3 made it back to the web caves.

This time Chi was ready. She transformed into her spider form, and after a fierce battle, the prince stabbed the spider in the abdomen with the sword. The spider screeched and twitched but it died and disappeared. With that Shan returned back into her human form. "Are you hurt, my love? Thank you for saving me."

Amelia got her magic wand out. "Let me take a look at you, Shan." With her magic Shan's clothes changed into those that she wore at the ball but personally, to the Prince, it didn't matter what she was wearing. She was beautiful regardless. "There, you look as good as new. Prince, you have my blessings to marry Shan. May you live happily together forever."

Chi and her mother were banished from the kingdom, never to be heard from again. Princess Shan married her Prince with Godmother Amelia's blessings. Together with her new love Geppetto, Amelia continued to travel the world, fulfilling her duties as Godmother. Geppetto kept at his quest to find the perfect wood. Years later, Amelia gave her husband wood from the Forbidden Grove. Thus, the stage was set for the Puppet Master and the evil Godmother to be born.

When the story was over, Charlotte blinked and woke up. "Wow that was long." She said.

Pinocchio said, "I wonder why only Shan and not the others."

Charlotte said, "I can't answer that for you. That spider you saw, I've seen it before. In another vision about the very first golden child, the hero if the story went against the same spider that Chi but only sung it to sleep. But I honestly don't know which is first, Shan or Hansel and Gretel."

Kathrine asked, "You said 'Golden Child' right?" Charlotte nodded. "There was a story about a Golden Child defeating a witch but guessing from what we saw, I think it might be the same witch and spider."

Charlotte rubbed her forehead. "Oh no, not another one." Her eyes glowed again, but this time red. Everyone saw the bubble. In the bubble there was a music box. The music boxed opened and there was a noble and a common girl dancing though not holding each other, almost like they're out of reach. Then the music slowed down to something eviler and more menacing. Then the figures slowed down and turned human. The girl was in an old-fashion gown but the woman and the clothes looked like they were floating under water. And the man turned eviler, with a crooked grin and a cane. Next to him was a cat with 2 different colored eyes. Then the music box stopped and the vision zoomed out and saw that the music box was in someone's wrinkling hands. Then a giant person came into view with a haunting sound of an old woman's crackle and a goose sound. Then the vision was over.

Charlotte held her head as she got weak. Pinocchio said, "I think I know who that was." He ran off for a bit and then came back with the book. The same one in the workshop. He showed Charlotte the page and Charlotte opened an eye slightly.

Kathrine looked at the page and poem in confusion. "Crooked Man?"

Charlotte said, "I think it's nearly time on why my sister was never born with powers."
