Seven years after her birth, Magenta was in the castle library of Apple and Raven's castle, which used to be Queen Snow White's castle, reading a book.
"Figured I'd find you here," said Apple as she walked in.
"Why don't you go outside and have fun with everyone?" asked Apple as she looked out the window at some of her friends who had brought their kids over to play.
"My destiny is being the next Merlin, I have to learn as much as I can," said Magenta without looking away from the book.
"I used to think destiny was everything too, but it's not," said Apple.
"What do you mean, you followed your destiny and became Snow White," said Magenta as she looked at her finally.
"You know that's not true, I made my own destiny with Raven and became Queen Apple White, no poison apples or dwarfs involved," said Apple.
"And I mean that destiny is what you make of it, look at Scarlet's mother, Cerise, she is the daughter of the Big Badwolf and Red Riding Hood, they were supposed to be storybook enemies," said Apple.
"Just like you and mother Raven were supposed to be," said Magenta.
"Exactly, and Cedar was not supposed to turn human by a kiss, but she did," said Apple.
"All I'm saying, Magenta, is that your destiny might make you the next Merlin, but that does not mean you have to sacrifice the time you have with your family and friends, you're still just a kid," said Apple as she took the book from her daughter.
"And there are things you can't learn from a book," said Apple.
"You're right, thanks mother Apple," said Magenta as she gave her a quick hug before running out of the room.
"Nicely said," said Raven who had been listening in.
"Hopefully our next one won't be such a book lover," said Apple as she placed a hand on her own stomach.
"I still don't feel good about going to Camelot in a few days while you're pregnant," said Raven.
"You can teleport with you magic, if anything comes up I'll call you and you can poof back here, besides, your father could use a break from being the temporary ruler from your time staying here," said Apple before kissing her.
The End?
