Charming was very afraid. This angel had shown up for some unknown reason and had taken him somewhere. What did she want? Fear ran through his body as they flew through the night air. They landed at Shrek and Fiona's swamp. "What're we doing here?" he asked her spitefully. "You'll see!" she said quietly. They were invisible to the human and ogre eye at the minute. He saw Fiona sitting alone in the bedroom. There was a sad look on her face. The kids were asleep.
Charming felt a chill run up his spine at this. The angel felt it from his body. "What… happened here? That Fiona's looking like that for? It's like something really bad happened here!" he asked her. Her brown golden eyes had a deep look of sadness and regret in them. "Something did happen… to her husband. It was to do with a carriage accident. Some human rigged the wheels so that it would go out of control. Fiona and the kids survived unharmed but… he didn't make it! Things haven't been the same here since it happened." She told him, lips quivering. She shot a glance at him. She saw a small tear form in his eyes but disappeared. "Come! There is more to see!" she said to him holding out her hand. As they flew through the air once more, Charming's mind was very disturbed by what she'd told him. He also couldn't get Fiona's sad face out of his mind.
Meanwhile Fiona was at the hospital visiting Shrek. She wondered what Puss had done because Charming hadn't caused any further damage to them lately. "Don't worry. I'm sure he probably got banished from both kingdoms because of what happened. " he told her gently. He then stroked her face. He hoped that nothing would stop him from being with those he cared about in the future. But later Charming was standing on a high mountain top. He'd been left there for eternity to think on his crimes. Suddenly in the swamp the angel appeared to Fiona. She was a little startled but calmed down. "Who're you?" she asked curiously. The young girl smiled at her warmly. "My name is Marinnas. I'm an angel. I tried to change Charming's dark heart but things didn't work out." She told her gently. Her brown golden eyes were full of warmth. "I came to see you because your and your husband's hearts are full of pure love for yourselves and more so for others who aren't like you." She said as she glowed brightly. Fiona was unaware of what was going on. She and her family had gone back to the day of the carriage accident. Fiona then saw Marinnas with her. She watched the awful scene play out once more. But something was different. In the other carriage was Charming. Fiona watched as Charming was put in a body bag.
"Let's go now!" Marrinas said as they were back in the swamp once more. "That really didn't happen, did it? It was just a joke?" Fiona asked worriedly. Marinnas shook her head sadly. "No it wasn't a joke. The one I work for said it had to be done to a prince as vile as him!" she said as her eyes glowed. Suddenly Fiona felt drowsy and fell asleep. "Good! Now I can take her to the spirit world where my master and mistress are waiting to be freed!" she said as she vanished. Fiona's body lay limp on the floor but her soul, her entire being was with Marinnas right now.
This was a shock as Shrek came home from hospital. He was very worried about this. But in the spirit world Shrek's parents were watching this. "Soon we'll be free and teach our son a little lesson in the ways of pain!" his father Naska said evilly. Marinnas then arrived with Fiona under her sleep spell. "Is she asleep?" he asked her roughly. "Yes master. Time to leave this world!" she said to them. "Yes it is! Once the spell is complete, our son's bride is this world's prisoner unless… he takes her place!" he said to his wife Neasa. She smiled wickedly as they began chanting. Suddenly a haze of fire surrounded them and Fiona. Then everything went dark. They found themselves in the realm of the living once more.
