Once upon a time...

There was a King and Queen who wished for a child. After many years of wishing, they finally had the baby they desired and named her Hermia. On the day of her christening, three good fairies came to bid her good fortune.

The first of the three, Francis, blessed her with the gift of beauty.

The second of the three, Gilbert, blessed her with the gift of music.

Before the third and the youngest of the three could give his gift, a cold wind from the east commanded the attention of everyone in the throne room. From a silvery mist, stepped forth the most vile and most evil of all magic beings: Yao Wang.

"Well, this is a surprise. Nobility, gentry, peasants, and the rabble." He droned as he glared at the fairies. "I was not very pleased to learn that I was not invited to the little Princess's christening. I had hoped that it was a slip up and that you had simply forgotten to invite me."

The two frightened parents, who to be honest forgot that Yao Wang was still alive because he was so old, were speechless.

"It wasn't their fault. Even we forgot that you were still alive old man." Francis joked.

"And it's not like you gave us any clue that you were still alive. You never come to our annual Midsummer Night's festival." Gilbert added.

"Well, since there was no ill will intended, and because I am here already, I would like to bestow a gift upon the child." He gave an evil grin. "Before the sun sets on Hermia's sixteenth birthday, she will prick her finger on the spindle of a spinning wheel and die."

In a flash of light and a crack of lightning, the sorcerer was gone.

Queen Athena held her daughter as tight as she could and a few tears fell from her green eyes.

King Alexander begged the fairies for help. "Is there anyway to undo the curse?"

"I am sorry my King. But instead of reversing the curse, I can tweak it so she will not die." Antonio consoled the grieving parents.

"Chica, if fate has it that you should prick your finger, not in death but in sleep you will be for one hundred years and a day when your soulmate will find you and break the curse." Antonio gave his gift to the little princess and her parents ordered every spinning wheel to be burned.

...

Almost sixteen years later, Hermia found herself finished with her Greek lesson and found herself with some free time for a change. Wanting to explore like the adventurous and daring heros in her books, Hermia found herself wandering the castle until she found a secret door. To her delight, it was unlocked and there was a strange thing inside.

She had never seen such a ridiculous thing in her life and a strong desire to touch the sharp needle on the end shocked her. She couldn't stop herself as her feet moved on their own towards the thing.

She cried for help but her arm shot out, finger outstretched, and a sharp prick of her finger.

She was asleep before she collapsed and her father carried her to her room where she was to sleep for one hundred years and a day.

...

Prince Kiku and Prince Arthur were riding through the forrest when they came upon a thicket of briar.

"Do you think it's thick?" Kiku asked.

"That thicket has been up for over one hundred years. Legend has it that there is a beautiful maiden lying as though asleep in the center of the briar." An old man that came out of nowhere said.

"Well, if it is just a legend, there is no use being a hero and trying to get to the center." Arthur guided his horse around and rode off.

Kiku thought about it and decided that he might as well try get to the center of the thicket of briar. He got off his horse and unsheathed his sword.

A few hours and many scratches later, Kiku found that instead of a young woman in the center, there was a castle.

A little yellow bird flew down and chirped. "The sleeping Hermia is in the tallest tower."

Kiku pushed open the doors, and jogged through the castle before he stopped at a hallway that went in three directions. A small little turtle nudged his boot and went through the third hallway and not long after that, Kiku found himself in front of a beautiful door. Kiku took a deep breath and opened it.

Inside he found the most beautiful maiden asleep. Her cheeks were still rosey and her brown curls were so kawaii. Kiku almost didn't kiss her. He didn't think that it would be right.

"If you don't kiss her, she will never wake up!" The turtle cried.

"Please forgive me for this." Kiku closed his eyes and kissed her softly. When he opened his eyes, the most beautiful green eyes were looking in his.
