In the deepest darkest part of a forest, lived a tribe hidden from all. They had large wings on their back and were beautiful, but they were what would be called beasts. Among them was their princess, who had huge, ashen wings. Their law said that once one turned 16, they would be allowed to fly outside the forest.
And on her 16th birthday, the princess took a flight to the world beyond the forest. She crossed the steep mountains and surging rivers and reached a land, of humans. The moon shone brightly in the sky.
She landed in a castle garden, where she found a young man gazing up at the moon. The princess hid in the bushes and stared at the young man... And for the first time, love bloomed in her heart. But he was clearly of a different race. A beast and a human could never be together.
And so, the princess went to see a witch is the same forest and said, "I want to live as a human being. I want to be united with him." The witch replied like so, "I can help you, if you offer me your wings... But keep this in mind... No matter how you disguise yourself, you are a beast... And you will CONSUME PRINCE's LIFE ONE DAY.".
The princess ripped off her wings and was assaulted with pain far more intense than she had ever felt. She could never fly again.
Even so, she smiled happily, with tears of joy streaming down her face. "I am human ... I m human... I am same as him now". Joy, excitement and happiness could be heard in her screams...
The princess once again set out for the land of humans, but this time on foot. In the desert, she spotted a group of people. "Oh no!!! Is there anyone who can save him?!" There lay a young man, his leg bitten by a snake. The princess rushed to his side, and sucked the venom out of his wound. "Thank you, o brave lady... I am the prince of these lands." It was the same young man he met at the castle... "I owe my life to you... Please marry me."
A wedding ceremony was held soon after.
The priest asked the princess, clad in a wedding dress of pure white. "Do you vow to be true to him in good times and in bad... In sickness and in health... Until death do you part???"
