...There was a kingdom far away ruled a good king and his fair queen. One morning just before sunrise, the Queen looked at the sky; she was enthralled by the bright sun just peaking over the horizon and the tiny sparkling stars scattered about. She smiled.
"Imagine a child with eyes that sparkled like these stars, hair and skin that shine like the sun." She said to herself.
Months later, her wish came true and she gave birth to a daughter with bright blue eyes that glistened like stars, hair as golden as a rising sun, two pink hearts on her cheeks, and skin as fair as the full moon. She decided to call the little princess Star Bright. However, shortly after the princess's birth, the Queen took ill and passed away, leaving a grieving king and kingdom behind.
Years went by and the Princess grew up to be a curious, headstrong, adventurous spirit beloved by her father and her subjects. The King, however, grew very lonely and desired a new wife and mother for his daughter. Unfortunately, the woman he chose to be his queen was a vain, cruel, heartless person with thoughts only of herself. Her name was Heinous and she was very beautiful, but she never said a kind word nor did a kind deed in all of her life.
The Queen possessed a rare magical mirror that spoke nothing but the truth to any question. Every day, Queen Heinous would spend hours in front of her mirror to admire herself and she would ask it,
"Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of them all?"
And the mirror would answer, "Your Majesty, there's no doubt at all: you are the fairest of them all."
This made the Wicked Queen very happy, but she couldn't bear the possibility that she might not be the fairest in the land. So she kept checking and every time, she was satisfied.
But one day, everything changed. Just like any other, she went to her mirror and asked,
"Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of them all?"
But this time, the mirror had a different answer.
"Heinous, my Queen, you are very fair, 'tis true, but... but there is somepony else who is fairer than you."
The room turned deathly silent, the Queen didn't move a muscle; she couldn't believe what she had just heard. Someone else in the kingdom is fairer than her.
"...Who?" She asked through gritted teeth, her eye twitched in anger.
"It... it's... Princess Star Bright." The mirror winced in fright as she spoke, waiting for the Queen's reaction.
Queen Heinous was enraged; how could her own stepdaughter be fairer than her? A newly formed hatred for Star Bright began to grow in the Queen's cold, cruel heart. Her eyes burned with anger as she glowered at the mirror before her.
"Star Bright?! That blonde, pale, scrawny, pesky goody two-shoes is fairer than ME?! That can't be true! I don't believe it; I WON'T believe it! Treacherous mirror! It's a lie, an outrageous lie!" She shrieked.
"My Queen, I speak nothing but the truth! You know that!" The mirror cried in terror. "See for yourself." An image of Star Bright suddenly appeared in the mirror.
Queen Heinous stared at the Princess's image; she couldn't stand the very sight of her. But then she saw how beautiful Star Bright actually is; the mirror was right. The Queen narrowed her eyes and she snarled in anger.
"If what you say is true, then I'll have to get rid of Star Bright... and luckily, I know just how to handle it." The Wicked Queen said with a wicked smile; she summoned the royal Hunter who promptly arrived.
"You sent for me, Your Majesty?" The Hunter asked, kneeling before the Queen.
"Yes." The Queen said, looking at the boy before her. "Sir Oskar, I'm glad you're here. I have an important task I need you to do for me."
