"Fauna told me I'd be able to meet you, Miss Nettle, but I never imagined it would be like this." said Leah. "I want you to be Princess Harvvesta's Fairy Godmother along with Fauna."

"I humbly accept the job and am gracious you have chosen me as one of them to look after her." stated Miss Nettle. "She is quite a little gem, Queen Leah."

"Please no more Queen Leah The First it's just Leah to you, and Fauna and everyone here I am done being a Queen." spoke Leah. "Do you know of the Next Lunar Eclipse time, Miss Nettle?"

"May 13 it will start at 15:00 hours aka 3:00 p. m. later in the year." Nettle responded. "Do you believe it affects magical spell strengths, your Majesty?"

"I do, and please stop calling me your Majesty just stop." Leah responds. "The Story of Prince Asmund and Princess Singy is far from farfetched."

Meanwhile back in Paris on the riverside of the Seine, Aurora opened a brown box she knew she had to show Philip and everyone else what was in it.

It was a spindle not just any spindle the very spindle that cursed her with a note.

My dear Princess Aurora, daughter of my best friend, Queen Leah, as the last remaining servant of her late Father I bequeath to you the very thing that caused your demise it can no longer affect you because you are immune to the sleeping curse itself. Hide it where even I cannot find it there will be a time when you need it to put my sister to sleep for a good long while her name is Kryabelle and she is jealous fairy of all the good good folks have had. If this gets lost and I am not available to keep her back there won't be a way to stop her. I placed a fake one in the tower where you slept that isn't Enchanted. This will become a talisman against the Wicked of my world and shall be called one of the Wicked 9's Treasures because of all the dark powers it contains within its find threads.
I wish you the best, child, Princess Aurora.
-Malificent, fairy of the night and shadows.

"I'm asking you to hide it where even I won't find it children, and don't tell me where it is." stated Aurora. "I found it under my pillow the monent after Philip woke me from the curse himself and gave me a moment to compose myself. This was the reason I urged the wedding to be yesterday, Philip. I didn't want Father to find this."

"I understand and don't tell me either where it is, we entrust it to the children we've met here."

Rella and Zephyr could tell these two adults were being serious very very serious.

"I'll help them find a great spot where no one will think to look." Quasi agreed. "We won't tell anyone, Princess Aurora."

"Thank you." She said as she closed the box and placed it in Rella's wicker basket she had Philip by for them.

Rella hugged Aurora and said. "You can totally count on me and my little brother, Zephyr, I promise. We'll keep it very safe."

"Can you tell us the rest of your tale?"

"I think the rest of it is best told by Philip, after all you were old enough to talk in 1483." says Aurora.

"Rora, don't be Florian and put me on the spot like that, but fine. I will tell the rest of it." stammered Philip. Aurora chuckled at his surprise. "To be fair you spooked me in the woods touching my shoulders and singing my Mom's theme song!"

"Any R. S. V. P. S, Fauna?" Leah questioned.
"Yep, from Tiffany and King Hubert and his younger son, Prince Philip, they came early this morning. But not anything from Maleficent. Those boys haven't returnt either."

And so a few hours later Aurora was in her cradle in the throne room next to the throne.

The crowd singing: 🎶Joyfully now to our Princess we come,
Bringing gifts and all good wishes too,
We pledge our loyalty anew.
