Above in the Pink Traveling Attire with Jasmine Wheat blonde hair and blue eyes is Philip's rescuer Aurora aka Briar Rose's unlikely childhood friend.

Philip kept coughing up fluid from being really exposed to that dangers potion.

"You have to change your clothes they are contaminated, my Prince you can't go anywhere in them come with me to my Grandmother's place.

"No, I can't go anywhere near the elderly they'll be put at risk, Grace. They'd die." He coughs again. This was frothy mucus he was spitting up.

"You have Adult Respiratory Distress Syndrome, Philip, it's noncardiogenic condition that isn't caused by your heart. The niric acid oxidized the carbon and oxygen in that fire set in front of you. Someone wanted to kill you, Philip. And you being dumped in the river didn't help your lungs recover, young Prince. Almost a mediocre Swimming induced pulmonary edema, Philip." Grace informed him. "The best cure for fighting of Aqua Regia side effect symptoms is simple. Magnesium Prince, okay? So eat an apple and a carrot once a day, young Royal. I gave one of each to the mare too. Eat up it will make sure the fluids come out the other end instead of your mouth, lad."

"Where did you get such foods?"

"Part of the Errant Bands of Actors traveling troupe theatre (the French spelling for theatre show), Philip. When we put on a play for someone we're rewarded with amazing food from all over the place. Sometimes I give my Father samples he sells them in the town he lives in and is able to craft me things like this. Diamond handed scissors. People love his work, dear young man. Here, my brother's about as old as you I have a set of his clothes he let me pack for emergencies and this is an emergency, Prince Philip. I'm going to catch us some Salmon from the river they have magnesium too to help your body as well, Royal friend."

Philip knew it was the girl Aurora met in the woods years before she met him that day before her birthday. He removed the picture Aurora had given him Grandma Talia Grace's Grandma had drawn of the two of them together. He could see his legs were badly burnt and smelt slightly like honey and aloe vera scent was about the burns.

The pictures matched. Grace was taller than Aurora now her Jasmine wheat blonde hair remained in the straightest style Philip ever saw a blonde wear her hair, she wore a Crimson Cape with a hood attached over it. She had a pale pink blouse with medium long sleeves, and a red maroon bodice wrap over it. Her travel pants were the color of Rose Pompadour, and her wood laced boots were brown born for trekking in the wilderness of the woods. A small fire was lit and Grace began Roasting two salmon she caught from the river on wooden sticks. Philip came out in Grace's brother's Azure blue shirt and pants.

"It suits you." She said quite politely. "Your dinner's ready, Prince. What's that in your hands?"

She said noticing the colored photo in his hands right away. It was a mosaic job done of her and Aurora in Perceforest the other side of Neapolix realm

"That's my friend, Rose, Prince Philip."

"My lover gave it to me, Princess Aurora said she made it with Fairy Fauna's help and there was only one other copy given to a friend in the forest to remember her by Philip said. She said her name was Grace Errantayo and that you met about 6 years ago, right?"

"Yes, I have the other copy, Prince Philip." She said taking it out from within her cloak and showing it to him. They were the same the two girls at the creek side in the woods in Aurora's friendly glen area of the forest.

"So you're saying Rose is the Princess Aurora

"So you're saying Rose is the Princess Aurora." Grace gasps. "Why didn't she tell me?"

"She didn't know until the day before her 16th birthday the first time I met her I didn't know it was the Princess either, Grace. The fairies never told her till last minute which was a really truly absolute mistake, miss."

"You'd be right about that most definitely, Philip." Grace agreed. "It is wrong to never tell the truth right away, indeed, unlikely Royal Friend."

"Aurora's people have this curse infecting them, and now possibly these side effects like I do too thanks to that stupid fire accident I can't help cure everyone nor going looking for the culprit I told Maleficent's spirit I promised to find. I can't go back and I can't move forward either, Grace."

"Then once you are healed let me go in your stead." Grace spoke. "You will stay with my Grandma Talia and my brother once you are healed." Grace said. "We must find the culprit, it is a bad time to be causing a violent mess, a famine is spreading down from the north of Europe to the south of the Alps. The moon turns her face North the air gets cold and chilly early and ice begins to start frosting. Everyone is pain, Philip from the awful weather we are having in these Middle Ages. Your Princess I have sad news to report has sunk back into the sleep from her curse, young lad."

"You'd risk meeting up Maleficent in my place for me, can you do anything talent wise?" asked Philip.

"Yes," Grace answers. "A Che Servono Gli Amici?!"

It was a rhetorical Italian question and statement at the same time that translates to What Are Friends For?!

"I'm a good cook." Grace spoke again after Philip didn't say anything else to her. He could agree with her on that as the salmon she roasted was perfectly cooked right.

"I love to clean things too." Grace adds
as well.
