Aurora was trying to wake up but she couldn't. She felt a sunflower petal tickle her nose. She woke up in a blue forest with yellow flowers sinking into the sand. The Queen of Dreams stood in front of her in a sparkling blue robe, and long gray hair. Her eyes were brown like Aurora's mom Queen Leah her hands were covered with gloves. Aurora grabbed her shoulders even the cold around her affected her dreamworld from outside in real life.

"I did try to loose you from the Valley of Nightmares here, but Nature would not let me, Aurora."

Aurora tried to move her feet but she couldn't. The valley of Nightmares was the blue glen turned into a bog a type of swamp. The Queen stood on the border.

"Can you explain the dream you sent me yesterday, Queen of Dreams?" asked Aurora since she had nothing better to do than make small talk with the Queen of the Dreamworld of hers. She was stuck in one of those nightmares where you run, but you're unable to run anywhere. She could see bad things on Earth happening here. The civilians angry at her Father, Philip's scorched hat, screams and squeals and coughs of her infected people. She had a strong feeling her own Father and Philip's Father were now infected. She found the potion she knew its side effects could be delayed. Her Mother was in danger of falling ill and she can't wake up to warn her.

"Yes, you'll fall back into your cursed slumber for every time the sun doesn't meet your face in a lunar eclipse your yellow fellow flowers will tell you when your slumber is approaching. This will continued until you live through 100 lunar eclipse, and 100 solar eclipses and 100 gray thickly clouded rainy days. Your body answers to the path of the sun thanks to Lady Maleficent who cursed you in the first place, Aurora. In the Solar eclipse times and those rainy days you will sleep the full day, I'm afraid for you, Princess Aurora."

"But the Queen of Dreams is never afraid." I said under my breath immediately.

"I wish I weren't, but I am that's why I step no closer I'd be trapped in Nightmare Valley too."

"I understand, my Queen, so I must sleep again 300 times in three different sets of a hundred times, right? Before the reality of my curse starts to slip away."

"Yes," confirmed the Queen of Dreams.

"How am I ever going to tell my parents' this horrid news?" Aurora asked.

"Once you wake up, you'll forget the explanation, Princess Aurora." The Queen of Dreams responded to her Princess she was tasked to guide onwards.

Meanwhile the suite room of Leah's shook violently, the candelabra was lit with green fire.

"Leah!"

"Mali. My friend what do you want?" Leah asked concernedly.

"Go to your daughter's room and lock yourself in with Princess Brigette the castle below is infected with the curse upon the land, Aurora wanted to warn you about this."

Leah listened. She sealed her room off to protect it from the disease and she walked into Aurora's room and joined Brigette there locking the door there as well from the inside.

"The castle has been infected Maleficent told me so, Princess Brigette. The Kings have this curse upon them."
