mrs oumas beauty and the bard

once upon a time

Once upon a time, in a land like any other, a young prince lived in a shining castle. Although his heart had everything a man could ever yearn for, he couldn't help but crave for more - he was spoiled, selfish, and crude. 

but then, one winters night, an old beggar came to the castle. they offered him a single rose in return for shelter from the bitter cold. repulsed by its haggid appearance, the prince sneered at the gift and dismissed her. 

the lady tried to wArn him not to be deceived by by appearances, for beauty is found within. he dismissed her again, and the old womans ugliness melted away to reveal a beautiful enchantress by the name rukkhadevata.

the prince begged for forgiveness, but it was too late. as punishment for his lack of compassion, the witch transformed him into a hideous beast. ashamed by his appearance, the beast locked himself away within his castle - his only connections to the outside world a magic mirror. 

the rose the witch had offered him was an enchanted rose, which would bloom until his 21st birthday - if he could learn to love another, then the curse would be broken, and he would be returned to his original state.

if not... he would be doomed to be a beast forever. as the years passed, he grew into a great despair - for who could ever learn to love a beast?

twi curiously skipped through the streets of her town, glancing around at all the little stalls that lay in neat rows ahead of her. the townsfolk happily waved their greetings to her as she walked by, twi returning each one eagerly. 

it didn't take a genius to figure out this was beauty and the beast - so she hoped saber wasn't too confused. 

it had always been her most favourite disney film, so to say she was excited was an understatement. although she couldn't help but worry - would venti even be the beast?? wouLD HE BE A FURRY??

not that she would be totally against the idea buttttttt......................

"ah, twilight. its good to see you." the bookshop owner snapped her out of her thoughts, waving a quick hello back to them.

"hey shuichi! ive uh, come to  return this book i borrowed." she pulled out a blue book from her bag, placing it on the table in front of her. 

he nodded and placed it back on its respective shelf. he turned to her, almost expectantly, waiting for her to say something. his brow quirked, 

"aren't you going to borrow another one?"

"whatoHYES. yes. ill borrow uh..." she span around and picked the closest one to her, "this one!"

he nodded and did whatever you're supposed to do when someone borrows a book and yeah. idontknow how libraires work and this scene needs tobe over now its so awkward 

"ok bye" she said and scurried off. 

as she walked out of the bookstore, her eyes turned down to the book that was placed within her hands. the title read "Mr. & Mrs. Oma" in fancy gold font, and a quick skim through of the pages made it look like a worthy read. 

although as her mind was distracted with that, she failed to see the twink that stood in front of her. she slammed into him and toppled over, the book flying out of her hands.

the twink smiled, helping her up, "well well well - if it isnt twi. you should reallyyy watch where you're going next time, nee-hee."
