Sixty-Second Dark Fairy Tales

A Chorus of Deception

In a village where whispers of magic lingered in every breeze, a young girl discovered her extraordinary gift when her voice miraculously healed her brother's broken leg. News of her healing prowess spread swiftly, and soon she became the revered healer of the village, her melodious singing bringing comfort and relief to the afflicted. However, jealousy smoldered in the heart of a sorceress who coveted the girl's power. Cunningly feigning injury, she lured the girl deep into the enchanted forest, where shadows danced among tangled branches and whispering leaves. There, amidst the ancient trees, the girl's spirit withered like a fragile blossom as the sorceress enacted her cruel spell. Transformed into a bird, she was trapped in a gilded cage. The once-free spirit now imprisoned, she sang only for her new mistress, her songs becoming the key to the sorceress's eternal life, a haunting melody of anguish and stolen magic.
