"Long ago the kingdom welcomed all fairytale and forest creatures to their town, the witch known as Cassandra brought forth a new rule that no human being shall hurt any of the fairytale creatures and they won't hurt any humans. The witch and king grew up together. They had different tales but were close until the king met his queen and had a beautiful daughter, princess Amelia. While the witch found a boy throughout the woods, he was a runaway from the orphanage. The witch chose to raise the boy as he would be her guide as she grew older."
