[SDMN] Imagines

Emon #2

(Sidemen Sleeping Beauty story)

Everyone in the kingdom marched to the castle to rejoice with the king and queen. They had just given birth to their first child who happened to be a boy. They named him Prince Moné. After other members of the royal family and of other kingdoms gave the child gifts, the three magical fairy godfathers entered.

"Joshua, Tobi, Harryweather (I can't stop XD)." the king greeted them.

"Your highness. We each come with one gift to grant your child. Just one. No more, no less." Josh told him. The king and queen gave him smile, stepping aside. Josh fluttered over and peeked into the cradle.

"Little prince, my gift shall be the gift of good looks. With the brightest smile and unmistakable blue eyes." Josh then waves his wand, bringing Moné his blessing.

"Tiny prince, my gift shall be the gift of song. So that you may have a voice as beautiful as your face." Tobi blessed. The sparks floated down onto the baby.

"Sweet prince, my gift shall be-" Harry was disrupted by a boom and a bang. The tall front doors flew open, the wind howling loudly. Lightning struck before green flames bursted. When they died down everyone gasped at the sight of who it was.

"Vik-leficent." Tobi scowled. An evil laugh rumbled from Vik's mouth as his pet bird, JJ, landed onto of his staff.

"Well, isn't this a lovely assembly. Royalty, Nobility, and the gentry." Vik observed. "I'm quite stressed for not receiving an invitation."

"You weren't wanted." Harry growled.

"Wh- Not wanted? Oh dear, this is now an awkward situation isn't it? Well, then I guess I'll be on my way. But not, before I bestow a gift of my own upon the child." Vik smirked. The three godfathers crowded around the baby. "Listen here, all of you! The prince will indeed grow in grace and charm, but before the sunset on his sixteenth birthday, he will prick his finger on the spindle of a spinning wheel and die!" Vik bellowed. The queen ran over and grabbed Moné, holding him close.

"Seize that creature!" the king ordered. However before anyone could do anything Vik disappeared the same way he came, in a ball of green light.

"Don't fear your majesty. Harry still has his gift to give." Josh reminded them.

"But what do I say?" Harry was unsure of how to fix such a powerful curse.

"Just do your best." Tobi encouraged. Harry took a deep breath before bringing his hands up.

"Sweet prince, you shall prick your finger but not to death, only a deep sleep that can be broken by true love's kiss." Harry blessed him. Even so, the king was still fearful of his son's life and ordered that every spinning wheel in both the castle and kingdom be burned.

"How dare Vik do such a thing!" Harry spat.

"I know. On such an innocent child as well. There must be something we can do." Tobi put his head in his hands.

"It would have to be something Vik would never suspect." Harry said.

"But he knows everything. That's nearly impossible." Tobi contradicted.

"Not everything. I have an idea." Josh announced. "He would never suspect three peasant men raising a child in a cottage in the middle of the forest." It took some convincing but the king and queen agreed to letting them do so. Without magic as well. The king and queen watched with heavy hearts as their only child disappeared into the night with Josh, Tobi, and Harry.

Sixteen years later and Moné did grow to be a tall and handsome boy; but under the name Simon. He had hair the colour of golden brown and eyes as blue as the sky. He is a lovely boy that Josh, Tobi, and Harry care for ever so deeply. One could say they are overprotective but only for good measures.
