The magic tree part 2

On day while water was pouring down from the sky, the prince stumbled upon a small house in the forest as he was on his way to find the pure maiden. Curiosity came over him and he knocked on the door to the house as he saw the sign on the door. On the sign stood the old witch magic shop. An old woman came out the door and greeted the prince. She invited the prince inside.

Inside the shop was an exotic animal's, poisons and artifacts. A large black pot was hanging over the fire place. A weird feeling came inside his heart as he walked further into the foreign territory.

The woman sat down on a chair and in front of her was a black table with a small crystal ball on it. She pointed towards the chair opposite of her and told him to sit down. The prince sad down on the chair and looked towards the old lady.

"I see, so you have fallen in love with the pure maiden," the old lady said with a husky voice. The prince blinked his eyes and mumbled "yes". The woman smiled as she placed a hand on the crystal ball.

"The maiden does not have feeling for you, am I right" the woman asked while gazing at the prince. He sighed and said "yes, no matter how many times ask, she always gives me a no for an answer". The old woman smiled and a weird glimmer was in her eyes.

"Tell me prince what would you give to have the maiden fall in love with you" she asked while folding her hands on the table. The prince gazed on her and said, "Could you do that". The woman laughed at his question and said "of course, but it comes with a price".

"OF COURSE, I will give you anything," he said while leaning closer to her. She took forth her hand and said, "Alright let make a contract".

The prince and the witch made a deal that the prince got an elixir, which would make anyone fall in love with him. She in return got a large amount of money on which she could live the rest of her life as a wealthy woman. Now all the prince need to do was make the maiden drink the elixir.

He got out of the magic shop and walked towards the tree. A smile formed on his face as he saw the pure maiden sing her wonderful song underneath the tree. She was wearing a simple green dress with white patterns. He walked over to her and greeted her with a warm smile. The girl had gotten use to the fact that the prince would not leave.

He sat down next to her and it felt like eyes were staring him in the neck. The prince took out a bottle of red wine and two metal cups. He opened up the bottle and asked, "Would you please have a drink with me". She shook her head but the prince kept asking her until she agreed on a small taste.

The prince smiled and poured the wine into the cups. He pointed towards a bird in the sky and the girl looked towards it, while he opened the elixir and mixed it into one of the cups. She looked back at him and he gave her one of the cups that had a bit darker color.

She sip on the drink and a sweet flavor filled her mouth. The prince drank his wine with a smile on his lips. The maiden's pupils grew and she place the cup on the ground. He went down on his knees and took out a small box from his pocket. The box was opened and inside it was a golden ring with a large diamond.

"Will you marry me?" the prince said and you could see the tree face become sore. Her eyes blinked slowly something was magically taking over her body and whispered, "Yes". A smile formed on his lips and he help her to her feet.

The prince place the maiden on his white horse and he took his coat over her shoulders. He sat up on the horse and rode off into the sunset. Tears streamed down the tree and the sky cried with it as it thought of the loved one that had left it.
