THRICE Upon a Time...

5. To Adventure...and BEYOND!

Rapunzel hooked her hair around a nail above the window and slid down, her legs tightly crossed around it.

She landed next to Snow White and Aurora with a gentle plop.

Little Lethaniel had a bit of a trouble getting out of the toilet, and it took the girls many minutes before they gave up on dragging him out and simply flushed him down.

Where the toilet sucked him off to nobody would know.

The girls had then gone to sleep, Rapunzel on the bed, Aurora underneath it and Snow White in the wardrobe. When it was light enough to make out the wisps of clouds above the majestic mountains in the distance, they proceeded to climb down from the room using Rapunzel's hair.

"Poor, ugly bastard." Rapunzel sneered at what remained of the East-Wind Witch. 

"Oh, how disgusting." Aurora covered her eyes with a handkerchief and injected her drooping lip with a thin-needle of Botox.

"Well, let's go." Snow White batted uselessly at the swarms of flies buzzing around the body and turned towards the trees.

And then she gave such a squeak of surprise that the other two girls swivelled their heads around.

A little-something was hovering in the air before them. It was glittering, giving off small gold sparks, and its pointed wings fluttered in a green blur.

"A FAIRY!" Snow White gushed, her eyes lit up like a lamp.

The fairy was dressed in a green dress made of ferns, and her hair was in a messy brown plait. At those worlds the fairy gave a little smile and pulled out a neatly rolled-up scroll.

She cleared her throat. "Behold, the Three Assistants, to meet your grand master, The Good Witch of the Northern Wind!" Suddenly, out of nowhere, popped out a second fairy.

"Woah," Rapunzel snickered.

This fairy was quite strange, and for many a reason. She was just a little bit taller and larger than the green fairy, but she was dressed entirely in white. Her white-blonde hair, her bright-white lipstick, her pale-white skin, her poofy, watery-white dress, her dainty, satin-white shoes, her curvy, shining-white wings were all of a similar shade of...er...WHITE.

"Hello, fellow Assistants...." the Fairy-In-White gazed wisely at the three girls.

"Um, I dunno about you guys, but I'm NOBODY'S assistant." Rapunzel snapped.

"I think I might be the dwarfs' assistant...?" Snow White blinked.

"Let the little mythical continue!" Aurora scowled, but only managed to contort half her face so she ended up looking constipated.

"Thank you, dear." the Fairy-In-White nodded her white head, and she began slowly circling the girls' heads, her wings buzzing. There was a most awkward silence, the green fairy gazing in admiration at the white one, the girls stifling their laughter. Finally the Fairy-In-White pulled herself to her full height (about as tall as half a strand of spaghetti) and curtsied in the air. "You know nothing of the Witches of the Wind, do you not?"

The girls raised their eyebrows.

"Well," the Fairy-In-White shut her eyes. "Once upon a time, when the clouds were touching the ground and the moon was blue, there was once four witches. One night, the winds carried a message to them all telling them to meet, and from that day onwards they were inseparable.

"But one of the witches, the girl who was brought by the North wind, despised the cruel magic the other three performed. One day, she tried to convince the others that their magic was savage and horrid, but the three laughed at her, calling her a coward. The girl was furious, and left upon the next Northern wind, believing in her own good magic. It was winds that brought them together, and winds that brought them apart." the Fairy-In-White sighed gently in sadness.
