Child of Light: The Fairy Tale

Prelude

Child. Tuck yourself in bed
And let me tell a story
Of Lemuria, a long lost kingdom,
And a girl born for glory.

In Austria was a crown land ruled by a duke,
Aurora was his daughter.
Child of a duchess mysterious,
Beloved by her father.

He raised the girl Alone,
They were rarely apart.
'Til the duke felt lonely,
And misplaced his heart.

It was the great Friday
Before Easter, 1895.
Players performed for the duke,
His new bride at his side.

That night Aurora went to sleep,
The fire burned down low.
She caught a chill that spread,
Her skin was cold as snow.

At dawn they found her
Vacant, Aurora's light gone out.
Her father wept and pleaded,
But there could be no doubt.

For all intents and purposes
Aurora was dead.
And yet... Once upon a time,
She awoke in a strange land instead.
