ON HOLD. Queen Avalon was not always this vain, and yet vanity is all she knows. She is the fairest in the land. She aches to be told so. Selfishly, she runs her slender fingers down the frame that encases her precious mirror and commands it to tell her. It does. And she devours every single word. That is, until the mirror betrays her. Her reign as the most beautiful of all has been stolen away, her throne of pride, usurped. She is no longer safe. She acts. She plans for murder. Queen Avalon wants that little wretch's heart in a box. She wants it to gaze upon, to remind her of her victory. To remind everyone her crown shan't be snatched away from insolent girls such as Snow White. Queen Avalon was not always this vain...though she can't remember when she wasn't. When Queen Avalon's back is turned, the mirror smiles to itself. What good fun, it thinks, to have a victim believe she is its master.
