Beauty and the Demon - Septiplier
Once upon a time, as most stories begin with, in the hidden heart of Ireland, there was a very handsome prince named Sean. He was rich beyond compare, he taxed village people to fill his castle with the most beautiful objects. All though Sean had everything he needed and wanted, he was selfish, greedy, and unkind. One night, an old beggar woman came to his castle, seeking shelter from the bitter storm. She had nothing but a single rose she offered him. From her old and ugly appearance, Sean turned the woman away. The woman warned Sean not be deceived by haggard appearances...for beauty is found within. When he dismissed the woman again, the woman's appearance changed only to reveal a beautiful enchantress. Sean begged for forgiveness but it was to late, for the enchantress has only seen selfishness in Sean's heart. As punishment, she turned him into a hideous demon and placed a spell on the castle and all who lived there.
As days lead into years, Sean and his servants were forgotten by the world for the enchantress erased all memory of them. And the rose the enchantress gave Sean was truly a enchanted rose. If he could learn to love another, (a male or female), and earn their love in return before the last petal falls, the curse will be broken. If not, Sean will remain a demon, for all time.
The prince had fell into disrepair, for who could learn...to love a demon?
