The cold danced up and down the child's spine, caressing her softly as it stung sharply as needles. Snowflakes danced across her hair and fell gently on her porcelain skin. Soft lips tinted a pale blue; cheeks light up a soft rose made the Queen smile. A vibrant blue cloak peaks through the snow, drawing attention to the girl's skin as white as snow. Her black gloves obstructed her hands, but the Queen suspected that if the cloak and gloves were to be removed, this porcelain girl would fit well in the fresh snow. A living tribute to her waking. The girl sat under the heavy branches filled with snow of an ancient tree, her sorrow filled eyes making the Queen frown.
Why would anyone be so desolated when the snowflakes sang silently a lullaby upon their head? Doesn't the girl feel the magic that was in the air? Wasn't she happy for the awakening of Winter? The Queen taught, looking more closely at the girl and trying to pluck - like one would pluck flowers in Summer - the thoughts that wandered through the girl's mind.
"Ah, sweet child," the Queen whispered, a smile blooming on her frozen features. "If a gown you want, a gown you shall have."

The Witch of Calamity [Rewrite Pending]
The cold wind gnawed at her fading conscious as the warmth slowly began to drain from her body, pooling itself into a crimson mass beneath her still body. The thought of death was somehow amusing in the dire situation she had found herself in, or rather, trapped herself in was a more apt description of the events that had led to this moment. "Are you alright miss?" For a moment the young lady thought she was beginning to have auditory hallucinations near the end of her fleeting life however she was proven wrong when the same voice spoke again. "It's not good to sleep in the snow miss, you might not wake up in the morning." The voice was soft and gentle which filled the young lady with an odd sort of warmth she had never before experienced. It was a voice that was untainted by the world a distinct innocence that marked it as a child's voice. How ironic that the last person to witness her alive would be one of the things she tried so hard to protect. "Hey what's your name?" The young lady managed to whisper despite the pain that came from anything besides breathing. "---------------------------------" The young lady smirked, "Well then, I suppose I should tell you mine." *Notes* Cover Art is not mine, all credit goes to the original artist!!!!!Complete

And everything fades to black... ------------------------------------ Maria and Robin seem to be in an endless dance; one day they take a step forward, the next they take a step back.

Winter's Rose ~A Beauty and the Beast Retelling~
'"Oh, William, there will be no heir. The throne will sit empty for years. Everything your father created will be gone. And you will not be able to stop it." She walked towards him, like the serpent in the garden. She touched her finger to his forehead, and leaned into close, "You will become the thing you fear the most; a monster who lurks in the night; a soul lost from its path. You will be blinded by your own fear. As time goes on--and it will go on--you will be trapped by your fear until it consumes you. You will forever be a monster, and you won't be able to stop it." "No," he clamored, "I'll overcome it, I'll fight it every day until I die." "Oh, my dear, you will not die. You will be immune to death--a monster today, a monster tomorrow, and a monster forever. A soul lost from its path can only be led back to the light, it cannot find its own path."' (The Two Curses) ~~ How can a person lead you back to the light when they are as blind as you?Complete

Princess Snow and the Empress
WATTY'S 2022 SHORTLIST🏅A Qing Dynasty Snow White fairytale retelling with a Princess Mononoke twist. Featured on @Wattpad's Fantasy Adventures reading list and @WattpadExplorer. ***** Snow is anything but the submissive princess the Jade Palace expects her to be. Her foster mothers find her impossible, her royal tutor labels her incorrigible, and she recently threatened to shave her head if she were forced to marry. When the Empress presents her with an opportunity to go on the imperial spring hunt with the princes and her not-so-secret crush, Prince Erden, Snow jumps at the chance. Who knew that that would lead to an assassination attempt, a harrowing escape, and her getting hopelessly lost in a dark forest during a thunderstorm--with no survival skills whatsoever. The only things she has to help her survive are lots of moxie and latent magical powers she inherited from her deceased mother. Oh, and an ethereally white fox that led seven old dwarves to her. With the Empress's malicious intent now revealed, Snow must discover her true strength, who her mother really is, and what magical powers she wields, in order to find her way back to Erden. If she fails, she might never see him again and die a lonely old crone in the mountains. . . or get murdered anyway when the bloodthirsty Empress--said to have fantastical powers of her own--comes for Snow.

Twisted Tale: Ending of Prologue
Once upon a time, there was a princess who'd lived the role of the kingdom's beloved doll. Everyone would always love watching her dance inside the castelet to an endless melody until their never-ending hearts' content. One day, a wandering handsome prince found her. Her breathtaking beauty caught the prince's eye. The charming prince quickly fell with the empire's most beautiful girl, and the princess fell in love with the first person who didn't try to touch the strings attached to her small body. He, who is the hero she had been waiting for all her life, vowed that he would save her from the cage. As the naive princess believes him with all her heart. Like a damsel in distress, she hopelessly waited for her beloved hero to save her inside the lovely cage. And yet... He never came back. Until the doll princess finally had enough with the strings controlling her worn body. For the very first time, the pretty Marionette desperately tries to cut the strings gripping her beaten body. She ran away, trying to escape from the thorny path to which she belonged, and it led her to a peculiar empire that didn't have a sun, moon, or even stars.

He, who always wears a sinister smirk while giving a hypnotist to everyone with his enchanted amethyst eyes.
