Retold - Ball Gone Wrong

Virginia Dantès is invited to a ball held by the Count de Morcerf, where she accidentally stumbles upon a magical item that transports her to another world.

This story is in a rhyming scheme much like "A Lie by Them is a Fie for Him". Though I must admit it's not as good. I will rework this and add it, along with the other, into a compilation of short stories that will be all in the same format.

Some folklore information before entering the story:

The story's main portion begins with the hawthorn and ends with the apple tree.

The Hawthorn is said to be a portal to the Otherworld. It represents fertility and death, but is also said to contain knowledge of reproduction and transformation. In medieval times, bringing a hawthorn blossom into the abode represented death, because they smell similar to a rotting corpse. Corpses were kept in houses for days before being buried. This meant people were well acquainted with the smell of decaying flesh.

Landon Quert: The Apple tree, is called Quert [tenth letter of the Ogham], and is associated with Samhain-as well as-Apple Day on the 21st of October. Apple represents the Otherworld and CHOICE. Which Landon offers by telling Virgin-ia "don't drink the Lambswool". It can also represent "madness", which the Otherworld magical apple tree makes music that dispels "all want of the Soul". The apple [in this instance, the Lambswool], also brings a person to Emhain or "land of the departed".
