SERENDIPITY || OUAT

All of his life, 𝗞𝗜𝗧 𝗠𝗜𝗟𝗟𝗦 was told he will never find his true love. His grandmother would always tell him that "love is weakness" and that he should marry for power and nothing less.

Kit was forced to watch his mother turn into the woman she is known.. The Evil Queen. To ensure that her son would turn out just like her, the Evil Queen tore out her son's heart, turning him into the most fearsome solider in the Enchanted Forest.

The Dark Prince. He was forced to watch his grandfather die at the hands of his mother to enact the curse. Years passed since the curse, Cora and Peter Pan were defeated, and now he's finally ready to throw away the title of "The Dark Prince".

.. But is he really?

𝗘𝗟𝗟𝗔 𝗠𝗜𝗟𝗟𝗦 (𝗡𝗘𝗘́ 𝗩𝗘𝗟𝗔𝗥𝗬𝗢𝗡) once lived a happy life in her house hidden away from her village. She was born to a beautiful woman named Gwyneira and a handsome man named Cedric.

Ella was born with hair as nearly as white as snow, just like her mother, but Gwyneira placed a spell on her so her hair could be as black as night. All the young woman wanted was for her daughter to live as normal of a life as possible.

However, tragedy struck her home just two days before Ella's tenth birthday. Ella found her mother unconscious on the floor with her eyes rolling to the back of her head.

Gwyneira was then pronounced dead and a funeral was held twenty four hours later. She had no hope for love in the world. A piece of her heart died with her mother. She was ready to completely give up and run away after Cedric passed...

.. Until she met the apprentice monarch.
