The last fairy tale to play out is finally over. The Evil Queen of Snow White's story is dead. Until now. After years of slumber, she's finally awoken. Her story's new beginning starts other tales, not just hers. All fairy tales are finally rousing, as its characters wake again in the form of flesh and blood. Vows are taken to never go down the same route that led to their deaths, or to retrace steps that led to love and luxury and fame. Except every character has gone through magical change into new teenagers of today's generation.
Antonovka Petrov is the new reincarnation of the Evil Queen, famous for her raving jealousy and lethal fruit. She knows about the corrupt, the greedy, the arrogant, the sly, the backstabbing. And now, it's up to her flush them out and get rid of them. Starting with the reincarnations of the new characters of Snow White, Rapunzel, Cinderella, the Little Mermaid, Beauty, Briar Rose, all the other former heroines.
And it falls onto her shoulders to reunite the new once-villians, the Sea Witch of The Little Mermaid, The Evil Witch of Briar Rose, the Step-Family of Cinderella, all the ones that paid the ultimate prices in the tales they never wanted to follow.
Because if the heroines once again refuse to pay their share of fate, the fairy tales will never again slumber.
Living a life out of a fairytale story is really not as it is cut out to be. I mean, Cinderella had to clean up a whole mansion by herself every day. Belle had to put up with a housemate who needed a shaver as much as he needed anger management classes. And don't even let me get started with Snow White and her stepmom's drama. Really, Rapunzel of the 21st century? I would rather be a tree. At least I would be contributing oxygen to the world.
