Chapter 2 - Prologue

Her black horse rode through the forest, his hooves making noises on the forest floor, the cool wind blew causing the forest trees to wave. She looked up to the sky, it was the lunar eclipse and most curses were to be broken today during the the ceremony by different gods and goddesses, she smiled in delight underneath her red hood, the horse nighed to a stop towards going out from the forest, a castle good on the hills miles away from her. It was her destination, her smile widened turning into a grin, it was an evil smile she wore looking up to the skies again, the moon was right in frontof the sun perfectly. Her eyes returned to the castle on the hills and it's lands surrounding it.

"If you haven't done this to me, this wouldn't have happened". She thought to herself.

"Hiaahh"she screamed as the horse quickly ran down the valley with speed, his hair going in the direction of the winds . She had intentions on heading towards fairytopia, the land of faires. The princess was born on this very day and a celebration was going on in her honor.

She stopped at the huge gate of the castle, royal carriages and horses respectively were parked at a corner outside the gate. "What an unlucky princess" She grinned while hopping down from her horse. She removed her cloak placing it on her horses back.

"Wait for me I'll be back soon" she touched his face . Muttering some words to herself her plain Black gown into a silver sparkly blue ball gown, her hair fell curled up on her shoulders upon it was a sliver polished crown, on her back grewinto a silver sparkly blue ball gown, her hair fell curled up on her shoulders upon it was a sliver polished crown, on her back grew large beautiful wings that shimmered. Her skin glowed spotless and ever.

"Not bad".she smiled then walked up to the fairy guards that stood at the gate.

"Queen Avery of the seven eastern kingdoms at the eastern coast Ofelia"her eyes twinkled at the guess charming them all. The two fairy guards nodded flying towards the large gate pushing it open for her highness. She walked with mischief, pride and her evil smile pasted on her face graciously. The golden door stood wide opened for all royal guests of all magics revealing the ball room. Ahead of them stood the throne where their majesties sat waving, bowing to greet guests that walked up to them with gifts beside them lay the little princess in her court. She walked graciously in power ignoring people bumping into her to where the king and queen sat.

"Nice to meet you, your highness"She bowed .

"Welcome to fairytopia"the queenstood by her husband's side.

"Am queen Avery of the seven eastern kingdoms at the coast of Ofelia"she bowed with smiles .

"Never heard of that before"the king said.

"That's right, we don't show ourselves much only for special occasions like this"

It's an honor" the queen chuckled. "I'm Queen Liliana and this is my husband King Ryder ruler of fairytopia"

"Oh I've heard so much about you king Ryder" she nodded.

"You have a special child"she commented eyeing the babies cot then walking up to it.

"Absolutely"replied Liliana. Avery stared at the little baby girl continuously before drifting away immediately hearing the royal trumpets announcing the arrival of some prestigious soceror, Kings and Queens of various kingdoms.

"Penny"Liliana called politely.

"Take Jacqueline to her room"The maid nodded bowing down to then taking the princess from her cot to then heading down to the passage door.

Queen Avery took a quick glance at penny as she grinned evilly before taking a deep breadth before she made her self invisible then following penny without her knowledge. she held an old book on her palms as she entered the room which penny entered. she stood at a corner behind the door watching Penny drop the baby on the soft canopy bed then immediately turning to leave the room hurriedly. Queen Avery took three steps forward to the princess immediately penny closed the door to gen turned off the light outside. she stared at the princess with little sympathy and anger while biting her lip. Placing the book on the bed she flipped a page almost torn out .

"The right curse"she whispered to the sleeping baby.

"Born under the lunar eclipse,I place a curse on you on this very day, your heart is to be divided this instant to two different world's.

"you are to live a fairy without wings in this, then a witch in the other, on the fifth month of every year, a strange illness incurable will descend on you severely.... your death shall also be under the lunar eclipse" she raised her hands to the ceiling as some Sparks of dust left her palms to the princess making her sneeze sweetly. she watched the baby sighing in frustration.

"I had to dear, it's not your fault nor was it mine, Blane your parents" She disappeared immediately appearing back on her horse with the book she held firmly then rode away from the castle back to where they came from.
