The snow white

Once upon a time, in deep winter, a queen was admiring the falling snow, when she saw a rose blooming in defiance of the cold. Reaching for it, she pricked her finger and three drops of blood fell.

And because the red seemed so alive against the white, she thought “if only I had a child as white as snow, lips as red as the blood, hair as black as a raven’s wings, and all with the strength of that rose.”

Soon after, a daughter was born to the queen and was named Snow White. And she was adored throughout the kingdom as much for her defiant spirit as for her beauty.

The next winter was the harshest in memory and snow white’s mother passed away. The king was inconsolable. Taking advantage of his grief, a dark and mysterious army appeared and lured him into battle.

The dark army was defeated, but what would soon come to pass was far darker. So enchanted by her beauty was the king that he forgot, for the first time, his broken heart and the very next day, she would become his wife.

She had tricked her way into the kingdom with a phantom army; she now welcomed a very real one.

“Mirror mirror, on the wall, who is the fairest of them all” “it is you, my queen. Yet another kingdom falls to your glory. Is there no end to your power and beauty?”

So poisonous was the reign of Ravenna, that nature turned on itself and people turned on each other. The lands died, and with it, hope. And all that time, she kept snow white imprisoned high up in the north tower.

“Mirror mirror, on the wall, who is the fairest of them all?” “my queen, on this day, one has come of age, fairer even than you. She is the reason your powers wane. The Snow White.” “Be warned. Her innocence and purity is all that can destroy you. But she is also your salvation, queen.” “Take her heart in your hand and you shall never again need to consume youth. You shall never again weaken or age.”

The Black curse:

“Your beauty is all that can save you Ravenna. This spell will make your beauty your power and protection. By fairest blood it is done. But, be warned. By fairest blood, this spell can be undone.”

The requiem for Gus (one of the dwarf lords who sacrificed his life to save the princess.)

Dark the stars and dark the moon. Hush the night and the morning loon Tell the horses. And beat on your drum. Gone their master. Gone their sun.

Dark the oceans. Dark the sky.

Hush the whales and the ocean tide.

Tell the salt marsh. And beat on your drum Gone their master. Gone their sun. Dark to light and light to dark.

Three black carriages three white carts.

What brings us together’s what pulls us apart. Gone our brothers. Gone our heart. Hush the whales and the ocean tide.

Tell the salt marsh. And beat on your drum Gone their master. Gone their sun.

Snow white has eaten the poisonous apple given by the evil queen, she was dead. After people sent her body to church, the huntsman was really regretted that he didn’t tell her he loves her. This is how he vindicates to the princess:

Well, here you are. All dressed up, like you are about to wake up and give me more grief. Am I right? You deserved better. I once had a wife, princess. Sara was her name. When I came back from the wars, I carried with me the stench of death and the anger of the lost. I wasn’t worth saving, that’s for sure. But she did so anyway. And I loved her so much. I loved her more than anyone or anything. And then I let her out of my sight and she was gone. And I became myself again. A self I never cared for. Until you.

See, you remind me of her. Her heart, her spirit. But now you, too, have gone. You both deserved better and I’m so sorry I failed you. I’m so sorry. But you will be a queen in heaven now, and sit among the angels. (Kiss)

After vindicate, the princess woke up she appeals all the people to march against the evil queen. This is what she said: Death favors no man,

We must ride like thundering waves under the tattered battle flag of my father. We have rested long enough. Frost to fire and fire to frost. Iron will melt,

But it will writhe within itself ! All these years.

All I’ve know is darkness.

But I have never seen a brighter light than when my eyes just opened. And I know that the light burns in all of you!

2

Those embers must turn to flame. Iron into sword!

I will become your weapon

Forged by the fierce fire that I know is in your heart! For I have seen what she sees, I know what she knows

I can kill her. And I’d rather die today than live another day of this death! And who will ride with me? Who will be my brothers?
