Prologue
Once upon a time, on the mystical island of Avalon, there lived Lord Oberon and his beautiful Queen Titania. They ruled over the Faes or Fair Folk as they were known by mortals and the Fae were called Oberon’s Children. For many long years they longed for a child of their own but they had none. Finally a daughter was born and the whole Island rejoiced. While her parents were filled with great joy they knew that many with evil intentions would try to steal their daughter and use her powers for evil. So they named her Deirdre. Yes they named sorrow because they knew that their daughter would not have an easy life. But Oberon swore to protect his child and keep her safe from the outside world.
But to celebrate Oberon declared a celebration and all of the Children traveled back home to Avalon. Even those of low and high estate from the Kingdom of Disney, a kingdom which they had never seen eye to eye with, were invited in hopes that this show of good will would form an alliance on that most joyful day as they came together to pay homage to the infant princess.
Joyfully we now to our princess we come,
Bringing gifts and good wishes too,
We pledge our loyalty anew
Hail to the Princess Deirdre!
All of her subjects adore her!
Hail to the Lord!
Hail to the Queen!
Hail to the Princess Deirdre!
Health to the Princess,
Wealth to the Princess,
Long live the Princess Deirdre!
Hail Deirdre!
Hail Deirdre!
Health to the Princess,
Wealth to the Princess,
Long live the Princess Deirdre!
Hail to the Lord!
Hail to the Queen!
Hail to the Princess Deirdre!
They made welcome the 3 good fairies of the Disney Kingdom who had come to bless the child with a single gift, no more and no less.
Flora blessed the baby with the gift of beauty:
One gift, beauty rare,
Glow of moonlight in her hair,
Lips that shame the darkest rose,
She'll walk in starlight wherever she goes!
Fauna then came forward to give her gift: the gift of song.
One gift, the gift of song,
Melody your whole life long!
The nightingale her troubadour,
Bringing his sweet serenade to her door.
Just as the last fairy, Merryweather was about to give her gift there was a blast of wind as the doors flew open and swirled through the room. The room darkened before there was a crack of thunder and a flash of green light. After the light faded there stood Maleficent, the Mistress of All Evil.
Oberon ordered Maleficent to leave but she did not. Instead she gave the infant a terrible gift. She’d be cursed with darkness and before the clock struck 12 on the 24th of December of her 21st year she’d would succumb to the darkness within and lead the war against the Light or die.
She then disappeared cackling madly as Titania clutched her baby to her. Merryweather still had her gift to give and gave them a ray of hope. She said that if the princess found her true love and he truly loved her then her horrible fate could be avoided.
Oberon dismissed everyone and vowed to keep his child safe himself as he knew that others would try to come for her. Fairy Godmother and the 3 good fairies approached Lord Oberon and Queen Titania and presented them with a plan. They would take the baby into hiding and raise her to be good and protect her. Oberon would have none of it and in his rage he ordered them to leave.
Now Hades did not agree with Maleficent’s curse. He said that if the babe was allowed to live there was always the chance the curse could be broken and they'd be defeated. But Maleficent wouldn't hear of it and sent him on his way. Hades was furious to have been dismissed but he left. If there’s one God you don’t want to get steamed up, it’s Hades, ‘cause he had an evil plan.
He ran the Underworld
But thought the dead were dull and uncouth
He was as mean as he was ruthless
And that's the gospel truth
He had a plan to shake things up
And that's the gospel truth
That night while her parents slept and Deirdre was peacefully dozing in her cradle in the nursery, Pain and Panic snuck into the nursery and took the baby from her cradle. Oberon and Titania hearing her cries, to save her only she was gone. Titania collapsed by the overturned cradle in tears while Oberon roared, his fury exploding and could be felt all over Avalon.
Pain and Panic had been sent by Hades to make the child mortal and kill her. He didn’t want the chance of the babe growing up as the Fates had told him if she found true love and joined the Light then the Villains would be destroyed. Pain and Panic managed to get the baby away and force her to drink a potion that would turn her mortal and destroy her powers. But they were interrupted by a mysterious figure before the baby could drink the last drop. The figure took the baby to the world of reality and left her on the doorstep of a kind mortal couple who had longed for a child of their own. The figure knew that they would raise the baby and protect her.
Oberon sent out all the Children in a frantic search but by the time they found the baby it was too late. Faes were not allowed to interfere with mortal affairs and since their princess was now being raised by mortals they couldn’t take her.
With the help of the mysterious figure, the three good fairies and Fairy Godmother cast a spell so that everyone on Avalon and those in the Disney Kingdom except for the Princesses and the King and Queen would forget all about Deirdre and keep her safe.
The fae was mortal now
But since she did not drink the last drop
She retained her fairy strength
So thank her lucky stars
Oberon and Titania wept
Because their babe could never come home
They had to forget their precious baby
And send her very far
Though the villains' horrid plan
Was hatched before she cut her first tooth
The girl grew stronger ev'ry day
And that's the gospel truth
But the Villains never forgot and in the Kingdom 1020 years passed while in reality only 20 years had passed since the baby had been taken forward in time in the realm of reality. They knew the time was coming and soon she’d return. They would wait until the time was right. They knew that the curse would be complete. And nothing would stand in their way.
The Battle between Light and Darkness was at hand and the fate of the entire Disney Kingdom rested on the shoulders of one 20 year old woman who had no idea about was to come.
