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 the rose, 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 blood,
hair as black as a raven's wings, and all with the strength
of that rose."

on the wall
Who's the fairest of them all?
My Queen, on this day has come of age
fairer even than you. She is the
reason your powers wane.
My Queen, you have defied nature
and robbed it of its fairest roots but on
this day there is one more beautiful than you,
Be warned, her innocence and purity
is all that can destroy you. But she
is also your salvation, Queen. Take
her heart in your hands and you shall never
again need to consume youth. You
shall never again weaken or age.
She is the only one who could break the spell and
destroy the Queen, and the only one pure
enough to save the Queen
She is the one who can
end the darkness,
She is life herself,
She will heal the land, she is
the one
Her name is Snow White
She has
Hair; black as a raven's wings
Lips;red as blood
Skin; white as snow
Bring me your heart my dear, dear
Snow White.
