~The Golden Flower~
This is a Janiel AU based off Disney's Tangled
• ••
Once upon a time
a single drop of sunlight fell from the heavens
and from this small drop of sun
grew a magic golden flower.
It had the ability to heal the sick and injured
as well as many other magical powers.
Centuries passed
and a hop, skip and a boat ride away
grew a kingdom.
The kingdom was ruled by
a beloved King and Queen.
And the Queen
she was about to have a baby.
but she got sick
really sick.
She was running out of time
and that's when people usually start looking for a miracle
or in this case
a magic golden flower.
A woman named Mother Maria
hoarded it's healing power
and used it to keep herself young
for hundreds of years.
And all she had to do
was sing a special song
Don't wait for the world to be ready.
One day while she was reviving her youth
she accidentally knocked over the bush she was hiding the flower under
and the kingdom guards found it.
The magic of the golden flower
healed the Queen.
A healthy baby boy
a Prince was born
with golden hair
and beautiful golden iridescent nails.
He was named
Jopunzel.
From his nails
even though he didn't know it yet
he could do magical things.
To celebrate his birth
the King and Queen
launched a flying lantern
into the sky.
And for that one moment
everything was perfect.
And then that moment ended.
Mother Maria returned
to steal back the magical powers of the flower
by trimming the end of one of Jopunzel's nails
His right pinky finger.
It didn't work
the off cut quickly turned brown
losing all its goldeness and magic
and it died.
Mother Maria realized she would have to steal the child
to harness the nails healing power
and keep it for herself.
She was gone
just like that
and so was Jopunzel.
The kingdom searched and searched
but they could not find
the Prince
For deep within the forest
in a hidden tower
Maria raised the child as her own.
She would polish
Jopunzel's beautiful nails
while he sang the song
Don't wait for the world to be ready.
Maria had found her new magic flower
but this time
she was determined to keep it hidden.
Jopunzel- Why can't I go outside?
Mother Maria- The outside world is a dangerous place
filled with horrible, selfish people
you must stay here, where you are safe.
Mother Maria- Do you understand flower?
Jopunzel- Yes, Mama.
But the walls of that tower
could not hide everything
Jopunzel watched through his window.
Each year
on his birthday
the King and Queen
released thousands of lanterns into the sky.
In hope that one day
their lost Prince
would return...
(A/N: OMG GUYS!! IT'S UP! I hope you like the prologue to my new book The Golden Flower. There are some things you need to know; so this is based off Disney's Tangled/Rupunzel with a little Janiel twist. This story was inspired by UneFilleDeLaNuit and Ivy_Kay so go check out their books as well, they are great writers. In this story instead of super long hair Jopunzel (Joey) will have regular length golden (his natural colour irl) hair (because Joey with long hair would be terrifying) and magical golden/iridescent nails. He gets his powers from the nails and no even though he can't cut his nails they do not grow very long (that would also be terrifying) it's part of the magic. Also Maria for a villain is funny because Joey often calls her a witch. Keep In mind that a lot of things will be the same as the movie but not everything.)
Hope you enjoyed and are excited for this story cause I am! Please add, vote, comment, follow, etc. Thanks, love you, see you soon, Good Janiel Bye!!!)
