'Missing: Snow White'



Looking through the clear plastic lid at where is true love should have been, all Prince Flaurien could see was a small bouquet of wild flowers, that the dwarves had lovingly picked and placed in the coffin, lying lifeless where once a beauty with skin as white as freshly fallen snow, had been in a deep sleep. She was gone. This was wrong. This was all wrong.

Had someone taken her? Or had someone else shared true love's kiss with is princess and woken her? Surely, they couldn't have happened. He was her prince. He had danced with her at the ball and spoken words of love to her as she stood high above him on the balcony. It was he who had searched the kingdom, spent nights, devoid of comfort and luxury, in the woods, succeeding where the Queen's men had failed - he had found where the Princess had fled to. It was improbable, no impossible, that another could be capable of breaking the spell.

"She'd have said 'Goodbye'." a voice reassured from across the royal resting place, "to us, I mean, if she'd woken up."
"Which means she's been taken." Prince Flaurien asserted, "I don't know if that's better or worse,"
"Both. Neither." The voice replied, Prince Flaurien looked up, reluctantly tearing his eyes from where a mass of ebony hair should have been fanned across the pillow. The voice had come from the apparent leader of this band of brothers, Doc.
"What it does mean," Doc continued, "is that she still needs help. It means, she is still your's to rescue."
"It's your destiny." Piped up the cheeriest of the Princess' new friends.
"Do we really think he's up to it?" a sour-face with salt-and-pepper hair and beard to match grumbled, " The fool's been staring at the box like it'll bring her back. It wont."

Determination once again filled the Prince. He would find his Princess, he would rescue her, he would prove Grumpy wrong. Feeling resolute, he opened the box and began to inspect the interior for clues. Anything to help him solve the Kingdom's biggest mystery: who had kidnapped the cursed Princess? Who had taken Snow White?
