The imprisoned fairy was handed the eldest of the four princes.
The fairy gave him beauty,
the next intellect,
and the third strength.
The fourth smiled upon her sweetly. She wavered before twisting him into a deformed monstrosity.
Years after the fairy’s execution, the king died.
The first heir, obsessed with self-image, abdicated.
Always “knowing best”, the second was stabbed to death by his advisors.
The third died in an avalanche of boulders he caused.
The hunchback ruled for forty years, blessed by The Fairy Curse.
