Once upon a time, In the land we had visited not so long ago there lived a Queen whose daughter the Princess had left to live with the King. The Queen was fill of sorrow and hatred so she locked her self in an ivory tower high above the clouds where no one could reach her, least of all the Princess who had broken her mother's heart.
One day word got to the Princess that the young Prince, her brother, was going to visit the Queen in her tower so the King decided he was to take the Princess so she could visit the Queen and the Prince. The Princess knew that her mother would be pained to see her, especially if she was accompanied by the King, but the Princess missed the Queen and simply wanted a smile.
When the Princess arrived at the ivory tower the King remained at the edge of the woods so the Princess could go alone. When she arrived she watched as the Prince climbed a rope into his mothers arms. The sounds of joy and laughter floated from the window. She could picture her mother's smiling face. The Princess sucked in a deep breath and reached out for the rope, but when she did the rope was ripped from her grip and hauled into the tower.
The Queen's face popped out the window. The Princess opened her arms to her, hoping there had been a mistake. The Queen wore an expression of loathing.
"As long as you live with the King you cannot be my daughter" she shouted, closing the window behind her.
The Princess crumbled to the ground, tears flowed down her face. The Queen could never love her again and the Princess would have to stop loving her too.
Suddenly silhouette wings sprouted between her shoulder blades and carried her far, far away where she found open arms and was loved.
