Snow White

37
Snow White, once the beloved princess of a prosperous kingdom, now lies in an enchanted slumber, her beauty undiminished but locked in an eternal stillness. Known for her gentle heart and unmatched kindness, she was cherished by all who knew her, save for her stepmother, the vain and cruel queen. The queen's envy of Snow White's beauty and purity led to the fateful moment when she ordered her stepdaughter's death.
Yet, fate intervened, and Snow White found refuge in the forest, under the watchful care of seven dwarfs who became her guardians and friends. They marveled at her resilience, for beneath her delicate exterior lay a spirit forged by hardship and survival. Snow White's days in the forest were filled with laughter, song, and a newfound freedom, but the shadow of the queen's malevolence was never far behind.
One day, disguised as a humble old peddler woman, the queen visited Snow White with a poisoned apple. Trusting and compassionate, Snow White accepted the gift, unaware that it held a deathly curse. The bite was taken, and the world around her darkened; she fell into a sleep so deep it was mistaken for death itself.
Now, Snow White rests within a glass coffin crafted by the grieving dwarfs, placed upon a sun-dappled glade where the forest whispers of her kindness and innocence. Her beauty remains untouched, a vision that speaks to the loss and longing felt by all who come across her resting place. The kingdom mourns, stories of her courage and grace spreading like the breeze, awaiting the day when a force as pure as her own heart might awaken her from the spell that binds her.
