The Evermore Grimoire: Royalty
Princess Aurora (also known as Briar Rose) is a princess and the daughter of King Stefan and Queen Leah. On the day of her christening the evil fairy Maleficent made a surprise appearance out of anger because she wasn’t invited and put a curse on baby Aurora. According to Maleficent’s curse, before the sun sets on Aurora’s sixteenth birthday, she shall prick her finger on the spindle of a spinning wheel and die. However due to efforts of the three good fairies, the curse was altered to instead draw Aurora into a deep sleep that could only be broken by true love’s kiss.

I want adventure in the great, wide somewhere
I want it more than I can tell
And for once, it might be grand
to have someone understand
I want so much more than they’ve got planned

Mother knows best, listen to your mother
It’s a scary world out there
Mother knows best, one way or another
Something will go wrong, I swear!

I trained all those would-be heroes. Odysseus, Perseus, Theseus. Alotayusses! And every one of those bums let me down flatter than a discus. None of them could go the distance.
