“Escaped” by Pegasus

A fairy tale, by Pegasus Desmarais

Once upon a time, in a kingdom far, far away, there lived a king with a daughter. She had lots of special powers, like healing, turning invisible, and being really good at hiding.

A witch heard about these special powers and wanted them for her own, so she snuck into the castle and stole the princess away! She turned the princess into a talking frog and put her in a tower, far away from the kingdom she had grown up in.

The witch told the princess that she had seven nights to figure out how to turn back into a human, or else she would remain a frog for all time, and her powers would belong to the witch.

The princess, on the first night, turned invisible and snuck out of the tower. She knew that if she made it back to her kingdom, she would return human.

Her journey home was fraught (my word lol) with danger.

She fought off a snake that wanted to eat her, but she escaped.

She was almost eaten by a crocodile, but she escaped.

She was almost eaten by a heron, but she escaped.

At long last, she made it to her kingdom.

The instant she crossed the border, she became human again, right before the clock struck midnight on the seventh night.

Her father was so happy to have her home once more.

The End
