Grimm's Snow White

---

Fell to earth.

The fallen star burned

as an eternal light

And ultimate source of power,

Which became known

as the viridian flame.

From this flame emerged two races.

First, the reptilian beasts,

defenders of the flame,

Then the elves,

Each in possession of an amulet

Containing the flame's power.

Some resolved to remain isolated,

Guarding the flame where it fell,

Deep in the mountains of northfalia.

Most chose to live among the humans,

In hope of a better life.

But the humans have

begun to enslave the elves

And exploit their gifts.

There are murmurs that

this is the beginning

Of the great prophecy.

It tells of a mighty luminary

Who will rise in an

era of great turmoil.

This is where our story begins.

Guards, this way!

Beasley, I do not see any deer.

They must have got away.

We wandered over the

border into northfalia.

Let's return.

It's only for sport, sire.

Let us pursue the deer.

No, the beasts run free here.

It's not safe, nor is

it true to our treaty.

Come.

Beasley!

Beasley!

Beasley...

It simply cannot be true.

How is it possible?

It simply cannot be true.

How is it possible?

Much better.

Thee I invoke by the moonlit sea,

The standing stone,

and the twisted tree.

Mirror, mirror, on the wall,

Who is fairest of them all?

You are, my queen.

Isabella?

Has the prince of northfalia arrived?

No, madam.

It is quite some distance

from the northfalian throne.

You still refuse to confess

That the flame is on the prince's land?

As I've said before,

The flame is only a myth, madam.

Aah!

What is a hunter from whitevale

Doing on my lands?

Your land?

Oh, I'm very sorry, sire.

I was hunting the beasts

at the order of the queen.

Hunting on northfalian land

is considered an act of war.

Apologies, sir. It was all innocent.

Go back to your kingdom.

And pull your trousers

up, for heaven's sake.

Yes, sire.

A harmless mistake, sire?

No. It is not a day since

the death of the king,

And already they

violate our peace treaty.

We cannot afford another war, sire.

I know.

So I must find a way to

make peace with the queen

That is more lasting.

So it is to be a marriage, then.

Whitevale covets our land

And we have not the

resources to fight them off.

It seems beneficial for both kingdoms.

Sire, your leadership is impressive,

But what of your happiness?

My happiness?

Do you not want to find

love, like your parents did?

I must do what is right for the kingdom.

Sire?

The queen is waiting.

My queen.

His royal highness, price

Alexander of northfalia.

I am truly sorry for your loss.

It is indeed a great loss for us all.

It simply cannot be true.

How is it possible?

Those awful beasts.

I have sent my men out to kill them all.

Yes, your highness.

We found one of your men on the way here

On northfalian land.

That's a dreadful mistake.

Though, of course, if

you would like our help

Eradicating those beasts from your land,

You have but to ask.

Thank you, but no.

In my kingdom, we must live in harmony

With all our creatures.

I'm just so pleased that the dear king

Had a chance to sign the peace treaty

Before he died.

And yet, somehow I wonder

If it will hold...

Without the king himself

here to uphold it.

Perhaps if we were to consider...

A union of both our kingdoms.

The audacity.

You dare speak to me of marriage

While my dear king

lies nearly still warm.

I meant no offense.

Please forgive me.

Sir, I do understand

The reasoning behind

your sudden proposal.

However, I cannot consider it here...

Not on this day.

Perhaps you would be our

guest here at whitevale

Where we might discuss it

more fully in the coming days.

It would be my pleasure.

Snow white, princess of whitevale.

Snow, dear, welcome home.

You are the queen's daughter?

Step-daughter.

Of course.

It is an honor, princess.

Well, I'm sure you must be very tired.

You've had a long trip.

Oh, you've been traveling? Abroad?

I have been at the convent.

A nun?

No. I have not yet felt the calling.

Sire, we should retire.

Thee I invoke by the moonlit sea,

The standing stone,

and the twisted tree.

Mirror, mirror, on the wall,

Who is the fairest of them all?

My queen, you are full fair, 'tis true,

But there is one in the kingdom

More fair than you...

Snow white.

It cannot be.

It will not be.

Oh!

I'm sorry, princess.

I didn't mean to disturb you.

No. Uh... I should go.

No, no, no. Please, you stay. I'll...

How is it I haven't known you before?

The queen sent me to a convent

When I was a little girl.

Soon after she married my father.

And now your father's gone,

You must be needed here.

No. The convent is my home now.

There's nothing for me here.

The most wonderful thing about whitevale

Was once the forest.

I would visit often

when I was a little girl.

But now the forest offers no solace.

It is lonely and barren

Now the queen has

gotten rid of the elves.

My forests are enchanted still

And home to a great

many elves and beasts.

My mother used to tell me a story

About the northfalian forest

In which a star fell from the heavens

And landed deep in the forest,

Where no human had ever set foot.

And from that star

Sprang the elves and all their magic,

As well as the beasts who guard them.

And that one day a mighty luminary

Would unite all creatures

For a thousand years of harmony.

Princess, I would be delighted
