Chapter 8: The Curse Comes True

Her eyes were dazed, completely under the spell.

The fairies noticed Aurora was gone and hurried to find her.

 When they caught up, the princess had already reached out to touch the spindle.

“No—!” the fairies cried out.

 But it was too late.

The princess’s finger was gently pricked by the spindle.

She immediately fell down into a deep sleep.

 With tears in their eyes, the fairies carried her to her chamber bed.

The fairies waved their wands, and everyone in the castle fell asleep.

 In this way, they would wait with the princess for the miracle to come.

“Her fate is now sealed!”
