The wicked

Once upon a time there sat a beautiful queen working on her embroidery in the middle of spring as she watched the cherry blossoms fall from the trees above her in the garden. As she worked she accidentally pricked her finger on the needle and as the blood fell to the ground it landed on the fallen blossoms. At that moment she made a wish for a child that she could not have to have lips as red as blood, hair as black as ebony and skin as white and soft as cherry blossoms. As she made her wish a large wind came a swooped up the petals and blood and carried it off in the wind.

After many weeks her wish came true and she was blessed with the news of her child awaiting its decent upon the world. As the months passed by she was nearing her time when her husband decided that they would go to the celebration of the New Year at a castle not to far from there home. As they made their journey home they did not anticipate what would happen.

As the wolfs howl echoed through the forest he looked over to his wife as she slept. Soon a jolt from the carriage awoke her and as another wolfs howl rang through the forest it sounded close. As he looked out his window he saw movement through out the woods and soon he heard the horses give a whine. Soon he felt the carriage awoke her and as another wolfs howl rang through the forest it sounded close. As he looked out his window he saw movement through out the woods and soon he heard the horses give a whine. Soon he felt the carriage shake and soon he could hear the coach man give a cry. He looked out to see the coach man pass by on the ground covered by wolves. As he stared at this he then hared the horse give out another cry as the carriage crashed through the forest. As it did he could hear his wife's cries and the howling of the wolves coming ever so closer to the carriage.

Soon he felt the horses restraints brake and they were thrown over the edge of the small cliff and fell to the bottom of the ice covered ravine below. AS he pulled himself out of the wreak edge he scanned the area for his beloved, soon he saw her and slowly made his way to her side. As he looked down at her he noticed the blood that covered the snow white ground she laid upon. As he looked at her, she uttered a single sentence as she pulled out the dagger she normally carried for protection. "You must save the babe."

As he looked down at his beloved he prayed to any and all gods who were listing to him to help him through what he was about to do. As the snow fell around them soon the only thing that could be heard around them was the screams of an infant.
