At first they thought she must be a friend of the kings then she began to swoop

Lovers seemed to be her target

Blood on the son of the king 

forever nightmare material we fear

They were meant to be 

it was written for them

and they followed the trail of the thorny rose maze as they were told.

What happened next was that before they knew it something was between them

he was a stormy character 

a disciple of a different time and substance.

with him he brought new challenges to the kingdom 

all the princes grew mistrustful of the purity of their future queens 

the stranger was the only hinderance to the quiet order their lives had dealt out.
