The Curse
Load Full StoryNext Chapter"Hurry!" a royal guard shouted. "It's coming!" The guard ran as fast as he could until he reached the grand throne room.
"But Princess! I don't know what to do! Where will I live? Where am I even going?" Twilight asked. " Is there a book to read about this place?"
