'This is Fairy Tale Island. A magical island where princes and princesses live alongside witches and monsters.'
'All sorts of things happen here. There's never a quiet day. Whenever trouble strikes, people call for us. The greatest heroes in the land, the Fearless Seven.'
The F7.
And among them, me.
Merlin.
'But on the day we defeated a dragon and rescued a kidnapped princess, everything changed.'
'When we saved her, she looked just like a witch. So we attacked immediately...'
That was our mistake.
Turns out, she wasn't a witch—she was a princess. A Fairy Princess!!!
Hey, how were we supposed to know?! She looked exactly like a witch. We've never seen a princess like that before!!!
'Anyway, the Fairy Princess decided to teach us a lesson and cursed us. It was the worst curse ever. Whenever someone looks at us, we turn into little green dwarfs.'
'The only way to break the curse is to receive a kiss from the most beautiful woman in the world.'
Are you kidding me?! In this state?!
One year later
Today, the same routine began again.
She went to the top floor where the magic apple tree stood and took off her cloak in front of it. Trying to smooth out her hideously withered face, she looked at the tempting apples hanging from the tree and spoke.
O magic tree, O magic apple tree. On this sunny day, bring me a joyful gift.
