But curses, it seems, are made to be broken. When Prince Charming gave Snow White True Love’s Kiss, the princess awoke. The two were soon married, and The Evil Queen was furious. She stormed their wedding, declaring that she would enact a curse so evil, it would rob everyone in the land of their happiness. She set about acquiring The Dark Curse, battling one of her only friends, Maleficent, for it. The Curse demanded a sacrifice, so she cut out the heart of her prized steed, yet it wasn’t enough. The Queen sought out guidance from Rumplestiltskin, the man who had created The Curse in the first place. In exchange for a life of comfort in the new land—and the ability to get whatever he wanted should he say “please”—he told her she had to sacrifice “the thing she loved most.” That night, she tore the heart out of her beloved father’s heart and used it to cast The Dark Curse, blanketing the land in a dark mist and changing the fates of everyone in Fairy Tale Land forever!
