The Tale of the beast

Once Upon a time, in the land of Rotisé France, Lived a very stubborn and arrogant Prince. Who was extremely rude towards people who were lower than he was. One evening, The Prince was enjoying his time during yet another evening ball. Suddenly, A mysterious Stranger, covered in a black cloak approached the Prince's throne.

"I'm just a simple traveler, here to offer you a small gift of appreciation... your highness" The cloaked stranger said holding a small red rose.

Uninterested, The Prince refused the Gift and rudely shooed the stranger away. Then, unexpectedly,The cloaked stranger turned into a beautiful Enchantress

"It was kind of you not to call me ugly...but deep within you is a heart of selfishness and cruelty" The Enchantress says as she looks down at the Prince.

"Please enchantress... Please forgive me"

"It is too late for an apology… You are here by cursed to be turned into a hideous creature..."

With those words,The Enchantress Turned the Prince into a Somewhat of a beastly form.

"Until Your heart can become pure again..only an act of true love and compassion can break the spell"

Horrified...The Beast kneeled on the ground, extremely miserable, Regretting his actions entirely.

He spent the rest of his days alone, Feeling nothing but complete emptiness,he had questioned in his mind and only his mind alone...

Who could ever learn to love a hideous and cruel beast such as he is.

"If My curse is not broken..I will forever remain a beast until my time is near…"

Overtime… He waits for someone to walk into those castle gates so that he can be freed, but every time someone comes to the castle, people will run away.

As time went on, The beastly Prince soon gave up on showing any Romantic feelings, because his chances to ever fall in love were completely slim to him.

"I should've just accepted the rose... I should've been kinder" The beast said as he looked himself in the mirror.

The Beast soon realized that the feelings of greed and cruelty came from his father, The deceased King.

Before he became the beast. The Prince was pressured to become the ruler of the Kingdom by his father after the Queen's sudden disappearance.

The Beast, Angered by his past, Throws all the old memories of his father across his bedroom.

One night... The Enchantress returned, Giving the beast a stern warning…

"Now do you understand?... your past has changed your present…"

"Why have you cursed me Enchantress...?"

"Because you my fallen prince,have lost your kindness a long time ago…I see a soul that needs both healing and self-improvement"

The beast fell to his knees, asking for guidance. However, The Enchantress stayed silent.

"Only You must learn to love again, in the presence of another ... only then will the person truly show their true…love towards you..."

As the years grew longer and time faded, The beast lingered through his Palace. That same question fell from his mind.

Can anyone truly learn to love a beast??
