First appearances...

First appearances are not always as they appear to be, for instance once inside the wrickety hut it was not anything like it was on the outside.

Inside it was a beautiful old cottage, with handcrafted wooden furniture made by the elves that swelled in the forest. Also the once was old wrinkled hag appeared to change in her own appearance to that of a beautiful bronzed skin princess with flowing ebony hair that reached to her knees, her old dress & cloak changed into the most gorgeous sequined iridescent ball gown (the kind the fairies supply to royalty)

The fairy princess was quite taken a back by this sudden change of scenery, was it a trap or was there another explanation for such a drastic difference from outside the walls of the wrickety hut to what lay inside???

She plucked up enough courage to speak to the beautiful princess that was now standing before her with a tray of the most exquisite foods she had seen.

"Excuse me young princess" the fairy princess said warily, "how could you possibly be the very same old wrinkled hag that ushered me inside from the cold?"

The princess bowed her head in shame & replied to the fairy princess "I didn't want to frighten you away, but the evil hag has put a most wicked enchantment on me"

For a moment the fairy princess looked puzzled, she didn't quite understand what the princess could mean by this. "You see the evil hag has cursed me with an enchantment that as soon as I step out of my beautiful cottage I suddenly change into an old wrinkled hag by a wrickety hut"

Suddenly it all made sense to the fairy princess, she knew that the evil hag knew bad magic & incantations, but she didn't know quite how terrible the evil hag was. She now knew her journey would be more treacherous than she once first thought.

The evil hag would not make reaching Fairyland easy for the fairy princess, in fact she thought it was going to be much more of a trek than she had made provisions for.

So the fairy princess asked the beautiful princess her name & if it would be ok to rest a couple of days safe in her company?.

The beautiful princess was called Theodora-Jasmina, she said it would be a pleasure to have the fairy princess stay a few days as it had been so long since anyone had gone near her since the enchantment had been placed.
