Once upon a time in the Kingdom of Fostovia, there lived a King and Queen. The only heiress eligible to inherit the thrown was their beloved daughter Penelope. On the day of her 16th birthday, there was a Ball thrown in her honor to celebrate the arrival of their beautiful new queen. Far away in a nearby kingdom there lived a wicked witch. She resented the royal family and thought that her son Mase should be the one to rule. On the night of the ball, she snuck into the palace to steal the beautiful princess. When no one was looking, she kidnapped her and brought her back to her cottage in the woods. Now that the princess was gone from the kingdom, her son would be the next in line to rule. When the rest of the kingdom discovered that the princess had been stolen, every knight and peasant in the town went to search for her. The King offered a thousand dollar reward to anyone who could bring his precious daughter home safely. But the witch was smart. She had hidden the princess somewhere deep in the woods, somewhere where no one would ever be able to find her. The princess spent the rest of her days living in the cottage with the evil queen and her son. Fearful that the princess might try to escape, the witch made sure that her son kept a close eye on her while she was out. Princess Penelope and Mase spent long hours together in the cottage. He taught her how to cook, clean and sew; something she had never learned to do in the castle. They grew quite fond of eachother and eventually fell in love. Mase felt guilty that him and his mother had captured her and brought her here to live in the cottage with them and they formulated a plan to set her free. He loved her and thought she deserved the life of royalty she was born into. One night when the evil witch was out, Mase took the princess and led her back into the kingdom so she could be reunited with her family. The kingdom was overjoyed to finally have the beloved princess back and they all lived happily ever after.
