Long long ago in an enchanted forest lived a wicked witch named Venom. Far far away from the forest lived a princess named Matilda. Venom heard the beautiful melodies of this beautiful princess from all the mocking birds that venture through her forest. Matilda was a sweet and loving young lady, with her beautiful auburn curls and her luscious eyelashes. All the kings men answered every one of her desires for her beauty and for respect.Venom once lived in the castle where Matilda grew up. She was an illegitimate child of the King conceived with a maid. The Queen had given birth to Matilda two years later. The King ordered his guards to banish Venom and her mother to beyond the outskirts of the castle. They were sent to the enchanted forest and were never to return to the kingdom.Venom's mother soon passed after they were banished from the kingdom. She was then taken in by a witch that lived on the far end of the forest, far far away from civilization.There she was raised with hatred and educated by dark magic, she swore she would seek revenge of the kingdom one day.Sixteen years had past and Venom had grown up to be a fine young lady with mysterious dark magical powers. She could manipulate the elements like no other, she could make the forest burn with rage and she could flood a kingdom with her tears. Matilda has now grown up to be a talented young lady with beauty and knowledge of that of Einstein.One sunny afternoon, Venom heard the mocking birds gossiping in the forest about the King is hiring servants. She decided at once that she had waited long enough and will seek employment at the castle only to seek revenge. She had been planning her revenge for the last sixteen years, mastering the craft of spells and potions. She then prepared a potion that would make herself irresistible to all men that lay eyes on her and forged new papers for a new identity; she is now known as Angelica Raven. She then changed into peasant clothing and headed north to the kingdom she was once banished from.At the audition at the castle, the headmaster noticed Venom and signaled for her to come forward to a room to speak to her in private. Apparently the headmaster was missing one girl for the entertainment he had planned for the King and the Princess tonight, he then asked Venom if she can sing and dance. Under her breathe she murmured a spell and instantly she had a voice that could turn sugar into syrup and dance skills that would make the black swan weep. The headmaster's eyes widened with astonishment and declared that she was hired for the evening. She shall be paid 20 gold coins at the end of the night, she will be fed a meal and will have a place to stay. But when morning comes she will have to audition for a permanent job again. Venom agreed on the assignment and was overjoyed that she will be in close proximity with the King tonight. Hoping that the King would notice her and perhaps keep her as one of his mistresses. She then thought of poisoning the King or perhaps put him under a spell and she could control the kingdom through him.To be continued...
