Forever After

Folkloric characters like fairies, goblins, elves, trolls, ogres, giants or gnomes, wonderland, dark arts, magic, spell....(list goes on) They are awesome. I love Fairy tales. I still remember my childhood days. My dad used to tell me and my brother bed time stories.I admire the way in which it is narrated.Typically frame by frame scenes will be brought before my eyes as the story goes on. I cherish those moments :) and miss them now :(

Here is the place for my favorite fairy tale.

Once upon a time there was lovely princess. But she had an enchantment upon her of fearful sort, which could only be broken by love's first kiss. She was locked away in a castle guarded by terrible fire breathing dragon. Many brave knights had attempted to free her from the dreadful prison. But none prevailed. She waited in the dragon's keep in the highest room of the tallest tower for her true love and true love's first kiss. Do you expect a charming prince riding a white horse rescuing her and breaking the curse over her? Come on. It is different kind of fairy tale. So think out of the box. The princess is rescued by the hero of our story on behalf of a prince and ruler of the huge castle of Duloc. On their way to the castle hero falls in love with princess. It is natural to fall when princess is so beautiful. Then what prevents our hero from expressing his love to her? The main roadblock is now revealed. Hero is not a human being. He is an ogre. Is this love an one sided love? Nope. Princess too fancied the ogre. What made the lovely princess to incline towards an ogre? Flash-Back comes here. As mentioned in the beginning of the story, the princess was cursed by a fearful sort of enchantment and locked in the castle by a wicked witch. Can you guess what would be that terrible curse? Ahemm here it is... Curse is "Princess will turn into an ugly ogress once sunsets". Oh poor little princess. Thats why she was locked in the castle waiting for her true love and true love's first kiss to break the curse. Should princess marry the prince of Duloc or our ogre hero? Of course she should marry her true love. True love always succeeds. Princess marries her true love and her true loves first kiss transforms her completely into an ogress. They both lived happily in the swamp with their friends donkey, pussy, dragon, little wooden puppet, gingy, and other little fairy tale creatures. This is the lovely story of SHREK-1.
