Isabel Grace, the servant girl.

A long time ago, in a time no one remembers, lived a beautiful young girl, in the Kingdom of Enchantia. Her name was Isabel Grace. She was an orphaned sixteen year old. Isabel Grace was just like every other servant in the palace. She tried to be invisible. But that was hard with beauty like hers. She had long, wavy, dark brown hair and hazel eyes. Her skin was tan and flawless. She was like a goddess. Some people call her "the fairest of them all." Snow White had died long before Isabel was born, so Snow couldn't be the fairest anymore.


Isabel wasn't treated like all the other servants. She was the king and queen's favorite. Isabel and the queen had great conversations about anything, all the time. Isabel would even dine with the king and queen from time to time. But Isabel didn't read much into it.


Isabel was the smartest person everyone knew. She loved to read and write. Sometimes, she would take one of the queen's prize winning stallions and ride into the Forbidden Forest to read. The Forbidden Forest was enchanted to be hidden from commoners outside of the palace. No one knew where Isabel went or why.


One day, Isabel took one of the queen's stallions and rode into the the forest, taking snacks and a book with her. She got off of the horse and stroked his muzzle.


"Good boy, Aztec." Isabel said. She tied his bridle to a tree and sat down against a tree to read her book.


As Isabel was about read, she noticed something was different. Something was out of place. She looked around with her eyes narrowed, suspiciously. Then she spotted it: a huge stone covered in in ivy. A few words were hidden under the plants, but they were impossible to read. Isabel got up and and walked towards the stone.


"Huh..." she said to herself. She pushed the plants away from the stone. But they grew back as soon as she moved them. "What the --"


She circled around the stone, puzzled. Then she followed the plants until she reached the origin point. The ivy plants were connected to a large tree that was in the middle of the forest. Something told Isabel to put her hand on the tree truck, so she did. When she did, the plants curled up and wrapped around her hand, where she was touching the tree. The ivy glowed with beautiful green light as it curled around her hand.


"WHOA!" Isabel said in amazement.


The entire tree started to glow. When it stopped, the plants let go of Isabel's hand, curled up, and disappeared. Isabel looked behind her at the stone. The stone was clear, no ivy anywhere to be seem. She walked back towards the stone, now uncovered, and read the writing that was inscribed:


"The glowing of the tree and reading of the stone,
Shall reveal the TRUE heir to the throne."
