In an age of kingdoms crowned by light and guarded by ancient magic, a royal child was born beneath a sky filled with celebration and prophecy. Princess Aurora, radiant and pure, was blessed at birth by three powerful fairies, each gifting her with beauty, grace, and a spirit as bright as the dawn. But not all were invited to rejoice.
From the shadows emerged Maleficent, a dark sorceress feared across the land, her power as vast as her wrath. Enraged by her exclusion, she cast a terrible curse upon the newborn princess: before the sun set on her sixteenth birthday, Aurora would prick her finger on the spindle of a spinning wheel, and fall into a sleep as deep as death itself.
The kingdom trembled.
