Kagome tilted her head in curiosity, “What does a rose having thorns have to do with the curse?”

The witch sighed and made herself more comfortable. “This is a very long story child perhaps we should have some tea and snacks.”

Kagome nodded her head and swiftly stood. Making her way to the door she pulled it open and asked her maid, “Sango could you please bring some tea and snacks please?”

Sango looked up from her seated position by Kagome’s door. She stood with a bow and a smile, “Of course Lady Kagome I shall return shortly.”

Kagome sat back down across from the witch and gave her a nod to continue.

The witch pulled out a piece of parchment, “There was a prophecy about you Lady Kagome. It was foretold that a priestess of great power would be born to this family but it would not be a normal birth.”

Kagome asked quickly, “What do you mean not a normal birth?”

The witch chuckled, “In a moment dear, it was said that the young princess would prick her finger on a rose thorn and that was how the great power would be created. Your father was angry so he had all of the roses ripped from the ground when the princess was born. That was when the curse was placed on the kingdom. You the king did not want this to happen.”

Kagome interrupted again, “If all of the roses where ripped away how would the prophecy be fulfilled?”

The witch smiled and continued, “By fate a single white rose had begun to grow once more in the gardens hidden from view. When the princess was two years of age she had been in the garden with her nanny and she found the rose.  Children that age are curious by nature so while her nanny was not looking she made her way to the rose. When she tried to grab it though she pricked her finger on the thorns so she snatched her hand away and began to cry as she made her way back to her nanny.  The rose had absorbed her blood and her finger had healed as soon as she snatched her hand away. The nanny did not see anything wrong so thinking that the princess was tired she took her back into the palace for a nap. Once the princess was in her pajamas and asleep the nanny left.”

There was a knock on the door so the witch stopped her story for the moment.
