Regina meets her soul mate online. (EF edition)

Because my 7th submission was a manip that I published on my twitter, here's my 7th written submission. There's also an edit that goes with it over on my twitter if anyone's interested.

I'm sure this isn't what anyone had in mind for this prompt but I saw a photoshop tutorial and my brain did this. Hopefully you'll like it.

Once upon a time, in the famous forest of Sherwood, there was a boy with beautiful brown curls and dimples that would make anyone's heart swoon.

The boy was a joyous one, always laughing and running around with his father and uncles under the protective lights of the sun and moon. However, when he turned five, something inside the young boy's eyes started to shift, the beam that was theirs slowly dimming and his dimples now absent.

Seeing that his son seemed so wistful, his father decided to have a talk with him. So, he brought him by the lake neighboring their camp. He kneeled by his side and asked him what had him so sorrowful. The boy replied that his heart was heavy for he didn't understand why he didn't have a mother. The boy's father was surprised but didn't let it show. After all, perhaps it was time to tell the story of his lost love. He did just that and the boy understood that his mother was now in another world, watching over him. His father thought this story would suffice to appease his boy's thoughts but as he was about to stand up and head back deeper inside the forest where a merry fire was awaiting them, he felt a tug on his shirt. When he looked back into his son's eyes, the boy told him something that left him speechless.

"Can we send mama a flower in this other world? So, she knows we're thinking about her… So, she isn't lonely."

As surprised as he were, there was no way the boy's father would deliberately upset him so he decided that there was no harm in entertaining the idea that somehow, they could communicate with their loved one. Thus, he decided to send off to the horizon a boat full of the pinkest roses in all realms, in remembrance of their lost one. Then, the two went back to the camp and the boy's dimpled smile returned to his place.

What neither counted on was for fate to meddle in their little family affair and miles up north, in the mysterious Enchanted Forest, a soon-to-be-married young princess was also desperately trying to find a reason to smile when a dove appeared behind her, a beautiful pink rose inside its beak.

I hope you enjoyed. I know it's short but it goes with the edit.

I wanted to thank everyone who reviewed my OS, it truly means more that I can say.

Thank you.
