Last Gift: Love

You will not die.

This I promise. I will use everything within my power to protect you. Death is not for you, not at this time.

I came here today unsure of what I could give you. You see, I don't really believe in gifts as much as others might. Gifts are merely tokens, physical examples of warm thoughts. Was I sent here to make your life perfect? Even more my sister arrived this was not my intention.

You see, no one is ready for perfection. Were you suddenly placed in a perfect world, what would you become? You can't be placed in one of those, you cannot be made perfect.

So I truly had no idea what I would give you.

So here I am, giving you merely a promise combined with a bit of magic. Whatever happens to you, you will not die, not until death is ready for you. May your life be long or short, it is yours and no one has the right to take it from you.

Instead, you will sleep.

I hate to take you away from the world, but sometimes it does not due to throw ourselves into the world. Sometimes you will need you and just you. I want you to have this.

The spell will last a long time, I'm afraid. Things will be different.

It will be an adventure.

You will be awakened by a kiss. A kiss of true love. Don't worry, you'll see him. I will give you dreams. I will listen. Only if you approve will be allowed near you.

Perhaps this is my gift to you. I see it merely as a little game. I'm a hopeless romantic, I suppose.

So, someday, I'll send someone—if he interests you. And I will watch from afar, smiling to myself, wondering if things will go the way I want them to. Maybe they won't. Who knows? But I'll enjoy it and I hope that you'll enjoy it.

So prepare yourself, princess. Be ready and worthy.

I am the last one to give a gift. I hope you like it. You deserve it.

I give you the gift of Love.
