A/N: I'm back! New story, my lovely people! I got one story going and now this one so…I'm going to try my best to update this one often as well. Therefore, here's the start of our new Marx fairy tale called 'Lucky' based on Jason Mraz and Colbie Callait's Lucky!

Prologue

Once upon a time, there was a kingdom ruled by King Antony and his queen, Marina. The kingdom they ruled over consisted of humans and enchanted creatures from the Enchanted Forest. For years, the king and queen had been trying to have a child but unfortunately, the queen could not bare a child. One night, the king stepped out onto his balcony and got on his knees, asking God to give him one child, just one.

It seemed their prayers were answer for the queen was pregnant soon after. For the next nine months, the citizens of the kingdom anxiously watched the queen. Even the enchanted creatures watched in anticipation for the new royal to arrive.

Finally, the queen gave birth to a beautiful baby girl with beautiful brown hair and light blue eyes. They named her Lily like the beautiful flowers that grew in the queen's garden. The kingdom rejoiced and the king and queen decided to invite everyone in the kingdom except one person.

That one person was the sorcerer, Aamon.

Aamon was a well-known sorcerer but the problem with Aamon was that his magic was dark magic. He caused many problems in the kingdom and the king would not have him there especially with their past. Aamon was once an adviser to King Antony's father until Antony's father discovered that his adviser was dabbing in the dark arts. He banished Aamon to the southern regions of the Enchanted Forest, never to be seen again supposedly. However, Aamon appeared whenever he wanted to cause trouble and the latest was a flood.

It was handled but the king would not invite him. However, he invited everyone else including the fairies of the North. The fairies of the North consisted of two fairies who were sisters, Meredith and Sage.

They were twins, looking exactly the same with small wrinkle under their eyes but still looked elegantly beautiful. Meredith wore golden dress while Sage wore a green dress with both of their blonde hair pulled back.

As they arrived, they bowed toward the king and queen before looking at the newborn. They smiled before Meredith looked up the royals and informed, "We have gifts for the princess."

"We will each give one but our third gift will be combining by both of us," Sage added.

"We thank you," Antony bowed his head.

As they talked, out in the distance was a man standing with his three-year-old son. He touched his son's shoulder and whispered into his ear, "That's going to be the little princess that you'll be protecting, my son."

"I will," the little boy wondered with his gray eyes looking up.

His father nodded, "Yes Zander, you will."

"Zander," both the father and son looked up to see the queen looking over at them. She smiled at Zander and gestured for him to come over. Zander looked up at his father before his father gave a light push causing the young boy to stumble over to the queen. Zander looked at the queen with shy expression before she placed her hand out to him. "It's okay, Zander. Come over here," she whispered.

Zander moved closer, taking the queen's hand and letting her pull him closer to the newborn's crib. She lifted him up and he peered inside to see her. The little princess smiled up at him with Zander giving a small smile back. Marina smiled also and asked softly, "You want to say hi, Zander?"

Zander nodded with the queen placing him down. She then lifted Lily out of her crib and placed the newborn baby while she gestured Zander to sit down on a chair. Zander sat down patiently waiting until the queen finally placed the princess in his arms. He held her tightly while she looked up at him again, releasing a small giggle.

He smiled back and whispered, "Hi princess."

The baby giggled before reaching her hand out toward him. Zander lowered his head a bit with Lily gently touching his cheek. Their eyes locked before they broke apart at the sound of trumpets being played. The queen took Lily from Zander's arms and looked up as the announcer spoke, "Presenting his royal highness, King Jacobi and his son, Prince Hunter."

"Papa, I really don't want to be here," Zander could hear the prince complained.

"Hush Hunter, this will be your future bride," Jacobi informed.

"I don't want to marry a baby."

"Your Majesty, it is good to see you my old friend," Jacobi bowed to Antony. Antony greeted his friend back and began to speak while Zander watched Hunter approach Lily's crib.

He gave a small frown until Antony announced, "The fairies of the North will now present their gifts."

Zander stepped back and stood next to his father while Meredith approached Lily's crib, pulling out her wand. "Dear little princess, I give you the gift of creativity. May your beautiful creations bring out a new light to the kingdom." She waved her wand with a light golden spark falling over Lily. The baby giggled and Meredith smiled before kissing the top of the baby's head.

Sage then stepped forward, rolling her sleeves up then pulled out her wand. "Dear princess, I give you the give of knowledge. May your mind bring great things to you and the world," Sage then waved her wand with a green spark falling over Lily.

Both then approached together waving their wands until a loud thunder came. The doors opened, all the flames on the torches disappeared, and soon, darker flames appeared on the torches. Antony quickly wrapped his arm around his wife while she picked up Lily, holding her close to her body.

Zander's father wrapped his arm around his son protectively while they watched as a dark shadow slowly formed on the floor, moving toward them. It soon stood up and appeared a man with pure red eyes and black hair in front of them, wearing a long black robe and holding a long black staff.

"Guards," Antony shouted with Zander's father grabbing the handle of his sword.

The man smirked before raising a pale hand causing the men to all freeze. Suddenly a low growl came and they looked up to see a black wolf enter the chamber and sat next to the man. The man petted the wolf as he spoke, "I'm surprise, Antony. I thought you knew better."

"What do you want, Aamon," Antony demanded.

"I heard that your beautiful queen just gave birth to a daughter. You invited everyone including the annoying twin," Sage frowned and was ready to lunge at him but was held back by her sister.

"What about it?"

Aamon laughed, "I would think that you would want a gift from an old friend."

"You're not welcome," Zander's father shouted.

Aamon looked over and waved his finger, "You shouldn't speak so much, Marcus." Suddenly Aamon lifted his staff and hit it on the floor causing Zander's father to be pushed back, hitting the wall hard.

"Papa," Zander shouted.

Antony quickly grabbed the boy, holding him back while he looked up at Aamon. "Just get out of here, Aamon," Antony pleaded while struggling to hold back Zander.

Aamon shook his head and chuckled then lifted his staff while his wolf stood up as well. He then slammed the staff causing his wolf to become a shadow as he spoke, "Dear princess, you will indeed grow with beauty, creativity, and brains," he sneered. "But you will also grow with a curse on you. On the night of your eighteenth birthday, you will prick your finger on a spindle and die."

"No," Marina shouted, protecting Lily.

The wolf's shadow moved quickly wrapping around them for a moment with Antony and everyone watching helplessly. A loud evil laugh escaped from Aamon's lips before the wolf returned beside him.

"Grab him," Antony shouted. But, Aamon shook his head and quickly disappeared with a loud sound of thunder and a swipe of wind. Antony cussed inwardly before he released Zander who ran over to his fallen father. Antony wrapped his arms around Marina and Lily holding them tightly before they looked up at Sage and Meredith. "Can you do something," he pleaded to them.

Sage and Meredith gave sad expressions before they shook their head. "Papa," they suddenly heard and looked down to see Zander over his father's body.

"Marcus," Antony whispered before quickly walking over to his fallen friend. He bent down and touched his neck before he let out a small sigh, "Oh Marcus…"

"Papa…"

"Antony," Marina questioned.

He shook his head, "He's gone."

"Papa," Zander whispered in sadness. Tears ran down the boy's cheeks while Antony touched Zander's head gently before he looked down at his friend's dagger. He picked it up and gently handed it to Zander with a small smile. Zander wiped his tears before he hugged the king tightly.

"Antony," he looked up at his wife, "what will we do?"

"We can do something," Sage suddenly informed them. Meredith touched her shoulder before Sage stepped closer, "We can't stopped Aamon's spell but we can reverse a bit of it." Antony stood up with Zander in his arms, walking over to Marina as Sage and Meredith pulled out their wands.

They began to wave them while Meredith began the spell, "Though it seems death is imminent but instead of death-"

"It will be sleep and you will sleep, dear princess until your true love's kiss breaks the spell. Their love must be pure and true," Sage completed.

L&L

Antony did what any father would do. He had all the spindles in the kingdom burned before he looked back into the room to see his wife sleeping by the crib. Out in the distance and in another tower, Meredith and Sage watched with worried expressions. "You know this will not stop Aamon," Sage mumbled to her sister.

"I know. All Lily will have is a shelter life and maybe hiding from the world if her father agrees to leave her to us for a couple of years," Meredith informed her.

"If not, you know she'll still be protected."

Meredith gave a small smile, "I know."

The fairies were indeed wise and what they meant was that they made a small deal with the king. For a certain amount of time, they would take Lily into the Enchanted Forest to protect her from Aamon. But, they also knew that if they couldn't, another person could.

The royal chamber's door cracked open with a small head popping in. Zander's gray eyes looked around the room before he walked slowly in with his father's dagger on his hip. Yes, he was only three but he was a smart little boy for his age. He grabbed one of the stools, brought it over next to Lily's crib, and stepped onto it. He peered inside and placed his hand out toward Lily. She lifted her hand up and touched his hand before he gave a small smile and whispered, "I will protect you, Lily."

It was a promise to be true. It was a promise that would start an adventure of a lifetime and this is how the story begins…

So, you guys, how did you like it? Not my usual normal prologue but I found a remake of Sleeping Beauty needed a different kind of prologue. Marx style, of course. Please review, PM, comment, etc!
