1st Dream [Video]

[Aurora was surrounded by animals, an owl on her shoulder. If the way she carried herself didn't suggest royalty, the crown atop her head most certainly did. She looked back to the animals, offering a smile.]

If you're all sure then.

[The animals all nodded, the owl, in particular, offering a loud "HOO!"]

It is a pleasure to meet you all though I regret we do not have the pleasure of meeting in person. I am [She paused here, never having introduced herself this way before but knowing she would have to from here on out.] Princess Aurora, daughter of King Stefan and Queen Leah.

I am new to this kingdom and while there have been many things that have helped me understand everything, there's something I need some assistance with if you have the time to spare.

You see, there was... [How best to phrase this without causing massive amounts of concern or panic. She doesn't wish to worry anyone on her behalf.] quite a bit of magic done to me before I arrived here, and... because of what the magic entailed... I'm just not entirely sure how I'm awake. Does this place undo curses even done by the most powerful of beings?

[Unless all of them were under Maleficent's curse? It was entirely possible considering the faerie's power.]

A sleeping curse, upon pricking my finger on a spindle, I would fall asleep until awoken by true love's kiss. Or, that is how my aunts explained it. It was placed on me at my christening.

[chambermusicandtenpins]

I see. Is it possible that the curse was broken apart from your aunts before you arrived -- that is to say, someone kissed you?

[Video]

[beautyrest]

And then I arrived here... I suppose I am quite grateful it is broken, then even if I cannot be with my aunts and true love.

[chambermusicandtenpins]

You may still yet see them. This place does not seem to keep people forever.

[beautyrest]

May I ask how long you've been here yourself, sire?

[Video]

[chambermusicandtenpins]

Only a few months. I arrived this past September.

[Video]

[beautyrest]

Might you know the longest someone has been here?

[Video]

[chambermusicandtenpins]

The longest I have heard of is three years.

[Video]

[beautyrest]

I'm sorry, did... did you say three years?

[Video]

[chambermusicandtenpins]

That is the longest I have heard of, yes. Though others have stayed here for much less.

[Video]

[beautyrest]

And... our kingdoms are safe while we are gone?

[Video]

[chambermusicandtenpins]

As I understand it, our homes don't even know we're missing. No time has passed there.

[Video]

[beautyrest]

Well, I am grateful for that, at least. I don't want to worry my kingdom any more than I likely already have.

You need not fret over them. When you return, you will be there as if you never left, as I understand it.

[beautyrest]

[Right back to under her curse then.]

Hopefully, eternal sleep will feel just as quick once I wake up.

[Video]

[chambermusicandtenpins]

You are in eternal slumber back home?

[beautyrest]

Until it is broken by True Love's First Kiss, yes. [So... potentially never since she's not even met her betrothed and her heart still belongs to that peasant boy.]
