8_13OnceUponATime

The fair Lady Sadie and the gallant Sir Sam were walking through Epping Forest on their way to have a picnic in the garden. Along the way, they were greeted by many woodland friends, including Buck the white-tailed deer. They crossed the arched bridge and decided to have the picnic next to Sadie’s favorite pond. As they unloaded the basket of fruits and cheese onto the checkered picnic blanket, they found an unusual cake that was hidden among the treats. Not knowing the enchanting powers that the cake held, they both ate the cake and fell into a deep sleep. Four pixies, who were admiring the gardens, found Sadie and Sam fast asleep and immediately knew that a powerful spell had been cast over them. They took Sadie and placed her in a glass coffin, deep in the forest, so that they could watch over her until her prince could come to break the spell…
Sam awoke in the tower of his castle to find that his good friend, Cosmio, the powerful sorcerer had broken his sleeping spell. Cosmio suggested that Sam should tame the most powerful dragon in the land so that it can guide him to Sadie. Sam brought the dragon back to his castle and named him Tatsu, meaning “dragon.” Together Cosmio and Sam created a powerful spell which enabled Tatsu to speak. The dragon told Sam that not only did the spell over Sadie put her in a deep sleep, but it also made her invisible to her prince! Tatsu guided Sam to the garden mazes and told him to find his way out of the labyrinth and back to her Kingdom gardens. After successfully navigating the maze of hedges, Sam learned of a map that would guide its owner to whatever he couldn’t find. The map was given to the winner of the nearby archery tournament, so Sam entered the tournament and completed the challenges, hereby winning the map! He traveled back to his castle and studied the map with Cosmio. The wizard handed Sam a pair of ocular lenses to help him read the hidden clues on the map. Slowly, the map came into focus… Sam saw where to search for his spell-bound princess! He asked Cosmio for a potion that would break Sadie’s sleeping spell, but the powerful sorcerer had misplaced the spell book! After searching the library, the book was found on the top shelf of the last bookcase. Sam sat down and read the list of items needed for the spell. Taking the list, he headed out into the Kingdom to collect the items. He found a rare orange starfish on the ocean floor, a magical toadstool from Adventure Hub and earned a lucky horseshoe from Take Aim. Next he collected an everlasting flame from the fires in Ardor Square and then rushed over to Sadie’s Forecourt to grab a few purple ribbons that were hanging from the lances. The last items on the list was a photo of Sadie. “Where could I find this?” Sam wondered. Time Pieces of course! Quickly, he ran over to check the photos on the table in the lobby. Seeing that they were all mixed up, he played a game of Time Pieces and sorted them out. With all of the items that were needed for the spell, Sam returned back to The Wizard’s Tower and handed them to Cosmio. The wizard took each item and worked his magic into a potion. Poof! Cosmio handed the portion to Sam in a small vial. Lady Sadie wouldn’t be asleep for much longer! Sam hurried over to his Shoppe to get a Magic Wand Pin to cast a spell and decided to buy a Rose of Friendship Pin to give Sadie once she wakes up.
Standing next to sleeping Sadie’s glass coffin and holding Cosmio’s potion, Sam waved his magic wand and said, “Sadie, my lady, my heart beats only for you. Awaken now from your deep sleep, it is time for you to come to.” As he poured the potion over the glass coffin, the magic sleeping spell broke and Sadie awoke! Sam smiled at his princess and handed her his cherished Rose of Friendship Pin. “Sam!” exclaimed Sadie, “You’ve found me!” There had been many new additions to the Kingdom Sadie had fallen asleep, so Sam took her to visit all of their Kingdom Character friends. After a ride on the High Seas, Sam told Sadie about his quest to find her and all of the items that he had to gather for Cosmio to make the potion. Upon hearing of Sam’s adventures, she asked how long had she been asleep. “Since the Kingdom began,” replied Sam. Together they traveled to see the pixies and thanked them for watching over Sadie during the spell. Sam then brought Sadie to The Wizard’s Tower and introduced her to Cosmio. “Thank you for your help.” she told the wizard. “Welcome back, fair lady,” he replied.
With your help, Sir Sam was able to find and wake Lady Sadie. They are so happy to be back together in the Kingdom once again and are glad that you could join them! This fairytale is at an end, but Sadie and Sam’s story continues with new themes, Realms, and more!
