Once upon a time...
There lived a maiden in a castle where she tended to her majesties' deeds. The maiden was getting older but her energy never ceased, she feared that she would never get married or have a child of her own. At the same point in time there also lived an aged mason whom also tended to the majesties. He was getting older and lonelier and wondered if he would ever have anyone that could soon take over his position, he had hoped to have a son. One night a mysterious figure came floating through the night gaining way toward the castle. The mysterious character approached the King speaking quiet with haste. The King appeared to have much respect for the strange visitor, or maybe just fear. The following morning the King demanded the presence of his two highest servants to the throne. These servants were none other than the head mistress, Genevieve and the mason, Matheous. When they arrived the King promptly announced that the two peasants were to be married that evening. Genevieve then cried out, "Why must I marry to a man I do not know of, and why must it be so urgent?" The Queen slowly approached the pleading Genevieve and took her hand as she said, "It has been requested by a secret counsel that I dare not speak of. It is very important and there will be consequences if you fail your demands." The Queen gave her one last sorrowful look and Genevieve reported back to her quarters. Matheous was filled with confusion, what could it be in that secret counsel that would cause his Majesty to become so vulnerable.
That evening, in a dirty, lesser hall of the castle, Genevieve and Matheous were joined in matrimony. For the last time that night the King and Queen gave the couple their last demand. "You must go forth and conceive a child."The Queen exclaimed. "You will go to the cabin in the forest of Neska and return to your duties promptly in the morning." The King continued with a sense of discomfort. So they got their barings and set off through the forest of Neska. Now, Genevieve and Matheous were not even close to being acquaintances let alone a married couple since Genevieve was not in the slightest bit attracted to him, and neither Matheous to Genevieve. Still, the sorceress did not let this obstacle get in the way, she cast a spell that would envelop the forest with thick fog so that the couple would seperate while she worked her magic.
