the Three Ravens

5/17/2022

Back at the Wizard's home, he and Willie were busy trying to find a precedence for Kassia and Adrian's predicament....

"I can't find any record of a curse suddenly manifesting itself again years later...."

Then a lovely Princess arrived...

...accompanied by a Raven...

"I'm hoping you can help me..."

"This is my brother....or one of them."

"Years ago, our stepmother, who was actually a witch, cast a spell turning my three brothers into Ravens."

"It took me three years of total silence, not speaking a single word, while spinning and making them shirts out of nettles, in order to break the spell."

"But then, a few days ago, all three of them were suddenly transformed back into Ravens again..."

"I was hoping you could help...."

"So, this is your brother?"

"Yes. He's my youngest brother."

"The other two decided to go explore now that they could fly again."

The Raven grew restless....and started to fly about...

"Unfortunately, your brothers aren't the only ones re-affected by an old curse."

"So it might take us some time to try and figure out what's going on....and how to undo it"

Oh my gosh that jar of eyeballs!! All the details in the wizards study, this is probably one of my favorite sets! And who is this princess? I don't recognize her, she is beautiful.

It's one of my favourite sets too.

The 'Princess' is being played by my JID Isar. She's usually a red-head huntress, but doesn't get out of the display case much. I needed an 'extra', and she was the best candidate, so I put her into one of my FID gowns and changed her wig.

Ah, I recognize her now, though she fooled me at first too. She makes a very beautiful princess. I love the wizard set as well, and the jar of eyeballs might just be one of my favorite touches in it, Vanessa.

The wizardly set is definitely one of my favorites - all the wonderful fun little props and details!

Isar makes a lovely princess and that blonde wig suits her very well (as does the gown).

Love the raven too (his coloring is beautiful). *never more* (sorry, couldn't resist a little play on Poe).

Thanks.

I have to get creative when I need extras in the stories. I can't use someone whose already been in it - or will be - in some other role.

That's Miho's Raven, and he has special colouring since he's actually a Sorcerer. But again, he made a good 'extra'.

I love that tale of the sister reversing the curse on her brothers. It’s one of my favorites. I’m very intrigued by your tale of curses being restored. I can’t wait to see where it is going.

There are many versions of that fairy tale; the Seven Ravens, the Seven Swans, the Twelve Brothers, etc. My favourite version was the Jim Henson Storyteller version 'the Three Ravens'.

I figured the cats couldn't be the only characters affected, so decided to add a few more fairytale characters who are.

Each episode of this story gets more and more intriguing, I love how you've woven your own version of another classic tale into Adrian and Kassia's story.

The Wizard's study is one of my favourite sets too.

I didn't recognize Isar as the lovely blonde princess at first either (and I should have since I just ordered her myself a week ago)! She is very beautiful.
