1 poisoned apple. 🍏

7 banished dwarfs.

32 days. 📅

One Queen. 👸

Then I asked the Magic Mirror to tell it like it is. I beseeched it to answer me 4 questions at midnight. 🪞

"Is this death-sleep permanent?" Yes.

"Does it look like a solo hag's curse?" No.

"How many stepmothers have you seen execute a plot like this?" Zero.

The last one: "Who is the fairest of them all?" It didn't hold back.

That last answer changed everything.

I built a foolproof assassination scheme in 32 days. Alone. No Huntsman. No royal funding. Then I asked the Mirror to write the story from its reflection. Every spell. Every 4 am cauldron brew. Every time I rejected a perfectly lethal apple because the shade of blood-red was 5% off. 🔮

I didn't change a word. My pet raven read it and said, "The Mirror really knows you. Really knows you, and the world." 🐦‍⬛

No one can stop me now.
