It was a peaceful interlude, this first meeting of Cinderella and the Fairy Godmother. In time, as Cinderella calmed down, as the fear receded, as she became acquainted with this friend of her father's, she even began to enjoy herself. The stories she heard, the knowledge she was being introduced to, even simple things like recipes being exchanged. Irish potato farls vs. piroshki (pierogi?) vs. Sudanese flat bread. As they broke bread together and shared laughter and memories a bond was being forged, one which would prove invaluable in times of trial. For there was trouble ahead for Cinderella. She would need courage, ingenuity, resilience and resourcefulness.
But for now there was peace, just for a little while. She had a new friend, a new role model. And, just as her father always taught her, she offered up grateful thanks for blessings received.

"I'm just so happy that you have come here to help me! " Cinderella said with a stunning smile. She was so pretty and with her new Godmother friend, Things seemed to be coming much clearer. She seemed much prepared and already she was listening hard to what her Godmother was explaining to her. The quest for freedom and love. Her godmother, specifically assigned to her, knew of the girl's fate and it would be sure to be a happy one if Cinderella followed the rules on the path which the Godmother had specifically set.
Armed with her very sparkling magic ball which was an orb of blue light , and the very curious looking receptacle containing the magic powder. It was a reminder of her task. The Sunflower wild Rose task. She was to collect 3 wild roses which were hiding in parts of the very flowery ,prickly forest. Typically wild roses have a single bloom with a five -petal flower. The easiest way to determine a Wild Rose is in their colour- They're almost pink! But this wild rose was much more unlike that. It was a royal purple rose , almost blacken red, matching the burnished rubies on her wrist and roses always stood for true love, and love and truth was her fathers message.
Furthermore, she needed to find 3 golden sunflowers too and sunflowers stood for long lasting happiness and joy and she remembered her father telling her when she was very young , If you combine sunflowers and roses together it signifies, unconditional love. The greatest, most unbreakable love of all. And it will stand the test of eternity. No-one and nothing can touch it , Not flesh , Nor Talk , Nor time- Or even that wicked witch that plagued the girl's mind.
The girl shed a tear , since the sunflower was her father's most favoured flower. Her god mother reminded her once more, in order to restore everything back to how it was .. She must find all 6 flowers join them , and arrange them and seal them with the magic powder , in a small bouquet to give to the "One she loves " at the end of her journey. If she failed the Sunflowers would learn to feel hate , disappointment, grief, sorrow and slowly grow scorned, turn ugly , and wrap around the forest , the girl , the family, all living things ......unleashing a hell of no return , Killing the whole world, would be the consequence, since the world should thrive on love unconditional, and truth and nothing more. The blacken roses would spew putrid acid and their thorns change into angry claws , multiplying sixty three thousand times and she , the Sunflower rose , and all in the world would get dragged down into the fiery pits of burning hell fire and flame. And all would combust.
After a guiding kiss on the cheek from her Godmother , She set off to do what she must in order to save her father.. and her mother. her family , and herself. ...and the world. Heeding the uplifting words that every time she
did find a rose or sunflower , Her mother would spit out every drop of poison that the evil witch had put inside the mothers body. Thus , saving her. But time, was of the essence for the chosen girl..
