there once was a gypsy witch
who lived in the deep dark wood she was a solitary witch but she occasionally enjoyed the company of those who wandered near her fire it was on one of those nights her daughter was conceived a man with a name she couldn't pronounce lets call him douchebagstilkson anyway nine months later daughter of fire was born and the gypsy witch carried her everywhere singing her songs and telling her stories douchebagstilkson wandered every day and all day looking for brighter shinier things some days he didn't even notice he had a daughter of fire years later when the gypsy witch had given her heart to the traveling poet and the daughter of fire was much older douchebagstilkson started coming around wearing white knight armor and insisted it had always been this way which confused daughter of fire and gypsy witch he didn't tell the gypsy witch that he planned to gift their daughter of fire to the ice queen the gypsy queen sang spells in to the fire like it was any other day and when the traveling poet read her sonnets by the fire at night she ignored the visions coming from the crystal ball in her caravan soon the traveling poet was living in her caravan with her and the douchebagstilkson would return daughter of fire with no explanation as to why she acted strangely daughter of fire only ate soup now and wore heavy winter woolens on hot summer nights she smiled less and became angry with her witch mother when she wanted her to drink nettle tea gypsy witch stayed up all night worrying dead friends started giving her warnings telling her that the ice queen is no good that she would bring danger to daughter of fire the wandering poet no longer wandered and he too worried daughter of fire used to laugh and now his jokes fell flat around the fire they asked douchebagstilkson next time he came to get her what was going on and he played dumb and shined behind his fake white armor they even asked the ice queen on the rare occasion she saw them as people and she crystallized and iced over at any question so nothing was ever resolved gypsy witch became sad all the time and started talking to the dead they always been around but now visited in droves she drank mead until vomiting in to the fire while the non-wandering poet held her hair and they conversed over the state of daughter of fires increasingly cold heart daughter of fire now wanted to live with ice queen and douchebagstilksen even though gypsy witch hadn't heard it from her mouth but had to read it on a cruel message from the ice queen's royal gmail the gypsy witch felt hopeless daughter of fire was now daughter of ice the gypsy witch didn't bother to leave the caravan anymore or stoke the fire she had to melt daughter of fires heart to bring her home and defeat the ice queen but how she couldn't even get out of bed and if it weren't for the un-wandering poet's feeding her berries she would have wasted away
