The Fairy Tale To Live Forever

(created by Open AI and modified by ST)

Once upon a time, in a far-off kingdom, there lived a woman named Aurora. Aurora was known throughout the land for her beauty and kind heart. However, she had a secret. She had been given a spell by a fairy, granting her eternal life.

Aurora had lived for centuries, watching as her friends, and loved ones aged and passed away. She had witnessed the rise and fall of kingdoms, and the birth and death of generations. She had grown tired of the endless cycle of life and death and longed for the release of death.

One day, a prince named Alexander came to the kingdom. He was handsome and brave, and Aurora found herself falling in love with him. They spent many happy days together, but Aurora knew that their time together was limited, for Alexander would age and die, while she would remain forever alive.

Aurora confided in Alexander about her spell, and he was shocked and saddened. He did not want to live without her, and so he set out on a quest to find a way to break the spell and allow Aurora to live a normal life.

After many months of searching, Alexander finally found a fairy who was willing to help him. The fairy told him that the spell could only be broken if Aurora was willing to give up her eternal life for a normal life.

Aurora, seeing how much Alexander loved her, made the sacrifice, and gave up her eternal life. The spell was broken, and Aurora was finally able to die. She and Alexander lived happily together, aging and supporting one another until death.

The end.
