Ok, guys, so here's another summary. Feel free to edit typing errors and grammatical errors. I also want to ask one more time to just post 1 sentence a day. I like the story so far, but I think it would be better if everyone just posted 1 sentence. I also added another sentence at the end.

''' Once upon a time, there were a king and queen. Everyone in the kingdom knew that they had a dark secret, but most had no idea what it was. Every night a blindfolded maid was sent to the dungeons carrying a plate with a magical herb so rare that the few merchants that sold it were unbelievably rich. One night, she dropped some of the herb on her way to her bedroom. But as she was blindfolded, the maid didn't notice and went on. The fallen leaf remained on the ground until an embittered guard came to do patrol and, intrigued by the leaf's glow, put it on his pocket. The guard, who was very poor, went home immediately to show his wife and two girls. But his wife didn't like the gift and because she always hoped he would get promoted, she tried to burn the leaf in the fireplace. However when the guard's wife threw the herb into the fire, it didn't burn away. Instead, the flames enhanced its radiance and a beam of light shone so bright, the entire home was illuminated. The guard rushed to the fire and inside the flames was a little girl. Her soft and kind voice said "Save me from the dungeon, and I will grant a wish." and immediately the fire went out. The Guard was startled. Then,  the remains of the herb transformed into a key. He picked up the key and, suddenly, a voice spoke from the shadows. The voice was low and hoarse, and said, "Do not listen to the girl, in the fire. She will deceive you, and cause nothing but misery." The wife urged her husband to make an extravagant wish, like the little girl instructed, as she always wanted after the things they never had. The guard would not be persuaded, choosing to follow the voice of caution. That night the wife woke up, and grabbed the key that was still lying in the fireplace. She put on a cloak and headed outdoors, to save the girl, after her husband refused to do so. She had to save the girl. When she arrived at the castle the King and Queen said there was no girl in a dungeon, but you could tell that they were keeping a secret. And as the guard's wife was on her way to the entrance of the Palace, reluctantly leaving, the key in her hand warmed up suddenly when she passed by a wooden door. She followed her instincts and opened the wooden door which led to a long corridor. As the guard's wife walked down the dark corridor, the key grew warmer in her hand. The Guard's wife, named Brianna, continued to walk down the corridor until she saw the girl from the fire. The key was at its warmest. "Do not free the girl." a feminine voice said right before Brianna could open the door. It was the blindfolded maid. "Her eyes have magical powers, and will mislead you." But Brianna, who was already thinking about all the gold she wanted to wish for, said: "And how would you know that, since you clearly haven't seen her yourself?" '''

''' "I prefer not to see her, why do you think I am blindfolded?" said the maid, "Because once you look right into her eyes, you see the thing you most desire. But I must warn you, it will come with a price that no one should be willing to pay." "What is the price?" said Brianna. The maid said, "Once you look into her eyes and see what you most desire, you will not stop until you get it." "What I desire," Brianna hesitated briefly, "is a black forest cake, all to myself." "I have warned you, but it seems that no sense can be talked into you." the blindfolded lady said. She turned around and slowly left the dungeon, leaving Brianna to her fate. Brianna hesitated. She was so desperate to get what she wanted but she was afraid that the price could be too much for her to handle. "This is your only chance to leave this miserable life behind" she thought. "I'm willing to do whatever it takes" When the wife looked into the girl's eyes she saw not a black forest cake, but an incredibly handsome man with the kindest eyes, the warmest smile, and clothing made from the finest fabrics. The wife did not realize until now this man was truly her greatest desire. A man without a single flaw; a charming, handsome, wealthy man, a truly perfect man she desired over her husband. The young, imprisoned girl began to laugh.... a cold, cruel laugh. "Are you willing to leave your husband?", she said, mockingly. “Your heart says differently. You know what you really want.” "No!" screamed Brianna and she turned to leave the room. Back at the cottage, the Guard awoke to find Brianna was not there. He groaned, "Here we go again..." Meanwhile, on the other side of the Kingdom, named Märchen, was an evil witch named Elizabeth. Elizabeth was cursed by another witch which made Elizabeth hideous. The other day Brianna told her friends about the girl that would grant your deepest desire. That gossip reached Elizabeth who wanted to pay a visit to our dear Brianna. "I must stop this insanity before it gets too late" Elizabeth thought. Brianna was afraid of Elizabeth. She was scared but she said that Elizabeth could stop by any time she wants. Later that day, the fairy of flowers appeared. The fairy of flowers appeared and told Brianna that the little girl was a fairy corrupted by darkness who wanted to seek the magical rose which only blooms once a century. The fairy of flowers, however, was lying. Elizabeth threated to kill her and all of her other fairies if she didn't tell her about the girl looking for the magical rose. Elizabeth was going to use this as a trap! After looking for the magical rose, Elizabeth went to the castle to find the little girl. After giving the little girl the rose the little transformed into a beautiful version of Elizabeth! Elizabeth told the little girl that if Brianna comes down again tell her to find the rose and she will give away Brianna's desire. The next day Brianna came down again. The Fairy of Flowers' warning, rang in her ears. Brianna hesitated, as she entered the cell. Brianna entered the cell the little girl told her to find the rose. Brianna looked   through out the whole kingdom for the rose. Back in the cell, the little girl kept the rose locked up in a cupboard. As Brianna was searching, she heard a loud, low bell ring. It signaled an oncoming attack from another kingdom. Brianna goes back to the cell. The little girl says the kingdom is searching for the rose. Just then, Elizabeth goes in and kills the little girl by stabbing her. Elizabeth had knocked over the cupboard which revealed the rose. Brianna quickly grabbed it and headed out, only to encounter her husband and the blindfolded maid. He says to her, "Are we doing this the easy way, or the hard way?" Before Brianna could answer her husband, the King and Queen came in. '''
