Grimm's Snow White Page #2

---

Spending another day

of my life without her.

For love? But you told me...

Indeed, for love, Hugh.

I'm going to marry for

love and for the kingdom.

Our union will join our people

And our lands, it's perfect.

And have you noticed what

a beautiful day it is?

The perfect day for an engagement.

But what about your

engagement to the queen?

She refused me, Hugh, thank the heavens,

For the fates had

another in mind for me.

But, sire, it was not

a complete refusal.

My love has been taken.

She's alive.

There's much darkness ahead.

You dare bring a human in here.

She's injured.

Who is she?

Oh, that's quite deep. Put her down.

Can you heal her before Orlando returns?

No. This will take me some time.

Orlando.

She needs my help, Orlando.

We do not help humans.

Take her out to the

woods far away from here

And leave her.

But the queen's men will find her

And they'll try to kill her again.

The queen's men tried to kill her,

And yet you brought her here?

I ought to slice her

throat and be done with it.

She saved the runt's life.

So this was your doing, half-human.

Orlando.

Here, drink this.

As soon as she's

recovered, she will leave.

I want her gone by sunset.

Isabella, I have a headache.

I need only tug this

amulet from your throat,

And all your magic will be mine.

It's amusing, is it not?

Yes, madam.

But your powers are so meager.

And what good would taking one more

Of these elfin flames do me?

No, it is not the power

in these dribs and drabs

That I want.

It is the source...

The flame from the fallen star.

No matter. It is on the prince's land.

And when I marry the prince,

It will be mine for all eternity.

You can go.

Thee I invoke by the moonlit sea,

The standing stone and the twisted tree.

Mirror, mirror, on the wall,

Who is the fairest of them all?

My queen, you are still fair, 'tis true,

But snow white is fairer still than you.

It cannot be.

He showed me her heart.

Bring me the huntsman.

Wally, you must go.

Here. Take this.

But father...

Please leave now,

Or the queen will kill you as well.

And you must remember

That I did not kill anybody.

The queen asked it of me.

Kill who? Run!

Go!

Aah! Aah!

I took her to the north

hill like you said.

And then a green light blinded me

Just as I was about to finish her.

A green light near the north hill?

Please, please, give me another chance,

And I'll find her and kill her

For you.

You've had your chance,

And you lied to me about it.

Finish up here, and then

give him to the dogs.

I prefer to finish what I started.

Aaaaah! No! No!

Aah! No! No!

Be discreet in your search.

No one must know she's alive.

Make it look as though you were there

To kill the reptilian beasts

As our favor to the prince.

Yes, madam, and how will we find her?

You'll begin by asking the elves.

And you do not need to ask nicely.

Her fever has broken.

The queen's men are all over the forest.

They're looking for a human girl.

Who is she?

This is not the first time

The queen is after an innocent.

Still, we must give her to them.

No, if they want her dead,

They will not look

kindly on us healing her.

They're headed towards

the greengate woods.

We must warn our brothers there.

Wait!

Where do you think you're going?

Out with you?

Or not.

We need you here

To guard the cottage

and look after the girl.

I would not trust anyone to it but you.

And do not let her take one step outside

Or I will cut off your ears.

Aah! Help!

Help! Help! Please!

Tell us where she is.

Where's the girl?

I do not know a girl.

Liars. Elves are all liars.

Where is the girl?

Not at the queen's guard.

It will be an act of war.

There is your act of war.

Hey!

Aah!

Aaaah!

My lord, please. Come inside.

You must eat.

It's my fault she's gone, Hugh.

They were beasts from my forests.

The queen has taken it upon herself

To eliminate those creatures now, sire.

You must get hold of yourself.

You owe it to your subjects

To marry someone who

will provide benefits

For the entire kingdom.

Please, Hugh, it is still too fresh.

I cannot consider such things now.

The widow queen is a perfect match.

I need some air.

She will not wait forever.

Where am I?

I have no time to chat.

If I don't get the mending done,

They call me stupid and lazy,

And they'll never let

me go out with them.

Sorry. Who are you?

Runt. That's what everyone calls me.

Oh, I'd much prefer to

call you by your name.

Really?

Well, my given name is haegthorn.

Oh, a noble and sturdy plant.

I apologize.

I can't seem to remember anything.

Leave me to my work.

I'm stuck here when I should be out

Warning of the queen's guard.

The queen...

Haegthorn?

Haegthorn?

Haegthorn?

Haegthorn?

I must go now.

Where is she?

Have you brought me my step-daughter?

No, madam.

We have been unable

to locate her as yet.

The elves we have found

claim to know nothing.

They are very tricky, your highness.

Unleash the dogs.

The queen's dogs?

Hey!

Hey!

The others should be satisfied.

Miss?

Miss?

Miss? Miss?

Where are you?

You're not supposed to leave.

Miss?

Slowly.

Run.

Hyah!

Aah!

Yaah!

I finished the dishes.

Is that the prince of northfalia?

Notify the queen.

Sire, are you all right?

Come!

No, no. This way.

I must find her.

There. An elves' dwelling.

Open for prince Alexander.

You have wandered far, prince.

Kneel before your prince.

That's enough.

We mean you no harm.

Go.

Perhaps if you tell us

what you seek, my lord.

I'm looking for a girl.

I saw her not too far from here.

She was with a runt-sized elf.

There are no humans here.

Snow.

Snow.

I'm sorry.

The prince is now allied with the queen.

He allows her to roam

freely on his lands.

Soon she will claim what

it is she truly seeks...

The viridian flame.

It will be the end of us all.

Speak, captain.

Have the dogs found my step-daughter?

For I am sure you would

not return here without her.

I'm sorry, madam. We have not.

And the prince ordered us off his lands.

He no longer desires your help

In ridding the forest of the beasts.

Well...

We'll just have to be

a little more discreet.

I do not believe the elves

Are as ignorant in this

matter as they claim.

Kidnap an elf.

Yes, madam.

And, madam, the prince...

He swears he saw snow

white in the forest

With an elf, a runt elf.

He saw her?

I must go to him at once.

Orlando, what you speak is madness.

We cannot win in a

fight against the queen.

Our numbers have dwindled too far.

And yet you would have

them dwindle further.

The dark elves were right all along.

We never should have trusted humans.

We should have remained isolated

As they have.

But Orlando, the queen

Will not be able to acquire the flame

Of the fallen star.

The beasts who guard it

will not allow her near.

The queen will not stop

Until she has the

viridian flame as her own.

And with it, all our powers...

For all eternity.

Orlando, you will need

permission to go to war,
