Once upon a time in a faraway land, there was a kingdom named Elenia. Elenia was ruled by a kind king named Henry, who had a beautiful daughter named Isabella. Isabella was loved by all in the kingdom, but she had a secret that nobody knew about.

Isabella was cursed by an evil witch when she was a child. The curse was that anyone who looked into her eyes would fall into a deep sleep and only be awakened by true love's kiss. Isabella was devastated when she found out about the curse, but her father, King Henry, was determined to find a way to break it.

Years went by, and the curse remained unbroken. Many suitors came to the kingdom, hoping to win Isabella's heart, but none were successful. One day, a young man named John arrived at the kingdom. John was unlike any of the other suitors. He was kind, gentle, and had a heart full of love.

John was not interested in Isabella's wealth or beauty; he was simply drawn to her kind and gentle nature. Isabella was hesitant at first, afraid that John would fall victim to the curse like all the others. But as they spent more time together, Isabella's fears began to fade away.

One day, Isabella and John went on a walk in the kingdom's beautiful garden. As they strolled through the garden, they came across a beautiful rose bush. Isabella picked a rose and handed it to John, who smelled it and smiled.

Suddenly, Isabella stumbled and fell to the ground. John rushed to her side, but she was already asleep. John remembered the curse and knew what he had to do. He leaned in and kissed Isabella on the lips, hoping that true love's kiss would awaken her.

Nothing happened. John was devastated. He had fallen in love with Isabella and couldn't bear the thought of losing her. He stayed by her side, holding her hand, hoping that she would wake up soon.

Days went by, and Isabella remained asleep. The kingdom was in turmoil, and King Henry was beside himself with grief. John refused to leave Isabella's side, determined to find a way to break the curse.

One day, an old woman arrived at the kingdom. She said she had the power to break the curse, but it would come at a great cost. John was willing to do anything to break the curse, so he agreed to the woman's terms.

The old woman told John that he would have to travel to the edge of the kingdom and bring back a feather from a rare bird. The bird was said to be guarded by a fearsome dragon, and the journey was perilous. John knew the risks but was determined to break the curse.

John set out on his journey, armed with only a sword and his determination. He traveled through forests and mountains, facing danger at every turn. He battled fierce beasts and fought off bandits, but he never gave up.

Finally, after many weeks of traveling, John reached the edge of the kingdom. There, he saw the fearsome dragon guarding the rare bird. John approached the dragon, sword in hand. The dragon breathed fire at John, but he dodged it and charged at the dragon, plunging his sword into its heart.

John retrieved the feather from the rare bird and hurried back to the kingdom. When he arrived, he gave the feather to the old woman, who used it to break the curse. Isabella woke up, and she and John embraced.

From that day on, Isabella and John were inseparable. They married and ruled the kingdom together with love and compassion. The kingdom prospered, and Isabella and John lived happily ever after.

And so, the curse was broken,
