Apple’s Thronecoming Diary
Knowing what I wanted to wear to Thronecoming was never an issue. The trouble was finding someone in the village of Book End who could custom-make my dress in just the right way. I mean, it was a pretty simple request... a four layer snow fox-inspired dress with an apple red bottom overlayed with a red-glittered chiffon sheer overlayed with a fox-filigree golden brocade overlayed with a sheer metallic print and complimented with a snow fox shrug (but faux fur, of course, not real). It shouldn't have been that hard to make. And yet, every dress-maker and seamstress looked at me like I asked them to not follow their destiny! They were so last chapter.
Just when I thought my luck had run out, I noticed a shop called The Valiant Tailor. I told him what I wanted, and he got right to work! When he was finished, the dress was beyond fairest! When I went back to thank him again, his shop wasn't there. Instead, there was only a single beanstalk that stretched high to the sky. Pretty odd...
