A very long time ago, in a magical kingdom where all the good dreams of mankind are tended to, there was a young princess named Estelle. Although she loved her home and all the people of her land, she greatly desired a playmate her own age. One day, she summoned a young boy named Winsor to her realm. In time they became friends and shared the early days of their childhoods together.
--
Sadly, time marched on, and with each passing year it became increasingly difficult for Winsor to find his way back to his treasured childhood friend. Gradually his memories began to fade. It was no longer certain whether the adventures they shared were real or merely fantasies he had dreamed up.
--
Everything changed when the stillness of one night's slumber was broken by the desperate pleas of a familiar voice. Winsor shot up in bed and was astonished to hear summons of Estelle once again. But this time, all was not well!
--
Some time during Winsor's absence, a fiendish and ambitious sorceress named Corvina had appeared in Titania. Upon claiming the title of Nightmare Queen, she subjugated Estelle's people and cast the realm into darkness!
--
Drawn back to Titania with what seemed to be the last of Estelle's magical strength, Winsor braved the now terrifying nightmare landscape and charged toward the stronghold of the Nightmare Queen!
--
Under the dim light of the moon, he rose up the side of Corvina's tower, scaling the wall by way of thorny vines. Finally, he slipped inside through an open window.
--
Across the room Winsor could see his much-loved Estelle, tortured at the hands of the Nightmare Queen. The agonizing sight was too much to bear!
--
Corvina was too ghastly for our hero to bear!
