The Wishing Spell

by Chris Colfer
Mira is the young villager and poet who falls in love with Evly. The Enchantress imprisoned him in the Magic Mirror when Evly refused to help the Enchantress with her evil schemes. As the Evil Queen, Evly performs the Wishing Spell and retrieves Mira from the mirror, but by then he has lost his memories, and he dies soon afterward.

Prologue Quotes

I’m not leaving here until you tell me!” Snow White yelled, raising her voice for the first time in her life.

“Fine,” the Evil Queen said.

Snow White took a seat on another stool in the cell. The Evil Queen waited a moment before beginning, and Snow White’s anticipation grew.

“Your story will be forever romanticized,” she told Snow White. “No one will ever think twice about mine. I will continue to be degraded into nothing but a grotesque villain until the end of time. But what the world fails to realize is that a villain is just a victim whose story hasn’t been told. Everything I have done, my life’s work and my crimes against you, has all been for him.”

Chapter 20 Quotes

“Seeing the man I loved every day through a layer of glass, unable to touch him, or kiss him, or hold him was unbearable. I was more than heartbroken. The pain was so deep I could barely breathe. I was sure my heart would eventually stop beating if I didn’t do something for it.

“I found an old witch named Hagatha deep in the Dwarf Forests and begged her to help me. She, like everyone else before her, could do nothing about the mirror, but she treated my heartbreak. She cut my heart out of my chest and turned it into stone,” the Evil Queen said.
