HistoryEdit

Before the CurseEdit

In the land of the Enchanted Forest, the Gingerbread House is the home to the Blind Witch. The Evil Queen sends Hansel and Gretel on a mission to the house and retrieve a poisoned apple. The house is under a spell that kept adults away from it, however, the spell is not applicable to children. This is because the Blind Witch is a cannibal, and she prefers to eat little boys, and normally uses the little girls as cooks or maid-servants.

The whole house is made of cakes and candies, and contains even more treats inside. Inside the house, on a chair, the Blind Witch rests sleeping. A child who is tempted by the sight of all the goodies and takes a bite of one will accidentally awaken the Blind Witch. Hansel and Gretel cause the Blind Witch to stir from her sleep, but stop her from harming them by locking her in the oven. In her castle, the Evil Queen watches the scene from her magic mirror, and sends a fireball through it to burn the Blind Witch. ("True North")
