description: No pumpkins no clocks no fairy godmothers and why Cinderella really went to the ball. Legend claims she sought a husband but in reality she sought a murderer.Many men and women claim that happily ever afters are bestowed to those who so richly deserve them; others say such an ending can only be granted to those with title and royal blood and the majority of tales seem to favor the latter opinion.But what of those who may deserve happiness? Those who by their kind actions and generous hearts have given themselves a reputation that others may hold up in high honor a reputation of such worth that they may justly ask of some reward? Alas! Many times they and their goodness go unnoticed and those people live out their lives doing the same as they have always done.For it is those that continue to help and encourage others without a thought of recompense that truly deserve a happily ever after. But the proud opinion of history seems steadfast to keep them from their rightful claim.Once there was a girl who had no title or social standing nor was she fortunate to have been born in the royal family. Shy but kind she met with tragedy and poverty alike and did not hesitate to lend a helping hand. How could they expect to allow such a girl to have a happily ever after?Her name was Celesta and this is her story.
