Beauty and the Beast (Canon Tale)

Beauty and the Beast is a much beloved French fairy tale written by French novelist Jeanne-Marie Leprince de Beaumont and published in 1756. This popular tale was told throughout Europe in a plethora of variations, and has been adapted into a television series, movies, and a Disney animated feature.
For Once Upon a Nightmare, to maximize interaction between tales and make this adaption of Beauty and the Beast unique, it was decided to utilize the selfish and spoiled Mordred of Arthurian mythology as the Beast of this tale. The rest of this tale was heavily influenced by the Disney adaption in the composition of its canon concepts.
== Canon Tale ==
Mordred, the illegitimate son of the High King
 of Ga'leah was brought up by his mother, Morgana, to be consumed by his
 own desires. Selfish, treacherous, unkind, he ran afoul of one of the 
Pantheon just before the beginnings of the plagues that now run rampant 
throughout the kingdoms. Transformed into a beastly creature whose 
outward appearance directly reflects the monstrosity of his soul, he has
 been banished by his mother to the wastelands of Dokrayth where the 
shame of his current condition will not be discovered by anyone in 
Caerleon. But Mordred is her son, and so Morgana provided him with an 
abandoned castle and a cursed staff who are beholden to her in one way 
or another.
Belle is an innocent young woman who lived in the one remaining 
settlement in Dokrayth, the town of Aeswick. The small community 
managed to survive the Walking Starvation by working together and 
protecting the town to the best of their ability. What food they 
managed to find was scavenged in the Yarrow located very near the 
village. Belle had been tasked with foraging for food and herbs in the 
surrounding countryside. Her explorations brought her closer and closer
 to the abandoned castle Mordred commandeered and shored up against 
attack
