The Rock Collector
has found a very special rock that she plans to give to the King
as a gift. Then it is stolen by the crafty Merchant Fabius. This
will become important later.
The beloved
King passes away and Morgana becomes Queen of Paradise Island. She
soon discovers that she does not have the respect of the island's
inhabitants. No one will bow down to her. She has no power. The
ghost of her father the King advises her to seek out the Merchant
Fabius.
Fabius sells
the Queen the stolen rock, which has magical power. It gives the
queen the ability to make anyone fear her and therefore obey her
every command.
The Queen is
delighted by how well her new power works as she scares the island's
inhabitants into bowing and obeying her commands.
Although the
Queen has great power, she soon discovers that no one likes her,
not her friends, not even her Mirror. Abigale sings the troubled
Queen to sleep. Something the Queen heard earlier triggers a strange
dream about two people in love. Their attempts to get together are
thwarted by the Potato Man. Owners of a Potato Restaurant want to
catch and cook the Potato Man. They are about to do just that when
the Queen wakes up screaming. Her father's ghost appears and the
Queen tells him about her dream. She wanted the two people in love
to get together. She didn't like how afraid she felt for the Potato
Man. The King explains that his daughter values love over fear.
