Go to Sleep, Russell the Sheep

Russell can't sleep. While the other sheep are dozing off, he ponders the problem of insomnia. Is he too hot or too cold? Perhaps a better place would help. When nothing works, he tries counting things. He starts with his feet, and then moves on to the stars ("six hundred million billion and ten")–twice.
Finally, the quintessential cliché comes to him, and he counts sheep. Russell nods off just as the new day dawns and the others awaken.

Dream Clouds

And then the dream clouds came
the day has ended with a soft evening sky,

And with you in minds reflection 
with tear's in my eye -
then the dream clouds came
 and whisked me away 

to set sail in the winds to a heavenly day
as I go into the great slumber 
and awake in the land of light

I must say goodbye - in that goodnight...

On her sixteenth birthday, Aurore learns that the impending curse will harm not only her, but the entire kingdom as well. Unwilling to cause suffering, she will embark on a quest to end the evil magic.
