So - basically, when I was growing up, the kingdom I lived in was cursed. It was slowly getting taken over by a magic forest that was growing nearby, and it was really bad news. The crops were failing because of it, and a lot of the animals we used for food were leaving, too... So it got to a point where pretty soon, nobody was going to have enough to eat. And I really wanted to fix it by breaking the curse somehow, but for some reason, nobody would tell me anything about the curse itself, no matter how hard I tried. So I knew there was a book in the castle that had a lot of information about it that I hadn't managed to learn yet, and I thought maybe it would help me figure out how to save the kingdom. It was pretty heavily guarded, though, so I had to break in and steal it.
