There were three princes, the Prince of the Stars, the Moon Prince, and the Sun Prince
Their father promised their mother a boon when the third son was born
When the Sun Prince was 21, their mother asked their father, the king, to make the Sun Prince his heir
He refused, knowing that it was the Prince of the Stars birthright
The king states that the only way the Sun Prince would be king is if his older brothers die
The queen is disappointed, and the king fears for his oldest sons
The king tells his older sons to leave the kingdom until his death
The brothers leave, and their youngest brother wants to come with them
Once in the woods, the Sun Prince goes down to a pond to get water
Little did they know, the pond was controlled by a water-sprite
This water sprite was ordered by the King of the Fairies to ask all that approached his pond one question: What are Good Fairies like?
The Sun Prince and the Moon Prince both answer incorrectly, and are taken by the water-sprite
The Prince of the Stars goes to find his brothers, and answers the sprite's question correctly
The water-sprite offers to return one brother, so the Prince of Stars asked for his youngest brother back, explaining why they were in the situation they were in
The water-sprite admired the eldest brother's wisdom and returned both brothers
After their exile, the brothers returned home, ruled together, and built a home for the water-sprite
Story Idea: what it was like for Sun and Moon when they were waiting to be released (fairy prison)
