[Amnesty: Challenge #166: Entice] Original Fiction: 'Tiny Dancer'

Title: 'Tiny Dancer'
Fandom: Original Fiction
Rating: PG
Notes: Slightly disturbing concepts. Inspired partly by Elton John's 'Tiny Dancer', and The Left Banke's 'Pretty Ballerina'.

Once upon a time, a wizard met a ballerina. He was taken with her grace and beauty, and resolved to make her his.

So he enticed her away from her company, and to his secret lair. There, he cast a spell on her. She grew tiny, so tiny that she could fit in the palm of his hand.

Ever since, he's kept her imprisoned in a magic music box. And, now and then, when he feels the longing, he opens up the box. And she dances just for him.

Her sorrow is nothing, compared to the joy the wizard feels.
