- Fairytale time: three sisters, three children.
- The children were Mirren, Johnny, and Gat, though Cadence doesn't call them by name; there was also a witch.
- The witch was the same age as the children, but she wasn't blessed by the fairies like they were—instead she had angered the fairies.
- All she had was magic, and she used it to destroy the others by cursing them.
- When they were sixteen, she said, they would strike a match and die in its flame.
- Their parents tried to protect them, but when the time came, the witch found them and gave them the matches.
- Sure enough, they lit them, and sure enough, they died.
