The Final Entry
1920x1200 Wallpaper

This side features Sesshoumaru in The Canary Prince, a less well-known fairytale. Prince Sesshoumaru (traditionally a princess) is locked up in a tall tower and Princess Kagome (traditionally a prince) passing by in the forest looks up and sees him. They fall in love but are too far apart to speak to one another. A friendly witch observing the thwarted lovers gives the prince a magical book; when he flips the pages forward Kagome turns into a little bird (traditionally a canary, but in this case a little Kagome-coloured wren) and flies up to his tower; when he flips the pages backward she returns to her human form. So the lovers meet secretly in the tower and eventually (after a few more plot twists) he escapes the tower and they live happily ever after. There are several variations of the tale but Wikipedia has a general summary if you’re interested.
