After some time, she is found by a prince and is awakened. Instead of dying, as was foretold, the princess falls into a deep sleep.

Plot An older image of the sleeping princess: Brünnhilde, surrounded by magical fire rather than roses (illustration by Arthur Rackham to Richard Wagner's Die Walküre) Following these early renditions, the tale was first published by Italian poet Giambattista Basile who lived from 1575 to 1632. Even earlier influences come from the story of the sleeping Brynhild in the Volsunga saga and the tribulations of saintly female martyrs in early Christian hagiography conventions.

Her father sends him to perform tasks to prove himself worthy of her, and while he is gone, Zellandine falls into an enchanted sleep.
