Introduction to Sentence Lengths in Fairy Tales

Her heart pounding, she stepped into the darkness. Suddenly, a glowing creature appeared. It was a fairy, tiny and luminous, smiling kindly. The princess paused. Then she took a deep breath and followed the fairy into the unknown. Her journey was just beginning, and so was her transformation.
