Day 9

My story does not have any fairy tale creatures. It does if you consider the dwarf a fairy tale creature, and I do but I could not find a dwarfs as a Brazilian creature. In the story the dwarf put a curse on the bear. The bear is actually a very handsome man, and if the dwarf dies than the curse is lifted. The dwarf is actually protecting a treasure, but I do not understand who he is hiding it from. I researched Brazilian Mythology and I looked at all the mythical creatures. There was not a dwarf or anything like a dwarf but I found one mythical creature called "Cobra Encantada" (Enchanted Snake), and its a beautiful woman shapeshifts into a hideous snake to guard an immense treasure. The dwarf does the same thing.

I need to find something different then the Cobra Encantada because she guards the treasure and once someone breaks the spell of her shapeshifting into a hideous snake, they get to keep the treasure and the beautiful maiden. The dwarf wasn't a beautiful maiden in the story. I have the idea of changing the Cobra Encantada into a beautiful woman and she wanted to be with Prince Davi, but he didn't want to be with her. So she turned him into a bear to punish him but the only way to break the Cobra Encantada's curse was to kill her. But that wouldn't be using the actually Brazilian Mythology.
