Märchen is the seventh story CD, released by the fantasy symphonic rock band Sound Horizon on December 15, 2010, through King Records.

Although Therese attempts to fight them off, she is captured whilst März is tossed into the well outside their home, and she curses the world in her final breath before her execution.

An unspecified amount of time later, with his once white hair stained black - "the color of dusk" - and having no memory of who he was, the reborn März, now "Märchen von Friedhof", emerges from the well after being awakened by a living doll named Elise.

The nun then asks her mother if she recognizes her, but the old woman, having gone mad due to hunger and fear of persecution, lashes out and crucifies her daughter's body on an inverted cross.

Seeing Hansel gaining weight, Gretel deludes herself into thinking their hostess is a wicked witch who waylays children to cook and eat them.

The story comes to a close with Märchen asking Elise if any old woman in a forest can be declared a witch, to which the doll expresses her disdain for cruel and dishonest children.

Like the other children in her village who were sold away, she came to work for the aged and enigmatic landlady of the Black Fox Inn known for its famous liver dish.

Snow White's father, the king, eventually took for his new wife a cold-hearted and vain woman who possesses a magical mirror that attests she is the most beautiful in the land.

But when the coffin is dropped due to careless handling, Snow White immediately wakes up as the piece of poisoned apple is dislodged from her throat.

As she and Charming set up their wedding, Snow White decrees that her stepmother be punished by dancing until she drops dead in a pair of red-hot iron shoes.

But the lazy daughter refuses to help in the chores her stepsister did and justly is punished by being forever covered with pitch, the dirt never coming off no matter how hard she may try to remove it, her and her mothers cries being accompanied by the chittering of plague rats.

The story ends with Märchen describing it as the cutest revenge he's orchestrated thus far, Elise amusingly calls it a fate worse than death.

Despite the king's attempt to thwart the spiteful fairy's curse, it comes to fruition years later when the naturally curious princess is drawn to a room where an old woman is working with her spinning wheel.

A tale of lust that begins with a girl who had fallen in love with and married a Marquis by the name of Bluebeard, however, it was clear her affections were not returned in kind.

Though she promised her husband she wouldn't, the girl enters the supposed "treasure room" only to find the murdered corpses of the Marquis's previous wives.

Solicitous explains she was once a noblewoman named Elizabeth whose devotion to the boy she once loved was strong to the point of vowing before God that she would never marry another.

Elizabeth's soul passes away peacefully, having fulfilled her wish to meet him once more and finding satisfaction in having lived and died herself and staying true to her love.

The story ends with Märchen shaken into silence, as Elise screams and begs that he ignore Elizabeth's words and continue their quest for vengeance for all eternity.

Many years later, a group of children would come to the ruined remains of the hut and find the only proof that Marchen lived: A book titled Fairy Tales of Light and Darkness.
