TALE AS OLD AS TIME, A LONG TIME AGO IN A LAND FAR, FAR AWAY. DO THOSE WORDS BRING
YOU BACK? BACK TO A TIME FAR MORE INNOCENT THAN NOW, WHEN THE ONLY EVIL IN THE
WORLD WERE THE BRANCHES SCRATCHING YOUR WINDOW AT NIGHT? BACK TO WHEN YOUR
PARENTS READ YOU STORIES OF FAIRIES, GYPSIES, AND EVIL STEPMOTHERS TO TEACH YOU THE
LIFELONG MORALS THEY'D HOPE YOU KEPT? WOW. YOU KNOW, IT WOULD BE JUST SPLENDID IF
THOSE STORIES CAME TO LIFE, AND THE WORLD WAS FILLED WITH TRUTHS SUCH AS LOVE
ALWAYS CONQUERING EVIL.
SURPRISE.
LONG BEFORE YOU WERE THOUGHT OF, THESE CHARACTERS STEPPED FROM THE PAGES OF
THEIR BOOKS INTO THE MORTAL WORLD. FIRST IN THEIR ORIGINAL FORM, AS PEASANTS
AND PRINCESSES AND KNIGHTS IN SHINING ARMOR, BUT SOON ASSIMILATING TO THE NEW WORLD
AROUND THEM. THE LINES BLURRED, AND THEY SOON BEGAN BUILDING FAMILIES AND HEIRS
TO THEIR NAME. HOWEVER, THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THIS PROCESS: THE
MEMORIES OF THE PAST FORMS REMAINED. LOVERS, FRIENDS, MORTAL ENEMIES, THE MEMORIES
OF GENERATIONS PAST AND THE STORIES THEY CAME FROM ALL INGRAINED INTO THE MINDS OF
CHILDREN. WITH THEM, THE STORY WOULD GO ON AND ON IN A NEVER-ENDING CYCLE. AS THEY
GREW OLDER, THEY GAINED ABILITIES AND REMEMBERED IN SMALL DRIPS WHAT THE STORY
BEHIND THEM SAID. NO MATTER HOW THEY TRY TO CHANGE THEIR CIRCUMSTANCES, THE TALE
WILL ALWAYS CATCH UP. LIFE CAN BE JUST AS PAINFUL FOR THEM, IF NOT MORE SO, IF THEY DO
NOT CHOOSE WISELY.
NOT EVERYONE HAS A HAPPY ENDING.
