Prologue

"This girl…"

A man stood on the edge of a balcony with his arms. The night was chilly and quiet, but because he could feel perspiration beading on the back of his neck. He remained there for minutes, looking at the forest in deep thought. There were towns that existed beyond the mountains surrounding the forest's borders, and beyond that, the ocean.

His mouth formed into a smile.

"Twenty years have passed, and the story is playing out again," he mused to himself. He closed his eyes and inhaled, taking in the scent of the pines.

His hands gently let his hand ran through the folder he was holding. Opening it, his dark blue eyes darted to the photo of a woman with a warm smile.

He had received orders from their head two nights before, and they were clear as glass.

To get the girl.

The man sighed. That basically meant that there are a lot of things to do, lot of things to prepare.

Something's big is going to happen, that's for sure.

What a lucky individual, he thought as the photo was grabbed by the wind bringing it to places unknown.
