Prologue

Splashfire99: This story has nothing to do with Kaos or skylands, pls note…

It was a rainy night. Lightning flashed across the skies, as rain poured heavily down. At that moment, an old woman, wearing a brown cloak knocked on the door of a huge house. This house belonged to an elf. He was pretty famous, which explained why he could afford a big house. He was in there right now, with his friends. And it was much to his annoyance that the old woman knocked on his door. "Excuse me, young elf." She said politely to him. "Do you mind giving me a bit of shelter?" The old woman looked pretty drenched, and pretty lonely. But did he oblige?

Well….NO.

Instead, the elf slammed the door right in her face. He was just about to return to his room, where his friends were when the knock came again. He groaned and quickly stomped back to the door, yanking it open. "What the heck is i-"He stopped midway. The old woman had suddenly whipped out some kind of stick and raised it above her head. A shower of sparks exploded onto her, and when they had cleared, she revealed herself to be an enchantress!

The elf turned pale. Uh oh. "Y-you're-"The woman pointed her wand at him before he could say anything else. To his horror, black fur began to sprout all over his body, including his face. "What did you do to me?!" He yelled, even more horrified to find that his voice had grown more deep and gruff. "Punishment for your selfishness." The enchantress replied stiffly. And also, with another wave of that wand, the elf's friends were all transformed into enchanted objects. A scream came from the room, definitely belonging to Flashwing.

A blue lily appeared in the elf-now-turned-beast's hand. "Once the last petal falls, you will remain in this from forever." The enchantress said. "Unless you can break it by finding love." "Wait…WHAT?" The beast yelled. "But I'm a-" But the enchantress just waved her wand, and she vanished in an explosion of light.

The beast groaned angrily. What had he done? How could he break this spell now? He stared at the flower in his paw. Love…
