"Prologue"

In a forest near a small village in Italy, a young teenage her with long blonde hair wearing a green dress, and black shoes was carving something into the trunk of a tree.

"Long, Long, ago, in a faraway land, a girl took secretly to the forest. Her name was Cristina, she was a very shy and quiet girl who was known and loved by all. Oh! and did I mention, she was in love?" a voice narrated.

"I carve this heart for my darling Lorenzo..." she said to herself. "While in this peaceful meadow. With dreams and hope, my love endures. Forever yours, Cristina."

In the trunk of this tree she carved a heart and wrote the initials "L&C" inside it. She looked around to see if anyone was watching, and hugged the tree and gave it a kiss for good luck. She looked up and saw the sky was becoming dark and cloudy. After she left the forest it started to rain. Thunder roared and lightning flashed in the sky.

"Soon or later though, when the heart is full, and the heavens are listening, magic is bound to happen."

Suddenly a bolt of lightning struck the tree where the heart had been carved. The heart began to glow than after a few seconds the glow faded away.

"What Cristina didn't know was this tree would become something very special, something that would one day change her life forever."
