Over a dark wooden table, bathed with the golden light of a single candle, an old book was placed down and carefully opened.

Hands slowly moved through the pages, stopping every once in a while to see the ink illustrations in it, but not for long. They kept moving the pages, as if searching for something in particular.

A quiet, disappointed sigh was heard as the hands had reached the end of the book. After a quiet minute, the hands retreated themselves as they had not found what they needed; the book was left alone on the table.

But suddenly, a black blur passed through, flipping all the pages back to the beginning of the book.

The page it showed read the following...


'The day is XX, the month is XX. The moon is bright and the wind blows softly.

Hello, there. I see you've found my book... would you like to know what's behind these pages? Go ahead, you can trust this old journal, for everything that's written in these pages are things that I have experienced, that I have seen, and it's only purpose is to be found and let the story in it be known.

Who am I? I'm sorry, but all I can tell you is that I'm someone who goes by the name of the moon. Refer to me as 'The Author', if you may.

I'll go back into topic... have you ever heard about our land? The land of Halloween itself?

A place no one knew existed, because of how hard it is to get here. A place in where pranks never grow old. A place in where the Jack-O-Lanters shine brighter than the stars in the dark sky above us. A place in where the night is never over, where mystery and excitement are united by a string, and of course, the land in where Trick-or-Treaters live and enjoy themselves.

A place called, in honor to their people, Trickery Treat.

A place that is filled with fun and mischief... but hidden under every smile and laughter, a trace of fear and worry is present.

Why fear? Isn't this place all about candy, wearing costumes, and playing pranks on others? It should be that way, but unfortunate events are driving us away from that dream, further and further, as I write.

The story in this book starts from the very beginning, far from when the fear in the islander's hearts became evident. The beginning of this tale is centered on a young, pained avatar, who left in a quest to find himself.

And I can assure you, that he undoubtedly holds the key to our freedom.

My very first friend.'

A/N: Welcome to the story that started my two-part series of Gloyd's Past! Currently speaking, I'm going through all these chapters and 'fixing' them.

The 'Prologue' is the starting point of it all, and whoever this 'Author' is, I can assure you that we'll be hearing a lot from him and his journal through the process of our story. Let the renewed tale be tell, and leave a review to let me know what do you think of the new updates!
