Prologue
75 Years ago...
"Gaah!" a girl screamed into the night.
"It's okay, it's okay." a boy said.
The girl looked at the boy.
"Are you sure, Nico?" the girl asked.
"Of course I'm sure! Ali, why would you ask that?" Nico said.
He looked at his twin.
"Well, we're four years old." Alice stated.
"So?" Nico asked.
Alice wasn't able to reply. Nico turned around to see a big man carrying his twin away. He ran and ran, but he couldn't catch up.
"Aw!" a deep voice yelled.
Little Alice had kicked the man's eye. Oh, it's not a man...
It's a Cyclops.
The Cyclops dropped her, but her head hit a rock, and she lay unconscious.
"Ali!" Nico yelled.
"Let me take the girl, I swear she won't be harmed." The Cyclops said in the voice of...
Maria Di Angelo.
Nico was stunned.
The Cyclops took this opportunity to pick Alice up and run away. Nico raced after them, but tripped and fell into the Ehtel River.
"Nico?" Bianca yelled from their mansion.
