Once upon a time, there was a kingdom called the Kinomoto kingdom. The kingdom was filled with magical energy and almost everyone there could use magic with ease.

However, no one in the Sakura kingdom except for the king and queen knew that they were isolated from other kingdoms. Eager to know more?

Well, let's just say that it had to do with the aura surrounding their kingdom and a forbidden topic that later gets Sakura mixed up in it. Juicy details will be made known later in the chapters. For now, let's just get on with the story.

The kingdom cheered for the king and queen. They finally had a daughter, for only a female descendant can have all of the kingdom's magical power at her command.

Said girl would be Sakura Kinomoto, the princess of their kingdom. Three fairies were present, with each one giving the princess a unique gift.

One gave her the gift of beauty, another, the gift of voice. Just as the third fairy was about to bestow her gift to the tiny princess, an evil fairy appeared.

Everyone quivered in fear as the aura of pure evil surrounded the entire country, tainting its own. It meant that the fairy was very powerful.

"For not inviting me, your daughter shall pay. Yes, she will grow up loved by her citizens and loved by animals. However, on her 16th birthday, she will prick her finger on a spindle and die!" The evil fairy roared with laughter and disappeared with a puff of smoke.

The king and queen were horrified at the turn of events. They did not know what to do except worry about the situation.

16 years later, Sakura grew up to be very pretty and well-loved by the citizens and animals. She never had to worry about anything.

Now, as you all know, the king had burned all the spindles away and forbade anyone to talk about it. Everyone obeyed and the princess was kept in the dark about this.

On her 16th birthday, Sakura was told not to step out of her room till the clock strikes twelve, marking the start of another day. Sakura was puzzled. Why did her father do this?

All of a sudden, a portal appeared in front of her while she was sitting at the side of her bed. Hurry, it seemed to call out to her, or the evil witch will catch you！

Curious, she did as she was told. She stepped into the portal and asked,"what do you mean by the evil witch catching me?"

Don't ask questions now, it replied, you will know in the future to come. Now, please escape!

A soft light surrounded her as she closed her eyes, allowing herself to be carried by the comforting light. Little did she know that it was the start of everything that was going to happen in the future…

The binding white light told Sakura while she was still asleep.

"Remember, you are Sakura Irisawa, daughter of a baker and a fashion designer. You live in a small but comfortable house near the heart of the city. You know magic and that is your secret…"

Sakura woke up with a start. She looked around in her small room, sensing some magical power.

"Sakura! Please get ready! We are about to start dinner!" Mrs Isawa hollered.

"Yes, mother," Sakura replied, smiling.
