Prologue
The sound of waves rang in my ears. I watched as they crashed onto the shore and drew themselves out again. The sand under my feet felt warm, just as the suns' rays did. I looked up to the sky, a perfect blue. I closed my eyes as the sun warmed my face, and a tear trickled down my cheek, and I quickly wiped it away. It had been so long… so long since I had cried. And right now, that's all I wanted to do.
I raised my right arm to my chest. And fingered the dangling charms on my bracelet, which shone brightly in the sun, It brought back a lot of memories. Another tear ran down my warm cheek, but I didn't bother to wipe it away. I looked into the endless blue sea.
"How… how did this happen to me?"
And then I thought back, back to when it all began.
