Prologue

Once upon a time.

All fairy tales start with once upon a time and end with happily ever after.

This is no fairytale. This is a story about a boy who lost everything he loved and became a slave in his own home and the battles he fought to get a sliver of happiness in an otherwise depressing life. There was no fairy godmother, no dwarves or woodsmen and certainly no magic. Just a boy, his friends and the determination to be with the man he loved above all others.

Be warned folks, this might have the happily ever after of normal fairytales, but Charles will have to very work hard to get there and we'll be with him every step of the way to watch every step and stumble he takes. It's a story of courage, pain, loss, but most of all, it's a story of love.

This is the story of Charles Xavier and Prince Erik Lensherr of Genosha.


A/N This is what happens when I'm bored in computer class. I get depressed and think up depressing fics. R&R folks
