A/N: Yay! A new HP story by Raven and Chelsea!! What fun! Okay, anyway, this one is a LOT better than The Lords of the Elements, and when you read this prologue, you might think that it has nothing whatsoever to do with Harry Potter. Well, it does, savvy? All righty then. Now, here's the prologue of the 13 Necklaces, by Raven and Chelsea

Prologue

Most fairytales start with 'once upon a time,' but this is no ordinary fairy tale, so 'once upon a time' doesn't seem very fitting.

This fairytale began with a man named Vadin. Vadin lived in an ancient kingdom so old that nobody remembers its true name, so they just call it the Land of the Gems. Vadin was born into a family that was very rich and his family's status was just below royalty. They were also the most frequent guests to the palace.

Vadin might have been rich, but the thing he most enjoyed was making things with his hands, whether they be swords or jewelry; he was also a perfectionist, so if anything was less than perfect, he destroyed it.

One day on a visit to the palace, Vadin saw the king's daughter, Wyanet, and fell instantly in love with her. To win her heart, Vadin made twelve necklaces for her, each with its own special power.

Princess Wyanet was pleased with the necklaces, but as she used the necklaces, the evil stirred within her, and she demanded a thirteenth necklace of Vadin. A necklace with the power to control the Underworld.

Vadin, knowing what the Princess could do to him if he refused to make the necklace, reluctantly agreed.

When the necklace was finished, Wyanet took it into her bedchamber. With all the other necklaces at her feet and only a flickering candle for light, Wyanet began the incantation that would change the Land of the Gems forever.

The next morning, Vadin was found dead in his bedroom. And every necklace except the thirteenth, was gone from Wyanet's chamber.

Nobody knew that it was Wyanet who killed Vadin, not even her father. Nobody knew why either. It was common knowledge that Vadin had loved Wyanet, so why would she kill him? He was, after all, a very handsome man. Wyanet was the only one who knew, and she delighted in not telling.

Soon after Vadin's death, Wyanet tried to use the thirteenth necklace again, but, to her horror, it didn't work. She soon figured out that Vadin had cast an irreversible spell on the last of his creations so that it would be powerless if she didn't have the other twelve treasures in her possession. In a fit of rage, Wyanet threw the necklace out her window, and it landed in a little cottage owned by a small family by the name of Potter.

The Potters kept the necklace as though it were a sacred object, though they knew nothing of its power. The necklace was passed down through many generations of Potters, as were the other stolen twelve through different families.

Which brings us to the modern fairy tale…

A/N: I hope everybody who read this was smart enough to figure out who the Potters' descendant is, lol ~_*.
