1854, Brukenshire, a small island off the coast of Ireland filled with fishermen and some of the fastest and agile ships ever created. Magic is not unfamiliar to the villagers.
Every person in the island, big or small, knows of Peter Pan. An 18 years-old boy with blond hair and dark eyes. He's always followed by a group of young boys and girls that respect him. Pan is one of the island's magical beings given his never-aging appearance in spite of his almost one-hundred years of existence.
On the contrary, Killian Jones is hated and feared by the villagers and respected by the other bandits and pirates. A pirate of 21 years-old, black haired, light blue eyes, a hook on his left hand and a crew of pirates at his command. Captain of the Jolly Roger, that is, however ancient, still able to be faster than all of the other ships.
Every villager had heard of or experienced the difficult story between Peter Pan and Killian Jones, how Peter had saved a beautiful woman from Killian's grasp. However, the fight had caused the woman's death leading to Pan cutting off the pirate's hand as punishment. Later, Killian Jones replaced his missing hand for a hook that the pirate used for his defense. Every one present that day in the village celebrated Pan's victory by drinking and dancing around the pirate's hand that Peter Pan kept as a trophy.
From that day on, Killian started to be called Captain Hook by so many people that he made the name his, causing many people to forget his real name.
Wendy Darling is one of the lost girls, with 16 years of age, blonde hair and bue eyes. As one of the older lost girls, she protects and cares for the younger girls making her one of Pan's favorites. Wendy also has two younger brothers that are part of Pan's group of lost boys - John, who's 9 years old and Michael, who's 4.
In one of Wendy's nights with Pan, she discovers she's with child. Wendy gets scared for her first unborn child because, according to a popular legend, Pan's camp was cursed by a smoky dark being with glowing red eyes that took all the newly-born babies to never be seen again. The Shadow, as they called it, was a vicious being that haunted the ones who went on against Pan. Peter was the only one capable to defeat it.
Wendy wanted the baby to live and grow happy and healthy so, in the day that her water broke, she ran when Captain Hook and his crew decided to attack the market, causing Pan's intervention for he always loved to fight the Captain and his crew. A midwife helped Wendy give birth in an abandoned house away from the camp site. The lost girl had time to see and embrace the little baby girl naming her Rose until the midwife took the child to the village's church.
From that day on, Wendy and the midwife were never seen again.
