Prologue: Fairytale Start
"Okay youngling, time for bed!

A/N: OK, this is my first Dark Angel fic. It is currently several of chapters long, but I am only posting the first 2. Let me know if I should continue. Reviews and critiques are highly welcome. Nastiness will be ignored, but if any clever or witty insults are contained within the nastiness, they will be remembered and recycled when I can't think up any of my own!
