Prologue

Long ago in a far away land,a beast lived in an abandoned castle. The beast had everything anyone could ever want: Food,clothes,loved ones and so much more.

However,despite all that,the beast was destructive and cold-hearted from a past that no one knew about.

The beast had laid waste to countless villages,harmed innocent people,used people for her own gains and never trusted anyone. One winter night after the beast had destroyed another village,an enchantress appeared before her home warning the beast to stop her attacks on the villages or suffer the consequences.

Raged,the beast told the enchantress that she would destroy as many villages as she pleased and nothing would stop her. Seeing that the beast would not listen,the enchantress cursed the beast to remain trapped in her territory and all her friends were pushed away from her as their memories of her were erased.

Alone and angered,the beast stayed within her castle slowly growing hatred for the world and those in it. Her only way to see into the outside world was a magic mirror. The enchantress also left with the beast an enchanted rose which would bloom until her eighteenth year.

If the beast could learn to trust and earn another's trust by the time the last petal fell the curse would be broken. However,if not she would be doomed to remain cursed for all time. As the years passed,she fell into a dark despair and lost all hope.

For who could ever learn to trust her?
