Prologue:

The Tragedy

SHE stood over HIS lifeless body, screaming at HIM. "YOU BASTARD! HOW COULD YOU DO THAT TO ONE OF THE CHILDREN! YOU F-!"

Once SHE ran out of breathe SHE turned to the girl, who clutched what little of her clothing remained closer to her, fear staining her eyes.

"You poor child." SHE murmurs, gently touching her face. "You poor, poor thing. Don't worry. I'll make it better."

SHE stands and walks over to THEIR dresser. SHE removed the poke ball holding HER one pokemon from its place there. SHE released HER Gengar and removed one of HER dressing gowns and covers the girl's trembling body.

"It's alright Virgo. I'll make it better." SHE smiled sadly at Virgo, as the girl's trembling turned into violent shakes racking her thin body. "I'll curse you."

Virgo froze, tears pouring from her eyes and streaming down her face.

"Oh. Don't cry. Don't cry." SHE gently cradled the frozen girl to HER chest. "Soon, you won't feel what remains of HIS touch. I curse you Virgo. So that you will not be able to feel another's touch. So that the pain filling you now will never fill you again. I curse you, my most beautiful child."

A gentle hand stoked her cheek.

"I curse you."

And she felt no more.

xXxXx

SHE closed the door to the room where HIS body resided and saw them. They were tied up and positioned with a view of what had happened in the room. Of what HE had done to Virgo.

"Oh my poor dears. You shouldn't have had to see that." HER voice was soft, sending shivers down their backs. "I won't let you two see anything like that again." The smile that spread across HER face made them want to run, but they were still bound tight. "I'll curse the both of you. So that your eyes will never see the light again. So that this sight will forever be forbidden from you. I curse you, Libra. I curse you, Aquarius. I curse you, my wisest children."

A hand brushed softly across their eyes.

"I curse you."

And their sight vanished.

xXxXx

HER ears caught the sound of quiet sobbing. SHE found the source in the room next to where HE lay. The small boy sobbed in the farthest part of the room.

"My child. It's alright. You heard it all, didn't you?" SHE knelt in front of him, drawing him into a gentle embrace. The sobs racked his small body. "The sounds are gone now. And I'll make it so they can never return. I'll curse you. So that no more sounds can torture you. So that silence is all you hear. I curse you, Gemini. I curse you, my smallest boy."

Hands covered his ears.

"I curse you."

And his world fell silent.

xXxXx

A door opened and the three entering boys clutched their noses. SHE came around the corner, Gengar floating behind her shoulder.

"Children. Are you alright? Do you smell something bad?" HER eyes radiated worry, but still SHE sent chills down their backs. "Don't worry. I'll make the smell go away. I'll make it go away forever. I'll curse you. So that you will never have to smell this horrid scent again. So that no scent can fill you with this dread. I curse you, Taurus. I curse you, Leo. I curse you, Scorpio. I curse you, my strongest boys."

A hand touched each of their noses.

"I curse you."

And the scents of the world faded.

xXxXx

A dull thud reverberated throughout the house, originating from the room where SHE had left HIM. SHE quickly made her way back there. A girl was sprawled on the floor next to HIM, rejecting all she had eaten.

"My sweet girl, are you alright? Did you trip and fall? Oh my, did you get some of that filth in your mouth?" SHE held back the girl's hair and gently wiped her forehead. The fear the child felt chilled her to the bone. "I'll make it all better. I'll curse you. So that the disgusting taste will disappear. So that never again will you taste something bad. I curse you, Capricorn. I curse you, my young one."

A hand brushed softly against her lips.

"I curse you."

And all sense of taste left.

xXxXx

Light singing was heard nearing the next room. SHE went to the little girl and stopped her from going through the open door.

"You're my precious girl Polaris. My special little song bird. No one else should hear that voice." HER voice was deranged, causing the little girl quickly try to get away. SHE held her face gently but firmly, smiling softly at the young child. "I won't let anyone else hear it. I'll curse you! So that you will never be able to sing. So that your voice will forever be silent! I curse you, Polaris."

A gentle hand stroked her throat.

"I curse you."

And her voice disappeared.

xXxXx

A Rapidash entered through a door made especially for it. It was HIS. When it saw HIM, saw what SHE had done, it went mad. Not caring about the children that resided in the halls of the orphanage. Its mane and tail lashed about, throwing fire into every corner of the room.

It went searching for HER. It had to make HER pay. Pay for what SHE had done to HIM. It left the room, ignoring the two girls that lay next to HIM.

The embers and sparks that flew from its tail lit the ropes binding the two girls just outside the room, freeing and burning their unconscious forms. It did not notice them at all.

It did not notice the three still boys either. It was only concerned with hunting HER down. It passed the room where a girl was laid next to a boy. It did not see them.

Where had SHE gone? It was blind and numb to all else. It did not realize that with each step, its flames spread and began to eat away the house that HE had built. Built to shelter the very children it was ignoring.

It did not care. It had finally found HER. SHE was sitting, looking out the front window-out into the yard that HE had cared so much for. It lost control. Flames leapt from its form as it charged HER, intent on its revenge. As its hooves flew, striking HER across the head, it lost all sense of sanity.

In the end, it burned up along with HER. Burned to ash by its own flames.

xXxXx

"Sagittarius! Sagittarius!" A young boy came barreling up the path, nearly colliding with the young man.

"Whoa, slow down there Pisces! Where's the fire?" The young man, Sagittarius, just barely caught Pisces before the boy caused them both to fall.

A girl- Aries- the same age as Pisces, and a boy- Cancer- just a few years older than them, walked over to see what was going on.

Pisces, having caught his breathe a little, managed to gasp out, "That's just it. The house-" A few moments of desperate gasps. "The house is on fire!"

The four of them went racing back down the path, rushing to the house.

The sight that greeted them froze them in their tracks for a moment, before they are off again. The flames were beginning to lick up the sides of the large house.

They rushed into the house, searching for the other children that they knew were there.

Aries opened one door and promptly had to close it again, barely keeping her stomach contents down at the sight. With watering eyes she opened other doors, closing the doors again until she found the room where Gemini and Polaris lay unconscious. She quickly pulled the small bodies to the window and climbed out with them.

Pisces had rushed through another door and tripped over three boys. He quickly started to pull them out of the house, getting them as far away as he could.

Cancer and Sagittarius had entered through the door made especially for HIS pokemon. They saw HIS body, but were more concerned with getting the two girls that lay there unconscious. As Cancer grabbed Capricorn's limp form, Sagittarius went to grab Virgo. As he reached her, he noticed the two collapsed just across the hall with burns covering their arms.

"Cancer! Get Capricorn out, then grab Virgo! I see two more!" Sagittarius tossed over his shoulder as he dashed to the still forms.

Once they had gotten the girls out of immediate danger, Sagittarius ran back in to do a final check.

He pushed several doors open, barely glancing in before rushing to the next one. The sights inside drove him on. He reached the front living room and vaguely saw the forms of HER and THEIR pokemon, burning hotly. He quickly moved on, rushing up the stairs.

What greeted him when he opened the nearest door was more gruesome than all the rest.

As he fought to keep his stomach under control, a voice called weakly from the room on the other side of the hall. Its door was open, giving the occupant a clear view of him.

"Saj..."

He whipped around and quickly ran in. "Ursa! Don't worry, I'll-"

"Don't...not gonna... you...get out." The young woman weakly stopped him, with full knowledge that she wouldn't be lasting much longer. She tried to hand him something, but her hand barely moved. "Give...Ris..."

With that, she was gone.

Barely able to keep his emotions from overwhelming him, Sagittarius grabbed what she had tried to hand him and ran as fast as he could out of the house.

Once he reached where all the other children were sheltering safe distance away, he turned and looked back.

The flames were greedily gobbling up the rest of the house now. The smoke rising thickly into the sky.

Shouts were heard from the path that led to town. The townspeople came rushing up, using their Water-types to attempt to put the fire out. Several saw the children and came running over to check on them. They gave some emergency treatment to the burns that all of the children now bore.

The four children who were not unconscious all silently wished for the house to continue to burn. So the tragedy the now resided in its walls would not have to be seen by others. So that the other children could be released.

They wished for the house to burn.

xXxXx

The Awakening

She slowly opened her eyes; an odd feeling resided in her body. She blinked up at the unfamiliar ceiling for a little while.

"Vir, you awake?" A voice rose quietly from next to her.

Startled, she tried to jerk away from it.

"Vir! Calm down! It's just me." Sagittarius moved into her line of view and she relaxed. He gently reached out and tucked some of her hair behind her ear. "You okay Vir?"

Confusion bloomed on her features. "Virgo?"

She looked down and saw that he was holding her hand in one of his. "Saj. I can't feel you hand. I couldn't feel it when you touched my hair either."

He face grew serious. "What can you feel? Anything?"

"No." Panic was growing quickly in the young teenager. "I can't feel anything. What's going on, Saj?" She glanced frantically around the room. "Where are we?"

"Calm down. We're at the hospital. The house caught fire. Do you remember what happened at all?"

"Bits and pieces, but nothing clearly." She watched his face as conflicting emotions played across it.

Before he could say anything else, a quiet groan emanated from the other side of Virgo. He quickly made his way over to the next bed.

"Hey Rico. You feeling okay?" He helped the preteen to sit up as he asked.

"Saj? Where the heck are we? And why does my leg hurt so much?"

The relief that she was able feel things spread across Virgo's face and flashed across Saj's as he replied. "We're at the hospital. The orphanage caught fire. Do you remember anything?"

Capricorn made a face as she racked her memory. "No. Not really."

"What's going on Saj?" Virgo asked; worry worming its way into the panic that had settled into her heart.

"Saj! Saj! Riu just woke up!" A young boy came barreling into the room, catching the door frame to slow himself down.

"That's great-Pise, what's wrong?" Saj went and crouched in front of the boy, clasping his shoulder.

Pisces looked into his eyes. "She can't see."

xXxXx

Sagittarius aided Virgo into the room while Pisces did the same with Capricorn.

"W-who's there?" Aquarius's voice quavered as she called out.

"Saj, Vir, Rico and me, Sis." Pisces quickly settled Rico into a chair and went to his big sister's side, grabbing her hand.

Once Virgo had also been settled into a chair, Saj went over to the bed as well. "Riu, you can't see a thing?"

"No!" A panicked sob filled her voice. "Saj, I'm scared."

He sat on the edge of the bed and gave her a one-armed hug, the sadness in his eyes growing when she flinches at the contact. "Just me, Riu." He gave her some quiet comfort for a few minutes. "Riu, do you remember anything that happened?"

"Pise mentioned that the house caught fire, but I don't remember that and what I do remember..."She trailed off, tears making crystal tracks down her cheeks.

The five sat in silence for about half an hour, going over the bits and pieces of what they knew had happened. They all turned towards the door when they heard voices and footsteps coming down the hall.

Saj stood up and went to the door. Leaning out, he looked to see who it was. "Aries, Taurus, Leo, will the three of you quiet down. There are other people besides you here."

The three turned and saw him, quickly coming over. When Leo spotted his younger sister, Virgo, he ran over to check on her.

"Vir, are you okay?" He asked, kneeling on the floor in front of her, softly cupping her cheek.

"Leo..." Virgo said before almost breaking down. She quickly tried to get herself under control, turning to Saj and attempting to distract herself. "Do we know where Gem and Ris are? They're okay, right?"

He had returned to sit by Riu and everyone turning towards him in anticipation of his answer. He gives them all a tired smile. "As far as I know the only injuries they have are some light burns, same as Libra. Last time I checked on the three of them, they were still unconscious." He glanced at Aries. "My guess is that Scorpio and Cancer went to visit them?"

The quiet girl gave a little nod. "I thought that maybe the rest of us could go see them?"

Saj's smile grew a little less tired. He turned to Virgo, Capricorn and Aquarius. "The three of you up to walking? You all have burns on your legs."

Rico glanced at the other two. "I think we'll need help but we should be able to make it."

Carefully, the group made its way to where the rest of the surviving children were. As they walked, Saj asked how Taurus and Leo were.

Taurus gave a weary smile. "We just seem to have a few burns."

Just then, the group passed an area of the hospital that had been recently cleaned.

"Ugh. The smell of antiseptic is so strong." Aries clutched her nose. "Rus, how can you stand it?"

Rus turned to his little sister. "What are you talking about? What smell?"

Saj's expression turned dark and worried. "Leo, do you smell anything?"

The other boy took a few sniffs and shrugged his shoulders. "Nope. I can't smell anything."

"Neither could Scorp." A voice came from further down the hall. Cancer stood there with a slight smile on his young face. "Good timing, I was just going to get you. Li, Gem and Ris seem to be starting to wake up."

The group began to hurry down the hall, but Saj held back a bit trying to work something out.

"Saj?" Cancer called to the oldest of the group.

Sagittarius jumped a bit when he heard his name called, before sending a smile the other's way. "Sorry, Ans. Just a bit lost in my thoughts."

xXxXx

When they reached the room, they saw Libra stirring on her hospital bed. On the bed next to her lay her two younger siblings. Polaris was still barely stirring while her twin brother Gemini was sitting up.

The youngest boy of all the children was looking at Scorpio in utter confusion as the older boy tried to ask him how he was. When Gem cupped his hands over his ears, everyone realized what was wrong.

Cancer pulled out the sketchbook he always had on him and wrote something down before handing it to Gemini. Can you hear anything?

The boy read what had been written and frantically shook his head.

"Gem...Ris..." Libra's voice rose softly from her bed, but unlike every other time that she had ever spoken in Gem's presence, the boy didn't react. That proved to the rest that he could hear nothing. Suddenly, Libra was sitting up straight in her bed. "Gem! Ris! Where...What's going on?"

The sudden movement of his big sister caught his attention and he reached across the small gap between the beds and grabbed her hand.

When her hand jerked away from him, his face became absolutely terrified. Libra never jerked away from her younger siblings.

Before anyone else could speak, Saj sat down on the edge of Libra's bed. "Libra...You can't see anything, can you?"

"Saj?" Libra's hand reached out in front of her, searching.

"Right here. The one who grabbed your hand before was Gem."

"Ohmygosh. Gem, I'm so sorry! I- I didn't-!" She panicked, trying to find the hand she had rejected earlier.

Gem quickly grabbed her hand again, obviously relieved when his was given a warm squeeze. He looked to Saj in hopes of finding out what was wrong with her.

Saj gestured to get the sketchbook and once he did, he only wrote one simple sentence on it before showing it to Gemini.

She's blind.

"Um, Saj?" Aries quietly spoke up. "How is Li going to communicate with Gem if she's blind?"

"Ari, what do you mean? Gem can hear me can't he? And where's Ris?" Libra's grip on Saj's hand was just shy of being painful.

"Please calm down, Li. Ris is asleep next to Gem." Saj gave her hand as comforting a squeeze as he could. "And Gem... Gem's can't hear anything. I'm... I'm worried that Ris might not be able to either when she wakes up."

Libra's grip on Saj's hand slackened in her shock.

xXxXx

Around an hour later, everyone's positions had shifted as they waited for the youngest child to awaken. Most of the boys were leaning against one of the walls. Aquarius and Libra were settled on Libra's bed with Aries nearby, while Virgo sat in one of the chairs with Leo standing right next to her, having finally found out what was wrong with her. Gem was lying next to his twin, clutching her hand. Sagittarius sat in the chair right next to their bed, gently rolling something in his hands.

Light hazel eyes slowly blinked open as the small girl slowly woke up. As soon as her hand twitched, Gem was sitting up looking down at her worriedly.

When Gem moved, Saj looked over at the girl. "Hey. Ris, can you hear me?"

At her slow nod, everyone who could see relaxed. When Aries let out a quiet 'thank goodness', Riu and Li also relaxed.

Polaris looked around at everyone sleepily and Sagittarius couldn't help but smile. The girl had always had trouble waking up.

He clenched what he had been rolling in his hands gently, then held it out to Ris. "I was told to give you this."

Suddenly, she was wide awake, slowly shaking her head in disbelief. As the others realized what he was holding, they began to break down.

"That's...Ursa's...But she was supposed to be out!" Aries cried.

Libra was the only one besides Saj that seemed calm. "She was planning a surprise party for Gemini and Polaris. That's why she was home-at the house."

"Libra and I were the only ones she said was allowed to know. We were helping her set things up." Aquarius gave a sad smile through her tears.

Polaris gently took the poke ball from Saj's hand. Inside it was a young Teddiursa.

"His name is Kokab. After the second star in the Ursa Minor constellation. The constellation that has Polaris as its first star. His ability is Pickup. Ursa and I went out to get him and one other pokemon the other day. Ursa ended up catching two Teddiursa, one for you and one for her. Her's was named Alruccabah, after the first star in the Ursa Major constellation. She wanted to be able to train them together with you. I...haven't figured out what to do with Alruccabah." Saj writes everything he says down so that Gem can understand what is going on. He turns to a new page with one hand while the other pulls another poke ball out of his pocket. "This is Castor, a Bidoof named after the first star in the Gemini constellation. We caught him for Gemini. His ability is Simple. They are for your birthday, but I think you should have them now."

Gemini finished reading the writing and took the poke ball, holding it close to his chest as tears fell down his face.

Saj tilted Ris's face up so that he could look her in the eye. "You okay, kiddo?"

Polaris opened her mouth, but no sound came out. Her eyes opened wide and it was obvious that she was trying again. All that came out was a fit of coughs that racked her small frame. When she brought her hand away from her mouth after the fit passed, it was covered in blood.

xXxXx

The doctor looked her over, and everyone seemed utterly confused by the fact that Polaris was completely healthy.

As a nurse resettled Ris in the room, some police officers came in to talk to them about what had happened at the orphanage.

"Hello, I'm Officer Thompson and this is my partner, Officer Williams. We came to get your statements on what happened." The older of the two stated as he pulled out a notepad. Cancer took the sketchbook and began writing down what was being said for Gemini. After thinking a moment, he also took two sheets and gave them to the twins so that they would be able to say their piece. Officer Thompson turned to Capricorn. "Why don't we get your statement first?"

She grabbed one of the snacks that Pisces had run and gotten while Ris was being checked out. As she opened it, she shrugged. "I don't remember much, it's all kinda foggy."

She started to eat the pudding as the officers went through each of the children, trying to get something out of them but only getting different versions of 'I don't remember'. It was Polaris that noticed something was off with Capricorn.

Rico? What's wrong? Ris ended up having to slap the table to get Rico's attention, and with it she got everyone else's.

"Huh?" She looked up and saw what Ris had written. "Oh, it just...I can't taste anything. SHE really did..."

"Who really did what?" Officer Williams was getting angry at the lack of answers that they were receiving. "Obviously, you kids know what happened before the fire. WE know that she-" He pointed an accusatory finger at Virgo. "- was raped. What we want to know is who did that, and also who started the fire."

Cancer stopped writing, refusing to subject Gemini to the topic. Gem happened to be looking at Virgo when she snapped.

Virgo stood up and glared at the police officers. "You want to know who did it? Fine. The man who was supposed to be looking after us and taking care of us. What's worse? He decided to put on a show for some of the other children at the orphanage. He bound Libra and Aquarius in the room across the hall and left the door open so that they would have to watch. I happen to also know that Gemini had been taking a nap in the next room over. When our other caretaker, that man's wife, found us, she snapped. Killing him. Then she went, got her Gengar, and cursed me. After that? I was unconscious until I awoke here in the hospital." Tears were freely streaming down her face as her brother turned her around and held her to him, shielding her as best he could from anything that wanted to harm her.

He turned a glare of his own onto the shocked police officers. "Are you happy now? Now that you made her dredge up the memories that she was trying so hard to bury?"

Thompson sat down heavily in a chair, tiredly rubbing his eyes. "Look, I don't want to do this to any of you. But it's my job and the sooner you give me your statements the sooner you can go back to forgetting what happened."

Slowly, the children told the officers what they remembered. When Gemini wrote how he had woken up to the sounds of Virgo being raped and mentally tortured, it was obvious that if HE hadn't been dead already then Officer Thompson would have tracked HIM down and cheerfully beaten HIM to a pulp.

When Pisces described how he had found the house on fire, Officer Williams interrupted.

"Are you runts kidding me? Are you seriously trying to convince us that you were cursed? And that you don't know how the fire started?"

Saj stood up and looked the younger of the cops in the eye. "Why don't you let us finish talking before you decide to call us liars? I happen to know how the fire started. So why don't you just wait for us to talk."

Williams just rolled his eyes and motioned for Pisces to continue.

After Cancer told his bit, Aries turned to look at Saj before glancing at Ris and Gem. "I don't know..."

Officer Williams started to get angry again, but before Saj could say anything, a piece of paper was thrust into his face.

We'll find out eventually. He looked at the piece of paper that Ris had written on then looked to see the twins' determined faces. Gemini held up another piece of paper. You know we will.

He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. "Go ahead and say what you saw, Ari."

And so she told how she had seen child after child massacred in the other rooms. There had been a total of fifty children residing at the Orphanage for Lonely Stars. Aries told the cops of how, as she was searching for people to get out of the burning house, she had opened several rooms that had only held the mutilated bodies of the other children.

Tears were slowly falling from Officer Thompson's eyes as he listened. Officer Williams's eyes were huge as Ari continued to describe what she had seen and it was obvious that he was having trouble keeping his lunch down.

When she was finished, Officer Thompson looked at Sagittarius. "That just leaves your bit, young man."

Saj took a few more deep breathes before he spoke. "After I got Riu and Li out of the house, I went back in. I searched as much of the first floor that I could. When I reached the front living room, it was completely engulfed in flames. I was able to make out three shapes in it though. I saw that man's Rapidash, the woman and the woman's Gengar. The Gengar and the woman weren't moving at all, while the Rapidash was thrashing about. It looked like it was trampling her as she burned. After I saw that, I quickly went upstairs to see if anyone was alive there. The first door I opened..." Saj paused, obviously fighting with his own stomach. "The bodies weren't even recognizable anymore. It was like each child had been turned inside out. From the room across the hall from that…that nightmare was Ursa. I don't know how she managed to hold on that long in the condition she was, but she was still alive when I reached her. But less than a minute after I found her, she was gone and I had to get out of the house before I was trapped. It's been three days since then and I still can't get the image of those...piles of mutilated flesh that just earlier that day I had been keeping an eye on as they played to make sure they didn't hurt themselves." He looked up and paused as Williams ran out of the room. He could be heard puking in the hall. Saj focused his gaze on Thompson. "The total amount of dead is around 37 dead children, two adults, and two pokemon. Would you like me to go into any more detail?"

"No." Thompson replied with a sigh, "Oh, Arceus no. I wish there was some way for me to help you get rid of those awful memories."

"What? Like curse us?" Scorpio mad a wry face. "I have to deal with one curse already, and that is one curse too many."

"Will you quit it with the curse joke already?" Officer Williams sneered as he reentered the room. "I get that you went through a horrible experience, but the only beings that can be cursed are pokemon. What you are dealing with is simply trauma. Eventually it will disappear."

The children were silent, looking at him with cold eyes though he didn't seem to notice.

Thompson did, though. "Williams, why don't you go ahead and take the report to the chief? I'll catch up in a bit." Once his partner had left, he turned back at the children, whose eyes remained just as chilly as before. "I apologize for him. I'd like to say that he isn't usually like that, but I would be lying. Now, I don't know if you children are actually cursed or not, but I do know that I want you to have this." He handed a card to Sagittarius. "It has my contact information, so that if any of you ever need anything, you can just call. I'll make sure to get some for the rest of you as well, so that once you are all settled at new orphanages-"

"Whoa. Stop. You were doing real well up to that point, sir. But none of us are going to another orphanage. I'll be 18 in less than a year, and really, most kids our ages are off on Pokémon journeys anyways, so I think we can now take care of ourselves without having to overcrowd another place. We'll look after each other and help each other." Saj was standing in front of the officer, completely sure in what he was saying. "I don't think any of us could stand being separated from the others after what just happened, and if we were sent off, we would undoubtedly be split into groups. Possibly even separating some of us kids who are actually related to each other. We don't want that."

Thompson looked the group over. They had drawn closer together at the mention of being split apart. "How many pokemon do you all have between you?"

Polaris quickly wrote a number down and held it up for the officer to see. 4.

"Oh, my." he said as he rubbed his hand across his eyes. "Here, take these. That way, you can catch some more pokemon, because four is not enough pokemon for a group of thirteen." He handed a bag of poke balls to Saj. "I have to go make sure Williams gave an unbiased report and tell the chief not to bother getting people from the other orphanages down here." As he was closing the door, he tossed one last look and a few last words over his shoulder. "Don't forget to call and check in with me every once in a while. I may be able to help you more than you think. And I would like to know that you haven't died because I let your group out on your own."

And with that said, Officer Thompson left.

The next day, the thirteen children had disappeared without a trace.

Author's Note: I plan on posting something else for this story soon. It will not be the first chapter, but really an overview of the characters. At least, the important ones that I introduced in the prologue. As other major characters appear in the story, I will either put their overview in a Special Author's Note or at the end of the chapter. There will also be other information included in the next bit I post.

So far on this account, I have only posted stories that have had a rather light feel to them. This one is going to have some rather serious undertones, but there will also be plenty of fun.

This story is in a completely different story universe than Evolution of a Whisper. Just so you know.

I hope to hear your feedback on this story, and hope you stay tuned for more.

I am not a writer! I am a puppet controlled by fictional characters!
