Alma watched as her husband gave her a small final kiss before he went off to try and make peace with their invaders. He was unarmed and showed them respect, yet they didn't listen. The leader snapped out his sword and killed him in one strike.

Alma fell to her knees as tears raced down her cheeks like a waterfall. She held her children close to her as she let her pain throb out of her like an open gunshot wound. He was now gone. The light of her life was now gone. More tears shot out when she realized something.. We're next.. my children will never grow up to live their lives.. I'll never see them grow up, get married, and have children of their own..

She collapsed onto the ground as she held her children close to her. She already was going to let them kill her. She couldn't fight anymore. They've already lost.. Pedro.. my dear Pedro, I'm so sorry.. I failed you..

Right when the invaders were going to kill them as well, the candle she dropped glowed brighter. The people, watched in awe as the candle formed into a magical candle, killing the invaders, giving them the safety they needed. Alma looked up to see the magical candle as she tried to regain herself. Our new hope.. our second chance of life..

The candle guided them to a clearing and built her a house to raise her children, La Casita.. the poor widow was still effected by her loss, but she knew she had to step up to be the new leader. She raised her triplets and helped care of the village. It took some time, but the people healed. They were now safe with their new Encanto.

This is where this sorry begins...
