Elena's grandmother, a wise woman with eyes that held the wisdom of a thousand years, a woman whose voice carried the weight of generations, warned her about the dangers of falling in love with Mateo.  She told her stories of ancient prophecies, of a time when the Romany people would face a great challenge, a time when their very existence would be threatened, a time when the darkness would rise and seek to extinguish the light of their heritage.

The prophecy spoke of a chosen one, a descendant of the Romany lineage, who would rise to face the darkness, a warrior who would wield the power of their ancient magic, a leader who would guide their people through the storm.  Elena felt a chill run down her spine.  She knew, deep down, that she was the chosen one, that she had a destiny to fulfill, a destiny that was intertwined with her people's fate, a destiny that would determine the future of her world.

But she also knew that her destiny was intertwined with Mateo's.  Their love was a force that could heal the world, a power that could save her people, a beacon of hope in the darkness.  But it was also a force that could destroy them, a love that could lead to their downfall, a love that could ignite a fire that could consume them all.
