Once upon a time, on a little island not too far from the continent of Fiore, there was a small village. Almost all of the people that lived in that village where humans, except for one extraordinary girl and her name was Lucy.

Our story begins when she is only 8 years old. She is just a child oblivious to the danger that the future holds for her. She is a very sweet and fragile girl but her birth is full of mystery and sadness. She had never got to meet her mother due to complications during labor and died as soon as Lucy was born. Her father had gone and abandoned her at his parent's house.

Her ancestry is a mystery as well. She knows that her mother was from the mainland and her father was from the island but moved to the i shortly after he turned eighteen years old. Three years later, after their son had left the island, her grandparents were startled to see a baby girl on their door step with a note in her basket saying:

"Dear Parents,

This is your grandchild. Her name is Lucy. I know that I have not spoken to you in over three year but I am asking you for a favor. Please take care of my child. Her mother had died after giving birth to her and I cannot take care of this child on my own. Please raise her well in my absence and give her the love I will never be able to give her.

Love your son,

Jude"

That night Lucy was lying in bed as her grandmother was reading the letter that Lucy's dad left with her for the millionth time. It was sort of a bed time story reassuring the little girl that her father actually cared about her. After her grandparents had both kissed her good night, the little girl snuck out through a back window in her room and climbed the only mountain that made up the island itself.

Lucy had been doing this ever since she found the letter from her father one day while cleaning the house with her grandmother. Once she reached the top of the mountain she could see the whole island. It was pitch black because everyone had gone to bed. She had looked up and she could see the stars shine down on her as if she was in space itself.

She had laid down on the nice grass while she twirled her necklace in her hand. It was a beautiful necklace, it was a gold heart shaped with a part of it that looked broken off and had diamonds all on it with a little crown on one side of the heart. Her grandmother said it was around her neck when they found her on their door step. She had never taken it off since then.

Lucy laid on top of her mountain looking up at the stars when she suddenly heard a loud explosion. The little girl look towards the sound and saw that her home was on fire.
