A/N: Welcome!!!... to my story. This is in true AU fashion, because it's set in the early 1650s, but it's in a land that I created in my mind. More info later.

The first part of this is flashing forward, toward the end of the story to hopefully grab your interest. Be sure to keep track of the times and dates when given. Hope you enjoy this and I'd love your feedback. :))) #muchlove ~Kari~
