A lone wolf is seen by a teenage boy carrying a red rose before dropping the rose and scampering off into the setting sun. The boy by the name of Alexander Chance wonders about the rose when he sees a piece of paper wrapped around the rose. Alex picks up the rose careful to avoid its thorns and unravels the note. The note reads, "If you are reading this then I have turned. I cannot speak or write in this wretched form I am stuck in, so I wrote this letter before the curse took over my body. I hope to find someone who can reverse the curse. If you are reading this that person is you. You alone have the magic to get rid of this horrid, wretched curse and return me to my glorious teenage girl self." Alexander Chance gasps and looks towards the path the wolf took. "But I have no magic."
