"To My Beloved Children, Grandchildren, Or To Whomever The Pure-Hearted, Good-Intentioned Warrior Who Has Found And Is Currently Reading This Book That I Have Painstakingly Written For My Descendants And The Paladins Of Light Of The Once-Pure Universe I Had Created Long Ago, At The TRUE Beginning Of Time And Space... I'm Sorry If I Am Not There With You As You Read This Diary, Or Rather, This Sacred Storybook Of Mine But At Least In Your Hands, It Is Safe From Those Who Wish To Destory This Very Book, Our Race, And The Legends Of The Lost Paladins Of Ūnivërsêeæl - And Many Other Universes - Between The Covers Of This Book. I Want To Let All Of You Know That There Has ALWAYS Been Outcasts Everywhere In The Universe, But Some Of Them Actually Stood Out More Than The Rest Of Them. These People Were Known As The Paladins Of Justice + Courage, Life + Instinct, Hope + Love, Adventure, Freedom, Time, Space, And, Of Course, The Most Legendary Paladin Of All.. The Fearless Wilderness! Your Own Uncle, Nonetheless! Within The Ancient Covers Of This Book Lies The Truth I Never Had The Courage - Unlike One Of Your Own - To Tell You. You... All Of You... Are The Reincarnations Of Legendary Paladins From The Lost And Time-Forgotten History Of Our Native Universe... Or Rather... Galaxy. At The Beginning Of Each Story, I Have Placed The Modern-Day Name Of The Reincarnated Paladin That It Corresponds To. I Hope You Can Forgive Me For Keeping Your True Selves Hidden Away From You. I Thought That By Doing So, I Would Be Able To Give All Of You - My Sacredly Beloved, Undying, And Time-Forgotten Family Of Paladins Under The Sun - A Normal Life Without The Strife, Grief, Pain, And Many Of The Other Bad Things Of Your Past Lives Together. Unfortunately, I Was Wrong To Think Such TREACHERY Would Save You From The Bad Things In Our Universe. I Wish I Had Time To Explain All Of It But, Unfortunately, I Do Not. Once Again!! I'm Sorry For Everything!!!

I'd Like to think I was a good person, before it all began.
I didn't cheat on tests, or steal. But throughout my entire life, I was treated if I were a monster. At the age of five, after several agonizing tests, I was diagnosed with Reactive Attachment Disorder. But not even that title could describe just how strange I was. When another kid got hurt, I would cry. Whenever someone else was told a funny joke, I would laugh hysterically. People looked at me as if I were crazy- and for while I agreed with them.
That was until I, Caddie Jones, was exiled to Nox Haven Academy, a school for truly special kids. Not the mentally ill, psychotic kind of special but the magical kind. Like witches, vampires, fairies and werewolves. Call me crazy if you want, you wouldn't be the first. But the stories are all true. The supernatural did exist and I was one of them. Life there was cool until suddenly, I was faced with two-faced witches, egotistical princes, hormone driven werewolves, and an army of evil warlocks who were threatening to destroy the world.
... Maybe Nox Haven was a school for psychos after all.
