Author's notes:
I have almost permanent writers block, plus I'm a procrastinator. It's gonna take a while for new parts. I will try to make the parts as long as possible, so you don't have to get as many ads while scrolling through the parts.
⚠️THE PROLOGUE IS JUST A SMALL GLIMPSE INTO THE START OF THIS JOURNEY, IT IS NOT A FULL PART!!! THE ACTUAL STORY BEGINS IN PART ONE, NOT THE PROLOGUE.⚠️ (⁠*⁠˘⁠︶⁠˘⁠*⁠)
