The prologue to a short story I'm writing about faerytales magic and the beginning of time
Prologue

And nevermore would those valiant hearts be seen by a single living soul. Their stories and those of their land dwelling counterparts are the subjects of these long-forgotten tales, told here as remaining tangible evidence of the world of faery and it's magic.....
