Prologue
Toronto Canada, 2006
“We need to ship it now so the next boat will take it to London we need It there by next month” John yelled.
“The order needs to be shipped by two o’clock, we’ve got four hours.” Bill giggled.
“Yes but right now is the shipment with the diamond.”
Bill spat the hot cup of coffee on the floor. “Oh! Let’s get this shipment moving!”
Meanwhile
“No!” A 9 year old child with blonde hair tied up in a bun shrieked. “My mask, my mask it’s my favorite one!” She also wore skinny jeans and flip flops with a t-shirt that was pink and white tidied.
The mask had been a gift from her ancestors. The ancestors of the child had created it with the purest of fabrics. It was a beautiful creation, but there was something special about this particular mask. No one could figure out if this was an accident or if someone meant for this mask to have such a great ability. It was sometimes a great thing but sometimes people thought as to lock it up. But the masked managed to be passed on throughout the family. It was always meant to be kept by a responsible person. If near the mask would make anything you would want reality. Sadly enough the ability was forgotten for a long period of time until brought back by Lydia .M. Abrahams the child who had possession of it now.
“Lydia, we could always get you another one,” her mother said.
“But you don’t understand,” Lydia screamed.
“Yes I do, you have an obsession with it.”
“No it makes my wishes come true.”
“Stop telling fibs Lydia that’s not how a young lady speaks.”
The mask sifted into the crate down below which happens to be the crate John was about to ship, and that’s how this story starts of.
