PROLOGUE

What’ll you do if you had made the worst mistake ever?

So horrible, it is still remembered as the most terrible crime.

Well, I’m the author of one of those.

Since even though I’m very known out here, I can tell whoever is reading this doesn’t have a clue of who I am, but that’s not a problem at all, since I don’t know it either.

So, this is the story of a stone-monster….this is my tale.

But this isn’t a common tale.

All tales use to tell you about the main character and his/her adventures, how he/she starts as nothing and through his/her own merits he/she gains recognition from the others, about his/her struggles through the world, gaining fame and friends, as well as experience through them, until finally at the end they reach their goal and gain eternal happiness as well as finding love or finally consuming his/her vengeance (or at least that’s how the book ends).

Well, my story isn’t quite the same.

Don’t be disappointed, since I’m not saying that I’m some sad and lonely guy who has nothing in this world blab la bla….naah…..that’s not me….since I have friends and everything….it’s only that I didn’t quite reach that “eternal happiness”…. even though I’m at the end of my story.

Yep, you guessed right. My story starts at it’s end.

So it all begins at my end…didn’t I told you that my story was not your typical one?

I can give you some advances. For starters, I used to be a king of a random kingdom, I was happily married, I had many friends and also a fancy palace. Now I’m still a ruler, but more like an emperor of a bigger place and I still have many friends and live in a far fancier palace with lots of extra loyal subjects.

Now you are wondering, how is it that this is my end? Why am I a stone monster?

Well, you’ll need to keep reading since this is not the first chapter.

Never forget this is the start of an end.
