The story begins sometime after Valtor was defeated. An unseen narrator begins to speak about a girl who discovered that she is a fairy and a princess: Bloom. Though her story is a magical one, it is one without an ending. The story will only have one when the girl writes the ending—i.e., creates the ending.
