Prologue Summary: “Before the Beginning”

Content Warning: This section of the guide includes descriptions of graphic violence, physical abuse, and death.

As children, Scarlett and Tella Dragna play in Scarlett’s bedroom. Scarlett pretends to be a queen, while Tella pretends to be a pirate. They squabble over a pearl necklace and end up breaking it. Their mother quietly enters the room and catches one of the flying pearls, then tells the girls that true power lies in love, especially in the bond between sisters.

Part 1, Chapter 1 Summary: “Donatella”

Legend visits Tella in her dreams, dressed in red and gold as opposed to the all-black attire that he usually wore in his guise as Dante. He takes her on a starlit boat ride with fireworks and mermaids, but despite the allure of his beauty and the magical setting, Tella remains guarded. She reminds him of how coldly he abandoned her two nights ago and criticizes his failure to offer her an apology. Though she wants to forgive him and hopes that there is more to him than the manipulative, enigmatic persona he shows to the world, Legend insists that he is not meant to be her hero. He finally reveals the reason for his appearance: to ask if she wants the prize for winning Caraval.
