Prologue

A horned boy, cast away for being the bringer of bad omens, is locked in a stone tomb in the Queen's castle. Until a tremor knocks his tomb over and releases him. But what he finds is beyond comprehension.

Shadow creatures chasing a girl of pure energy, a massive sprawling castle and an unpleasant meeting with the so-called 'Queen'. Yet, he still doesn't know why he was sent here in the first place. Will he escape? Or is his fate to be sealed away in the castle, never to be brought into daylight again?

((Novelisation of the video game 'Ico', I'll be starying from the source mateial rather greatly, but hopefully that will not make my version of the story any worse))
