One day,

a pure heart will walk among you.

If she can't lift the curse,

when the 5000th moon

rises from the sea,

this valley shall be plunged

into eternal darkness!!!!

The moon pearls vanished that day,

and where to find them

remained a secret.

Marmaduke!

The house... the valley... it's all...

- Cursed!

Oh yes!

Take a look around you.

Everything's falling apart.

Ever since that terrible day,

the two families have

been totally consumed

with pride...

and blind hatred.

And the only person

who can break this curse

is a true Moon Princess!

The Moon Princess?

But...

she lived hundreds of years ago.

The legend tells...

of a little white horse,

a mystical companion

to protect her.

A magical creature...

invisible so they say...

to anyone...

except a true Moon Princess.

You mean...

I'm suppose to be this...

I'm supposed to undo this curse?

Everyone knows the legend.

Peace will never be restored...

until the pearls are return to the sea

and the families reunited!

This is all madness!

Time is slipping away.

the 5,000th moon...

to set it right.

Stop! Stop...

I don't want to hear another word!

You are all insane!!

Three hundred and eighty-four years...

times thirteen for the moon's per annum.

Plus...

seven moons for this year.

That's...

That makes...

four thousand nine hundred

and ninety-nine.

Oh Serena, the very next moon's

arrival will be the 5,000th moon.

Everyone knows the legend...

These pearls belongs to no man...

They belong to nature!

You're a Merryweather...

You're the chosen one!

Keep out of the forest child!

I've to get out of this

remote place, Serena!

I don't want anything more

to do with this!

Miss Heliotrope

will take good care of you.

Maria....

Maria...

Who are you?

You look...

just like the lady in the painting.

Come along.

Oh, do come in!!

You naughty hedgehog!

In my favorite chair again!

You cheeky monkey!

Be nice and still,

don't make any sudden movement.

Then she won't be so scared!

I will try!

Oh! I was talking to the snake.

I rescued as many

injured creatures as I can.

And did you do the embroidery

and brought all those

strange dresses in my room?

Yes.

My name is Loveday.

Our time is nearly spent right here...

the moon shall not be our forever.

You saw something,

didn't you?

Didn't you?

Tell me what you saw.

I have to leave!

No no no no...

Stay with me!

I've frightened you, haven't I?

You see,

I'm not used to visitors.

And I do so much just

want to be your friend.

It's no use you know...

your father...

he tried to run away too.

But there is nowhere to hide.

He sent you here

because he loved you.

Because Moonacre

is where you belong.
