W.I.T.C.H., Season 1 (2004-2005)

Yan Lin:
Let me tell you girls a story, that I believe will have special meaning for all five of you.

Hay Lin:
Grandma, they really don't want to hear a story.

Yan Lin:
Shh!

[Yan Lin shows the entire universe]

Yan Lin:
The universe was once a single kingdom ruled by good, but evil began to take root. A veil was created to isolate the evil kingdom of Meridian from all other worlds. Without the protection of this veil, every world including Earth is in terrible danger. Meridian has been overtaken by a powerful entity named Phobos, but he is not the legitimate ruler, they believe the true heir to the throne is somewhere here on Earth.

Irma:
Um, I'd like to wake up now.

Yan Lin:
But portals have begun to open in the Veil, doorways through which evil can cross between worlds. There are people called Guardians, whose job it is to close these holes using their powers.

Yan Lin:
I became a Guardian when I was your age, but now the duty is passing to your generation.

Cornelia:
Well, thanks for the snacks.

Yan Lin:
Ah! Ah! Ah!

[Cornelia sits down as Yan Lin shows the mystical Heart of Kandrakar]

Yan Lin:
This is the Heart of Kandrakar, which contains the elementary forces of nature. In the last few days, you have all had unusual experiences. Am I right?

Irma:
Not counting this one.

Yan Lin:
All five of you are starting to notice extraordinary abilities. Irma, you will have noticed any water near you behaving strangely.

[Irma telekinetically moves water with her straw]

Irma:
Okay, all righty!

Yan Lin:
Taranee, I believe you've always been afraid of fire. But focus now on the candle.

[Taranee shoots fire from her finger to the banana]

Yan Lin:
My little Hay Lin, this morning you notice your power over air.

[Hay Lin blows a strong wind stream from her mouth]

Yan Lin:
To you Cornelia, is given the power over earth.

[Cornelia makes the flower grow with her hand]

Yan Lin:
All five of you will get better with your powers...I hope.
