Let me explain my question:

I want to write the prologue of the story with the narrator in first person with the point of view of the protagonist. But the story is already written in a third person narrator... and I have 2 protagonist so its not omniscent.

I think is like a cheap trick do this change of pov and narrator... I want to write a strong "first lines" (for hooking, you know) and I think is easiest that way, at least for my idea.

I'm so sorry for my bad english, I hope someone can help me.
