???: Saaaaattt!!! Where are you!? Saaattt!!!! Please respond! I'm sorry for what I said, please come back!

A woman screamed with all her heart, but to the person she screeched to, there didn't seem to be a response

???: Where could have he gone to!?

Another woman approaches and quickly states

???: Amola,we both know where he probably is, it's too late to find him now...

Amola looked at the other woman with teary eyes

Amola: Sammy, that kid... I really thought he'd accept me as his mother, no one ever wanted him because of how strange he seemed to be, but why did he have to run away today out of all the days he could've!?

Sammy: We both know why, it's his birthday today isn't it? He always loved looking at the night sky, today's a full moon, and a clear sky to the stars, he loved his mother very much too, he dreams of her coming from the stars one day, he claims she got taken away to the moon or something

Amola: That kid... He really is something else...

Somewhere in a corn field, Texas

Sat: Today... That woman was going to take me, I heard she said she'd take me and make me her son as a birthday gift, I don't want no mother... I don't need a home... I already have you! Right!?

Sat talked to the moon as he sat lost in the corn field

Sat: I don't need anyone, I'm fine by myself! As long as the stars are aligned and the moon shines, my path towards a future with world peace can finally be achieved!

As the boy talked into the night sky a bright light shined on the corner of his eye as the moons light reflected off a shiny metallic object

Sat: Is that a hole!? What's this?

The boy reached into the hole whith the skinny item, when he pulled out he saw a bag, a bag of gold coins

Sat: Is this?

???: Yes, my child, That indeed is buried treasure

Sat: AAAAHHHH!!!

Sat jumped and screamed as he got startled by the voice of someone unknown to him

Sat: SORRY FOR ENTERING HERE WITHOUT PERMISSION I-

???: Calm down kid, I'm not here to lecture you

Sat catch his breath and quickly answered

Sat: Eh!? You're not!? Then are you here for the treasure!? Who are you!?

???: Treasure? Oh no no, I have no need for human values my child, I'm here for you!

Sat: For me?

Sat slowly looked at the extremely tall woman, when his eyes finally met her face her eyes where covered by her very long and strange looking hair, she bared a symbol he had never seen before, a yellow diamond with a line on the center from top to bottom, and a singular dot in it's center

???: Yes my child, you are more special than you think! You're destined for greatness, have you ever heard of the mistress of life Jinseihana?

Sat: Those are just fairytales!!! My mom used to tell those all the time!

Suddenly Sat remembered his mom and tears started to flow

Sat: m-mom...

The tall woman placed her warm hand on Sat's head and said
