I notice how much time has past since I arrived in Astroa with an old face and as well a new face also in my presence now. The sun is setting behind us "We should go find somewhere to rest." Darai's suggested action brought me to think about my home as my feet begin to move involuntarily without any thought other than to myself "To move.." I heard voices behind me as I tread forward "Soluph?" it must be Darai speaking to me but I gave no response back as I keep moving closer to my home "I just met you and this is how I get treated?" Razomi must be getting annoyed again or is already annoyed by my bizarre sudden actions, I hear her sigh their foot steps following mine to where I'm moving "Do you know where your pal is um.." pauses forgetting my name "His name is Soluph." Darai stated "Sorry, I haven't been with too many people so.." she stops talking in sight of me not moving staring down at the worn down building made of various stones, I walk up to the entrance "This building is doing pretty well considering what I heard happen to this once prospering city." I walk inside ignoring Razomi's words of knowledge "You know what happened here?" Darai said unaware of the history this place made "Yea, I heard many outsiders come here to stay if they have nowhere else to go." she said informing me and Darai of the current state of what used to be their home place "Wait, were you two-" I look back enough to see her eye's sudden shock of realization "There? Yes.." I spoke silently, she must've heard me as I see her stop moving with us inside the building not believing what she heard from my mouth I notice Darai walking over to her whispering something and she nodded continuing onward into the building's living room "There should be two regular sized beds I'll sleep in some hay in the room over here." I point to my bedroom then walk into the room laying down in the hay close my eye's for some rest. "Say, Darai?" Darai sits on the bed closest to the wall "Yes?" Darai looks at Razomi sitting on the bed opposite to him "About what you said.." she looks down at the floor boards "Don't worry about it." he said trying to comfort her "The past for me and him happened in the past." she looks up at Darai "No point facing something that already happened besides as a step forward." Darai pokes Razomi's nose "Now we both should get some rest okay?" he smiles at Razomi then lays down facing the other direction of her in the bed closing his eye's "What was that for..?" Darai turned around opened his eye's to see her face "Nothing, get some sleep." he goes back to resting his eye's "Okay, if you say so.." Razomi rests her own eye's. "He's acting strange I guess I shouldn't think too much about it." Razomi thinks to herself eventually giving into sleep.

"Razoooomi!" a voice shouts at me to awake "Whaaaat!?" I yelled back at the little foxarian looking down at me while I lay down on a haystack sounding annoyed from being disturbed in my sleep "Hey!" I look up at him "No need to yell to wake me up." I stated "But, big sister.." my younger brother, Taruno, a worry wort but he tends to genuinely look up to me. I get up off from the haystack that I was laying down on to sleep beside my house "I don't know if I could ever be me without you sister.." I put my hand on his head rubbing it "Now, now.. no need to worry about me you munchkin." I smile at him, considering he's almost half my age he can walk on two legs like I can unlike me I learned at a later age than he did. "But, if mom and dad don't worry about you.." Taruno's eye's begin to water "Taruno.." my voice softens, he looks up at me gently pushes my hand off his head then gives me a big hug "You don't have to cry.. leave the worrying about everyone to me!" his hug gets tighter "B-but.. big sisteer..!" I look down at him "How bout this.." Taruno stops crying so he can hear what I have to say "We worry together, how that sound?" my words reach him this time comforting him, he looks up "Promise?" I smile at him "I Promise." Taruno walks away into our home. My home where I live is called Trenish a small peaceful civilization living amongst the nature around them, far off in a forest away from Astroa, we have homes built from trees surrounding us but the most important of all only those who respect mother nature are allowed into Trenish. I walked to the edge of Trenish noticing something off in the distance, a shadowy figure in the woods, my curiosity of this shadowy figure increases as I begin to run closer trying not to make sounds under my feet, the shape of the shadow becomes clearer staring right at me "Who are you?" he said In a soft monotone voice in the appearance of a human "How'a bout I ask you first?" I say back to the no named young man in a black robe "So be it." I squint at him curious what he's going to say "I'm a forgotten shapeshifter named, Renald." he takes off his hood changing his shape to look and sound exactly like me minus the robe he still has on "Woah!" He caught me by surprise with his change in shape I take few steps closer intrigued about Renald "Are you perhaps.. Razomi?" I stop confused about his knowledge of me. "How do you know my name!?" I shout at him with confusion baring over my head as he changes his form back to being himself "I learn as I travel." I run up to him grabbing his robe around his chest unfazed by my actions "Now if you don't mind I should be going, you will too." off in the distance I see thousands of humans armed with iron and steel heading in my direction I let go of Renald walking away as if nothing is going on I stare at the mass in shock "Razomi!" a hand from behind shakes me to my senses I turn around noticing my dad "We need to get out of here, you hear me Razomi?" I don't say any words I head straight back to Trenish to check as well inform mom and Taruno of what's going on. I barge in my own house "We need to go!" I say panting heavily "What's wrong?" my mom concerned about the way I'm reacting "An army, is coming to attack, there's too many for any of us to be able to handle!" my mom gasps "Where's dad..?" Taruno said scared of events to come "All he told me is that we need to go." I notice mom staring at the floor inside our home "You two go." Both me an Taruno look at mom "But-!" mom interrupts me "I can't let my home be given up so easily. I apologize.. now! Go!" I see tears streaking over her eye's as she looks at us my eye's start to get watery "Okay, mom." lift Taruno over my shoulder "Moooom!" Taruno reaches for mom while I rush out the door "I'm sorry...! Taruno..." I utter to myself hoping he'd might hear me. suddenly everything gets bright..

I keep poking Razomi until her eye's opened then all I felt was a great pain dealt to my cheek I shout in pain of what I feel at this very moment "W-what are you poking me for!?" looks at me in disgust "Why you smack me as hard as you did!?" I say back as we both growl at one another then Darai interrupts "You two, stop it." Razomi gets off the bed she slept on and looks at Darai like I do. "Someone came to say hello." I notice the foxarian standing next to Darai a bit shorter than Razomi as well baring a similar resemblance "Taruno?" Razomi walks up to him and hugs him "Where were you sister? I looked for you all night.." he rubs his eye's I stare at the two siblings "You two are scarred like me and Darai.." Razomi glances over at me and nods.
