"A long time ago, in a galaxy far far away...."

In the planet of Glee Anselm, lived a Nautolan miner family. They belonged to the lowest rung of the society, and spent their lives by mining ipsium under the planet's surface. In the village, everyone loved the family, and one night there was a cry of a baby that could be heard from the hut in which they lived. The nautolans had been blessed with a child.

"Look... it's a girl." Said the mother to her husband who was very happy to see their baby. The little girl cooed and giggled softly as she curled up in her mother's arms, lightly sucking on her thumb. The villagers had gathered around their hut to see this new born child.

"She looks just like you, Zana." One of the older women said to her mother. Her mother Zana, was very happy with her baby. Soon, they decided a day on which she would be named. It was a ritual of the nautolans to baptise their newborn children and give a name. Much like a naming ceremony.

The day came, and all the villagers gathered at the temple of a Nautolan deity, where the ceremony was to take place. The village headwoman called for the mother and father of the new born baby, as they carried the little girl to the woman.

She drew some marks over the girl's tiny tendrils, putting on small rings over the nautolan's tendrils. "What shall be her name?" She asked Zana, the baby's mother.

Zana had already thought of one, and she said it to the woman who then lifted the baby up in her arms, raising her high above so that everyone could see.

"Her name will be Zerranah Varsin, daughter of Zana Varsin and Paru Varsin." The older woman announced, then returned Zerranah to her parents.

Their days went in harmony, as little Zerranah grew up along with other children of the village, watching her parents work hard and the unity of the villagers when there was any threats.

[Now you might be wondering why Zerranah's surname is Stozlag? That's a story for another Episode.]
