I have no memories from before that faithful day. No memories of my real father. Or my real mother. I remember only the family who adopted me. The mother who took me in....

Young Aki: "Look, mother a crashed airplane from the lands below us."

Queen Araai: "Careful Aki. Remains of crashed planes can be dangerous."

Young Aki: "You worry too much, mother. And are clearly trying to change the subject."

Queen Araai: "Daughter, the spirit of Hatsumi is not a subject I wish to discuss. It was a spirit of chaos. She threatened not only the land dwellers, but our people too."

Young Aki: "Why do you care about the land dwellers? They are clearly inferior to us."

Queen Araai: "Inferior? All living creatures have a place in this world. You should spend more time appreciating the kingdom we currently have, than dreaming of long lost spirits."

Young Aki: "I'm only curious, nothing more. Tell me, Could her oyster prison be reopened?"

My sister was curious about certain things who weren't meant to be fiddled with. But that was her nature, I suppose. That moment was when the Queen, or rather, mother, saw a strange sight.

Queen Araai: "What's that?"

Queen Araai then went to take a look at the thing she desired to. She had an eye out at all time, what else can I say? I've known her only for a bit of my life after all.

Young Aki: "Changing the subject again, I see."

The Queen and princess went to investigate the mysterious object, riding on their royal eagles. They saw some birds gathered at one spot when they got to the source.

Queen Araai: "Those birds are attacking something."

Young Aki: "Whatever it is, it isn't our concern."

Queen Araai: "If someone is in danger, we must try to help, daughter."

She fearlessly took on all of the vultures, saving my life. To this day, it is the most heroic thing I have ever seen.

Queen Araai: "Who are you little one?  Are you all alone?"

This was the moment I met the one who would raise me. The one I would call mother.

Young Aki: "Ew. What is that thing? It looks weak."

Queen Araai: "An orphan I fear. Aki, meet the newest member of our family."

Young Aki: "Ugh. Your compassion really is never ending, isn't it, mother?" My sister then flew away with hear Eagle.

Queen Araai: "What is your name...Young one?"

"O-oana..." I replied.

Queen Araai: "Oana...that reminds me of the name Ora, meaning calm breeze. Your parents must've been Aerians."

Queen Araai was caring, attentive...she accepted me and treated me just like her own daughter. I also loved life at the big Palace, the fun part was when I used to fly at my sisters window and knock on it.

"Sister! Come with me! Come play!" I used to say.

Although, not everyone was so accepting.

"Please sister! Just for a bit?" I kept begging her

Young Aki: "I have no time for your childish games, Oana. Leave me."
