KiaSal Drabble 31: 'Forgotten Memories 1.6' Susannah Manatt The Girl

On August 23rd 2000 CE, in the deep recesses of the Zagros mountain, an infant was born into the Manatt family. She was the first born daughter of Farid and Zofia Manatt. 

That day both parents despite the exhaustion of childbirth conducted a huge celebration in Zagras Town. And thanks to their daughter being born on 23rd August the summer solstice, it was also a day when the fabled town of Zagras celebrated the harvest festival. 

It is said the father; Farid was so overjoyed by the birth of his daughter that he gave unlimited booze and food to everyone. As the Mayor of the town, he felt he had the responsibility to make everyone feel the joy he himself was drowning in. 

"Sir Farid!" The farmer with brown hair called for him in joy and a fit of drunkenness. "Have you named the princess yet!"

"Ramin my old friend!" Farid jumped from the town square's stage in an equal fit of drunkenness and hugged him. "Praise the Great Lords I have!"

"Then tell us!" Echo of voices flurried through the packed streets of Zagras. "Tell us! Tell us!"

"Are you all that eager to know!" Farid raised his arms in excitement. 

"Yes!" The crowd's voice was so loud, Farid wondered if the entire world could hear them. "Yes!"

"Tell us her name Sir Farid" Ramin said again, this time with a joyous laughter. 

"Born on the summer solstice, sitting in the middle of two seasons. Blessed by the Gods of harvest and purity. What could her name be?" He asked in a riddle. 

"Oh Lord Farid," An old man in his early fifties chugged down a bottle of vodka and danced. "Why do you speak to us in riddles? All we want to know is the name of our princess?"

"Oh wise one Kaveh," Farid smiled at his advisor. "Bless your intellect, no Honkai can ever beat your strategies, but why is it that you can't solve this mystery?"

"Look at you acting the fool." Kaveh grunted, as he massaged his grey beard. "For this is a great night, I shall, let on in your elation. So let me take a guess."

"Do it! Do it! The Wise One!" The crowd's excitement was now on a different level. And Farid couldn't have it any other way. This was the best way he could welcome his daughter into this world. 

"I take your word my wise advisor" Farid rejoiced, as he chugged down another peg. "Go for it."

"As pure as the lily in the valleys around us, the princess born under the golden sun, her eyes a shade of amber like none other. She must have the name unlike any other." He said in a sing a song voice.

"What is the name? O'h wise one." Farid smiled, Kaveh had figured it out. 

"Pristine Sousan."

"Ooh." The crowd's eyes twinkled with delight. "Is that true? Is that true?"
