Aigratha... A kingdom of peace... The place where i was born, Destroyed ...

Artemis remembered what the big white lion said...

"You will become a warrior of a kingdom that has fallen and lost, but wil be found and risen as the strongest kingdom of all..."

That fallen kingdom... Does he mean Aigratha? Some people said its destroyed... But im not sure... Aigratha is a strong kingdom... At least that what daddy used to say...

Artemis can't sleep... Her mind is full of her kingdom and her parents. Its already the middle of the night. She walks to the window and stare at the moon.

Mom said my name taken from a Greek Goddess, Artemis. Artemis is a goddess of the moon and hunt. And Apollo is Artemis' twin brother which is a God of the sun and healing.

As she stare at the moon, she remembers what happen that morning...

That morning, Artemis and Apollo arrived at the neighborhood kingdom, Camodour kingdom. The folks speaks french there. Aigratha is also a kingdom that use french to communicate.

They thinks, they don't have a people that recognize them, then where they should stay? If they stay at the inn, their money will run out just to stay there.

"Uh... How about the orphanage? Its free though. We dont have to pay anything" said Apollo.

"But we are not orphans!! We still have mom and dad!" Artemis disagree  with her brother.

"But, Artemis, then where do want to stay? We dont have a house! Our money from mom is not enough to buy a house!! And not enough to stay at the inn just for one day! We don't have another choice..."

"But... We are not orphans... Are we?"
"Of course not... Mom and dad will come here just for us. They won't leave us here alone"
"Okay... "
"I heard people said that St. Louise Orphanage is run by the Church. Maybe we can go there"

When they arrived at the orphanage. They are welcomed as a family there.
They tell that they lost their parents at the war of Aigratha. Thank God, the king of Camodour, Peter is still related to Aigratha's king... King Edmund.

After remembering what happen that morning... Artemis Pray... Hoping... That her parents... Are going to be okay...

And then Artemis walked to her bed and fall asleep.






Meanwhile... At Aigratha...
Its no longer a kingdom as it looks.

But...

"We, will find you... Our children..."
