Musa POV

"Hurry up girls or we will be late!" Sky exclaims. The girls and I board the ship. Sadly Riven is not here with us nor is Helia. They are already at the palace and getting ready for today, it's a big day for Riven.

"Hey! it takes time to be this beautiful!" Stella points at Sky and he raises his hands in surrender. "Oh come on Stella give him a break." Bloom chuckled. "Can you believe this whole time Riven was a royal," Timmy says as he is distracted with getting the route for Melody.

"I can't believe it either. Now I see where he would go to disappear. No one knew where he would hide but now we can chase him down." I place my purse next to me and start to buckle up for the trip.

Riven POV

"You ready?" Helia says from my bed, I am standing in front of my large mirror. I observe my blue uniform. I walk towards the balcony of my room. "I guess I am." I stare out to the forest where I would run with Neveah. Those times I didn't care for a thing, now I have the whole universe depending on me.

"What is troubling you?" Helia walks up next to me and adjusts his tie. "I always thought Nabu would be here for this moment... I know he died many years ago but I always had that one piece of burning hope that he would return from his sleep." I continue my focus on the trees. "I understand but you must know you are never alone. This may sound cliche but you know deep down you have Sky and me, heck all of us. We trust you with our lives the same way you do to us." Helia comforts.

"You really want to know how I came to this life?" I change the subject. Helia nods.

"After Lucas and Cecilia found me.."

After some time with Lucas and Cecilia, "Dear, you know we can't feed another mouth..." Lucas held his wife. "I know exactly who can watch for this boy. He has a bright future ahead of him." Riven hears the couple from his room. Walls are paper thin and light so anyone can hear. Riven didn't want to be given away and started to cry and held on tightly to his brown teddy bear.

"You will not leave him in the orphanage, it must be a well off family." Cecilia cried.

Riven wondered why his mommy left him, did she pass off? Or did she not want Riven any longer? The five-year-old was experiencing emotions no child should ever encounter.

The following morning Lukas opened the door to the small child's' room. "Son it's time you find where you truly belong." Lukas got on eye level to Riven and placed his hand on his shoulder. "We are sending you to a better home, happy and loving. We will still consider you as our own son." Lukas comforted. Riven hugged the man tightly. Lukas carried Riven to his new home. The Palace of Melody.

"Go through the back, the King and Queen are awaiting you in the garden." The Palace guard says as he gestures to the path that leads to the back. Riven held on tightly to Lukas, the beautiful palace startled the boy who has only ever seen small rooms and small buildings.
