*10 years ago...*

A 5 year old female duck, is on her bed, whilst her mom is singing a lullaby to her unhatched siblings. She listened carefully, singing the lyrics in her mind.

Once her mom sang the last notes, she got up and tuck her eldest daughter into bed.

"Goodnight my shooting star, sleep tight" the mother duck said sweetly to her duckling.

"Goodnight mom." The duckling said, not knowing that it would be the last time she saw her...

The Mother Duck quietly closed the door, and ran quietly down the hallway of their home...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

*The next morning...*

The young duck woke up the next morning, hearing shouts from both her uncle's.

She got up and looked at her unhatched siblings. She put a finger over her mouth and made a "sshh" sound to be quiet. She opened the door of their room.

She quietly ran down the hallway at full speed, and found her uncle's in a room, shouting and yelling at each other with full anger.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU LOST HER?!?" "I DON'T KNOW!!! I LOST ALL CONNECTION WITH HER!!!" "WHY WAS SHE EVEN IN THAT SPACESHIP IN THE FIRST PLACE?!?" "I MADE IT FOR HER!!!" "YOU WHAT?!?"

The duckling couldn't understand what she was hearing, is something wrong with her mom?!? Just last night she tucked her in, she sang her lullaby to her siblings. She wouldn't have left them, right?

Her uncles continued yelling,

"WHY WOULD YOU THAT?!?" "I DID HER A FAVOR! SHE FOUND OUT ON HER OWN AND TOOK IT!" "WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO?!?" "I'M TRYING, BUT I CAN'T!!!"

Tears started to form in the ducklings eyes, she doesn't know where her mom is and neither do her uncles, she doesn't know what else to feel but fear.

"THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!!!" "MY FAULT?!? SHE TOOK IT WITHOUT ANYONE KNOWING!!!" "OF COURSE SHE WOULD! SHE'S DELLA FOR HEAVENS SAKE!!!" "I should've been more careful..."

She couldn't bear anymore screaming, her head started hurting, many emotions coursing throughout her body...
A faint dark purple essence started to glow on her chest.

"NOW WHAT DO WE TELL (Y/N)?!? THAT HER MOM JUST LEFT ON A SPACESHIP AND DISAPPEARED?!? WHAT ABOUT THE BOYS?!?" "I DON'T KNOW, FIGURE IT OUT!!! THEY SHOULD UNDERSTAND! IM ALSO TRYING TO HELP!"

"CRAZY OLD MAN!!! THE ONLY THING YOU CARE ABOUT IS ADVENTURE!!!" "NO I DON'T!!! AT LEAST I AM TRYING TO FIND HER!!! THE ONLY THING YOUR DOING IS SHOUTING AND COMPLAINING!!!" "AT LEAST I DIDN'T BUILT THE CAUSE FOR ALL OF THIS!!!"

The shouting went on for a many, MANY, long hours, whilst the duckling listened to it all, the dark essence growing and consuming the duckling, her hopeful child eyes went dull, her soft feathers turned pale, the dark purple Goetic looking essence finally resided in her chest.

"THATS IT! IM TAKING THE KIDS! I DON'T WANT THEM TO HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH YOU!!!" "FINE BY ME!!!"
"I HOPE Y-"

They suddenly stopped yelling, seeing the duckling standing there emotionesly between the door frame. Her tears now dry, her eyes stared at her uncle's.

And suddenly,

She collapsed.

"(Y/N)!!!(Y/N)???(Y/N) CAN YOU HEAR ME?!? PLEASE ANSWER ME!!!" "AYE! LAS!!! PLEASE WAKE UP!!!"

She drifted into darkness...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

*A week later...*

The duckling finished packing her last bag. She looked around the room one last time.

She opened the door and walked out. Her uncle already waiting for her with her siblings.

She didn't say her goodbyes... Because she couldn't....

She glanced at her Great Uncle, and went inside his office. He was tired, sleeping with bags under his eyes. He spent many nights searching, but unsuccessful...

She said nothing, and walked away, unknowingly dropping an item...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The great uncle woke up, and knew instantly that he was alone... With no family left...

He sighed heavily, not caring. He's been alone before, he doesn't need anyone, he should be used to it.

He wasn't...

His eyes perked up, noticing something shining on the ground.

It was his niece's necklace, with a beautiful gem he had found on one of his adventures.

He picked it up, and held it above his chest, and then,

He cried...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
