"Once upon a time, in a faraway land, where the sun would shine once and the moon twice on the sky, was a mansion, covered by the mountains' big trees. Said mansion couldn't be seen with the naked eye, only on full moons, when the moon shined the brightest was it visible. In this mansion lived a happy family, consisting of evryes (bright creatures) of all kinds. In this small but happy family, lived a woman called Pheobe. Pheobe, along with her whole kind had to be forced to wear a masquerade mask, to...according to the host of their family, "hide their past identity" which didn't seem to bother Pheobe, nor the rest of the evryes."

"But Mama!! That's you!"
"Haha, I know sweetheart. But let me finish the story."

"She was a confident and proud woman, with dreams to accomplish...but she was lacking one simple thing, the feeling of affection. Of course, she craved adventure, she wished she could run free on the snowy hills seen from the mansion's windows, but going outside was just not an option for her kind. One day, however, she met a man named Lunatiél.-"

"But that's Papa!"
"I know, I know. But, maybe let's pretend he isn't that Lunatiél we both know."

"This charming and handsome young man had caught Pheobe's attention completely, but so has Pheobe caught Lunatiél's attention. They have fallen deeply in love, planning out all their future life goals together. Pheobe learned that Lunatiél also had dreams of exploring the world, and they swore to each other that one day, they'll explore the outside world together. Some time into their relationship, they started taking off their masks, just to see each other's faces. And as they took off the masks, they felt as if...they were different people, and they were happy that way. One day, Pheobe realized she was expecting! Oh, how cheerful the couple became. But one thing was in the way...Getting out of the mansion. The couple begged the host to let them roam free, and after months of begging, the host has had enough."

"Fine!" The host exclaimed. "I shall let you roam free, but only on one condition. When your firstborn child turns the age of 10, I shall whisk her away to live with me in the mansion, and you shall not have permission to ever see her again."

"Naively, the couple hesitantly agreed, thinking they would be able to escape the demon's grasp. And well...let's just say they did, for now at least hah. The host gave them a house to live in, a beautiful cottage with 2 stories and a quiet river running right next to it. The couple lived happily there, well at least for 8 months. When Pheobe was 9 months pregnant, the war had broken out. Demons were rapidly spreading throughout the empire, which didn't seem like a big threat for the place they lived in, but as soon as they got the news of their area being raided, they were forced to leave."

"And what happened to the baby?"
"No worries, as the baby, along with Pheobe and Lunatiél got to a safe place called...the safe haven. Here they were greeted with gifts and shelter, along with hundreds of other evryes who were, unfortunately...in a much worse state. Under the night sky, covered by the safe haven's leafy roof, Lunatiél and Pheobe hugged each other, telling each other that it's going to work out just fine. And hey! At least that demon won't get a grasp of their daughter anymore! And then...on October 19th, Pheobe went into labor. Waking up every citizen of the safe haven. After almost 2 painstakingly long hours, their little girl was born who we know as...Fayette."

"Haha! Mama that's me!!"
"That's right. Oh how loudly you entered this world. Screaming and crying for mama! Hehe...You stopped crying as soon as you got placed in my arms. This is why they call you a miracle Fayette. You brought hope to this safe haven, hope that one day, we'll be able to help our kind and rise again."

Pheobe cupped Fayette's small toddler face into her hands and smiled. She kissed her cheek and looked deeply into her eyes.
"Remember this Fayette. No matter what will happen, No matter what you will think of yourself and no matter where you will be or what you will do...you will always be our little miracle."
"Hehe!! I love you, mama!"
"I love you too baby..."
