      I couldn't believe it. How could my parents me so cruel? Didn't my mother love my grandfather? Does she even KNOW what my father just caused? He's a murder. If he loved me, then why would he traumatize me? Is this what my parents wanted? My grandfather DYING so I could become the next queen? Or that THEY could become King and Queen? Couldn't they have waited a bit longer? 

      I open my eyes and see that I'm in my room. "I must've cried myself to sleep last night...UNLESS-" I think to myself, but for some reason my brain told me that maybe it was just a nightmare...that felt real. I get up immediately to ask the guards if my grandfather is still alive. I bust the doors open and look around for the nearest guard. Of course, there's always going to be 2 guards outside my door to protect me. But today, one of them is whispering a conversation to a servant, and the other is talking to King Majari, from the lion kingdom next door.

      "King Majari?! What's he doing here?" I ask myself. I've met him before, several times. Whenever my grandfather is too busy doing something else or when my trainers can't train me because they have issues at home, King Majari would leave his kingdom to the hands of his husband(who knows how to control a Kingdom too), just to train me when no one else can. In fact, we're actually close friends.

      Majari sees and hears me bust the door open, and walks towards me without saying anything. I run to him and give him a big hug. He hugs me back and says;

"Oh you poor girl, you must be so traumatized! And now that your parents are gone too, you'll be forced to be the new ruler!"

"Wait wait wait.....so,..It wasn't just a nightmare?" I ask. He stops hugging me, put his hands on my shoulders and stares at me concerned. Then he look at the guard behind him, and says;

"We need a psychologist for her. NOW!" 

"What!? Why? I don't need a psychologist!" I exclaim. Majari looks back at me and says;

      "Sweetie, of course you need a psychologist! if we don't get you a psychologist, then you'll get anxious, stressed a lot, and possibly even depressed! And at such a young age! Listen kid, being a ruler of a kingdom isn't easy at all. You get stressed quite often, you can't really do any fun activities with your loved ones, and it's just that lots of doors close your in life!"

      I decided to just deal with it. A couple of days later, I got a psychologist. Their name was "Kioko". At first I didn't trust them, because they were someone I didn't know anything about, but eventually I started to trust them. They we're basically my 'human-stress reliever'. As the years passed, I started to get training lessons on how to control a kingdom and how to act/be a ruler. Meanwhile, Majari took control over our kingdom, and his husband took over theirs.  

***15 years later(Hiroshima is now the queen and she is also 28 years old. Hasetshut and Anami are 44 years old now)***

      Now that I'm a queen, I have new responsibilities. To this day, I still think about that night my parents left. I still wonder where they are now. A couple of hours after my grandfather died that night, Majari had been told about the news so he came to the Kingdom and took control. That night he also had a handful of guards search again for footprints of my parents since they didn't find them the first time.

      I've been planning to have Majari take over again for a few days, allowing me to go search for my parents myself. Today's the day. Today is the day I leave to search for them. I'm bringing a handful of guards and knights with me just in case. 

      I wave goodbye to Majari and a couple of other servants at the main entrance of the kingdom. It's early in the morning, so that's going to make it easier for us to see during our adventure. We hop on our horses, and head straight to the woods. At the woods, we head to the right side, since on the left side we would end up heading straight to a cliff. A couple of minutes later we find the same thing, a cliff. We go back and head straight forward. Again, a cliff. We decide we should just leave the horses and travel using our wings, feral forms, or walk.
