The Detective of Presthorpe

The Adoption

Once Upon a time, there lived 3 clans. The BloodThirsty Phoenix, The Majestic BlueBird, and the most Rare of them all... The Fragile Crane.

They fought side-by-side and helped each other, in times of need. Until...

One Day, the Bloodthirsty Phoenix and The Majestic Bluebird started arguing and both declared war. The Fragile Crane, the only one who knew the cause of the argument besides the Great Rulers, was torn between the two sides.

" You shall be allies with me!"

Now, the Fragile Crane knew not what to do and cried Days and Nights in Despair. Not knowing what to do, She then Disappeared, no one to know where she went. Finally realizing the disappearance of the Fragile Crane, the Two Great Rulers sought out to find her.

Sadly, they didn't. The only place she was last seen was where the Humans fared. Both Rulers angered, descended to Heaven, Still looking for their missing Ally.

" Is that why the war is still going on?" Adele asked, interrupting her Father's story-telling of History. She usually listened a lot to her father's storytelling many times because she thought it was mysterious that there were never reasons, just secrets. He nodded, not saying anything.

" I have a few questions to ask and this will be the last of my interruptions." She said, curiously. " What was the cause of the Argument?"

" Was it so brutal and offensive that they both declared war? And why does the Fragile Crane only know?" She said, clearly annoying the audience. " Why was it kept a secret? It must have been depressing for the Fragile Crane to only stay with either of The Great Rulers."

" *Sigh* Will YOU shut up, Adele?! WE WANT TO LISTEN TO THE STORY!" Maybelle, a Knight working at the Imperial Palace, finally exclaimed. The Audience sighed in relief because Adele would stop asking questions.

" Okay, Okay, i'll go." She went inside the small village cottage. Brushing the door open, that poofed with dust, and she lie down on her Haystack filled bed. Life was hard but she didn't mind. Her room had no ceiling and she felt good because she often gazed up at the stars, that twinkled and danced in the sky.

Bonfire History story-telling was upsetting for her. She was normally shooed away because of her nonsensical questions. Maybe they were too-good questions that couldn't be answered because of Secrets.

Adele hated secrets, her whole life was so full of secrets itself. For example, Adele longed to know about her mother. Like who her mother was, and where she is, what happened to her, was she still alive, did she love her, did she leave her, did she mean for a poor life for her family, was she kind, what was she like?

That was what made Adele so Chalant, curious about things, full of wonder. Not gullible, not hard to trick. One Day, Adele would like to be a Detective. She solved many problems and mysteries in the Capital. And if she were one, She could reveal the secrets of the world.

No More! Troublesome, enough as they seem is what she always thought. But so often, she thought, maybe being as full of wonder, curiosity blooming, and not gullible was unsuited for someone like her. It wouldn't be so proper to dream so big with little money. But still, she planned to aim high and catch that shooting star to make her wish come true. Because she knew a dream won't just come true with just wishing, you need to do something, not just sit around.

" I will make my dream come true, and there is nothing stopping." She murmured smiling sadly, because she knew sometimes aiming high was not so good.
