Oceans' Edge

My name is Marigold S.S Aerian currently the only legitimate Daughter of the King, ruler of the Aer Kingdom. I have four older brothers. We All received titles and duties early in life based on our talents, one title I am most proud of is 'Master Inventor', because of my contributions to the development of the Kingdom's 'Magic Tech' which has greatly helped improve the lives of many subjects in Aer. Everyone says I am gifted with great wisdom of our ancestors which is true but not on the way people think. Actually I can remember a past life. It's not my past life, if I ever had one, but that of my great-great-grandaunt she was the eldest daughter of the Nobel Fire Phoenix clan, the only known descendants of the First King of Aer Kingdom. My great-great-grandaunt Marie-Grace-Ann Rosalind Fotiá was an Inventor and had a love for creating things that no one has ever thought of, she was both praised and scorned for it and I want to be just like her spearheading the new Technologies that will ensure my Kingdom has a prosperous future ahead. If my eldest brother becomes the next King that future will become a reality, but being part of this Royal family succession won't come that easy.

The Royal Crown has fallen 3 times in this Kingdom's history, the first time it happened was during the Fifth King's rule it was a betrayal both he and his Kingdom never saw coming, soon after chaos ensued marking the being of a War that never officially ended. It also marked the last time a Fire Phoenix ever sat on the throne until now...

Hay,.... here, I have lived in the ocean my entire life almost 100 years, which is very long compared to the current expected life span of my species 50 years. At present we are dying faster than we are being born, and if this continues my colony which holds the second largest tribe of the eight oceans will cease to exist.
