That's the story that everyone knows of, it's the story that I grew up, learning and hearing about. You see, a long time ago my great great grandmother was a princess that once came of age named Yona. I was told the story of how she defeated and conquered and restored her country; even if she is a reincarnation of a king named Hiryuu, who had red hair and purple eyes. What surprises me is that those traits haven't been seen, in our family, for a LONG time, well that was until I was born.
