Prologue

"Sleep, little pigeon,
And fold your wings,
Little blue pigeon
With velvet eyes;
Sleep to the singing
Of mother-bird swinging
Swinging the nest
Where her little one lies.

Away out yonder
I see a star,
Silvery star
With a tinkling song;
To the soft dew falling
I hear it calling
Calling and tinkling
The night along.

In through the window
A moonbeam comes,
Little gold moonbeam
With misty wings;
All silently creeping,
It asks; "Is he sleeping
Sleeping and dreaming
While mother sings?"...

But sleep, little pigeon,
And fold your wings,
Little blue pigeon
With mournful eyes;
Am I not singing? --
See, I am swinging --
Swinging the nest
Where my darling lies."

A voice like soft honey rang out across an empty room. Silence hung in the air after she was finished. A baby lay asleep in a young woman's arms. She was hunched over, her face buried in the baby's face softly. Tears fell from the woman's eyes, her ruby eyes were closed. Her pale skin matched her silvery hair, which clung to her back. She cuddled into the baby again, and then gently placed her in a crib, smiling sadly at the sleeping from.

"I'm so sorry…I love you my baby, my child…" She mumbled sadly, her crystal tears falling onto the bed.

She turned around, and hung her head, and rushed from the room.

"That's what happened, my love." A man said to a six-year-old girl.

"Really, daddy? Why did momma leave, huh?" The little girl asked cutely.

The man smiled dryly.

"Yes, my love…yes, she left…because…well, I shall tell you when you get older." He sighed.

The little girl smiled, and closed her eyes.

"She like anime, right? Like me?" She asked.

The man nodded.

"Then…I'll love it forever and ever, so momma will be with me! Okay?"

The man chuckled, his black raven hair shining.

"Okay, my love, okay."

The little girl giggled and jumped down from her father's lap. She ran off to the play ground and jumped onto the slide happily.

The man smiled as he watched his daughter.

"If only you knew, Alisa…if only you knew…" he mumbled.
