Summery: It all started four years after Chagum and Balsa's adventures together had ended. Chagum had a new baby sister, his family only a month after the birth of Chagum's sister his entire family (except for him and his sister) was assassinated. Now Chagum has no where to go and has no idea how in the heck to take care of the new born. Well leave it to Balsa to save the day and help him find some where safe to hide in the home of Balsa's friend that she had saved a good two years ago.

Chagum x Oc, Balsa x Tanda.

(Warning: This is a prologue! Tell me if I should write more of this story please!)

Darkness and smoke, not a good combination. Darkness, smoke and burning bodies, definitely not a good combination.

The palace was burning and so was everyone inside and some how Chagum's mother knew this would happen. And she entrusted the newly born life of his sister Azami. But how could a sixteen year old prince who was weak in combat skills protect such a fragile being? Chagum had not a single clue on how he'd do so all he knew was he would do what ever he could to protect the newly born being of only one month that he held in his arms. He ran from the burning palace, the guards that remained alive and unharmed had fought back the assassins and were searching for him through the flames. He reached the gates, they had been smashed open and so that made it easy for his escape with Azami sleeping in his arms. Chagum did not stop running until he had surprisingly found himself face to face with Balsa who had rushed from the town that resided not too far from the palace. Balsa stared at Chagum wide eyed, her breathing ragged and she pulled him into a gentle hug which Chagum was able to shift Azami into so she would not be squished between them...

That was how Chagum and Azami ended up where they were now. Traveling with Balsa, Tanda and Torogai to a safe place in the near by mountains that was not their usual hide out... Where he met her. The girl with the color of ice for eyes, Kazuno.

Name translations!

Azami: Word of the heart; thistle. (The first definition is what I picked for her names meaning)

Kazuno: Your peace. (In this case Kazuno will become Chagum's peace of mind in the dangerous events that will appear later on. That's why I chose the name Kazuno for her :D )
