Chapter 1: What Happened?
Dawn of a New Day. The evil moon has vanished and the townsfolk enjoy their new day with bright sunshine and cool winds breezing by. It is as if the sky has a new happiness now that the wretched moon is gone. The Carnival of Time is celebrated by many from near and far, old and young, short and tall, and large and small. It is a fantastic day as everyone celebrates the Carnival of Time and eats and drinks away to their fullest now that the evil moon has departed.
Near a ranch not too far from Clock Town are Cremia and her sister Romani. "Romani had a wonderful day," Romani says to her elder sister Cremia.
"I had a wonderful day too. It's too bad we live away from Town," Cremia replies.
"We should have stayed for the night!" Romani whines.
"Well, we have work to do tomorrow. How would we get up in time if we stayed up all night?" Cremia answers her young sister.
"It's always the same with you. Work! Work! Work!" "Hmpphhh!" she sighs out a deep breath.
"Yep, that's me. I have a busy schedule. It's work, work, work. Now you better go to sleep if you want to wake up in time," Cremia finishes.
"Yes sis" Romani replies as she heads up stairs to go to sleep.
Now that Romani has gone off to sleep, only Cremia is left inside the living room thinking to herself. The fireplace lights up their lonely home and warmth flows from it. Sitting on her wooden chair near the wooden table, Cremia looks close to the fire and then sighs. She thinks back to the moment she had with Kafei. Thinking of Kafei, she remembers that Anju's wedding is two days after the Carnival of Time. It was supposed to be the day after the carnival but due to the massive celebration, it would be better to have the wedding on the day after the day after the Carnival of Time.
Drowning herself in Chateau Romani Milk and thinking about the approaching wedding, Cremia remembers the time she had with Kafei before he chose Anju. The three of them are close friends with one and another. Cremia remembers meeting Kafei and Anju during her father's funeral. After the funeral, Kafei often visited her and Romani at the ranch and helped her out with the chores. Running a farm is not an easy task for a young woman who also has to look after her younger sister. Every time Kafei visited, Cremia felt complete. She had always wanted a man, her knight in silver, to rescue her from her loneliness and fill the deep void within her heart. Kafei seems to be the one, her knight in silver.
As time passed on, Kafei did not visit as often as he did. Her heart broke when Kafei and Anju's wedding was announced one year prior to the Carnival of Time. She became depressed but slowly fought her way out of her depression. Romani has grown up and Cremia now has more time to attend to the farm. Life seems to be going smoothly as the Carnival of Time approaches. Then one week before the Carnival of Time, an evil moon appears above the sky and to make matters worse, the entrance to Milk Road is blocked with a giant boulder.
A miracle happens and a fairy boy shows up at the ranch. It seems that Cremia can deliver milk again to the Milk Bar. Two days before the Carnival of Time, Cremia drives her wagon to deliver milk to town only to find it sealed and she has to take a detour. The fairy boy helped her by thwarting off the milk pursuers and milk is delivered successfully to the Milk Bar. Cremia thanked the boy by giving him Romani's Mask and a big warm hug. If only the boy was older, he could have been the person to fill the void in her heart.
As the Carnival of Time approaches, the moon grew bigger. Anju's mother and grandmother took refuge on the day before the Carnival of Time while Anju waited behind believing Kafei will come for her. Cremia knew that not even the ranch is safe from the moon. As the night slowly crept in, the moon growing ever bigger in the purple night sky, and the bright beam radiating from Clock Tower, Cremia asked Romani to sleep with her that night. She acknowledged Romani as an adult and allowed Romani to drink the Cheatu Romani Milk. The reason she did this is because she knew that the world is coming to an end and she wanted all of them to die peacefully into the quiet night.
"I'll see you again, father and mother," Cremia whispered to herself as she tucked Romani to bed. Romani was the first one to fall asleep. She kissed Romani one last time on her forehead and sleeps away wishing that she too would see her knight in silver.
Cremia was the first one to wake up in her house. Looking outside the window, she saw the Four Giants stopping the moon from crashing. She rushed out of the house to see the epic struggle to save Termina from its destruction. As the sun came up and morning rolled in, the moon stopped. Then it remained stationary until 8 AM. Suddenly, the moon was engulfed in a rainbow stream and vanished. Her heart jumped with joy now that the moon was finally gone. She was still alive and so was everyone. As everyone in the house woke up to see the moon gone, their hearts also jumped with joy.
Cremia drove them all back to Clock Town only to find a massive, happy, and fun celebration. There were many types of food and drinks. Not only were the food delicious but the activities were also fun and exciting. Cremia and Romani enjoyed the carnival to the fullest and then retired back to the ranch at 6 PM. And this is how everything has happened so far.
