Prologue:
Just like any other Harvest Moon story, our 'hero' lives on farmland. Two parents, Miku and Lan Tsubaku, had just had a baby girl to make the Tsubaku family complete. Kiikii Tsubaku a wide- green eyed baby with brown locks made their lives better than it could be. They had many friends, animals, and "connections" on this wonderful island, Forgotten Island. Their farm thrived, yet, one day… that all had to change once the storm happened…
Chapter 1
What Happened to the Old Generation?
"We have to leave her in the Goddess's hands…"
"Are you sure there is nothing else we can do?"
Miku gently put her baby girl into a basket outside of the Harvest Goddess Temple on the top of Given Mountain. It was the end of winter and a fierce snow storm had just blown through. Everything was destroyed on their once beautiful farm, and many animals lost their lives. The only salvation that the family had was moving off island to Waffle Town to stay at the Inn. Unfortunately, since it was crammed with evacuees from the whole Forgotten Island, ever person who wanted to stay was charged. The Tsubaku Family didn't have enough for all three of them.
Lan tried to comfort his wife giving her a light pat on the back. Miku's tears rolled off her cheeks landing and freezing in the cold, snow covered ground.
"Don't you worry it's going to be ok Hun," he sniffed, "but we need to leave her here, we have nothing to give her, it will take years until we have a farm big enough to support her.."
Miku hugged her baby for the last time then kissed her forehead.
"Are you sure that there is no one we can give her to? Lan… she might die out here in the freezing cold."
Lan looked at Miku.
"Don't you worry. I am sure that the Harvest Goddess will answer our prayers and give her a new home."
"Do you think, some day… when our farm is big enough? We might be able to take her back."
Lan nodded.
Miku shrugged, "Well I guess we better get going… we have to get to the boat before we miss the one to Waffle Town."She had looked in her wallet to try to find extra money for her baby to come, but it seemed hopeless.
"Oh of course… we have to stay at the inn. I just wish we had enough money to take her with us..," Lan helped Miku up and they both prayed for the Harvest Goddess to take care of their child.
They both walked off to the pier with the little money they had to barley support themselves. It began to snow. Miku looked back, the basket had miraculously disappeared.
Chapter 2
Prayers are Answered
A beautiful woman with long hair and a flowing gown had whisked the baby off into the forest.
"Oh you poor thing… I heard what your mommy and daddy were saying… I think I can answer their prayers."
The Harvest Goddess played with the tiny baby then covered up the baby with parts of her dress and then flew to the top of the mountain.
"Yay! Goddess is home! She is home!"
Home for the goddess was on top of the mountain. In the winter everything was made of ice. Her throne, tables , chairs, and even the beds. Mysteriously, all the items were never effected by the temperature.
Five brightly colored Sprites had entered the room. They all gathered around the goddess's feet.
"Why do u have that basket Ma'm?" the blue Sprite had tugged on her dress.
"I rescued her Squirt… she is going to stay with us… but only for a little while… we have to find a home for her."
The Harvest Goddess placed the baby on a table. The Sprites all gathered around the baby and started to play with her.
"Goddess?" the red Sprite asked.
"Yes Ralphy?"
"Does it have a name?"
The Goddess looked over at the baby.
"No… well I know she does but I can't remember it…"
The Sprites looked all over the basket to find a name written on the baby's blue hat.
"Goddess, look!"
The Harvest Goddess took the hat out of the Squirt's hand and read it out loud.
"Her name is Kiikii Tsubaku."
"Ohh WOW! That is a cute name for a cute baby!" The yellow Sprite was playing with the baby's tiny fingers.
The Harvest Goddess giggled. She then took the hat and put it back on the baby's head and then walked over to a pedestal with a large book on it. She quickly flipped through the pages.
"So Sprites, this baby need a new home." The Goddess was still searching in the book.
"Aww Goddess why can't we keep her so is so cute," the Ralphy whined.
The Harvest Goddess looked over at Kiikii and thought for a while.
"I guess we could… but I can't be seen by her anymore. It would be terrible if she knew about me before she started her farm huh?"
The Harvest Goddess stroked the baby's hair, " … Sprites… you must take care of her."
"YAY!"
"Hold on, don't get too happy yet. We have to make sure the Harvest King doesn't hear ok? I would be turned into a statue again… and not just on accident…" The Goddess rolled her eyes and then disappeared.
