In the land of feuding warlord , on a rare silent night, a bright light with a streaming tail of fire

fell from the night sky and crashed into the earth near a sleeping, little village. Only one person,

an old woman, from the village saw the fire descend from the sky and became curious of what

the light could be. The woman left the village and ventured out into the plains to investigate.

She reached where the light landed and found a peculiar object nestled in the charred dirt. A

golden disk , the size of a shield, had seven strange symbols inscribed into its gleaming metal.

When the woman touched the strange disk recklessly, a golden light exploded from the disk's

round middle. The woman quickly backed as the disk rose from the air to level with the woman's

frightened eyes, making metallic sounds that almost sounded like singing. It then started to spin

while its golden light brightened blindly.

Suddenly, seven sparks of light shot from the disk and flew in different directions across the

plains. The woman was beginning to panic when the disk started to form into a different but

familiar shape.

A human shape.

The disk , now human, slowly descended to the ground and its light dimmed to reveal a little

girl sleeping soundly. The woman thought the girl was at least five years old judging from her

small body and round cheeks . The child had long, dark golden hair like the disk and it glowed

when seen at different angles.

The old woman realized the girl was naked on the freezing ground in the middle of the night.

Feeling disgraced for her carelessness, she quickly carried the light child back into the village to

her orphanage and wrapped the girl with warm blankets.

In the morning, the child awoke and the old woman named Taka tried asking the girl questions

with a kind, patient voice. The girl seemed to understand Taka's questions and tried to speak

herself. But when the girl opened her mouth to answer, Taka couldn't hear the child's voice at

all. When the girl realized nothing was coming out of her mouth, she touched her throat with a

confused expression.

Taka came to a conclusion that the child couldn't speak. Saddened by the fact, she wondered

how this came to be. Was her voice stolen by demons? Or is she just born this way?

Whatever the case, Taka knew the girl was from the stars and decided to call her Sora, which

meant "sky".

Taka pondered what the Gods have sent her.
