Prologue

"Are you sure that's her?"

A small harvest sprite starred down at a girl from the sky, skeptically. A turquoise-haired goddess floated next to him, and the two of them peered down at the young lady. The goddess nodded.

"Yes." She replied to the sprite, smiling a little. "That's her."

Now, just to clarify, the girl they were watching was nothing special. She was merely a typical young girl… or at least, that's what she appeared to be. She had short, brown, choppy-looking hair, which rested nicely above her shoulders. Her upper half was clad in what appeared to be a half-sleeved green t-shirt, on top of which was another, more miniature half-top. A brown belt rested on her hips, attaching a single brown pocket to the young maiden. It also appeared to hold up a short skirt… No, wait, a skort, as it was revealed to be when the girl turned around and her skirt lifted up, revealing what was below it.

"I'm off!" The sprite and goddess heard her call into the house behind her, giving a half-wave to another woman with her glove-covered hands. The other woman smiled, calling back after her.

"Have fun, Haruka!" She shouted, cupping her own hands around her mouth to accentuate the sound. The other woman, whose features resembled closely to the young girl's, lifted one of her arms to wave back at her.

Haruka smiled. "Thanks, mom!" She quickly called back, before poking the tip of one of her brown boots into the ground and pivoting around. She then proceeded to skip down the road, away from her home.

Watching the girl from above, the goddess reassured the confused sprite, putting a hand on his tiny back. He glanced at her, but her eyes stayed glued to the young girl, who had looked up at a random spot of the sky down below, perfectly unaware of the two who were watching her.

"That girl..." The goddess whispered, loud enough so only the sprite could hear, "…is important."

Haruka winced at the bright sun, then smiled her sweet smile.

"She's the one who will save us all."
