Nagisa – I just need to stop watching new anime. Maybe, just maybe, it'll stop me from writing a new story or story idea down every other hour.
Don't even know why I'm writing this now of all times. I mean, I'm in the middle of my GCSEs for godsakes! I must be nuts. That must be it.
I haven't even finished watching Macross Delta yet but my mind has already put together another story idea despite the fact that I still need to update my other stories...
Oh well. On with the story!

Chapter 0 – The Birth of a New Star
Soft cries cut through the eerie silence of a hospital. Outside of a private room sat the current King of Windermere, Gramia Nerich Windermere.
The tall, blonde man couldn't stop pacing back and forth as he awaited any news regarding the birth of his first child.
The quiet silence that had fallen over the hospital was only occasionally broken by a gain murmur originating from within the room holding the objects of his worry.
Finally planting himself in a seat, he didn't have to wait much longer before the door barring him from his wife opened.
Standing immediately, his eyes bore into the doctor as he was in their face suddenly. The doctor sweat dropped at his King's expression before chuckling.
"You can go in now, Gramia-sama" Was all he got out before Windermere's reigning King sprinted past him.
He heard the same soft crying from before and quickly locked eyes with his wife who was holding a bundle close to her chest.
Queen Miho Nerich Windermere giggled at the sight of her husband's disheveled appearance.
As soon as he reached her bedside, a pair of bright blue eyes caught his eyes attention. Their first born stared at him wide eyed and went silent for a moment.
Gramia froze as soon as he locked eyes with his child and began to sweat slightly as he waited for some sort of reaction.
A minute later, the girl reached a tiny arm in the air and began giggling happily.
The king couldn't stop the smile that split across his face. Moving forward, he squeezed Miho in a tight hug and turned himself so he could look at, what he realised now was his daughter.
Now that made things interesting. Windermere will have its first female ruler in over 200 years.
A shift in the blankets that she resided in revealed something shocking.
Gramia blinked once. Twice. Even rubbed his eyes but it stayed.
The odd runes attached to two of the tuffs of blonde, black streaked hair on her head. Female Windermerean's have always had heart shaped runes while the males had runes shaped like a spear or a curved diamond.
This child's, however, were shaped like small five pointed stars.
The child proved to be odd in more than a few ways now apparently. Her hair, her rune... Heck one could even say her gender since it wasn't common for females to be born in his family.
Laughing softly, he shook his head to rid himself of how much of an oddball she was and turned to his wife who was gazing lovingly at their little princess.
"So, any names in mind for the little one?" Their personal doctor asked suddenly, breaking through the peaceful silence that had settled over the room.
Nothing came to mind for Gramia no matter how hard he wracked his brain. Miho's voice ground his thoughts to a halt quickly though.
"...Freyja. Freyja Nerich Windermere. That will be her name." She said softly and after a moment to think, Gramia smiled.
"A beautiful name for a beautiful child. Good choice, my dear."
The doctor nodded with a smile as he recorded the name. He then left the room to give the family some privacy.
The couple gazed at their little Freyja lovingly but couldn't help but wonder about her runes. They weren't sure if it was something that they should be worried about or not.
Gramia couldn't get rid of the grating feeling that he'd seen that type of rune somewhere before but he couldn't quite remember where.
Only time will tell of what the future holds for Princess Freyja Nerich Windermere.
