Chapter one: Losses
Hello, my name is Serenity Hitomi Kanzaki. I am the princess and future queen of Anatopia. But I'm not you ordinary princess, let alone am I the princess of your ordinary country. You see Anatopia is a safe haven for creatures that are feared or misunderstood by the rest of Geaia. There are griphons, unicorns, catpeople, dogpeople, dragons, and any other creature you could imagine. The only way to get in is if either your heart wishes to come in so deep that the spirit of the land hears it and allows your entry or if you are a guest of the royal family.
As I said before I'm not your ordinary princess, I'm Anatopia's commanding general, the king's top adviser, and a morpher, a human with the ability to change to whatever creature they wish to be. There is one last thing you may want to know about me, I am the last of the descendents of the Atlantians so I hold the awesome power of Atlantis, yet no one knows of this but not even my father.

And our story begins ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~A young girl of 5 runs up to her mother, "Mother could we go and explore the rest of the forest?" she asks.
"Very well," her mother replies, "but you can't run off like last time Hitomi."
The girls rare emerald eyes light with excitement as she grabs her mother's hand and pulls her deep into the forest and unknowingly into the hands of an enemy.
"Mom! Look at this it's a baby wolf." Hitomi yells pushing her sandy blonde hair out of her face. She gentle pets the wolf making sure not to scare it. "Its fur is so soft," she whispers.
"Hitomi! Don't touch it, its mother might be around and heaven knows what she'll do when she sees you with her cub," Queen Serenity shouted. All of a sudden a howl was heard through the forest. "Oh no Hitomi let's go, hurry!"
" I don't think so," a mysterious shadow whispered. An arrow came out of nowhere and pierced through the queen's heart killing her right away.
"NO MOTHER," screamed Hitomi, running to her mother's bleeding body, "no you can't die please mother, NOOOOOOOOOOOO!" she sobbed. Hitomi turned her furious eyes to the stranger. "Why, why did you do it, why."
"You're next," was the stranger's reply before a flash of fur came ripping through the air cutting the stranger's neck leaving it to bleed freely. Then the wolf fell to the ground, an arrow jutting out of her chest. "No," screamed the stranger before falling limp to the blood drenched ground.
All that was heard through the forest was Hitomi and the cub's cries for their lost mothers.
"Princess Hitomi?! Queen Serenity?! What happened, where are you? What was that screaming?" came the voices of the royal soldiers, cutting through the depressing silence.
"O Over here," whimpered Hitomi, still crying for her mother.
"Princess! What happened," gasped the soldiers in disbelief, for there lay their beloved queen, blood seeping out of her chest onto the forest ground. Beside her lay the stranger's limp body, and not far from it was the wolf's dead body as well.
"He he killed her, the wolf, it it tried to save us, but he killed her, they're all dead," was all she could utter before going into a dead faint.
