She took one last gaze.
Domino. Her once beautiful home was now in utter ruins. It'd been so sudden. One minute, she was playing a game with her father while her mother sat nearby, rocking her newly born sibling. The next, citizens were screaming and running in terror. The sky darkened, buildings began to collapse, and a haunting laughter filled the air. The people fought bravely to protect their home, but in the end, they'd been no match for cruel witches who were taking so much pleasure in destroying their kingdom.
Her parents. They fought with all they had, and so did she. But it eventually became clear they had a goal in mind: the dragon's flame. The most powerful magic to exist in the magical dimension. Domino had been the dragon's final resting place, a fact taught in history classes all over the dimension. As natives to the realm, Daphne's family possessed it in power, and it was her parents' responsibility to keep it safe.
However, her parents were wise. When they could see the battle was a losing one, her mother placed the baby into her arms. "Fly! Don't stay here! Fly as fast as you can!" She wanted to protest, to insist they could win, but she knew it was not the time for arguments. She hurried away, taking one last glance at her parents, who continued to fight for their kingdom. Her eyes filled with tears. "I love you," was all she could whisper before she flew away.
The battle between her parents and the witches slowed the witches down considerably, but eventually, they could fight no more. The end result was preservation in stone. The witches cackled over their victory. They had won. Finally, they'd get their hands on the most sacred power known to magic kind. Or so they thought.
Miraculously, the teenager escaped with her infant sibling without notice. The kingdom continued to fall as they searched every area of Domino for a trace of the sacred power. She knew they'd find nothing. That's because the power wasn't a physical entity. It wasn't something that could be placed on a pedestal. But she only had so much time. As she watched the final remainder of her kingdom crumble, tears poured down and she flew away. This time, she didn't dare look back. She couldn't. She envied her sibling, who slept thanks to a soothing spell she cast during her escape.
They needed a new planet to call home. Somewhere they wouldn't be found. But where could a teenage fairy and an infant one hide from detection?
She thought of one planet.
