Prologue:
"They appeared out of nowhere!" shouted the voice of a child, no older than the age of about seven. The child stood up tall on their bed, wooden sword in hand, dressed in the most bizarre outfit in an attempt to look like the one and only most feared pirate, Captain Nathaniel Flint! They jumped down off the bed and swung the sword towards one of their toys, evidently making it fall over, and grabbed the small toy treasure box in front of the fallen plaything. With that they ran towards the bed again, only this time sliding underneath it. "And then, gathering up their spoils, vanished without a trace," they said, quieter this time, almost in a whisper at the end.
The seven year old's (E/C) hues glittered every time she heard the story, but acting it out had always been her favourite thing to do when her parents were around.
She got out from under the bed and looked down at the other four toys that sat to the side of the room. "Flint's secret trove was never found," she said mysteriously, just how like a narrator would talk to its audience. "But stories have insisted that it remains hidden somewhere at the farthest reaches of the galaxy, stowed with riches beyond your imagination, the loot of a thousand worlds." The child swooped down to their audience and said, "Treasure Planet!"
"(Y/N)! What kind of a racket are you making? Get to bed!" came a voice from the room just next to yours.
(Y/N) growled to herself at her foster mother's voice, but didn't dare answer back β they would send her back to the care home. She gathered up the four toys on the floor and plopped them down on her bed with her.
The (H/C) haired youngster pulled the blanket over her small form, not even bothering to switch off the lights. She looked down at the closest plaything to her and brought her ear to it. She took herself away soon enough and answered the question she had imagined the toy to say in a whisper.
"What? What's Treasure Planet?" (Y/N) asked, somewhat shocked. Before doing anything more, she responded to her own repeated question: "It's only the place where the whole story took place! Where piles and piles of gold and jewels lie, waiting for someone to take. What? How did the riches get their?" she repeated her teddy's question again.
"You really should listen more! Captain Nathaniel Flint stole the riches and hid them there. What happened to him, you ask? Well, heβ ''
The seven year found that, unlike the other questions, she couldn't answer this one. This time instead of looking down at her toys, she found herself training her eyes on the ceiling above her.
"I-I don't know, but I will know! Soon β When I'm older. I'll travel, just like Daddy, and I'll actually go to Treasure Planet."
