The angels waited patiently for their Highnesses to come. The Princess would be leaving today on a mission to Earth, and she would be seeing the Great Hall before she left.
All of the sudden, angels near the door lined up and began playing a salute on various instruments. Every being in the room knelt in line and bowed their heads.
Then, at the front of the big, white hall they were in, huge doors opened and two figures entered the room.
The taller was a man cothed in all white and he was radiating with a pale golden light. The shorter was a girl about one year old in a white robe. She had brown curls and she was really pretty. An angel within the gathering brought a 1 year old boy forward so he could see too.
He was wearing a white tunic (females wore dresses and males wore tunics), but he didn't have wings on his back, like everyone else, and neither did the man or the girl.
The man smiled as the boy and the girl looked straight at each other and held hands for a brief moment. The man decided to speak.
"She will be your mate when you have both grown older. Do you understand, Kiran?" he asked the boy. Kiran nodded.
He was the Prince. There was a mature look in his eyes, one that did not fit a person of his age and the same look was in the girl.
The man looked up from the two children. When they broke away from each other, the girl looked up at her father.
"Are you ready, Alina?" he asked. She nodded. The angels watched in silence. They wanted the Princess to stay with them very much, but they needed to follow Kami's orders for her mission.
"Ada." said the man. A female angel looked up.
"Yes, Lord?" she asked, continuing to bow.
"I want you to take care of Alina when she is down on Earth. She will need training and a guardian for a small while. I will call when you are to return. That is my request." he told her. "Will you do it?" he asked.
She was shocked. This was probably the most important thing she could ever do. She nodded quickly and stood.
"Of course, my Lord. I am ready." He nodded. Alina walked over to her and took her hand.
"Thank you. She will be called Arya Watanabe. You will be going to Japan, to live in the Village Hidden in the Leaves." He also handed her an envelope.
"This has the information for your mission. I hope you will do your best."
She nodded and turned to leave.
"Thank you, Ada." the man said. Then she disappeared in a bright flash.
Ada looked up. In front of her was a large wooden gate, with a leaf carved into the top. She opened the envelope and read the first page, which had information about the village and its people. Then she snapped her fingers and her clothes began glowing. After a minute, the glow died and she was wearing a light blue dress and sandals. Then she snapped her fingers again and she was carrying a traveling bag while holding Alina's hand still. Then she walked through the gates.
