Prologue

The Kingdom of Iro

A long time ago, in a country at war, a war that has gone on for so long, no one actually knows the real reason for the war. A king was sitting at his throne, ready to give orders or set justice with a set of his people who might be having a feud. His people adored him; his name was King Leonard II. His wife, Queen Riana, was pregnant.

The people were happy for their queen. The people in the capital town, the city of Kiiro, threw festivals for their queen. On the last day of the festivals, and almost three months before the child could be born, the king had encountered in a battle to protect his queen.

The King pulled his sword back and thrust it into his enemy, saying, "You should have left when I gave you your chance." The enemy, unfortunately, had also thrust into the king's stomach. Their blood dripped to the floor from the killing blow given to one another.

The enemy replied, mockingly, "And you should have handed over your queen." He smirks at Leonard, triumphal.

"When my child is born, I hope he will know that I have done this so he may live." With that, both the king and the enemy fell to the floor, dead.

The people burned the enemy's body; this was a tradition that did show respect to their enemy. They put their king into a coffin and laid the coffin onto a platform in the country side.

A man said, in a deep and pitying voice, "Our King was a great man. He truly loved us, his people. He also loved his lovely wife, our dear queen. Sadly, this will leave his child to be raised without ever knowing how wonderful his father truly was. He shall be remembered for his good deeds and kindness. Hopefully, his child will be the same." After saying so, the man stepped down and another man torched the coffin while chanting. The people gave their kindness to the queen, each saying "Sorry for your loss." What was a happy time in the kingdom of Iro, is now a dark and sad time as the people continue their daily errands and mourn for the loss of the king and feel sorry for the child, who will now be posthumous.

Three months later, the child is born. It's a boy and he was a little too quiet, so his maids, servants and mother all worried for him. The only thing he has ever been interested in is books, drawing, and wondering around. "The last thing he loves to do…Will become a huge problem later," thought his mother as she watched him walk around a puddle in the gardens.

The Kingdom of Kuro

During the same time as Iro, the kingdom of Kuro's queen, Lillian, was also pregnant. The father, King Ethel IV, was proud. He couldn't wait to see whether it was a boy or a girl. Kuro, a beautiful country, was located in the center of a large forest. Therefore, it's usually darkened in the edges of the country, but the center, where the capital, Shiro, is, that area is full of light.

The people in the city of Shiro also threw festivals for the queen's child. And on the same day, at the end of the festival, almost three months before the child could be born, tragedy struck. The king and an enemy were killed in a battle, the king, also, protecting his queen; the same words, only two different people.

King Ethel IV was buried at the edge of the country, marking that he had ruled them wisely and well. The people abandoned the enemy somewhere outside the country, not caring what happened to him. Queen Lillian mourned for the king; she tried to be cheerful so her child could be happy.

Three months later, the same day as Iro's prince is born, a girl is born in Kuro. Her mother, unfortunately, passes away shortly after her daughter's birth and her body is buried next to the King's, who died three months before. The girl is quiet throughout her life in the castle. She has been ill since birth, therefore usually in her room. Her servants and maids take turns reading to her, for she has never opened her eyes either. She could be dead, only she breathes. "She only waits quietly for her savior, her prince," said a maid while fleeing the castle.

"Yes…I must agree, but why do we leave her?" asked her partner.

"Because she must have her prince to herself when he comes, and we cannot stay here much longer…She will be fine, I bet." With that being said, the last maid and servant leave. Although…One servant did stay, so then he may feed the princess while she waits for her prince to come. Even after ten years, she is still quiet. She has opened her eyes, but she doesn't see anything nor does she feel anything.
