"If that is what you wish, milady, that is what I shall do," said Nao, her beautiful and childish face distorted with worry.
"It shall be your reasonability, Nao, guild her but let her grow on her own," said Morrighan, her pleasant yet firm voice reassured Nao of the task set before her.
"I shall do my best," said Nao with an elegant bow. There was a flash of light and Nao was gone.
"Welcome traveler." Nao said gently as she tried to awaken the newborn. A small girl stood up and rubbed her eyes. When she opened them they widened as she gazed at Nao's beauty. Nao gave her a sweet and reassuring smile. "I welcome you to Mabinogi: The World of Many Bards."
"Why am I here?" the amazed girl asked.
"I am Nao and I want to invite you to Errin."
"Errin?" the small girl questioned.
"The world from which you might live in," Nao explained. The girl seemed very interested and Nao hoped that she would succeed in this first step.
"What is this world like?"
"There's friends and music and fruit and peace." Nao said bending the truth a little to get the girl to join.
"When can I go?" the girl asked excitedly.
"Now if you want…but…" Nao trailed off.
"What?"
"I want to give you something first." Nao clapped her hands and a small snowy owl flew down and landed on Nao's shoulder. "This is one of the offspring of my pet owl Petrock."
"It's beautiful!" The girl gasped.
"What will you name it?"
"I really get to keep it?"
"Of course you do," Nao smiled as the young pure white owl flew onto the small girl's shoulder.
"I want to name it after you Nao!"
"You needn't name it after me, it would be too confusing," Nao said with a laugh. Nao had an idea, "Why not name it Mari?"
"Mari! That's a pretty name!" the girl said enthusiastically. Nao gave her longing smile, "Yes it is," she said with a bit of sadness. "But remember it's a very special owl and you are a very special milletian. You have a big task to complete in Errin, I have high expectations."
"Will there be other people like me?"
"There will be but not as special."
"How am I special?"
"I guess you'll have to find out on the way." Nao gave a sad chuckle and a lonesome smile then there was a flash of white.
