Entry 1
My name and title is Lae D. Snowflake. It was given to me by King Ashura of the country of Seresu. "D" represents that I am a magic user under Ashura's rule. But with that in mind, I look up to him more as a father figure than a royal figurehead. Seven years ago, today, I was found by His Majesty in the snow, therefore he found it appropriate to give me the second name "Snowflake."
When I was brought to live in the castle, I was immediately introduced to a young man, perhaps 12 years older then myself, that also came into Ashura's care from strange means and reasons. At the time I didn't entirely comprehend what was going on around me as Ashura entrusted my life of studying magic in the care of this young man. He introduced himself to me with a wide smile as Fai D. Fluorite. He told me my eyes were sparkling so much like a star that it must be a sign that I was a "favorite of the gods" as he told me, and that was what was watching me until I came to be found.
It's been seven whole years since that night, tonight as a matter of fact! But to be honest, that night I wasn't really concerned getting answers because my full attention was fixated on his eyes. Those beautiful crystal blue eyes. Fai told me they are the source of his magic so to be drawn to them immediately means that I must have a natural ability of magic myself. Was he right! He taught me so much in these seven years that I follow closely in progress when he was my age. I remember one night I was taking a break from learning shielding spells when I found Fai alone, which seemed unnatural to me at the time. I found him in a daze staring into a pool. I'd never seen this room until that day and I was a little worried Fai would've been angry with my intrusion. He didn't even notice me until I was next to him. I stared at his emotionless face when I notice he began to lean forward to the point where I had to grab him and pull him away from the water before he could plunge himself in. It was then he noticed I was there! I saw someone precious and strong to me break down as he talked of his brother. I had not met any brother so I was curious. I listened as he talked about the cursed twin princess, he talked about how he killed Fai. I asked him who he was and he looked at me and I noticed the despair that reflected from his eyes. He said 'Yuuhi.'
I started to tear up as I realized the surroundings around me. I saw two small children being thrown into a tower. So many things flashed before me and I didn't even know what to make of any of it. Later I found myself being shaken to my senses. He told me that what I just saw were his memories and he didn't want me to see any of it. It wasn't something anyone should have to see. Fai also told me that King Ashura & I are the only two people who know of the name Yuuhi. He did mutter that there was one other but I should not concern myself with who he was. I wonder why he changed his name. I don't have an answer why, but I plan to find out. I swear my the end of this journal, I'll know!
