Prologue
Screams of horror and terror rang throughout the Faerie lands. Great fires roared destroying beautiful forests, valleys, and villages and buildings. Many Fae folk were being slain ruthlessly, without an ounce of remorse. Chaos, blood, and battle, was being spread far and wide.
The queen of the Seelie Court, Hana, stood on her balcony of her castle watching as this all these horrible things were bestowed upon her lands.
'This cannot continue any longer...' She thought.
"My queen..." The familiar voice of Kiyoshi spoke. Hana turned around; Kiyoshi, one of Hana's most trusted guards, was standing in the doorway which led out onto the balcony. Kiyoshi – like all other Fae – was handsome. He had long, blonde-white hair with sharp, blue eyes and pointed futures as well as pointed ears.
"Kiyoshi," Hana greeted him. Kiyoshi bowed in response. "What is wrong?"
"The Unseelie Court have launched their first attack upon the castle." Kiyoshi informed his Queen.
Hana's expression hardened. "Send our Fae guard to stop them." She ordered him, "they shall not enter this castle – I will not allow it."
"Of course, my Queen," Kiyoshi bowed respectfully to Hana, and with that, he disappeared back into the castle to complete his orders.
'I must protect her... then do something to stop this madness.' Hana thought.
Having no time to waste, Hana entered the castle and into her bedroom
Hana's room was gorgeous; the floors were made from mahogany and were heated. She had a king size bed placed against one of the wall, a night stand on each side of the bed, there were two windows on the other wall opposite from the bed, a mahogany dresser was also lined up against that wall, there were multiple book cases full of books, and some pictures of Hana's parents, grandparents and so on, there was a nice fire place with two comfy velvet arms chairs placed a few feet away from the fireplace, there was a crystal chandelier which hung from the middle of the ceiling, the walls and ceiling of the room was a pure white with a design of red roses falling, a nice red soft velvet carpet covered the floor of the bedroom, and finally placed at the end of Hana's bed was a beautiful crib made from cherry wood.
Hana walked gracefully over to the crib. Sleeping peacefully in the crib was Hana's one and only daughter...Sakura.
'I'm so sorry Sakura' Hana thought, gently stroking Sakura's smooth cheek as tears began to weld up in her eyes. She then walked over to her dressed and picked up a long black velvet box. Holding the box carefully, Hana returned to Sakura's crib.
Hana's tears were now slipping down her cheeks as she opened the velvet box to reveal a necklace; the chain of the necklace was pure white-gold with a single cherry blossom petal hanging from the chain. On the back of the blossom, Sakura's name had been carved into it in elegant, cursive writing.
Carefully, so she did not wake Sakura, Hana slipped the necklace around the sleeping Sakura's neck. She whispered sadly, "Sakura-hime... I hope you can forgive me."
Hana gently scooped Sakura up into her arms causing Sakura to stir slightly, but not awaken. With Sakura wrapped in a bundle of pink blankets, Hana left her bedroom at a brisk pace through the oak doors.
She quickly walked through the halls of the castle, looking left and right to see if anyone was around.
Time was running out...
Hana made a sharp left, then a right, and one more left. She finally arrived at the end of a hall. There was only one door at the end of this hall.
Hana opened and door and entered the darkness which awaited her. The door immediately shut behind her.
As Hana walked down the stone staircase, candles lit up along the way.
When Hana had finally reached the bottom of the staircase, the whole dark room lit up with candle... all of them were hanging from the ceiling or on a candle holder attached to the walls.
Placed perfectly in the middle of the room was a silver pond. It was beautiful and glistening; it also seemed to emit a sort of strange and compelling sparkle.
Hana approached the silver pond. She loomed over top of it, looking down into silver pond. "Konoha," She whispered, and the village showed up in the silver pond.
It was time to go; Hana entered the pond.
It felt as though she was falling through the sky... the wind rushing through her long, silky, pink locks. However, in actual reality, Hana wasn't falling at all.
Suddenly, Hana was standing in the empty and lonely, dark streets of Konoha. Most of the lights in the houses were now turned off, for many people had gone to sleep for a good night's rest.
Hana walked through the streets; she soon stopped in front of a house which still had a single light on. This was the house of the Haruno family.
Silently, Hana approached the door. She stopped and bent down to lay Sakura softly on the door mat. Hana's tears dripped down onto Sakura's cheeks... 'This is all for the best,' Hana told herself as she leaned forward and graced Sakura's forehead with a kiss.
"I will forever love you." Hana told the sleeping baby. "Never doubt that, my precious Sakura-hime."
Hana stood up straight, and rang the doorbell a couple times before taking off into the night.
The door opened, and a young woman in her early twenties gasped as she noticed the baby sleeping on her door mat. Without hesitation, she picked the baby up and retreated into the warmth of her house.
...
Hopefully, one day when it was safe for Sakura, Hana could return for her, but for now it was best that Sakura remained hidden. Hana just hoped that Sakura would not hate her for this decision... when she found out the truth of course.
Crying tears of sadness, Hana stalked off into the night...
