Have you ever heard of a kingdom, lost to legend? So old and so ancient, that it's legend is no longer told? This place existed: Hitobito no iwa no ōkoku. Kingdom of the people's rock. This great old place used to be the greatest place in the world...
Long ago, before Gamindustri existed, there was a kingdom, at least, that's what it was called, there was no king or grand castle, yet the people lived in peace, we need to look at the underground city of Semai kawa no iwa or, narrow river rock, and look at a small family, who undoubtedly changed the future forever.
?: So... Who has to go to the temple today?
?2: I think it was Giari's turn.
Two parents discussed over a meal.
?: Really? Didn't Giari go last week?
?2: In that case Utaimasu would be going today.
?: It is her turn after Giari...
A small girl ran in, her dark blue hair trailing behind her.
?: Why hello there Meiosei.
?2: Where are your sisters?
Mei: They're all still asleep.
Mei was very sweet, while her full name was Meiosei, she preferred Mei, for short, of course, she accepted all nick-names she was given.
?: Well can't you at least go wake up Firudo?
?2: She's the most responsible.
Another girl walked in.
Firudo: No need, I am already awake...
This girl seemed to be a few years older than Mei, in fact, she was the eldest of nine children, including, Giari, Utaimasu (Or Mas), Meiosei, firudo, Raitogure and Dakugure the twins, Tansu, Utsuro, and Kodo.
?2: Firudo, how many of your sisters are awake?
Firudo: Me, Mei, Utsuro, Giari and Raito.
?: I see, could you go wake up the rest Meiosei?
Mei: Yes.
She ran up stairs and Firudo sat at the table, her pasture-green hair flopping onto the table, the hair from which she got her name.
?: Sweety, shouldn't you be at work?
?2: Huh, oh! Right. I do have to leave, by.
Firudo: By mom.
The mom left and a girl with white hair bounded down the stairs.
?3: Awwww! Did I miss mom!?
?: Just barely Utsuro.
Utsuro: Agh!
She jumped up next to Firudo.
Utsuro: Hi big sis!
Firudo: Hello Utsuro.
These two had a partial connection to eachother, no one really knew why, they always fought over books and tangled over who got to play with the others next.
?: Well, I'm off to work too, you two better behave with your sisters.
Utsuro and Firudo: We will!
They noticed that their father had left them a note, for one of them to go to the temple, a tedious visit that none of them really cared about.
Firudo: It's Giari's turn.
They heard a fumble down the stairs as everyone came tumbling down.
Tansu: Ha! I made it down first!
Giari: Oh come on Tansu, I was right behind you.
Mei: Well I was down here first!
Twins, one with gold hair, one with silver, ran out of the garble of the girls and tackled Utsuro.
Utsuro: Get off me!
She swatted them off and they tumbled back into the arms of Mas and Kodo.
Kodo: Where do you get off kickin' your younger sibling's bums every day?
You never questioned the blue haired girls logic, she was too worldly.
Mas: Yeah, Utsy, you could really hurt them one of these days.
The teal-haired Mas, was quite displeased with Utsuro most of the time.
Firudo: Giari has to go to the temple today.
Firudo sipped a cup of tea as she knew this phrase would break them all up.
Giari: Oh man...
Of course, everyone knew what that meant.
Giari: No food! AGH!
Tansu: Puck up little girl, it's fine.
Even though the bright-orange haired Tansu was the sixth-oldest, she loved flaunting that at her younger sisters.
Firudo: Let's eat.
And so Giari had to watch as everyone ate, she then left off for the temple.
Giari: I hate going to the temple...
She walked through a small city alone, strange, the streets were more quiet than usual.
Giari: I hate being the third youngest... Everyone but Raito and Daku pick on me...
She made it to the rock wall at the edge of the large cavern the city was in, she walked into a carved-out temple and went to a large open area.
Giari: Ugh...
She kneeled down in front of a statue, she had to preform the ritual that children under the age of fourteen had to do, for unknown reason.
Giari: Here we go...
Firudo, who was fifteen and the fourteen year-old Kodo no longer had to do it, but everyone else rotated through the weeks.
Giari: In hopes that I may be heard, echoing through this dark and cold underground world.
She prayed the words she had been taught.
Giari: May this world and it's inhabitants break through the underground and reach the great world above, for, who knows what could be up there... I make a wish, upon the shooting stars of Celestia's mount, that I may be the first to see the bright world above...
She stood up, changing the end to her own fate, in ways Giari couldn't have imagined.
Giari: Huh?
She had altered the words at the end of her prayer, the ritual wasn't complete, but, the candles along the walls of the church began lighting up in colors they had never lit up in before.
Giari: I angered Celestia... That's what I did didn't I?
She fell to her knees as a ghostly figure approached her.
Neptune: What the hell are you talking about?
Neptune sat around a fire with the other CPUs listening to a traveling old man's tale.
Old: Well didn't you hear me? Giari was-
Neptune: Yeah, yeah, but did any of that really happen, you could have just made up all of that stuff.
Plutia: Seems pretty fishy to me...
Old: I'm telling you it's true!
Uni: Your characters aren't very believable either, last time I checked, orange isn't a natural hair color.
She said pulling her own hair.
Old: I figured you CPUs would like to hear my tale. I guess I was wrong.
He trudged off.
