Prologue:

"… I wish to save them all." A voice echoed from the rain. The one who spoke them was soaking wet. It was too dark to see more than an outline, though.

The tall woman in front of her was silent for a minute. "So… you wish to go on a journey to find a way to save them, correct?" She asked in a calm, unemotional voice.

The smaller girl's head nodded. "That's correct." She said.

A smirk appeared on the taller lady's lips "Very well. A group of travelers will find their way to your country very soon. You will travel with them across space and time. But… There is a price you must pay."

"…a price?" She asked quietly.

"Yes. Something precious." The taller lady said. "I'll tell you the price, and you can tell me whether you'll pay or not once you meet them."

The younger lady stiffened a bit, obviously not liking where this was going, but nodded, nonetheless.

"You're a princess, correct?"
