"Dear Whoever Finds These Three,

I am sorry to make you take care of these three. They're one of my friends' children, but... they can't take care of them. Their names are Luna, Cosmo, and River. Luna is blind in her right eye, Cosmo is blind in both of his eyes, and River is deaf in her left ear. Cosmo is the only boy of the three. I understand that they might cause some trouble and problems because of this, and I'm sorry for having you deal with them. The box is, and will continue to be, filled with letters to them from their parents.

Good luck,

Anonymous."


A 28 year old woman with brown hair and green eyes, named Christy Cantrell, or Mrs. Cantrell, dropped the letter, looking at the triplets in surprise. She took them, and the box, inside quickly, before shouting to her husband in excitement, "Duncan, come quick! I found something!" She was completely baffled as to why this would happen to her, of all people, but she hoped to put it to good use... and that started now.

Mr. and Mrs. Cantrell had a nice house on a quiet street called Yuming Place. It had a huge kitchen, a large dining room, a small living room, a huge master bedroom, a large nursery, a big bedroom for kids, and a big playroom with all kinds of toys for kids, toddlers, and babies to play with. It was like a kid's paradise. Unfortunately, Mrs. Cantrell can't have children, so the triplets showing at their doorstep was like a gift from the heavens to them.

Duncan, a 29 year old man with black hair and brown eyes, walked into the room. He was curious and confused as to what Christy had found, as he asked, "What is it, Christy?"

"I found these little babies at our doorstep. There was a letter with them, saying that their parents can't take care of them, and... there was a box there too. Can we keep them Duncan, please?" Christy begged her husband, "They have nowhere else to go, and... I wouldn't want to leave these little cuties outside in the rain..."

Duncan sighed, knowing how much Christy loves kids, and how long she's been dreaming of taking care of kids, "Fine, we can keep them. However, if someone comes knocking at our door looking for them tonight, I will let them take them."

"I know Duncan, but... for the time being, let's be glad that we have these kids," Christy smiled.

Duncan sighed, giving in., "I'll go get the cribs from the attic..."

"Thank you, Duncan."


"Luna, Cosmo, and River... Interesting names... don't you think so, Duncan?" Christy asked her husband, once all three babies were settled in their cribs and asleep.

Duncan nodded in agreement, "Yeah... and those necklaces on their necks were weird, too. Luna had a lunar eclipse, Cosmo had a galaxy, and River had a tide."

"Wait... What is those are their actual names? Lunar Eclipse, Cosmo Galaxy, and River Tide. Those... are interesting names, but still... I assume you want to see if we can find something in the library about those names?" Christy asked.

Duncan admitted, "It's worth a shot. How about... you can stay here with them, and I'll go look for you."

"I can do that... I hope."


The next few weeks, months, and even years, were spent researching the names, but coming up with no results. When the kids started to walk and talk, they would almost always talk to each other. It was a wonder to Christy and Duncan how... Cosmo had started to walk, and was the first to prefect walking, when he is completely blind and River was the first to prefect talking, when she is partly deaf. It was obvious to both parents that River seemed to be the leader of the triplets. Well, she was Cosmo's eyes, Luna was her left ear, and she was Luna's right eye. So, it made perfect sense.

The day came for their eighth birthday. All the kids were super excited and happy about it. There were going to be a lot of kids there, and... best of all... lots of presents, cake, and ice cream! Who doesn't like presents, cake and ice cream?

Luna, being the shy one of the three, fidgeted with her necklace, before she accidentally broke it. She gulped, noticing a locket now on the floor. She picked it up, examining it's bronze casing, with an eclispe on it. She tried to pry it open, but she couldn't. She decided to put it in her pocket and to tell her siblings about it after everyone was gone. She was even more nervous now, as she didn't want her parents to yell at her for breaking the only thing she had from her parents, so she went to the playroom, and started to play with the toys in there.

River, being pretty much the leader of the triplets, gasped at Luna, breaking her own necklace. She looked at the bronze casing and the tide on it. She decided against trying to pry it open, as Luna's attempts seemed to not lead to anything. She put it in her pocket to show the others later. She tried to ignore what was in her pocket, by reading kid's books that their parents had bought for them.

Cosmo frowned, looking at the accident that had happened. He had taken off his necklace, and then accidentally stepped on it. He felt the ground for it, but only grabbing the locket. Confused, he felt it, feeling a galaxy imprinted on it. He gasped, knowing that was what was on his necklace, and eventually put it in his pocket.


"They've all broken the necklaces, Gold."

"Good. Thanks for tell me, Blue. Now we just have to wait for them to figure out how to open it..."


"I'd say they need a little hint..."

"B-Gold, no!"


Once everyone had left the party, the triplets met up. They all were surprised when a book was slid towards the three of them. It had a pure black cover, but has a golden spark of light in the middle of it. River opened it, looking at the back of the cover, seeing the neat, pretty, golden lettering that said that it was someone that went by B.C.. They were curious as to who that was, but they figured that eventually they'd find out. There was a lot more that they'd figure out than what they thought. It all started with that book of spells. A letter was on the title page and River grabbed it, opening it so that they could all see it.


"Dear Luna, Cosmo, and River,

I'm giving you my book of spells. I decided that because you aren't normal kids (plus you've already managed to break your necklaces), I'd give it to you. I don't need it to make spells, but it had helped. I don't mind that you've broken your necklaces, it only helps me in the end. Whenever your in need of something, or in trouble I'm sure the book could fix it for you. You'll gain several other books in the next few years, full of secrets about a lot of things. Anyhow, I'm impressed that you've broken the necklaces. I hope you'll learn a lot before we meet.

Love,

Father."


The triplets all gasped, excitedly. They had gotten the message. It wasn't hard to figure it out. Besides, the letters usually had secret messages inside of them. It was interesting, but they loved it. It just added to the mystery that was their parents.


"Lunar Eclipse!"

"Cosmo Galaxy!"

"River Tides!"


The lockets opened, one by one.

Luna's had a piece of a picture inside of a teen and a kid.

Cosmo's had a piece of a picture inside of two kids.

River's had a piece of a picture inside of two older men.

They all gasped at it, putting the pictures together. Seing them fit, they squealed in delight, before taping the back together, so that the picture was whole. Now to figure out who the people in the picture were. They already had a hint.

The people from Luna's picture both held a baby, and the boy kid from Cosmo's was also holding a baby. They realized what that meant.

Time to interrogate their adoptive parents.
