No POV

It took a little bit of snooping around but they found out which inn the siblings were staying at. They managed to get the room number out of the inn keeper and at the moment were rummaging through the room for anything useful. Zidane sighed "There's nothing that can tell us anything about them here. This was a waste of time." Eiko smiled up at him showing him Luna's pack, "Not a complete waste." Zidane smirked and grabbed the bag and began to dig through it furiously, that is until he stumbled upon a rather old scroll. He pulled it out and showed everyone. He unrolled it only to see it was a map and a very outdated one as well, it was probably ten years old or something like that. Sighing he handed it to Garnet who had reached for it, "I don't see why you want to look at it, it's outdated." She looked at the map and then focused on a certain spot, eyes widening in realization. "Zidane this isn't just some old map. This is a map from when the arrician villages still existed." Zidane had heard of those people before, they were shape-shifters of some sort. "Okay so why is that important? I mean why would they even carry it with them?" Garnet shrugged her shoulders and then pointed to a village that had been circled. "Look this one is circled, it was the main village, where the royal Arrician family lived. That's odd though, why would they carry this around with them?" the group looked around at each other and shrugged.

Daemon and Luna were walking up the steps to their room. Daemon stopped at the beginning of the hallway, picking up a scent, "Luna, there are people in our room and one of them is that actress." Luna seemed to stop and think for a moment, then smiling, she opened the door, catching the group in the middle of their conversation, "Well looks like we can't hide it from them anymore, eh?" Daemon, who was extremely furious at the moment, "How can you be so nonchalant about this? These people broke into our room!" She shrugged, "Well I would've done the same thing in their position, I mean if I met a strange pair of siblings, such as ourselves, I'd get curious too. I really can't blame them." Daemon looked at his sister completely confused, she smiled and walked towards them and saw the map, "So you found that old thing huh? Yeah its old I've had it since I was 5. Last piece of home there is left for me and Daemon. I miss the way things were back then, simple and carefree." She looked back at Daemon, "We may as well tell them, they already found the map." He sighed in defeat to his sister and walked forward to stand next to her, "Alright, but I will tell it alright?" she nodded her head in agreement. "Well then it started when I was 5...

Flashback

A young girl ran into the large hut she had been playing in front of, giggling she yelled out, "DADDY! WHERE ARE YOU DADDY!?" Out from behind her a man who she looked very much like jumped out and tickled the girl, "Do you give up Luna?" The girl smiled, "Never" The man, her father smiled, "Well then the tickling shall continue. Muwhahahaha." Luna squealed in delight as her father continued to tickle her. Until there was a knock on the front of the hut. He smiled at her and told her to stay put while he answered the door. She tried to listen but couldn't hear very well. When her father came back, his face was grim and shadowed with pain. The little girl walked towards him, concern all over her face, "Daddy? Daddy are you okay? Whats wrong?" He looked down at her, "Luna your mother died trying to give birth to your younger sister today. Neither of them made it through." tears welled up in her eyes and she burt into tears clinging to her father for comfort. Her father cried with her and the girls brother watched from the side a few stray tears falling but he didn't cry because he had to stay strong for his sister.

A year later (still flashback)

The two children stood and watched as the village burned to ashes and dust the sounds of battle and the war cries of their father and his warriors still fresh in their ears. The boy looked over at his sister, "It will be okay Luna as long as we have each other. I will always protect you,no matter what the cost." She looked up at her brother, "Me too, Daemon, I will train and learn to fight, so that I can protect you." The two smiled at each other and were soon headed off, not sure where they were going but knowing that someday they would end up away from the pain and hurt.

End Flashback

The room was still and quiet after Daemon finished speaking, only the sound of steady breathing filled the room. Garnet was the first to speak, "Who attacked your village?" Daemon leaned against the wall and the look on his face said he was uncomfortable with the subject. "It was a man who called himself Venom. He was a banished Arrician, who wanted revenge on our father for exiling him." said Luna who seemed a bit more relaxed than her brother. Zidane looked at garnet who was thinking, "Did he have an army of hybrid soldiers?" the young queen asked. Luna looked up and nodded, "Yes that was him, they weren't really hybrids though. They were just infused with animal DNA, which gave them fangs, claws or other animalistic qualities." Garnet nodded her head thoughtfully. "So you and your brother are Arricians, right?" Luna looked up only to find that the speaker was a boy around her age, with a belt around his eyes and spiky red hair. "Yes, we are. We come from the royal family line and we can only shape-shift into dragons or gain dragon like traits. Each family blood line has a certain animal they can shape-shift into and the royal family's was a dragon." the boy seemed satisfied with this answer. Daemon finally spoke up, "Well I suppose if we're going to be nice, it would be nice if in return you would at least tell us your names." And with that they were introduced to everyone.

Later on in the day, Garnet had invited the two Arricians to stay at the castle and before Daemon could reject the offer, Luna took it. They were sitting at the table eating dinner, when one of the guards brought a letter to the queen. Garnet opened the letter and read it, eyes widening in fear as she did. When Zidane asked, "Whats wrong?" she answered him, "It's uncle Cid. Lindblums been attacked and overtaken by Venom. He and aunt Helga are on their way here." And at this there was a knock on the door and it opened to reveal....
