Prologue: A Little Family
A young male held a small female human baby in his arms. "Don't worry, Jasmine Eclipsa Marie Russell, I'll get you off this island, someday, I promise," The boy vowed. Having been snatched away from the parents who had loved him, he had no love for many of the Isle's residents.
Young Jasmine Eclipsa, his new daughter began to fuss. Rocking her gently, the boy, called Nick, or Orphan Nicky, found a good spot where he could see Auradon, the land where he wished he could raise his sweet girl.
With that, he began to sing. "I remember tears streaming down your face when I said, 'I'll never let you go.' When all those shadows almost killed your light, I remember you said, 'Don't leave me here alone,' but all that's dead and gone and passed tonight. Just close your eyes. The sun is going down. You'll be alright. No one can hurt you now. Come morning light, you and I'll be safe and sound. Don't you dare look out your window darling. Everything's on fire. The war outside our door keeps raging on. Hold on to this lullaby, even when the music's gone, gone. Just close your eyes. The sun is going down. You'll be alright. No one can hurt you now. Come morning light, you and I'll be safe and sound. Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la. Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, la, la, la, la. Just close your eyes. You'll be alright. Come morning light, you and I'll be safe and sound…. Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, oh, oh."
Jasmine Eclipsa shifted. "Sleep well, my darling girl," the boy kissed the little girl's forehead as he wrapped her in his old baby blanket. A young female snow leopard laid next to the sleeping baby. "Thanks, Dwala," Nick gently scratched her ears.
As the two slept, Nick settled in the window and stared longingly at Auradon as he softly began to sing, "Safe behind these windows and these parapets of stone, gazing at the people down below me. All my life, I watch them as I hide up here alone, hungry for the histories they show me. All my life, I memorize their faces, knowing them as they will never know me. All my life, I wonder how it feels to pass a day, not above them, but part of them. And out there, living in the sun. Give me one day out there, all I ask is one to hold forever, out there where they all live unaware. What I'd give, what I'd dare, just to live one day out there. Out there, among the millers and the weavers and their wives. Everyday, they shout and scold and go about their lives, heeedless of the gift it is to be them. If I were in their skin, I'd treasure every instant out there. Strolling by the Seine, taste a morning out there, like ordinary men who freely walk about there. Just one day, and then I swear I'll be content with my share. Won't resent, won't despair, old and bent, I won't care, I'll've spent one day out there."
Nick glanced at where his daughter and animal companion slept peacefully. "Riffraff, streetrat, I don't buy that. If only they'd look closer, would they see a poor boy? No sirree. They'd find out there's so much more to me," he sang mournfully.
Nick eventually settled down for the night, carefully cradling Jasmine Eclipsa to his chest, and one hand rubbing Dwala behind her ears as the small family slept.
