Skys of Arcadia: Princess in rags.

Nera stole quietly along the Valuan streets with her package, hoping not to be found. She snuck quietly from shadow to shadow keeping her eyes on the tavern not too far ahead. She crept quietly past the tavern and dashed into her own little hovel. "Mama, I got them." She said, kneeling at her dying mother's bedside.

"Good, now unwrap them, they are for you." She croaked, her hoarse voice barely a whisper. Nera unwrapped the package, then gazed with wonder. Her mother couldn't afford this. Here were some prime weapongs and a moon stone, purple.

"Mama, we can't afford this." She said, wishing they could.

"We don't have to." Her mother said, holding Nera's hand. "They were your brothers' before the fever took them." Then, she coughed so hard it racked her whole body. "I won't last much longer. Take your father's plane and get out of here. Go to Pirate Isle. They will help you. Just tell them my name. Callia." She said, then her eyes widened and she took her last breath.
