Waves gently lapped the shores of the Destiney Islands. On a small peice of land just off shore, a young girl was sitting on a large branch of a tree, her long, chesnut-brown hair flowing gracefully in the wind. The sun shone down on the small cluster of islands like it would be its last day. Seagulls were crying as they flew above the water, seeking for their breakfast. The girl stood up on the branch and looked down at the cool, clear water. Without a moment's hesitation, she jumped from the branch and landed into the water with a loud SPLASH. She broke the surface and opened her eyes. Looking towards the beach, she saw two young men running into the water to meet her, one blonde and one with silver hair that shone like a polished sword when it caught the sunlight.
"Mia! Hey Mia!" the silver haired boy shouted to her. Mia laughed and swam towards them.
"What are you two doing out here? Don't you have to help with the festivel preperations?" she shouted as a wave swelled and brought her closer.
"We got done our part early, and they sent us to find you, birthday girl!" the blonde shouted. The silver haired boy splashed him with water.
"Ferio, you know that they didn't send us here!" he shouted.
"Oh yeah. I know why. Lafarga was so anxious to see you that he hurried and got done early, Mia!"
Mia blushed. She was standing with them now and she looked at Lafarga. "I-is that true?"
He simply pushed Ferio under the water. "You know what a liar he can be. But I did really want to see you."
Mia smiled and pushed her hair out of her face. Then, Lafarga walked over to her and gave her a hug. "Happy birthday, Mia." he whispered to her. Then, without warning, he picked her up and threw her into the water. She came up, coughing and sputtering. Lafarga laughed while Ferio snuck up behind him. Then, he jumped on Lafarga's back and pulled him under too. For what felt to them like hours, they kept splashing and pushing one another under and laughing. Then, they all realized that they needed to get themselves ready for the festival too. That made them laugh even harder as they swam towards the shore.

After parting ways with Mia, Lafarga nad Ferio ran to a secret cave by the waterfall. They crawled through its tiny entrance and stepped out into a large cavern. A hooded figure was standing in its center.
"Well? Have you found her yet?" it said to them in a low, evil, demonic-toned voice that sent chills through their bodies.
"Not yet Master. We're looking everywhere for her. Are you sure this is the right place?" Ferio said, blowing a strand of hair out of his face.
"I'm sure of it. I'm sensing The Wing's presence here. The princess has got to be here." the figure replied.
"But the only time I've felt something even slightly close to the presence is when I'm near Mia. But, there's no way that she could be a princess! She doesn't even know where she comes from or who her parents are." Lafarga said, sitting on the ground. Ferio leaned against the cavern wall. The figure simply stood there, as still as a statue.
"Well," it said, reaching into the confines of its robes, "We'll use the mirror to find her then."
"Wait Master. Are you sure we should use it? It's so powerful that if she IS here, we'd be detected."
The figure turned and looked at Lafarga. "That is true. But I've cast a spell over this place that makes us virtually undetecable."
"Ah, I see. Good plan, Master."
The figure lifted the mirror towards the sky. "Oh great Mirror of Seeking, reveal to us the location of the nextPrincess of Heart!"
The mirror then glowed an eerie green, and then a face appeared in it...a young woman's face, and it was very familiar to Ferio and Lafarga. Find this girl and bring her to me at once!"
The two bowed and walked out of the cave. They both were solomn, and then Lafarga stopped, his hands balledinto fists.
"I...I can't do this, Ferio." he said. Ferio turned and looked at him.
"I know that. But Master promised us our memories if we did this for him!"
"I know that. But...I just don't want to do this anymore!"
"Look,if we get our memories back, who cares? We can find out who we really are! And Mia can too! So, please Onii-san, let's just get this over with."
"A-all right. I'll finish this. Let's go."
And with that, the two of them walked out of the cave into the light of the setting sun, tearstains on each of their faces.
