Welcome to Esternosa

"What was that... my clothes feel so heavy."

"Look did you see that girl came out of the lake!"

"Look she doesn't have ears or a tail!"

"She smells so nice!"

"Just look at her skin color she has beautiful brown skin, and that white hair with red tips!"

" I think she the one in the prophecy! Quick someone call the palace quick."

As I came too I opened my eyes to an unfamiliar ceiling I see a grand and luxurious room. Which was covered in white and gold with beautiful furnishings. And the bed was so big and comfyI thought it would swallow me whole.

"We have been taking care of this Chosen One for 5 days and she has yet to wake up."

"Ahhhhhhhhhhh! She's awake, someone go inform the emperor she's awake!" As the maid started to scream the others looked at her as she ran down the hall way.

"Good morning your grace." The other maids scrambled to bow "let us get you ready." The maid clapped her hands an two more maids showed up and started to help me undress. My back was in so much pain when I woke up as they maids removed my clothes they were startled when the saw my back.

"So the rumors were true she is the chosen one!" Chosen what now, that is the second time I have heard that... well the third since coming to this place. The maids finished dressing me up. And I sat down for them to fix my hair and I saw the elegant dress the had put on me it was a little bit old fashioned ballgown. Just how am I going to walk in this and the corset might be too tight ugh why me. "I'm done my lady with your hair please follow me to his majesty's study room. The maid turned and started to walk away I followed behind her slowly; this dress is too much I think one of these days I am going to trip. The maid shows me into the study where I see this old man with the same skin tone as me and with the same hair color and his eyes were a green and blue as mine, just who is he.

"Please sit down we have much to discuss" the man gestured for me to sit down so I sat on the couch across from him and tea was served. There was a moment of awkward silence until the emperor spoke. "Is your name Inaaya Florinstine?" "Yes it is why do you ask." In that moment the Emperor drops his tea cup and it shatters on the floor as tears streamed down his face. He's crying?!?

"My daughter..... Is that you.....?" The Emperor reaches out his hand to touch my cheek. "But Grandmother Iris...said that my father disappeared the day I was born... the day my mother died. Are you really him!?!" I began to shrink back into the couch as the Emperor pulls out a similar practically identical necklace to mine. "Hey! Where did you get that necklace?!" I said as he held it right in front of my face.

"Your mother Eliza Florinstine had a necklace like this one in my hand, so the day we got married and she became the Empress I Roxstant Leazarr had crafted a similar necklace for myself to wear as Eliza wore hers... for the woman I love.." The Emperor opened up the necklace to show a picture of me and mother the day I was born. "This has become my favorite picture ever made.." He placed his hand on the picture, " But during that time I could not protect you both, back then the 12 clans were at war with each other and it was my duty to settle the fighting, but many had tried to kill you and your mother before we realized we were pregnant with you. But due to my carelessness when your mother went into labor the maids had kicked me out of the room and by the time I heard you cry it was too late! The maids were shaking and the blood.... so much blood on the bed and all I saw was my wife... my empress was dying. She asked me to bring you to her hens she held you in her arms and placed a spell over you as I had people take pictures of you together for the last time... The spell that was placed was that your powers we not going to awaken until your 19th birthday to keep you safe from the 12 clans.

But that same day the Hebi clan came and stormed the palace. I had the had maid at the time Iris take you somewhere safe even I did not know where it was she took you. But before your mother breathed her last she told of a prophecy that the person who comes from another world will bring the 12 clans together and stop the evil monster Akron. And that happens to be you my daughter Inaaya Belisalia Florinstine Leazarr the first born of the Emperor Roxstant Leazarr. Two year after you mother died I took another wife she too has passed of a rare disease but she had a son and I named him Lieones Siegefred Soma-lies Leazarr he is your half brother, please treat him well."

The Emperor finishes his story and I can't take it all in and I just look at him in amazement as I shed tears he hands me a handkerchief to wipe my eyes with. "There there my child it's going to be alright. Malaya! Send the princess back to her room please." "Yes your majesty. Come along princess." The maid had hazel eyes and dark brown hair, she looked at me with so much warmth as she helped me up and lead me out of the study room. "Thank you for helping me Ms. Malaya." "Your welcome My lady and don't call me Ms. just call me Malaya, and welcome to Esternosa the empire under the Goddess Belisama!"
