In a place where people live around nature itself. Coexist with the animals and other creatures with abilities to survive from danger that lives in their home. A place where outsiders have a hard time finding and a possibility of getting lost when they try to find it. Buildings build from the plants themselves, that will keep the living safe and sound through any weather that comes their way. From the cold winters to the heat summers their homes kept them well. Plants that can help heal the injured and the sick that are in need.

Foods grown in different places that can be made into fine and delicious dishes to save them from starvation. Where water travels from either rivers, ponds, or lakes through and through, giving them their drinks to save them from dehydration.

This is their Utopia, this is their sanctuary, this is their home.

...........This place is called City Forest.

.~. 10 years ago .~.

In a place called City Forest, there lived two girls, twins to be exact, named Yuri and Yuki. Both born with their mother's eyes and their father's skin color. They were complete opposites though; their personality, their hair color, likes and dislikes, their element, etc., but they still love each other. Through thick and thin, they stick by each other's side; their mother often said that they act like their father and uncle when they were young, which always brings a smile to the girls faces.

Yuri was the oldest sibling, she was more open to what she wanted to say, no matter what it was or to whom. People here would see here outside in different parts of the forest, enjoying the scenery until nightfall. Sometimes, she would get into fights with the other kids that picks on her sister and ends up getting scolded by her mother after hearing what she did.

Yuki was the youngest sibling, unlike her sister, she likes to keep what she had to say to herself. She was a shy person, she barely talks to people when she's alone. People would often she her either with her sister or by herself in nature away from people. She tends to her sister's wounds whenever she gets into a fight.

It was night time and everybody was either already asleep or doing something else, the twins were the something else. Every night when they are getting ready for bed, their mother would tell them a bedtime story. They loved it when their mother tell them stories, they would often dream that they were in them when they sleep. Some stories they liked, some they don't, or one of them would like it and the other doesn't, making them argue to which was better. The twins was on the floor cuddled up with their mother's pet, that was coiling around them, making them more cozy as they were listening to the story with interest.

"The frog looked up at the Princess with his big round sad eyes and said "Oh please, dear Princess! Only a KISS from you can break this terrible spell that was inflicted on me by a Wicked Witch!"

"The frog looked up at the Princess with his big round sad eyes and said "Oh please, dear Princess! Only a KISS from you can break this terrible spell that was inflicted on me by a Wicked Witch!"." their mother told them.

"I hope that nothing bad happens." Yuki whispered to her sister.

"And the beautiful Princess was so moved by his desperate plea that she stooped down, picked up the slippery creature, leaned forward, raised him to her lips.....and KISSED the little frog!"

"Awww~" Yuki said at that part.

"EWWW!!!" Yuri on the other hand, sticks out her tongue in disgust, feeling grossed out.

"Then the frog was transformed into a handsome Prince! They were married and lived happily ever after. The End." their mother finished as Yuki cheered, almost falling over if it wasn't for their mother's pet sitting her up with it's tail. "All right girls, it's time to go to bed."

"Awww, but mommy!!/Tell another one, please!" the girls whined, not wanting to go to bed.

"No buts." she said as she picked her daughters and placed them in their beds. "It's time to go to sleep."

"Mommy?" Yuki called out, getting the mom's attention when she tucked her in. "Are these stories that you tell true?"

"Hmmm...." the mother pretended to think before shrugged with a smile. "Maybe they are, maybe they're not. Who knows."

"Well I hope their not!" Yuri said when was next to get tucked in. "Who would kiss a yucky frog? That's gross!"

"You always kiss Tempest on his head!" Yuki said pointing at the winged serpent.

"That's different! Tempest is family, you kiss family!"

"Girls, girls. There's no need to fight." their mother called out, stopping their argument. "You don't want to wake up everyone here, now do you?"

"......No." the girls shook their heads.

"Good." she then kissed their foreheads and touched the luminary flowers, making them go dim before heading towards the door with her pet following her. "Goodnight, my sweet girls. Sweet dreams."

"Goodnight Mommy../Night-night Mommy.." the twins yawn and finally fell asleep as their mother softly closed the door before heading to bed her self.

Their mother walked down the hallway with a soft smile on her face and came to a stop when she spotted a familiar dark brown haired male, leaning against the wall, waiting for his wife. Looking her way, he gave her a smile and did a small wave of hello with his hand.

The mother giggled and walked over to her husband. "When did you get back?" she asked him.

"A few minutes ago." he replied as he wrapped his arms around her waist and leaned down as their foreheads touched. "I didn't want to interrupt the bedtime stories you were telling them."

"Well aren't you sweet." she said with a smile as they kissed before letting go and walked to their bedroom. "Though they did asked when you were coming home, along with your brother. I was pretty sure that they were going to do a Search Party just looking for you guys."

"Those two..." the father sighed with a smile. "But you gotta love them."

"True. Just wait until they get older and they find someone else to worry about." the mother said, giggling at her own joke.

The father on the other hand froze from his spot before following his wife with a worried tone. "Honey....maybe don't say that to me right now....They're still my little girls..."

"Their our little girls, you silly protective father." the mother said before she let out a sigh. "So....how did it go?"

The father sighed as he lost his smile. "No...we almost figured out how to get back but it was another bust."

The mother frowned as her face cast down on the floor, her right hand gripped her left arm. "If....you do go back.......Are you going leave us....for good?"

Just as said that the husband slammed his hand against the wall where she was standing, making a loud noise that scared the poor woman and almost woke up the twins. The wife looked up to her husband and saw the look in his eyes, he gave her a blank stare that hold anger in them but it wasn't towards her it was to the question she said to him. The wife let out a shaky breath as her eyes widen from shock and a slight of fear from what just happened.
