It was a beautiful day. The large rings encompassing the planet were spinning at a lazy rate, generating a force field to protect it from the war outside. Though the base was not Altea, it was built to replicate the beauty of the home planet.

A small square opens in the force field and through it flies a small space craft. The ship zips down to the surface before landing just on the outskirts of a farm, in a large field of juniberry flowers. Inside the ship, an altean girl with red hair and green marks takes a shaky breath, pressing her gloved hand up against the glass of the window. Her eyes filled with worry and the slightest hint of fear.

A large hand is placed on her shoulder and the girl looks up. A man with white hair and light blue marks smiles kindly at her. Do not worry, Ginevra. I will protect your siblings in your stead.

This seem to somewhat reassure the girl, and she takes one more deep breath before scanning her hand and opening the door. Stepping out into the fresh air, she takes in the view. The flowers, notably her favorites, were swaying in the slight breeze and the farm animals were milling about. Ginevra's stomach does a slight flip at the sight of her home, a sense of longing replacing her fear.

Ginni! Two small voices shout in sync, shattering the peace. Ginevra grins from ear to ear, running through the field towards two figures, also running in her direction. When she finally reaches them, she crouches down and takes the two in her arms.

I missed you two, she whispers to them.

The three stay like that for a moment before they hear a gasp come from behind them. Ginevra stands, still holding the children's hands, and turns to face her companions. The man with white hair was walking towards them holding the hand of a child of his own. The young boy looked like an exact replica of his father, with his white hair and light blue marks. The only difference was the look in his eyes. He was looking around with wonder and excitement, taking in the beautiful scenery with awe.

As the man approached the trio the two children hid behind Ginevra, nervous towards the newcomer. He simply smiles kindly and stops a few feet away.

Your majesty, I would like you to meet my little siblings, Titi and Coran. Ginevra introduces her brother and sister, who are still huddled behind her. The mans eyes crinkle as he crouches down to their eye level. Hello Coran, Titi.

Seeing they were getting nowhere, Ginevra turned looked down at the two and smiled at them gently. This is the king of Altea. Youre going to go with him while I go on another mission, okay? The two children turn their skeptical eyes from the king to their older sister, and back again. She sighs and looks to the king for help. There is no need though, as his son bounces forward and grabs Corans hand with one of his own, and then Titis with his other hand.

Hi, Im Alfor, he says, shaking their hands, What are your names?

Titi blushes slightly, nervous around this energetic boy, but he has the opposite effect on her twin. Corans eyes seem to sparkle as he shakes back. Im Coran, and this is my sister Titi!

Alfor grins and starts dragging the two towards the center of the meadow. Come on, let go play! All three of the children run to the flowers and begin chasing each other around, giggling and shrieking in delight. A sad smile makes its way to Ginevras face as well as the king's as they watch the three, thinking of how hard the future will be for the children playing in the flowers.

The children's paths will be rough. My wife has foreseen how where they will wind up, as is her ability. They will do well by us, though. The crinkles around the kings eyes deepen even further as a large, prideful smile makes its way to his face. They will pave the way to a new, peaceful era.
