Just as told at midnight in front of the clock tower all three of us met with cloaks to hide our identity.

We secretly went through hallways leading to the place hiding the the kings tree that would give us the sacred seeds .

Through the passages mel begins to whisperer to me " I've never had a chance to ask but what kind of people do you want to make your civilians ? What kind of economy do you want in your dream kingdom " mel asks out of curiosity. Sam turns her head a bit also curious of her question.

" I don't want to name any nobles . I will build a country from nothing with just my loyal partners and we will create a kingdom of opportunities. I will take in the children and people suffering property , or-fens , commoners . All those who didn't have a chance at life will at my kingdom . We will all work together to build a kingdom better then others . Everyone will have the opportunity to show to school and own their homes . I aspire to build a nation of freedom filled with opportunities and trade . And trust me I know I will I've been making preparations " I say with determination. Even if it takes my my entire life I want to leave something behind for this world . I want to be remembered.

" you mean to tell me you actually believe you can build a nation from nothing ?!" Sam says in disbelief.

" in this world strength and money give you the power to do anything . I will build that nation even if kills me " I say as my eyebrows scrunch . Sam looks at me with compassion. I may sound like a child bickering but I know for a fact this is something I want to accomplish .

We run through hallways until we come face to face with a big door . " okay its time for the plan mel come with me and angel wait out at the door and tell us if anybody is coming . " sam says quietly . She decided to take mel because of her illusion magic and just Incase someone came for them . I truly admire sam for wanting to share the gift of the sacred seeds with everyone so I must help her .

I nod and we all go out ways I run to the entrance and hide in the shadows waiting to spot anyone and if I did I would have to knock them out flat no one can know about what was happening here . I looked down at the huge city  from the tallest tower at the the prosperous city because of the kings tree if those fruits were planted in her kingdom it would flourish and many kinds of new fruits would be discovered. As she looked at the town by the clock tower she noticed a frail figure dragging her bare feet on the pavement of the ground no older than two looked down at the floor .

Her long curly black hair glittered in the moonlight as it almost reached the ground but what most glittered were her tears and sad eyes . The child looked up at the moon and her bright gold eyes only showed sadness as her tears fell from her dirt covered cheeks . It was almost impossible not to notice this young child had been abandoned by those who used to care for her and she was alone in the world .

The child eyes looked at the moon as she collapsed on her knees and I watch as my heart felt pity . " gods why have you given me this life if it only has turned into a curse . " she rubbed her eyes and sat their crying . How could a young child speak so perfectly ? Was she also reincarnated or is this pure talent ? She later there crying her life away the gods clearly put her here so I could take her under my wing . I leap from the tower and walk out of a shadow . I slowly walk to her and I notice she exceptionally small and frail . Her knees are all scraped Along with dirt and ripping clothes . However her skin pale and shiny like those of Models . Her eyes gold with thick long eyelashes girls would die for , along with her curly black hair which looks so soft and long . But what catches my attention most is the crest of half a moon on her forehead , this child would probably grow up to be a world class beauty . I blink as I stare at her and she looks up at my with her sorrow filled eyes . I feel my heart melt and smile genuinely I take out a flower from which I picked this morning and slowly walk towards her .

I sit in front of her and smile as I hand her the flower . She stares at it and then me with her big confused eyes with tears at its side . After a while she gently takes it and sniffs to hold back tears .

Luna in the future

" you know you should treasure you life more . Even if it's bad you should always look forward ." I say as I look at her with a smile. A tear falls down one of her cheeks and she hold the flower with both hands . " It's just the people I most loved in my family take me as a curse and I'm no longer welcome anywhere here . I don't have any reason to keep living ." She says as she looks down at the flower . Somehow this child reminds me of myself my past life . I can't help but have a sweet spot in my heart for her .

I open my hand and hand it to her . " if you don't have any meaning in your life come with me . I may not be able to replace those you loved but I'll make you happy " I say with a tender smile . She looks at me shocked before her little trembling hand takes ahold of mine and she looks up at me . Her eyes sparkle showing how thankful she is as her tears fall
" T-thank you miss" She says as she takes hold .

I hear noises in the background and quickly turn to see mel and sam with a red bag . Both wearing masks letting me know to put mine on . I place it on quickly and hide the child in my cape caressing her in a hug . If there wearing their masks they must have been caught . " grab on tight and don't look outside okayyy " I whisper to the child in my embrace . As mel and sam run to me I can see many guards behind them with ears and armor . This isn't good ! " plan B " I yell as spead my wings . As I do mel spreads her large wings and takes ahold of Sam . We soar through the sky and look down at the shocked guards . Who wouldn't be surprised after seeing a pair of wings clear as sky which you could see through and huge fairy wings which hadn't been seen in decades .

As we fly I could feel the child's grip on my get tighter . She must be scared . I smile as I feel a connection to her . This child here will be my little sister .

As we fly for hours we eventually get to the portal . Sam looks at us shocked " when you two said you had wings I didn't believe it it's been ages since I've seen people from the outside it's amazing !" Sam yells as she looks at us both . I smile as I reveal the child in my arms . They both look at me in shock . " who is she ?" Mel asks as she stares at the child in my arms . I place her down gently as I squat to let her touch the ground . In this form I look much older . " what is your name ?" I ask with a smile . She looks at her hands as she fidgets under the haze of us three .

" I don't have a name ..." she says in a sad tone . " well if you don't have a mam ewe will just call you Luna ! Luna means moon in Spanish and that crest in your forehead is a half moon it suits you well " I say as I speak to her . Both mel and sam look at me surprised as I'm always the more quite type and one to nit make rash decisions but here I am with a child they don't even know . Luna looks at me and smiles lightly " thank you I really like it ." She says in a low voice . I turn to mel and sam and stand behind Luna holding her shoulders " this is Luna nojaki I present you my new little sister " I say with a grin . Both of the mouths almost touch the ground .

" you can't just name someone and adopt them like nothing where's the paperwork ?!"
"Are you even prepared to take care of a child it's a lot of work ?!"
" have you thought about what your parents would think after you run off and come back with a little sister ?!"
" do you think everything is as easy as this "
" are you planning on taking her back to your family ?"

Both mel and sam begin to lecture me and I take a deep breath before turning serious " listen ! I usually don't take rash decisions but I know for a fact I made the right decision today ! Until further notice this child will join us on our journey ! " I say in a dominating and serious tone . Both quiet down and I sigh as I look down at the nervous Luna . She may be a small frail child but I have a feeling in the future she will be someone great . I grab Luna's hand and turn to the portal . " let's get out of here " I say before going through the portal .
