,, My child,
When I was little and believed in fairy tales, my grandmother told me a story. I was so enchanted by this story that I dreamed of it every night. She died on the first full moon after the winter night and I began to believe the story again. At the age of 32 I let them come true in my heart and started looking for ''

The torn sheet lay gently in her hand. She looked at it carefully and finally folded it up again. Carefully she put the little sheet of paper in her pocket. She lay down in the damp grass in the morning and stared at the still dark blue sky. The clouds moved on. It almost seemed as if they were touching the horizon. She held out her hand to the rising sun and tried to drive the clouds away. A couple of kites flew by, pulling the clouds away from the sun.

Xion began to say goodbye to her family early in the morning, because she won't be leaving in an hour. She is on her way to the St. Magdalena monastery to get a few more books. On her way she meets the familiar faces of Old City and nods politely to them. After she has everything she needs together, she makes her way to the beach. There she stands for a while and looks at the sea. She would miss this place. She slowly makes her way to the harbor with her light pastries. A small boat would take them across the sea and bring them to the mainland of Oras. She looks over her shoulder one more time and gets into the boat. When the sun is at its highest point, it arrives on the other side of Koufuku Bay. Xion politely thanks the boat driver and admires the nature. The beautiful intense green of the forest and the turquoise sea shine even more beautifully in the midday sun. She brushes her hair back and begins to strut the path through the enchanting forest. Her ancient ways bring something familiar to the forest. The twittering of the birds that nestle in the treetops and the sound of a flowing brook calm the young wandering sun.

The wind blows through her hair and flies in her face. The blue sky is covered with white clouds. She does a few laps in the mountains of Greymount and watches the hard-working farmers doing their work in the warm spring heat. You can already see small sprouts growing out of the damp earth. She flies towards the big cave, in which there is a huge city. Wind City was built on the ceiling of the cave because the underground is covered by water. There are also a few houses at the entrance to the cave, including Resas. She flies to the so-called landing area, which is right in front of her house. Her mother is standing next to the arrival point washing a little baby kite.Resa caresses the tail of fire and it flies back into the vastness of the sky.
Ilium wanders through the big city and looks around for the next flight to the Greymount Mountains. He has decided to leave the city and visit Oras. He would like to once again admire the cities that his grandmother showed him. When he reached a large plateau, he sat down on a small bench. Ilium stares at the sky and watches the clouds. From here he can see the Greymount Mountains and the huge lake below. After a few minutes a man comes to him and explains to Ilium that he was late and that the last plane has already left. He sighs and is about to leave when a girl holds on to him: “Are you looking for an opportunity to fly? ''. He turns and looks the girl in the eyes, confused. She points to the sky and says: "I have a kite that can bring us down". She laughs and he is still staring at her in confusion. He slowly begins to nod and asks: “Where are you going? '' ,, To Old City. But I can drop you off somewhere, '' she replies and smiles at him.

The many rich people quickly scurry into the big top so as not to miss the performance. Some push forward so they can see everything. The women covered with jewelry wear elegant evening dresses and the rich men accompany them with their suits. The rich whisper and joke about the circus people. When the lights go out and a spotlight shines in the dark in front, they stop and watch what is happening. A man in a red suit steps into the beam of light and bows: “Ladies and gentlemen of River City. I warmly welcome you to our presentation today. "He puts his hands in the air," Let's begin. I wish you a nice demonstration! '' He leaves the so-called stage and a petite girl in a kimono comes into the room. She brushes her blonde hair back and lifts one leg back so that her foot is on her shoulder. She gives it down and does a few simple exercises. Then she goes into a bridge and slowly sticks her head out between her legs. She stands up and bows to the curious onlookers. The rich ladies eyed the skinny girl and looked at her with their mouths open. A young man appears next to the girl and leads her off the stage. He comes back with a couple of knives and the ringmaster put up a blackboard. A pretty woman is tied to this board. The knife thrower ties a cloth around his eyes and throws the knives in the direction of the board, which is slowly turned. His performance is perfect and the lady comes down safely. He bows to the crowd and disappeared behind the scenes.
"How was your performance, Raven? '' asks the blonde girl. "As always perfect, my dear sister," he replies and begins to change.Daria holds out his things and he takes them with a smile: “Thank you. Are you ready for a night out in the bars of River City? '' She smiles: 'Yes, of course! ''

She quietly sneaks out of the house and follows the small path along the water. The sounds of the waterfalls in the background obscure their steps. She lights a small candle to better follow the path. Sometimes she trips over the stones and ends up in the water. She wanted to leave the city, which was right by the sea, without her father or brother noticing. When she is far enough from Water City, she lies down in the meadow with her wet clothes and watches the stars in the sky. There was almost no cloud to be seen and sometimes Sasha catches sight of the great shadow of a dragon. She stretches in the grass and tries to fall asleep, but fails. She feels guilty about disappearing from home just like that. She ponders for a long time whether to turn back, but when she sees the first rays of sunshine on the horizon, she knows it's too late. Sasha gets up and walks towards the sun and hopes to hit a street or a small village soon. Your first destination is Frozen City, the capital of Oras.
