At a small park on a small district in Glyphrock...
A young girl with cat (?) ear and fluffy tail wave her hand with full spirit and a high pitch tone, inviting kids around to come. Her ears twitched and fluffy tail wiggles.
"Come come~! Do you wanna hear a story~? I have an interesting story todaaay~!"
Interested with the girl's weird appearance and friendly demeanor, few kids started to gather around her. Seeing the spectator started to gather, the girl grins and started to tell her tale.
She takes few parchment on her hand, and with a hand wave, she started to draw on the paper. The kids were crowd with an awe since the girl didn't use any tool, yet there are simple pictures in colors on the paper now seen.
"So~so~! The story started in a faaaaaraway continent. Let's call it the Gap! The place was known for having a two very different temperature. One place is veeeeeery hot. While the other one is freeeeeeeziiing cold. Can you imagine?"
While showing the picture, the girl gives a bit hot and cold huff n puff toward the spectators. The kids was chattering excitedly and curiously feeling hot and cold at the same time, while wondering how the girl did that.
"There, from the hot place, there's a young girl, left away to survive by herself since she is unwanted by her family. At the same time, another young girl was left away to survive by herself at the cold freezing place."
"The two tried their best to survive, while struggling to move away, searching a place for themselves. Trying to stay awake everyday, try to find anything they can eat... U know those cheap cakes around here? Even that, they can't eat. Even to find water to drink is hard. Can you imagine how sad is that?"
The girl makes a sad expression to give the spectators a sad emotion as well. Some of the girl spectator cringes, some looks sad as if can't imagine the hardship.
"And just like all tale, these two girls meet at the middle. And they vow to become sisters and tries to survive together. While hoping one day, they can have a better life for the two of them. Or just mere can eat and drink."
The girl slowly make some small images of many kinds of food that the two girl might think on the story she told.
"One day, the girl from the cold place was sick! And the girl from the hot place tries hard to find something to eat to help her."
"BUUUUUTT!!! WHEN SHE WAS SEARCHING SOMETHING TO EAT!!! A BIG BIG BIG BAD WOLF SAW HER AND WAS GOING TO CATCH HER!!! GHRAOOOOO!!!"
The girl tries to mimic the sound of wolves and some of the kids squeak.
"But! This story won't end sad!"
"Just like a superhero, coming to save the day!!! SUDDENLY!!! A beautiful and strong traveler, come to help the little girl!!"
"With a swing of her halberd, as if she was dancing! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! In no time, the wolves was defeated!!!"
The girl tells the story while mimic the action scene on the story. Some of the kids cheering as if they were there to see the real event.
"Seeing the little girl, and hear the story of her and her sick sister, the beautiful traveler decided to took the two little girls with her."
"And from that on, the little girl finally have a new family, and travels around places. Seeing new places she never imagine before. And they live happily ever after~!"
The kids cheer as if sharing the same happiness with the girl in the story. After a few chatters and such, the crowd disperse.
"Next time, there will be another story~! Come again, 'kay~?" The girl waves cheerfully with a wide smile, while wiggling her tail happily. After all the kids are none to be seen, she sigh a bit and smiles while approaching the [donation box] she put for any payment from the kids.
Inside it, few candies and cookies can be seen. There is also flower. But no money in sight.
"Ha~h.. Today is cookies and candies again, huh...? Oh well... Better than nothing..."
The girl chuckles while take a seat resting and look at the sky. And the day goes on again...

And there she is.. Sitting with blank eyes.. Covered in blood red all over her.. And her dead parents in front of her.. As if covering her.. Not far from them, a dead monster can be seen.. On a part of its body, a dim [Shenyin mark] can be seen..
A white horse just stood near the little girl.. No one knows where that horse comes from.. It just stands there, as if protecting the girl..
No one know for sure what happened that day.. Only the [Gods] might know.. And maybe the little girl...

Nobody knows the truth behind the origin of the 인어 (In-eo) family. But there is one lore, which was told from generations inside the family.
Once, a mermaid was found unconscious and strangled by fisherman's net near the shore of the Joson Kingdom. A young minstrel who found her, helped the mermaid and release her. Without knowing, the mermaid then fall in love to the young guy. She then decided to come to land, losing her ability to swim, and help the young guy to slowly build his family into becoming a known noble family with her last power as a mermaid. As time goes by, they married and have a lot of descendants.
Seeing the sudden success of the young guy, there are few people who feels jealous and decided to take away the mermaid from the young guy. Those people force her to gave them wealth like the one she gave to the young guy. But the mermaid refused, and decided to jump to the sea, although she cannot swim anymore. Just as her body touches the sea, she turns into buble and cannot be found anymore.
It was said, after that the sea was raging, and the wrath caused the fishermans and the people who live around there suffer, due to unable to fishing to the sea.
Only until the minstrel go to near the sea, and plays a song, that the sea then becomes calm.
Ever since that day, the minstrel and his descendants, move to near the sea and built a shrine, and become a 무 (mu). The life as a 무 on that shrine become hereditary, even until now.
Nowaday, nobody believes this story, but the ritual is still continue. And it was also said, that once in the bloodline, there are offspring that has the blessing of the mermaid and the sea, which makes them able to breathe on the water. And the offspring will be the next shrine leader.
Is it true or false. Nobody knows. Only the people inside 인어 family knows.
---
Three young kids can be seen playing near the sea. A young girl with curly long black hair, a young boy, and another young girl with ponytail hair.
"Hmmm.. Hyeok-jae... Yoon-ah... Whatever happens, we'll always be together right? You two won't leave me right?" the girl with curly hair look at the other two with an unexplainable look.
"What are you you saying? That's obvious, Bo-Ah!" the ponytail haired girl stands up and puts her one of her hands on hip while the other hand pointing at the other girl.
"Yoon-ah's right. What are you saying? We will always be together. Whatever happens. Since we're the last bloodline of this family." the young boy nods with a serious look.
The curly haired girl just smiles while looking at the sea in front of them. "Ehehehe.. I know you two will always be there for me. No. We will always be there for each other"
"Yep! That's a promise, Bo-Ah!" the ponytail haired girl grabs the curly haired girl hand while her other hand holds the young boy's hand.
The three of them look at the sea. No one knows what plays on their mind at that time. But one thing for sure. That day, a bond was made.
---
Until recently, everything was the same in the 인어 (In-eo) family. Daily activities, praying for the shrine and the sea, practicing music and dance for ritual, and such. Although the family was a former known noble with a lot of wealth on the area, due to a disaster in the past which can't be said easily, what's left in the family was just a shrine near the sea. And what's left from the family was three youngsters: Bo-Ah, Yoon-ah, and Hyeok-jae. They promised to keep their family heritage, and make sure it won't perish. They don't care about others, as long as they can live together in peace.
No body outside the family know the specific reason, why suddenly they changed their decission and suddenly creates a performer group named Eseuem Enteoteinmeonteu. And starts to open toward the outworld.
Everything changes since that day. Since a specific mark was found on Bo-Ah's back. A palm sized mark with the shape of a butterfly wings, which at a glance looks like a normal mark. But then they realized, it's not a normal mark. It was the one called [Godmark].
At first, they don't know what to do. But somehow, they manage to cool their heads and decided on their next step: to find out what is [Godmark]. But it won't be a simple task for them.
All the member of the family then decides to mark their body part with the same but different mark like Bo-Ah, as a mark of vow that they were in this together.
Knowing all this time what they know was only to do ritual through dancing and perform musical instrument, they decided to make a traveling performer group. And thus, Eseuem Enteoteinmeonteu was build.
With new resolve in their heart, mind and body, the 인어 family continue their life with a brand new path.
---
A young girl with ponytail hair walk toward a young guy who seems busy with stacks of paper near him. It can't be helped, the newly formed performer group still needs a lot of thing to be taken care of.
"Hey, Hyeok-jae. How's the paperwork doing?" the young girl sits near the guy while looking at the pile of the paper. She take a peak at one of the paper, then put it back in an instance.
"Hmmmmmm? Still managable" the guy called Hyeok-jae answered while still focus on the paper in front of him.
"Hooooo..."
A silence can be feel for a while, before finally the girl decided to open her mouth once again.
"Hey, Hyeok-jae. I'm curious. Why did you name the group [Eseuem Enteoteinmeonteu]? I understand the [Enteoteinmeonteu] part, but what does [Eseuem] stands for?" she then look at Hyeok-jae with curious look.
Hyeok-jae just take a glance at the girl, before decided to stop with the paperwork for a while.
"It's [선녀와 (seonnyeowa)] and [물 (mul)]. [Fairy] and [Water]. To make sure we won't forget our ancestor and our lineage." the guy replied simply with a smirk.

Short Background
“…Once upon a time, there’s a wealthy noble from Grast who met a lady from Wiscouth on the land of Glyphrock.. At first they often have conflicts and hated one each other.. Until one day, they realized, they were so different, that in some way they complete each other… They fall in love to each other and decided to married…
But unfortunately for both of them, they can’t stay on where they belong… The nature lover Wiscouth lady was too barbaric for the wealthy Grast family taste… The wealthy Grast was too much for the nature lover Wiscouth… In despair, they decided to leave their hometown and move to another place, Serendiluminaric… Where there is still nature for the lady and the high culture was sufficient for the master…
And there, they start their new life together…”
---
Felicia was born on the midnight, where the starry sky of Serendiluminaric was seen brighter than ever. The [Panthera Tigris], [Felis Catus], and [Panthera Leo] constellation can be seen clearly seen on the sky of Felicia's hometown. That night, her father was confused, since a lot of cats come near their house when Felicia was in labor process, as if they were waiting for something. When the crying sound of Felicia was heard, almost all of the cats look at the constellation on the sky and in not for long, they leave.
Didn’t believe what he saw, her father told his wife about what happened. She asked if he was dreaming with a chuckle, but decided to check on Felicia with a help of her husband. They were startled to find Felicia on her cradle was being watched by a big white shadow shaping like a tiger. But it doesn’t look hostile at all, in fact the white tiger seems like it was looking at a tiger cub with full of love. And in no time, the shadow disappeared leaving Felicia alone.
Since Felicia’s mother was from Wiscouth where superstitious and spirit is a common knowledge, she thinks that maybe Felicia’s guardian spirit was a tiger. There, they named her Felicia Faye.
After the night of her birth, her mother asks a half-elf druid who lives not far from them to teach Felicia, since she thought that might be the perfect path for Felicia. The lady druid at first reluctant to teach Felicia, but after some time, she decided to accept Felicia as her disciple. From her Felicia learn about nature, and especially herbs.
And in no time, with the love from everyone around her, Felicia grew as a cheerful and curious girl. She often goes everywhere accompanied by her companion, a white cat which she named Lune. She loves to go outside, play with anyone she sees, or maybe sometimes do some pranks to the maids, enjoying her life to the fullest.
Besides of her druid teaching, she also learns about stuffs from her parent. She specially loves to hear tales from her parents, especially about Glyphrock. About how a lot of people can meet in one place, and how there’s a lot of different kind of food there. Ever since she heard about it, Felicia always dreamt to go to Glyphrock. She always love her mother’s cooking and loves cooking herself. But she was curious on what kind of different taste out there. Especially about 1 taste that her mother often said, “All food will taste even tastier if you eat it with someone you love.” Usually Felicia didn’t think much about that, since her parents will go lovey-dovey and forget about her. But in the end, they will always say the same, “One day you will go there”.
And her parents were right.
---
Everything was so fast. It was supposed to be her 14th birthday that night. They were supposed to have a feast together and have a family chat as usual. Talking about stuffs and maybe about Glyphrock, this ended up with the lovey-dovey scene. Yes, it was supposed to be that way.
But when Felicia goes back from her usual activities that night, what waits her was only food on the table, and her parent’s friend. Who look at her with a sad face. Felicia didn’t understand at first what was happening. But it didn’t need long time to find out that her parents were dead, due to an accident.
Feeling devastated, she can’t even cry. She only sits with a blank eye on her room. She didn’t even come to the burial of her parents. Days passes, and Felicia stays the same. Not going to eat anything, not even sleep, just blankly starring. Lune can only sit at her side, accompany her.
One day, her ‘teacher’ finally decided to check on Felicia. Seeing Felicia’s condition, she thinks, this can’t go on like this. With the help of the maids, they make a dish which Felicia’s mother usually made. Sniffing the scent of her mother’s food, reflect, Felicia walks toward the source in a way hoping there’s her parent there standing waiting for her. But unfortunately, hope is just a hope. That’s the first time; Felica accepted that her parents have already left her. And it’s also the first time, she cries.
The food taste saltier that day.
Slowly, Felicia regains her health and her cheerfulness. She begins to stand on her feet once again. Seeing Felicia back in her former condition, the maids and her teacher were glad.
One day, Felicia decided to enter her parents room, after for a long time she didn’t touch it, since a lot of memory was there. She found a box on the cabinet with a card tag written by her mother, “For Felicia”. She read the backside of the tag, “Happy birthday”, and opened the box. Inside was a simple letter, an enrollment acceptance from Pan Didactherion Academy, the academy in Glyphrock, the city where her parents met. And she remembered her parents words back then, “One day you will go there”.
And that’s the second time Felicia cried.
After say goodbye to her parents grave, all preparations done and things packed, Felicia decided to go to Glyphrock. Leaving the house to the maids and Lune to her teacher to take care, since she’s not sure if Lune will be ok if she was brought out the forest. And with that, Felicia send farewell to her hometown, and brace for new adventure.
Glyphrock is just like what her parents said. Full of colors and full of scent she never smells before. She was so curious, and overwhelmed, to the point of she didn’t realize there are cats running near her, like something bad is going to happen. And it happened. The Cataclysm strike Glyphrock, and Felicia was fall headfirst, and loose her consciousness.
She woke up because a cat licks her face. And when she woke up, she was caught by another overwhelmed feeling…
“Where am I…?”
---
Don't know how long time has passed after the Cataclysm… Nothing seems to get better; in fact it goes worse… Her supplies are running thin... But Felicia believe there must be a way to make everything goes better…
Then, she heard about Frontier United Navigators, and about the chance to see unknown places, her curiosity wins. Hoping to help people while finding and tasting new taste, Felicia decide to join FUN...

Short Background
It was moonless night, when the two ladies across the prairies on the Arabica area, trying to get their way as far as they can from Robusta. Their shadow blends in the darkness of night. With a glimpse, although they’re using traveler’s outfit, everyone can easily see that those two ladies came from a different background. One looks like a lady from a noble born, while the others look like a normal peasant. If they were just running without bringing any belongings, people might think that they’re just on their way to chase some caravan or such. But there is something looks unplaced on those ladies. Both of them are carrying a bundled baby. Two baby girls.
Those two babies didn’t seem too bothered by their carriers, who are running with all their might. They’re sleeping like they were enchanted by a spell. Both of them look the same yet different in a way, one with a black-brownish hair, yet the others brownish-red hair. Looks like they were just born few days ago. An identical yet different color jade necklace was hanging on both of the baby’s neck, a bit loose. One with a green jade pendant, one with a red jade pendant.
“Miss Aaliyah.. I guess, we just escaped from the guards..,” with a panting sound, the peasant lady looked at the noble lady. “I guess so, Shira,” said the noble lady while still trying to observe around. After sure it’s safe, she looks at the baby she’s holding, still sleeping peacefully. “..Is it okay.. If we separate them..? They were twins after all,” she murmured while staring at the sleeping baby on her hand. “It’s the best, Miss Aaliyah. They won’t find it if they were separated..” Shira answered.
Aaliyah just looked at the baby Shira hold on, and softly stroke the baby’s cheek. “My daughters.. I’m sorry.. I have to do this..” with a bit faltered voice. “Don’t worry, Miss Aaliyah. I will take care of Miss Yakira.” Shira tried to answer in confidence to make sure her mistress feel better. Hearing Shira’s words, with a heavy heart, she nods.
“Then.. We shall meet.. 10.. No.. 20 years from now.. On Helionster, Shira..” Aaliyah tried to speak with all her might to sounds strong, but still she ended talk faltered. But Shira understood and she just nods, fastened her hug toward the baby she holds.
“Take care, Miss Aaliyah,” she said with a sad smile. A slight deep bow and she turned her body to face east, and run her might.
Aaliyah can only watch Shira’s figure slowly dissolved by the darkness of the night. And finally, she can’t see Shira’s figure at all, living her alone in the darkness night.

It was raining on Arvandar forest near Eldant that day. It’s like the sky is crying all their might, and spend all of the tears it has and pour it. Although the rain is so hard, somehow there’s a sweet scent of flower around. Where it comes, nobody knows. Only God knows how and why it happens, but it happens. Maybe it can be said that it is fate.
Eillia was just waked up from one of her sleepless night. She can’t sleep well these days. Not after she realized the baby she and her husband waiting for years has died due to her miscarriage. She keeps on crying and blaming herself, and slowly her health has gone from her body. Once she was a healthy and one of the most beautiful elves in the forest where she live. But now, her frustration has leave sadness marks on her once beautiful flawless face.
This morning, she woke up without even understand why she woke up. Looking at the sky, she blamed the rain for disturbing her sleep. Her husband, Ridlar, was not around at that time. Maybe he’s out hunting to find something to eat for both of them.
When she was going to sleep again, she realizes there’s a sweet scent of flower floating in the air. A sweet scent she never smells. And suddenly Eillia heard a faint crying sound. A baby’s cry. At first, she thought it’s just her hallucination, due to her frustration for her miscarriage. But after some few moments, the crying sound didn’t stop. So it might be real. Trying to make sure where is the source of the crying sound, she tried to peak outside.
And there it is.
Under the pouring rain. A baby. Crying hard. Trying to ask for help, with all its might. Beside the baby there’s a body of a human. Looks like a woman. Somehow, she didn’t look moving.
Eillia decided to go near the baby and the woman. Although she is an elf and didn’t like that much to get involved with another races, her healer instinct make her do so. She tried to check on the lady, but it was too late. The lady has died due to exhausted. And somehow, few battle scars on her back.
The baby was not wounded at all. But due to prolonged exposure to rain, the body temperature increase into fever. It might be fatal if not hurriedly cured.
As fast as she can, Eillia brought the baby to her house, and also put the dead lady not far from her house. She tends the baby and found out that it’s a baby girl. On her neck, there’s a red jade necklace with a name written on it: [Yakira]. She took the necklace and try to examine the necklace, and instead found a scribble written on the back of the necklace’s pendant: [May this girl grow into someone who resembles a tiger who can leap anywhere she want with her own strength].
Seeing the sleeping baby who feels safer after tend by Eillia, Eillia can only smiles sadly and suddenly remember her own unborn baby. She hold the baby and think, maybe she is a gift from God to heal her heart from losing her baby. She decides to take the baby and raise the baby as her own daughter.
When Ridlar come back home, he’s shocked to find a baby human at his house. At first he is hesitated not to take the baby. But, after seeing his wife becoming happier after the baby came, he decided to accept the baby as his own daughter.
And so, they name her [Selor], just as the day when she was found, full of flowery scent.
---
The difference of time of human and elves are indeed far. Without even recognizing, when Eillia think it’s just a blink of her eye, Selor has become a grown 17 years old lady. Raised into a girl who loved nature and close to animals which often come by near her house.
Although being a human, doesn’t mean she’s weaker than the other elves around her. Thanks to her father’s teachings, she can be the same like the others. Although, still, whatever she does, and how perfect she did it, she will still be different than the others. She’s not an elf.
Her parents also looked by other elves, since they brought and raised a human baby, which is uncommon. But her parents didn’t listen to the others and keep raising Selor with love.
Although she is a human, Selor was raised with a pride of an elf. She even somehow hated human, due to stories she heard from other elves on how human destroys forests and nature. Day by day, those feeling get stronger and in the end makes her think that she hated human. But her parent keep on remind her that hatred can only bring trouble, so she tries to suppress those feelings, but still keep a portion of it on her deepest heart.
On her 17th birthday, Selor has become a grown beautiful lady, which can compete with the beauty of elves. Although she didn’t care about it, but some people do care about it. Somehow few male elves starting to come close to her and few female elves started to act harsh to her. But she didn’t mind, since she already that kind of attitude since she was a kid. One of the male elves who started to come closer to her is Gaelvar Maerntylar, the son of the leader of the elven clan where Selor lives.
Gaelvar Maerntylar was a handsome young male elf. Although he’s the leader’s son, doesn’t mean he’s a snobbish good for nothing guy. His long beautiful blonde hair and slim yet strong and handsome face has smitten a lot of female elves. His ability to archer and to hunt also recognized as one of the best on the clan. Everyone has agree that he will be perfect as the next successor as the clan leader.
At first, no one cares about their relationship. Not even Selor, since she never think of anything romantically. She only cares about her animal friends in the forest, the forest cats. For her, Gaelvar is no more than a childhood friend who she can rely on during hunting. But somehow, day after day, Gaelvar starting to get more and more often getting closer to Selor. And he started to show his affection toward Selor, which makes Gaelvar’s father upset.
Although Selor is a strong lady, and can show that she’s not weaker than the other elves, she’s still a human. Not an elf. Gaelvar’s father wants a perfect elven lady as Gaelvar’s partner in life. And Selor is not in the equation.
And also, the closeness between Gaelvar and Selor starting to bring jealousy toward few female elves on the clan. Once, during a hunting event, few of the female elves tried to get rid of Selor but ended fail. Although, it leaves a wound mark on Selor’s right eye. Selor didn’t care about the accident and keep on continuing her life as it is before.
But that’s not OK for Gaelvar’s father. He asked Ridlar and Eillia to expel Selor from the clan, since she caused problem and might caused even more problem in the future. At first, Eillia was furious about the request and said she didn’t want to do what the clan’s leader said. But Ridlar tried to calm Eillia down and talked the situation to Selor.
At first, Selor didn’t understand the situation. But after explained few times, she finally understands that she must go. Or she might bring trouble to her parents.
So, after having her 19th birthday, she departs from Arvandar forest, and walk toward Helionster. Accompanied by Eillia’s tears, Selor decided to walk out of the forest and go to civilization where she was meant to be. As a human.
Before her leave, Eillia gave her the necklace which was on Selor’s neck when she was a baby. She also gave a journal which was on the dead lady’s bag to Selor. And from the journal, Selor found a name which she decides to be her first point of journey, Golden Wing Guild.
And so, her journey toward civilization starts.
---
It’s been days from her first steps departing from Arvandar forest. In front of her was a big building, with a name written on it.
Golden Wings Guild.
While remembering her days on Arvandar forest, Selor closed her eyes. And with a nod, she walks with confidence and entered the guild. A red pendant necklace reflected sunlight hangs nicely on her neck.
And with this.. Her journey as a human.. Begin..

short background
Solmefreyr or usually called as Freyja was born as the first daughter of the leader of the Seaport Maritime and Agriculture Coastal Kingdom. The leader was expecting for a baby boy to be his heir, but instead, Freyja was born. But that didn’t stop him to raise Freyja as a tough woman. From the age of 3, she was told to get close to the sea, which is the main support of the kingdom. Since the blood of Aquatic Elf is flowing inside her, it takes no time until sea become the second home for Freyja, and the sailors around there become the second family for her.
Ever since she was a kid, Freyja always look at her father. He might be the leader of Seaport, but in seaport, the leader has to be close to his people, which make Freyja’s father always comes to the sea with the other sailors just like everyone else. This attitude was the one Freyja imitate, which makes her prefer to blend with everyone, which might be a bit different than her sisters from other mothers. She loves to mingle with the sailors, and listen to their stories. About the vast blue sea, the fish, and especially the Atlantis. Her mother also often told her the story of Atlantis back when she was a kid. She once said that, once her ancestor was from there, although it was then said that it’s just a myth, since there is no exact proof nor documentations. Those stories were the one that sparks the hunger of adventure to small Freyja. And those stories were one of the memento from her mother she cherished so much, even after she’s gone.
Since her brother born when she’s 10 years old, the title of the ‘heir’ was given to her brother, which makes her even ‘free’, or so she thought. On her 16th birthday, suddenly her father started to push her to accept wedding proposals, the her displease. Since then, she started to run away from those marriage proposals, or just simply ruin them. But her father didn’t give up.
Just when the 7th wedding proposal was received, Freyja heard an information or perhaps to be more precise, a rumor, regarding Voyage Order Campaign and their plans to go to the unknown, with the goal is the Atlantis. Remembering her childhood dreams, her curiosity and hunger of adventure wins. She decided to run away from home, take the stuffs she can bring, as well bring her mother’s halberd, and just go. Only leaving a message behind for not searching her.
And with that… Her adventure begins…

Nobody knows how Seaport Maritime and Agriculture Coastal Kingdom starts, but it was said that once there’s a young sailor who falls in love with a beautiful water elf who was known come from a place called Atlantis. Then both of them married, and built Seaport. Slowly but sure, Seaport grow into a kingdom on the coastal, like it was known now. Is it true or not, nobody knows, since almost all the documents from the past was gone already, and although it’s not sure that the royal blood really has Elven blood or not, but their love toward sea was true…
Ever since everyone can remember, the leader of the kingdom was always a sailor. And the current leader, Oberon Ondrej Toirdhealbhach, as well. He was known among the kingdom as one of the best sailor in his time. He also known for his ‘unique’ family. Although he is known for a loyal guy toward his wife, somehow he ended up having 6 wives (which comes from different races, two are known elves, while the others are said humans), and also rumored to have an illegitimate child on the slums. It’s a big question mark on how that happened, but nobody dares to ask.
At first, his heir was supposed to be his eldest daughter, from one of her elven wife. But after his 6th daughter, he finally has a son (and another 6 daughters after that), which then said to be the next heir to the throne.
short background
Melody Claire-Anette is a small girl born in a small village in the South-East area of Silvarion. The village is a small village where almost all of the people there are half-breeds, except maybe for Melody’s grandparents who she lives with during her childhood.
Melody lives with her parents only until she was 3 years old. When Melody was 1 years old, her father left the family for a reason which no one knows; 3 years old, her mother left the family, feel she want to get back her freedom as a woman leaving her daughter and son, which then taken care by her parents; 5 years old, her brother, Erik, leave the family to pursue his dream to see the world.
Melody looks resembles an elf, since her Elf blood is thicker than the usual half Elf-half human due to her half-Elf parents. Her hair is red like terracotta, but her eyes are ‘special’. Her eyes resemble her parent’s eyes, the right one is green like an emerald, and the left one is blue like a sapphire. Melody was a cheerful, strong-willed, and lively small girl. Every day, you can see her running around, playing with animals, laughing, bullying the other kid, chatter with the neighbor, and so on. It’s just like she was the happiest girl in the world. She was. Once.
When Melody was 10 years old, an accident occurred and changed her life. Nobody knows for sure what happened. All they know, due to her bruises, she was almost ‘raped’ but runaway and fell. But nobody knows who the one who did it. Luckily, a Halfling who accidentally walks near the Melody’s fell place hear her scream and found her. She was a cleric of Sarenrae. Melody, who was shocked due to the accident, changed into a completely different person. It’s like, she forget what happened completely. Since that day, she never smiles, never talks, nothing. She just sits still like a living expressionless statue.
The cleric, thought founding her was a fate, decided to help Melody. Slowly but sure, time goes by. Melody starts to talk again, although due to her trauma, she can only speak slowly.. When she was 13 years old. Slowly, she regains her composure. But still, she never smiles again. Not until her 15th birthday where the cleric decided to leave the village, after seeing Melody can survive by herself, and reminded that she herself has another task to do. The cleric’s last wish was to see Melody smile again, and so she started to learn how to smile.
After the leave of the cleric, Melody decided to learn how to be a cleric of Sarenrae.
Without Melody knowing, sometimes, when she became stressed out, her ‘old’ self comes out. But Melody never knows about this, and anyone who sees this, was forced, by the other her, to not say it to her. So, sometimes Melody curious why people stare at her with a strange face.
When she was 22 years old, she got a message from her brother, Erik, about the whereabouts of their mother. She finally decided to go to find out, why her mother left them and go to Helionster. And her journey begans…

"Dear Grandma and Grandpa,
I'm very sorry for leaving without any announcement before. But I have to go as soon as I hear the news, so I can only inform both of you through this letter.
Remember when brother Erik leave the house to find for mom's whereabouts few years ago? Brother didn't tell me where he will go and he didn't send me any letter about his wherebaout as well since then. Well, I received a news from uncle fruit seller who live nearby that he saw mom and brother at the main town few weeks ago, when he go to town to sell his fruits. Although he can't talk with them, he said it is them. Although he said about some guild.. Fried Wings or Chicken Wing or Wing something.. I didn't remember.. But don't worry! I will ask the main town people when I arrived!
I know, I haven't seen mom from years ago, so I might didn't recognize mom. But, I still remember brother's face, so I hope it's okay. The main town won't be much different with the village right? I hope I won't get lost.
Wish me good luck. grandpa, grandma! Don't worry! I will always remember your warnings about bad person who sell girls to another area in the main town. I won't get deceived easily!
Take care, grandpa, grandma. Please take care my goldfish for me. See you soon!
Love, Melody"
