📍 Saturnal, Fairy Realm
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXmDLLltp5
It was a fire accident.
The flames devoured the town of Saturnal, turning once-happy homes into ashes. Many fairies and their families were still trapped inside. My friends and I - I'm Lumi - were doing our best to save as many as we could.

Yes, I know what you're thinking - how did a little dream-giving fairy end up becoming a Hamserald Guardian?
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt04MNr0L50
Well, once I reached the age to enter fairy college, the Elderly Council saw something in me - something more than just a giver of dreams. They recommended me to join the Hamseralds, the guardians of the entire Fairy Realm.
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ievFvzJf4
I was trained by the best, sent on many extraction missions across all corners of the realm. Now, I have my own team. Not just teammates, but my friends... my family.
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1JdefUKVx
Today, we were on a mission to track down a former Hamserald Guardian. We didn't know much about him - just a name, a location, and one old photo. When we reached his last known location, all we found was fire.
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6eLebVxs2K
The town was in chaos. Buildings collapsed. Children cried. We jumped into action to rescue the trapped.
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYlni7NaXd
That's when I saw him.
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0R1NJqEKJ
A man in a brown hood sprinted into an old cottage - already engulfed in flames. That was the man we were looking for. I had no idea what made him risk his life like that. But something told me... it was important.
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0aimiao4rs
I followed him in. The fire roared like a beast, choking the air.
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSe6cFKWWut
Then - a loud crack.
A cupboard crashed down onto the man. He fell, unconscious.
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnvv8lk93p
I summoned strength through my magical knuckles, broke the cupboard apart, and pulled him out. He was fainted... but still clutched something tightly in his hands.
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwiSHOLPio
A small wooden box.
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLrmCxICaG
We saved many that day. The man was brought to the Fairy Hospital, where the doctor told us he would recover - but needed hours of rest.
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIjvMN4zjS
She handed me the box and said,
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPOFwkCkyL
> "He risked his life for this. It must mean something."
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGnj2fsSqx
I opened it carefully.
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LUcR3fLzu
Inside, I found an old journal and a small wooden dragon toy. The cover of the journal read:
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjVfCZ4li6
> "One Day"
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡan9GdwuHFm
I turned to the first page.

> This is a journal written by me. My name is Galoth. I was once a Hamserald Guardian. If someone is reading this, it means I am either dead... or very badly injured.
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAJb5ATYUq

It was a night painted with silver stars. But the most beautiful thing above was the Blue Moon - glowing brighter than ever, casting its sapphire light across Asmerald.
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokfJ86b9OG
I was nervous. My heart was racing.
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSibM3TfjEh
My wife, Julina, was in the emergency ward. She was about to give birth - our first child. I prayed to every deity I knew. I couldn't sit. I couldn't breathe.
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9bOQ8AVco
Then... exactly at 11:59 PM, I heard it.
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwE9KYoEjZW
A baby's cry.
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFKx4XT4qw
The fairy doctor came out and smiled,
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomCO5CML0Z
> "Congratulations, Mr. Galoth. You are now the father of a beautiful baby girl. Both mother and child are perfectly fine."
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsVjvKZLgO
Tears filled my eyes. Joy. Relief. Everything.
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiohuyCQ6Pr
Outside the hospital stood a statue - The Angel of Asmerald. Legends say those who pray to her are always blessed. I stood before her, hands together, and thanked her for giving me someone new to love.
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXw4QIeNBMK
Just then, another man stood beside me, also praying. His face was glowing with joy.
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRqRLAcDXa
I asked,
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjsZCPfzKN
> "Are you alright, sir?"
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCylu6Ka6Gh
He smiled brightly.
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwTSqqZb7j
> "Alright? I'm the happiest man alive! My wife just gave birth - after 10 years of waiting. A baby girl."
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9vxiXSjvS
I congratulated him. We exchanged good wishes, and as he turned to leave, I asked him,
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9JPa7DE5s
> "Do you have any name ideas for baby girls?"
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMXpCVSiC1
He laughed and said,
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzC9V61sqfH
> "I named mine June. But for you... think from your heart."
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXwZ2Zg9Ql
I walked back in, saw Julina and our daughter.
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypU0uKKYEf
She was sleeping, her tiny chest rising and falling with life. I held her for the first time - and in that moment, I saw my entire future. I knew I had to become a better man, a protector.
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUOL4CglPQ
I named her after my mother. And because she was born under the Vanir, the Blue Moon...
I named her:
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhOTMw14pt
> Morvena Vanir

Back in the present...
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJrVW7PrVe
I, Lumi, froze.
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQJWQeeudR
Morvena?!
The feared witch? The destroyer of our realm?
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaA6mtkQppk
Galoth... was her father?
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgH3LDa6CBh
My heart raced. I had always wondered - what made Morvena turn against her own people? What made her the enemy of the Fairy Realm?
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUJES0juy3
This journal might finally hold the answers.
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCJYsS23Ip
I turned the next page... and continued reading.
