| Euphoria, the City of Phoenia, Noble District, 8 years ago |
A large manor loomed over a small girl with light pink hair. She basked in its large illustrious windows and light-gray exterior.
"It looks amazing, papa!" The girl laughed with a radiating smile.
A green-haired male had a stern look as he shifted his gaze away from the mansion.
"It's not all that great…."
He gets his hair ruffled by an older man wearing silver armor. "Never prone to say what you really mean, huh Dai?"
"K-Knock it off!" Dai attempts to move his father's hand from his head.
The young girl laughed while running towards her family.
"… Saori…"
"... Saori!"
A girl with auburn hair shook her comrade awake.
"We're here."
Saori rubbed her eyes and took her feet off her cot. She glanced outside of the wagon's white drapes.
The carriage bounced on gravel as it passed by a large cave.
Three small figures covered in cloaks jumped from the wooden wagon as it started rolling away.
