And So I Was Born…
With the death of the 5th Child left unknown to the King, the Queen concieved a 7th Child and lovingly named her Nakashima Hitori. The Queen fears that if the King were to find out about Hitori’s real Destiny, the King would give orders to kill this innocent child. Thus, the Queen kept this secret to herself and allowed her daughter to live.
She did not fool the Warlock, however, as when they recieve the prophecy, the Warlock always refers to Hitori as “Nanako” which means “7th Child”. Fortunately for Mother and Child, the King has little knowledge of the Warlocks’ Sutras and requires other people to translate it for him.
And so the 7th Child lives on to this very day.
She is the 4th daughter of the Nakashima Clan. Her Mother, Yumi-dono, loves her daughter despite what the Prophecy warns:
A 7th Child will be born and will bring disaster to this Land. What was accepted into the Household will one destroy it. Her life will be filled with sorrow and lifeless endeavors…
Most importantly…
The people who will love her will only be hurt…
No one can love her…
And she can love no one…
Such is the Prophecy of the Warlock, of which the Child knows well…
But hope glimmers within her, as she refuses to allow herself to be controlled by Destiny. A Prophecy has never been broken, but the 7th Child wishes to prove that Warlock wrong…
Even it it means sacrificing her own life…
