In the kingdom of Astraeon a tradition has been going on for centuries. The burning of those who give birth to undesirables.
Please forgive us! We didn't do anything wrong! Were innocent!
The woman screamed. As she and her husband were being burned alive. But none helped them. For all considered them sinners for giving birth to a muted boy. The little boy himself narrowly escaped death. A mysterious woman had snatched him from the mob. Dressed in all black, she hid her face with a veil. She lost the mob by running deep inside the Moonveil forest. A forest full of terrifying creatures. After running for a while she stopped. She lifted her veil to reveal a face carved by God's own hands. Her eyes were as blue as the sky and as gentle as a summer breeze. She looked at the boy sleeping peacefully. Her gentle soul could not handle the thought of this boy being persecuted. As she looked at his innocent soul deep in slumber she decided to adopt him. As the moonlight illuminated his face she decided to give him a name.
Kai. That will be your name.
Meanwhile, inside the palace, the words of the Oracle made everyone distressed. Within the next 20 years, this kingdom will collapse into ruin. She predicted. Unless a boy that has never spoken a word and has been smiled upon by the moonlight chooses to save it.
