#;;Mikadzuki Airi

"A thousand years ago the rift came, and in that moment the ocean hero tossed the monstrosities back into the depths. A thousand years before the same, calamity after calamity."

"After the rift, terrors every few centuries and yet those who carried her mantle were always ready. Prepared to welcome a hero, and time after time the hero prevailed."

"When Alva's unstable ground sunk into the earth and from its gaping wound a horde of lost corrupted spirits plunged us all into a desperate struggle for life. A hero appeared, soothing the Alva Wastes, leaving them buy a mysterious maze today.

"When the Faro-shev Sea dried up, when Mikadzuki and Can Yue broke into a thousand pieces, when peace couldn't be attained but through war. Once more, a hero appeared."

"Even when the sky tore up, a red paradise enticing those who witnessed to attempt to overthrow their lieges and lords, devoted to this paradise. A hero would be welcomed by the mantle carriers."

"Yet now I sit in this dark room. The current era of disaster looms, and I cannot move. I can hear the voices scream out, the system is breaking down and I am trapped in these palace walls. There is no hero... we're scrambling for pieces and I am in this dark room. We, She, Us. The inability to leave, it is law... Not to see others, not to be seen."

"So why is it I see you.. like those who saw paradise. A perfect smile...a smile hidden away behind a thousand walls. Like myself..."

"Maybe we've been wrong the whole time."

"I feel you..."

"I need you."

"Is it love?"

Has Airi ever had any children? If not, would she want to fire up that reactor again--

The Mikadzuki Queens are not allowed out of their palace for any reason, let alone to do something as possibly messy as having children to partners.

That's all decided for her when the time comes...
