How it all began
[Excerpt]
Princess Lailya was born in the Year of the Silver Moon, when the moon shone brighter and longer than it had in a hundred years.
In that year, the night sky had a silver tint and snowcapped mountain peaks glistened like diamonds.
Princess Lailya was born to Princess Yaruna and Prince Taya. They named their infant daughter Lailya, of the Night and Moon, and made many offerings of thanks for their beautiful girl.
The happy parents made their home on a high plateau of the Sozanbu mountains. There, Lailya roamed the meadows and hills among myriad lakes and rivers and snowy passes.
From a very young age Lailya had shown an adventurous spirit. She accompanied her parents on travels to faraway lands, from the Indigo Sea to the Colossic Ocean.
On one of these travels, far away from their home, Lailya and her parents visited an aunt, Queen Skyla, in her temple abode on Sakaru Island rising from a turquoise sea and draped in sparkling lakes and rivers.
While her parents were occupied at the Queen’s court, Lailya spent her days by the shores of a lake. It was there one day that a gigantic goldfish appeared and started talking to her.
“Do you speak the Language of the Scales?” he asked.
Yes, as it happened, Lailya did speak the Language of the Scales,* having been taught by one of her uncles who lived by a river.
“My name is Bulumbu,” said the goldfish.
Lailya simply replied, “Lailya.” ...
*A melodic and bubbling lingua franca of the aquatic realms.
