Instead, it was the fact, Lucy had been born Year 140 Months of Snow, Jaguar Era . In other words, Lucy was in some historical period before planes and the internet . Lucy had almost fainted when she realized this . Still, Lucy calmed down . She could adjust . Lucy yawns, looking around the courtyard . Mom and she had been in seclusion since birth, so Lucy hadn't met her siblings yet . In fact, Lucy hadn't seen her Father since the day she was born .

Today Lady Selena was going to test her affinity . Lucy was nervous, simply because Mom was nervous . She was terrified Lucy would be a waste . "Consort Mora, Lady Selena is here" Aunt Edith, Mom's personal maid says . Mom nods jerkily and stands . Lucy turns her head to sea Lady Selena coming . Mom bows . "Lady Selena," Mom says . Lady Selena nods, "Even if the Young Miss is a waste . She'll be the daughter of the Rimes clan . We'll ensure her husband marries into the clan or that she marries someone in-clan . No one would dare abuse our Young Miss" Lady Selena says . Mom's body relaxes . "Thank you, Lady Selena," Mom says .

Lady Selena pulls a crystal out of her pocket and holds it against Lucy's forehead . After a moment, the sparkles in her inner sky tingle, and bounce around . The crystal glows yellow . "Ah" Mom cries out . A tear lands on Lucy's head . What does that mean? Am I a waste? "She has air affinity," Lady Selena says, smiling . Mom hugs Lucy tightly . "My baby, my daughter . She's not a waste!" Mom sobs, burying her face in her hand . It's the energy sparkles? Why would the yellow show up? My pure energy is stronger . Whatever, it made Mom happy, so it's fine .

Deciding not to worry about it, Lucy lays on Mom's shoulder to drift off to sleep . "You're out of seclusion tomorrow . The First Madam sent word she will come met the Young Miss," Lady Selena says . "Also your brother has requested to visit . Once the First Madam is gone, I'll send word to him . " Lady Selena says . Lucy blinks, perking up . Mom's brother? My uncle? First Madam? Would that be Father's Mom? Lucy wonders, yawning . Tomorrow, we'll have visitors .
