Chapter 1: The New Rito Prince

(((A/N: Just FYI, I don't own any of the songs either…)))

As the sun rose to a new day on the Great Sea, people's lives began to take their courses again. But for some, this day was special.

A few had heard of the wonderful news of a new heir to a royal throne to be born on that day.

But the sun rolling high through the sapphire sky

Keeps great and small on the endless round

These people were heading for Dragon Roost Island. Some had fancy boats; some had boats they had built just for the birth of the new Rito heir. A Rito flew overhead, landing on the balcony that overlooked the sea. The current Rito chieftain, Mukato (((not sure about the name))), watched as his advisor landed in and bowed to his superior. Mukato nodded in approval.

Then Mukato watched as the first boat arrived from Outset Island. His old fisherman friend, the swordsman Orca. He walked up the steps to the balcony, supported by his trusted spear, then reached over and hugged his Rito friend.

Mukato led his friend inside to the hallway of the Rito post office, where Serafina, the chieftain's wife, was holding a small bundle wrapped up in a blue blanket. She removed the folds of the cover from her son's face. He had only a few locks of white hair and burgundy red eyes.

"So, this is the young Prince Komali?" Orca asked.

He performed the Rito's right of baptism. He took a dot of red dye and poked a small spot on Komali's forehead. For a human, he knew an awful lot about the Rito lifestyle. He was respected even across the Great Sea. Then he took some powdered scales from the sky dragon Valoo and sprinkled them over the prince's forehead. A dash of the powdered dust flew into Komali's little beak and he sneezed at this. Serafina and Mukato chuckled at this.

Lifting the infant from Serafina's arms, Orca carried the prince into broad daylight. Komali's eyes felt the radiance of the sun for the first time.

Orca triumphantly held the infant out over the sea for the world to see.

The people were cheering excitedly for the new prince. But as Valoo let out a mighty roar, the crowds fell silent and kneeled or bowed in their boats. Little Komali watched all of this, unknowingly, with wide eyes blinking innocently.

Yes, this was truly a happy day for all of Dragon Roost Island…

…but was it really happy for all?…
