As Hastina and the baby rode by the settlements, fields, and arenas, on their carriage, the baby had to look at everything- and taste, smell, feel, or hear it as well! She was a curious, intelligent, passionate, and cute young thing.

Hastina looked at the baby, he saw the delighted expression on her face that she...she may not have had if he hadn't found her. It seemed like what he did was the only right thing to do at the moment. Bringing her was a win-win. She got a good family, and he and his wife got her too. It was destiny- that is one thing I am sure about. It couldn't have been anything different. He thought.

As they neared the palace, the baby's face lit up with joy unparalleled. "Yes, that is your new home!" Exclaimed the king, as he found himself pulling the child's cheeks tenderly. In just an hourglass, he had grown quite fond of the baby girl!

The palace was a large building with three floors. The palace was a yellow mansion that was surrounded by plenty of plants and animals, almost like a zoo-except the animals could roam freely. The baby reached out to pet a deer and Hastina lifted her just enough for her to pet her. The deer--named by Hastina as Dari--was very gentle and even licked her. The child giggled...uncontrollably, making Hastina laugh involuntarily.

His wife saw the carriage and walked hurriedly toward them. "Oh, your majesty! I am so grateful you have come safe and sound! And why, who is this you have brought here?" Said the Queen sweetly while pulling the cheeks of the child tenderly. She loved her husband dearly and was anxiously awaiting his arrival. Furthermore, she had never had children of her own and thus she warmed up to them rather speedily, as with this baby in front of her.

"My dear wife, I found her in the forest...and I believe she was abandoned. I have decided that she will be your daughter. It was always your wish that you could have a daughter. Your wish has come to fruition." replied Hastina. He secretly hoped that his wife would say yes, but wasn't sure.

" I am glad you brought her! What should we name her?" The wife was overjoyed, and, yet, soft tears welled in her eyes. She had never thought this day would come, but she sure dreamed of it. It was rightly said, at least once in your lifetime your dreams will come true.

"Well, I found her on a stump temple...so I shall name her Ruhi." Ruhi meant temple, in Inchantanian, Inchantanain was the primary language of all the kingdoms.

"Ruhi it is! Ruhi, do you like your name? Yes, you do! Let us go inside and eat. We'll celebrate with some sweets and an 8-course meal!"Exclaimed the Queen.

It was like youth had gone out the door of the palace but then decided to return and give the King and Queen another chance. The queen couldn't remember a time she laughed so hard since her marriage day. Ruhi was special, and she could feel it. Everyone was immediately attracted to her, even her enemy would call it a truce if they met her.

The whole day people walked into the palace to congratulate the family on their daughter. People feasted on happiness and joy in this kingdom, and today, along with happiness, they feasted on hope, faith, and their new heir to the throne.
