So if no one knows how to get there, how do we even know it's real?
What Asuka had said had effected me even greater than she had meant to. How did I know? All I had was some legend, some thin piece of hope my father had gave me before he died. There was always a part of me that said it wasn't real, but there was always the other part of me shushing that voice. What right did I have of bring Asuka on this journey with me when I myself didn't have a clue if it was even real?

My father had always told me of Harmony when I was kid and had had a bad day. He would sit me down and tell me that when I was older, I would find Harmony one day and all my problems would be over, and I believed him. My mother...well, she had thought it all none sense. But I never let her dampen my spirits. As long as I had hope, I was able to get through each day. What did I have to live for if Harmony wasn't real? I had no ties anywhere. No home.

I absently fingered the wall of the cave as I sat on the dank floor. Asuka returned from investigating the cave for a few minutes. "So, what now?" she asked as she came to stand beside me.

"Well, I'm not sure. According to legend, at the bottom of the cave is the portal that only half breeds like us can pass through. To the mortal eyes, it only seems like an extension of the wall, but us half breeds can see to the other side. All we need to do is find it," I answered looking over the book I had been carrying in my satchel.

"What is that book?" Asuka asked, eyeing it suspiciously.

I stuffed the book back into the bag, shrugging. "It's just a book that I write everything that I know about Harmony in." I walked passed her quickly. "Come on." I led us down the cave.
