Prologue

Erin Marie Tribal was born on January 27, 1989 at about and hour to midnight. Erin is the oldest of the only group of triplets in Genome history. Of course, Genomes are not actually born. Genomes don't have a mother and a father; they have a creator. The creator of the Genomes is the oldest of everyone on their planet. His name is Garland.

Now, Garland had made two genomes like Erin before her. They are Kuja and Zidane. Garland also made three ones that were younger than Erin, two of those making up the rest of the Tribal Triplets. The youngest of them all was not made until 6 years after Erin was created.

The other two that made up the Tribal Triplets were Relm May Tribal, the middle triplet, and Harry Lee Tribal. These three were separated only days after their creation. They would never meet again for 6 more years.

Erin was first taken off of her home world, the place of her creation. This place is called Terra, one of the oldest planets in the universe. This planet fuses with other planets to keep on living. At the time of Erin's creation, it was currently fused with the planet called Gaia.

Kuja took Erin, Harry, and Relm to three different places. Erin and Harry both ended up and Gaia. However, they lived in two totally different places. Erin was taken to Maiden Sari, the summoner village. Harry ended up getting taken to Lindblum, but eventually choose to go to the same world that Relm had been taken to.

Erin was taught to become a summoner at Maiden Sari and received some of the most powerful Eidolons: Shiva, Ramuh, Ifrit, Bahamut, Atomos, and Leviathan. Erin did not, however, receive the Summoning Horn that was common to most summoners because of her heritage.

About four years later, Kuja came back to Maiden Sari. However, it was not to check up on Erin. He was actually planning to destroy the village, and hopefully to destroy Erin.

However, he failed on destroying Erin. He did, however, destroy Maiden Sari, but not all of its inhabitants. A child had just been born, and there was also an elder there to take care of her.

Erin had managed to escape with her mother for the time. They made it out of the village when it had just started to storm heavily. They got away from the village quickly due to strong winds that had started with the storm. This wasn't the first time it had stormed this heavily. Ten years earlier, the same had happened to a young girl, but she had ended up alone.

As the boat was swept through the water, the mother fell unconscious, and soon died due to the extreme cold. Erin had somehow managed to live, but she had been knocked unconscious soon after her mother had died.

The boat drifted for a while, but eventually ended up in the harbor of Alexandria Castle. A few people soon came out to find out what had docked there.

They found Erin, along with her dead mother. They laid the mother to rest, and brought the young girl into the castle to warm her up. The young princess, the only princess at the time, offered to share a room with this new girl. At first, her mother objected, but soon realized that all her daughter was trying to do was help, so she agreed.

That is how Erin Tribal came to be known as Princess Shiva til Alexandros 18th. Queen Brahne had adopted the girl as her own, realizing that her daughter, Princess Garnet, would miss the girl too much if ever she were to leave. Garnet was really pleased by this news, as she and Erin had grown very close.

About a year later, at Princess Garnet's 11th birthday, a mystery man showed up. This man was Kuja.

"Shiva, come on, hurry up in there! You need to get dressed!" Garnet stated through the door to their bathroom.

"I know, I know! Just give me some time, please," Erin said back to her sister.

"Now, now Princess, let's get you dressed, okay?" asked Beatrix, the leader of the Alexandrian Knights.

"Okay Beatrix," Erin replied, lowering her voice.

Erin pulled off the simple dress that she had been wearing. Beatrix slowly helped her into a more fancier one, one that would do for the celebration later that day.

Beatrix left the room a little bit after she had finished helping Erin, knowing that the young princess hated it whenever anyone but Garnet did her hair.

Erin walked up to the door leading out of the bathroom, sighing a little, and then opened it to reveal her sister standing there in front of her. She smiled slightly.

"Could you help me with my hair?" the young girl asked Garnet.

"Of course," Garnet replied, walking into the room. "How do you want it?"

"With the curls. You know, with the hair curling downwards. I absolutely love it like that!" Erin stated, giggling a bit towards the end.

"Remember, you still must wear your crown," she stated, grabbing a brush.

"I have a suggestion, is there anyway we can have it put on now so that the curls can be done around it?" Erin asked curiously.

"You know as well as I do that they aren't giving it to you until tonight. The people wish to see the crowning of the new princess, even if it is almost a year too late," Garnet replied.

"You mean, the Alexandrian people still don't know of my presence?" Erin asked, more curious than before.

"Not yet, my sister. They will know tonight though," Garnet replied.

Garnet started to do the curls in Erin's hair, know that this could never be done and look good in her own hair. This style only really looked good in short hair, like Erin's.

As Garnet did the last curl, Erin finally looked at what she was wearing tonight fully. It was a blue, two-piece dress. The top of it was in a tank-top style; the bottom was a long skirt that touched the floor.

"There, all done!" Garnet said, setting down the brush.

Erin looked back at her face in the mirror, looking at how her sister had done her hair. She smiled, hoping that they would be blown out or taken out by this crown she was supposed to wear.

There was a movement behind her. Erin looked back, only to see her sister leaving the room. She soon did the same. They exited their room, and walked down the stairs to the walkway that connected the royal rooms to the balcony.

"Garnet, how do the people not know of my presence here? I mean, I've attended all the plays in the last year," Erin stated, just as curious as before.

"The people merely thought that you were a guest staying at the palace. Tonight, they will know the truth," Garnet replied.

The two sat down in their respective seats, Erin peering around, trying to catch a sign of her crown.

The queen and king sat down soon after. Erin looked at both of them. She didn't look a thing like them, and neither did her sister. Erin kept on wondering if Garnet had been adopted as well.

After about 5 minutes, Beatrix walked up to the Queen and stated that, "It's time."

Queen Brahne nodded her head, and then stood up. What seemed like every person in Alexandria, which it probably wasn't, turned to look at the queen. Only the rich were actually allowed in, and there were also some nobles from Treno attending.

"People of Alexandria and nobles of Treno, I welcome you," Brahne started.

The people clapped politely and stopped to allow the queen to continue on.

"As all of you may know, this is Princess Garnet's 11th birthday. However, we also have a special surprise from you all," a short pause, but Brahne soon started again. "There will be a new princess crowned today."

The King stood up to join her, "Everyone may have thought that the person who always sat next to Princess Garnet was simply a guest to the palace. In secret, though, she was actually a new princess waiting to be crowned. Princess Shiva, will you please come here."

Erin stood up, glanced down at her sister, who gave her a reassuring nod. She walked over to where her mother and father were standing.

Beatrix walked up to where the crown was sitting behind the royal seats, and brought it up to the front.

"Here you are, your majesty," Beatrix saluted, walking back to her post.

"Princess Shiva til Alexandros, you are hereby declared princess of Alexandria, and second in line to the throne. I hope you use your title well, and to help out others in need," Brahne stated.

Queen Brahne placed the crown on Erin's headed, thankfully leaving the curls in tact.

Applause rang out from the crowd. Erin smiled, and then turned back to her seat.

Garnet whispered to her, "I think it's time for us to go. It's over by now usually."
