I flipped through a few pages about more peasants and horses and pianos. I obviously rarely thought of Storas after that until I found this entry.

Dear Diary,
Can you believe where I am? I don’t think I can! Well, so much has happened since I talked about…who I am. Of course, a lot of things can happen in 70 years! So of course you will want to know what happened. Well, not really that much. As you know, my life returned to pretty much normal, until I turned 20. After my 20th year, I didn’t grow any older! Father said this was because when I was born (on Storius of course) I was secretly taken to the planet Amma, which is somewhere near Storius, I don’t have the exact coordinates. Anyway, this planet is full of water, only a little speck of an island of land; the rest is ocean. On this island there is a special spring, a “Fountain of Youth” you might say. When we were born, my sisters and I were taken to this spring, and our bottles were filled with the water, and we drank it. So now I will live forever! That’s why I didn’t seem to get older after 20. So now I am on a SPACESHIP, can you believe it? I’m headed to Storius right now. And my sisters, Penny and Dessaru are with me. Well, actually their Storian names are Istaria (Penny) and Istiria (Dessaru), but I just can’t get used to that! We also found out that De – Istiria is oldest, then me, then Istaria. And one more thing that I can believe but just takes some getting used to. It’s harder for Penny and De – I mean Istaria and Istiria. We are actually Princesses of the ENTIRE SOLAR SYSTEM that Storius is in! And not only am I Princess of Storius and the solar system, I am Queen of a whole other planet! I don’t know what that planet is called yet; they said I wouldn’t know which planet is mine until I become a Stora. Yes, I will BECOME a Stora. You see, when Storas have children, the children are human. Because the…transformation (for lack of a better word)…gives children diseases, they have them drink from the Amma spring and wait until they turn 100. Then they go through this…transformation… and are made into Storas. I think it is some kind of operation, but I don’t know all the details on Storas yet, so you’ll just have to wait and see!
The only bad thing about all this is what I had to do to get here. About 60 years ago, I had to go into hiding. Father had died, so his son took the throne. I faked my death in a horseback riding accident. I knew it would be dangerous to look 20 and be like, 50. You know how people are: first they accuse you of witchcraft, and then they burn you at the stake. I’ve seen it happen before.
Now everyone I’ve cared about is dead! Father, my brother and his wife, and his kids. His grandson is ruling now! I feel so old! Well, actually, I am.
But I have a brighter future, with all kinds of new friends who never die. And, of course, a mother! That’s the best part about moving to Storius. That and the fact that, I still get to live in a palace!
Well, when we turned 100, our mother sent a duke or something to pick us up. So that’s where I am. On my way to Storius. I can’t wait!!

Sophia oops! Istoria
