She had been waiting her whole life to find this mystical land. After years of research from her mother and her father and her brother, she had been the one to find it. she had almost lost all hope but she kept pushing through, just for her grandfather.

When she was just a kid, her whole family was under one roof. a perfectly happy family. the only thing that she didn't see coming was her grandmother leaving her grandfather for a younger man.

She rejected him coldly and packed her bags and was gone. He was broken.

Blamed him for tearing her apart from her own family. Her only blood. She dealt with it for a month and then she vanished. She was never on the news. This had been this first article since her disappearance. The grandfather knew what he had to do. He had to go after her and find her. He packed immediatly knowing that she would be in the clouds. The land that only they knew about. So in the middle of the night, he left a note and went there.
