Iris was the illegitimate prince of Aslan Kingdom in the big Continent and was raised in a desert by his mother. After her death, the King saw the son inherited his beloved’s beautiful silver eyes and silver hair, and desired to make Iris the crown prince. The monastery of the kingdom or “The Valley” opposed however, saying that Iris should be educated in the Valley instead to become the Archbishop because of his rare psychic quality. The Valley, the center of the people’s religion, the counterbalance against the king’s political power, and the sanctuary of science and “Foreseers” which were both almost extinct in other places, needed the Archbishop with a reason. The scientists of the Valley calculated that the Continent would be broken into two in a few years. The only Foreseer left in the Valley saw a dream of coming catastrophe, too. The Valley needed to pursuade people to evacuate from the capital, the center of the Continent, as soon as possible. It seemed a too tough task, because ordinary people could hardly understand scientific reasons and besides there were no cozier places than the capital at all. So, the Valley monks tried to make the most of the religion. Enthroning Iris to the long-expected Archbishop was the first keystone to attract people’s attention to the Valley’s warnings. To tell the truth, Iris’s foreseeing and telepathic power was far from satisfying to be declared as the Archbishop or the God’s child, and the monks knew the fact, too. But they believed that Iris’s birth as the king’s son and his glorious looking would be suitable to play the oracle’s role. Iris accepted this intrigue, for he wanted to follow his mother’s will not to agony the queen and his brother prince further, as well as he understood the emergence. Iris ordered the monks to assassin all well-known psychics to keep his own lack of psychic power secret, and rapidly began to be the mastermind of the exodus plan…
