Sakura Abode Country, Summershire State, City of Catadrid.


    This was the secondrgest city in the Sakura Abode Country, it had a poption of more than 6 million citizens.


    Catadrid is often billed as the ''Cinema Creative Capital of the World'' because one in every six of its residents works in the creative industry and there are more artists, writers, filmmakers, actors, dancers, and musicians living and working in Catadrid than any other city at any other time in the history of the Azure Star.


    Even some animation studios chose to leave Sakura City to establish their headquarters here.


    After all, Sakura City was also known as the ''Animation Capital of the World''.


    But Catadrid had all the types of the industry of the entertainment.


    ? Catadrid has the Newfall''s neighborhood, which hase to be a shorthand reference for the S.A. film industry and the people associated with it.


    (S.A. = Sakura Abode)


    The cinema of the Sakura Abode, also known as Newfall, has had arge effect on the global film industry.


    Newfall is considered to be the oldest film industry, in the sense of being the ce where the earliest film studios and productionpanies emerged. It is also the birthce of various genres of cinema—among themedy, drama, action, the musical, romance, horror, science fiction, and the war epic—and has set the example for other national film industries.


    The city hosted three of the five major awards of the Sakura Country.


    Emerald Award (TV), Alexandrite Award (for films), and Saphire Award (for music).


    The other two were hosted at Sakura City.


    In other words, Catadrid was a dream city for aspiring artists.


    And that''s right!


    Catadrid had the same features that the city of Los Angeles had in Theo''sst life.


    But Catadrid had a toughpetition with Oceanford City from the Bald Eagle Country.


    But even with this toughpetitor, Catadrid won in the end.


    After all, Catadrid was the birthce of the cinema!


    Inside a rundown apartment, a young man just arrived from his work at the grocery store.


    He heaved a sigh of defeat as he saw the old cramped apartment.


    Arthur Lionheart used to live in one most luxurious houses in the world, but he gave up on that to live his dream.


    But even after making so much effort for years, he still wasn''t able to realize these dreams.


    He directed some short films after college, but all of them had bad scripts and low budgets.


    Arthur tried to solve the problems of these films, but the situation was so bad that he only managed to get these films to not suckpletely.


    Arthur wanted just one chance to show the world that he was talented.


    He wanted to show his father that he was right and that he didn''t regret leaving that stupid family.


    But even now he knew that the family''s eyes were always on him.


    He felt like was trapped bird in a cage, he just wanted to spread his wings and live his dream.


    He entered the tiny bathroom of the apartment to wash away the filth umted from work.


    When he left the bathroom with wet hair and wearing simple clothes, he heard the sound of a phone ring.


    He searched for a while and found the old phone.


    This phone was a gift that his mother gave him when she managed to visit him in secret.


    He smiled as he remembered the only person who never stopped loving him.


    His mother was the only shining star in his life.


    She never stopped loving him, even after what he did.


    And she always tried to send him money secretly.


    Arthur looked at the caller, but he didn''t recognize the number.


    "Hello?" He answered with a hesitant voice.


    "Cousin Arthur? This is Ayia, do you remember me?" Ayia''s voice came through the phone.


    Arthur thought for a while, then he remembered the daughter of his aunt Hazel that together with his mother sent him money secretly.


    "Ayia? It''s been so long! Thest time I saw you, you were going through a rebellious phase in middle school!" Arthurughed as he remembered the girl.


    "Arthur! Don''t bring up my dark past!" Ayia eximed as she remembered the months that she decided to be emo.


    "Sure, sure! What did you call me then?" Arthur chuckled.


    "Hmm, I have a job opportunity for you." Ayia stated with a yful voice.


    "Really? Where?" Arthur was so desperate to realize his dreams that he did not care what type of job he could get.


    "It''s the shooting of some music videos. And it will be in Elffire City." Ayia replied.


    "And you have to bring yourplete crew to do the job." Ayia added.


    "Elffire City? Isn''t that the capital of the Bluecorn State?" Arthur pondered.


    "Yeah, this exact city." Ayia replied.


    "I don''t know if I have the money to get a ticket to Elffire City." Arthur said hesitantly.


    He was a little hesitant about leaving Catadrid, after all, this was the city of the dreams!


    "Arthur, if youe, you will have the chance to leave Lionheart vignce for good. It is your opportunity to realize your dreams without their interference." Ayia dered with a confident voice.


    Arthur remembered all the things that he suffered in thest years.


    He figured that if this city could not help him, he should go where the opportunities were!


    "Understood! I will be at Elffire City in two days with my crew." Arthur dered with a confident voice.


    "That''s what I''m talking about!" Ayia eximed happily.


    She was ecstatic that she managed to get a talented director for Theo''s music videos.


    "And don''t worry about the Lionheart''s vignce. They will only be able to follow you into the airport of Elffire City, when yound here Shizu-chan will intercept and cut their vignce.


    "Really? That''s so awesome! Thank Shizuka for me!" Arthur replied with a relieved smile.


    He was tired of being watched by that awful family


    He wanted to be free.


    Arthur was so grateful to Shizuka as he remembered his adopted cousin.


    He also was grateful to Ayia for bringing this opportunity to him.


    Arthur vowed to repay them in the future.


    The two of them talked about other details before hanging up.


    Arthur looked at his rundown apartment and smiled.


    He had high hopes for the future.


    He grabbed his jacket and walked out of the apartment, he had to see his crew!


    While Arthur was on his way to meet his crew, Ayia was smiling happily at Shizuka.


    "We did it, Shizu-chan!" Ayia eximed as she started jumping around.


    "Of course! I do not want to find out what dad would do to us if he figured that we interfered with the Lionheart business. You remember that he specifically warned us to not get involved." Shizuka recalled the talk that they had with their father.


    "Oh yeah, I remember! But I am looking for Arthur as manager of an artist, not as someone from the Yamada! So, they cannot say anything!" Ayia insisted stubbornly.


    "Well, if it was mom saying that, they indeed would not say anything..." Shizuka pondered.


    "That''s so unfair! Mom can do anything she wants, and no one will mess with her." Ayiained.


    "And you know why it is like that, so you should stop your delusions of being like her." Shizuka replied with a calm voice.


    "Yeah, yeah, I know." Ayia said with shining eyes.


    Her mother was her idol.


    After all, Hazel Lionheart was the leader of the four families'' council!


    She managed to get the job even with the elders as herpetitors.


    And she managed to do that after she found the lost tombstones of the two princesses of the country.


    The princesses who made the peace treaty of the two ns possible!


    She found it in one of her adventures.


    Ayia wanted to live adventures just like her mother lived.


    Shizuka also had shining eyes as she thought about her mother.


    Who wouldn''t like having an awesome mother!?
