N.K. was subject to diffrent kinds of natural disasters. Typhoons, Tornadoes and of course Earth Quakes.

Princess Eriko Makota had been abroad in Neo-Ixania. Her first foreign excursion
and she loved it. Still she was glad to be home again.

"Mom!" She ran right into her mother Kaori, naturally both were glad to see each other. "Hi honey, how was it?"

"Oh it was great, I have so much to tell you. Where's dad, is he here?"

"He wanted to come, but he had to fly out this morning."

"Ah, business as usual. Oh well." Eriko understood. Their country was setting up relations still. "Well I figured you would like to go to the Retreat in the mountains," Kaori said "Instead of coming back to the city. Keep us free of any distractions."

"That's great mom, thank you."

Over the course of the car ride, Eriko described what Neo-Ixania was like. All the nice people she met and what her host mother was like. Over the course of dinner she showed photos. "We all need to go there soon, it's beautiful." Kaori said.

"I heard the Empress was around my age." Eriko said. "Didn't the ambassador said the empress would be a host to us?"

"You would have to ask your father, I didn't hear one word of the meeting. And you know your father."

"Yeah, never talk about the State around the family."

"Oh my, it's after midnight, we better be getting to bed." They stuck their dishes in the sink to let them soak. Eriko and Kaori both had showers and prepared for bed. "Night." Eriko bid her mother. She took her medication and climbed into bed.

Right as the clock finished striking 3, the rumble began, than the shaking. Eriko shot up in bed. The glass of water on her night stand and clock fell to the floor shattering and breaking. "MOM!" She ran to the door way, Kaori forced her self into the doorway and covered Eriko. The shaking had ceased but the damage was done. "It's over." Eriko said.

"Careful honey. There's glass all over."
