"Mother"? She looked shocked, she just stared at me with her mouth open. A tear fell on her face as she hugged me. "Inko"! "I thought you were dead", I told her. "I did too". "So you didn't leave us"? "Us... are Tayo and Shego alive too"? "Yeah mama, they're doing great", I cried. "Come in, come inside". As I walked into the room I saw my father. With his dark skin and dark hair, he looked the same as the last time I saw him. "Inko"? "Dad", I hugged him. "I thought you were gone". "No, I've been in Trap City the whole time". "Sit down baby, tell me what happened". I sat down on their couch and started to speak. "After the explosion, I woke up and saw Tayo and Shego there injured".

  "I got them and took them a bit farther away from the house. But on the way back, I saved a little boy who got injured during the accident. When I went back to the house, you guys were gone". My mother looked at my father with a shocked expression. "It's my fault, this is my fault". "What do you mean mama, you didn't do any of this". "I- I looked for you guys in the area, I figured you didn't get far. When I didn't find you I thought you guys were dead. No one would want to stay in the same city their children died in, so we left". "What"? "I was saving up to move us all to Aztec, but since I thought it was just your father and I that needed to go I had enough". "This isn't your fault". 

  "If only I would have stayed there a bit longer". "Mom, I have a question, what was grandma supposed to tell me when I turned 18"? She looked at me and sighed. "I don't think-", my father was cut off. "There's more to RingTown and Trap City than you think Inko". "What do you mean"? "When it came to founding RingTown and Trap City, there weren't 3 rings.... there were 4". "There's another founder to Trap City"? "Yes, and she was your great, great, great, great grandmother. Inko... you are supposed to be the current ruler of Trap City". "That doesn't make sense, why aren't we living in RingTown". "Let me take you back to the beginning".

  Hi, I'm the very first Inko Petrov in existence. I grew up with my 3 friends, Emma, Levi, and Oscar. Everyone has powers, Emma can run fast, Levi is really strong, and Oscar can make these ringed bubble things. Then there's me, I'm fast, strong, and can cause explosions. I also have another power I don't want people to know of, it's kind of weird. I can grow two red tentacles out of my back, my eyes are also red. My friends and I have always wanted to be kings and queens. What children don't? Emma has always been my best friend and we're close. We do just about anything together. 

  So when she told me she wanted to go on an adventure I said yes. "Isn't this for children", I asked. At the time we were only 19. "Yeah, but we could find open land! We can rule it and be queens together". "Were you not going to include us", Levi asked walking up behind us. "Right, I'd love to be a king". "Well why shouldn't we do it, we have the materials". "What will we call the place when we find it", Oscar asked. "The four rings", I told them. "Cool, let's do it". The next day we grabbed all of our materials and left our homes in Mesopotamia. For days we stayed on the water, looking for land everywhere. "Are you sure we're gonna be able to do this", I asked Emma. "Of course, why not"? "I don't know, we've been on the water for days".

  She grabbed my hand and leaned over to look me in the eyes. "We can do this Inko, I promise you". I looked into her bright blue eyes. Her long blonde hair drapes over her shoulders. I kissed her and quickly leaned back. "I- I'm sorry, I don't know why I did that"! She looked at me, she seemed a bit angry. What have I done? She grabbed my face and kissed me back. "Don't be sorry, just kiss me more".
