At the crack of dawn, a man around his 30s came in and noticed his little bundle of joy sleeping peacefully underneath the pink and purple knitted blankets, wrapping it around her as it whined in annoyance by snuggling closer to her bed. The man chuckled and whispered, "Kom igjen Kóna, kajakkene kommer ikke til å bli der lenge hvis du ikke tar på deg skoene (C'mon Kóna, the Kayaks aren't going to stay there for long if you don't put your shoes on.)" 

"Jeg kommer, pappa! (I'm coming, dad.)~" The little girl with long white hair was indeed Kóna emerges from her bed and sits up only to meet her dad's smile as he abruptly tickles her to death that it made: "Hehehehe! Dad, stop! That tickles!" 

Her dad chuckles lightly, ending the tickling battle not long before he stares at her in sadness, which she picks up. 

She touches his face with tiny hands, "Daddy... why are you sad?" 

"Sad? It's not that, is that... you remind me so much of her mama, that's all." He lied, to which little Kóna pouts and pounces on him by shaking his shoulders with all her might: 

"No, sadness. Yes, happiness!" she cheerfully cheers, trying to change his mood as she tightly embraces him. Her dad couldn't help but smile at his daughter's innocence and pure heart. He ruffles her hair and picks her up as they head to the kitchen for breakfast. 

As they sit down, her dad starts telling her about their adventures during their kayaking trip in search of mermaids. Later, they ride with the horse to hunt for Goblins, making Kóna happily and eagerly finish her breakfast before rushing to get ready for their adventure. Her dad watches her with fondness, a mixture of happiness and sadness in his eyes as he sees how much she resembles her late mother.

He took out a note that read about him and his daughter being targeted and being willing to come tonight and end them, with little Kóna's dad being fully aware of what would happen. He had already contacted his old friends to find him immediately. Still, he was interrupted by the adorable sight of Kóna's eyes sparkling with wonder and confusion about what he was reading.

Of course, he keeps it hidden and motions her: "Jeg møter deg utenfor, stjernelyset mitt. Vi må få et forsprang på å komme til båtene, slik at vi kan fange havfruene. (I'll meet you outside, my starlight. We need to make a headstart on getting to the boats so we can catch the mermaids.)" 

"Okay, Pappa!" Kóna joyfully agrees and explores every corner of her backyard while peering from the window to notice her dad contacting someone from 'work.' Her dad watched her with pride, knowing that she was her mother's daughter through and through.
