This story is set before the events of BG&E... WAY before, when Jade was just a child. You get to know (technically) where did Jade got her Dai-Jo staff, how IRIS Hyllis began to form, and even how Jade's relationship with Seven and Nouri began! Of course, it's not my story (I'm too slow when it comes to fanfics), but I still think it's worth your while. What's better, it practically paves...
