Part 60 &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “I want to talk to my brother alone,” Isabel said, staring at Khivar her eyes a pool of darkness. &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp `”Your brother needs to be debriefed,” Khivar said, unfurling a map on the table before him. Isabel came and stood before him; he looked up at her and smiled wickedly. &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “Pretty soon all of this will be mine, rightfully and entirely,” &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “Do you think the people believed him?” &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “They revere you and your brother, your whole family. He says it, they believe it. Just as they will be happy to hear you are marrying me,” &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “You have not asked me to do so,” &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “I still have my doubts about you and must wait for all you hold dear to be dead,” &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “As you wish,” Isabel leans over and reaches for Khivar’s hand. She places it on her stomach. &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “This is my life, I will do everything and anything to make sure no harms comes to him,” she continued. He pulled himself from his seat and tightened his grip on Isabel’s hand. He stared into her eyes and with his free hand caressed her face. &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “I have loved you since you were a small child with long blonde, unruly hair,” he whispered. “I knew that one day I would have you,” He leaned over and gently kissed her. She fought the urge to pull away and instead leaned into the kiss. &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “I am yours,” she said, after pulling away. Before he could say more they were interrupted by several soldiers and Max. Max was pulled into the room and placed before Khivar. Isabel let out a small breath of relief. Except for some sort of collar around his neck, he looked fine. &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “I’d tell you to bow, but we’re all friends here,” Khivar said taking a seat again. &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “How are you brother?” Isabel said, walking to Max and taking his hands. &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “What are you doing? Where are the others?” &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “The others have chosen to not cooperate, and will meet their demise, “ &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “Isabel, this is not you! You have to fight the mind control,” &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “Max, please calm down. This is who I am, who I have always been,” &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “I do not believe it,” Max said sadly. &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “Do not fret brother; I will have Khivar kill you and the others quickly,” Max nodded and his shoulders sagged in defeat. He didn’t know how Khivar was holding her mind prisoner, but for Max it was the collar around his neck. Turning it on made Max say and do only what Khivar instructed. As he watched Isabel, he did not notice any sort of contraption on her. She watched him and he saw the smallest hint of a smile. She was laughing at his predicament? Would Khivar stop at nothing to embarrass him? &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “I don’t know Princess, I’ve waited for this day for a long time, and I may have to drag his death out,” Isabel nodded and put her arms through Max’s cuffed ones. &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “I will take my brother to his chambers,” Isabel said, turning to Khivar. &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “His chambers?” Khivar said, an eyebrow rising. &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “Yes, my brother still deserves to be treated humanely,” Khivar nodded and waved his hand to dismiss them. As she left the room there was a young girl waiting there for her. &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “Celeste, please get Juxane and send her to Zan’s chambers,” Isabel said to the girl. &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “Yes Princess,” the girl said, scurrying away. &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “Isabel you have to help me,” Max pleased to his sister. She smiled at him and began leading him down the long hall. A guard followed several steps behind. &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “I am helping Max. It will be better this way,” &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “How can you say that? You are not the sister I grew up with…Isabel would never do something like this,” Max said, jutting his chin up defiantly. &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “Your words can not hurt me here Max,” They stopped as they approached a door and Isabel looked to the guard, who punched in a few codes and the door slid open. Isabel and Max walked in and Isabel turned back to the guard. &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “Please send Juxane in immediately,” Isabel said to the guard who nodded as the door slid closed. Isabel led Max into the room. &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “Welcome home Max,” she said. &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “Home Isabel? This is not our home, I am treated as a prisoner by some General that wants my planet because of the many riches it has. He has killed so many, for no reason besides the fact that they are loyal to the true throne of Antar,” &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “That’s why Khivar will die,” Max turned to look at Isabel who had wandered to the window. &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “What did you just say?” She turns and walks back to Max. &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “He’s going to pay,” &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “This is some trap, isn’t it? Some elaborate scheme to get me to believe you aren’t Vilondra. Well it’s not going to work,” Max spits at her. &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “Maxwell, it’s me, Isabel,” she says, rolling her eyes. She never calls him Maxwell. He stares at her and realizes there is color back in her eyes and the hand at her waist is definitely Isabel. &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “Isabel?” &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “Yes, it’s me Max, it’s really me,” she says crushing him with a hug. &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “I thought…how did…Alex ought to be proud, the ice queen is back,” &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “We have some things to discuss,” she continued, ignoring his reference to her high school nickname. &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “Is it safe?” Before she can respond, Juxane walks into the room, upon seeing Max she falls to her knees. &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “King Zan, it is good to see you again,” Max looks at her in bewilderment and looks to Isabel for help. &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “This is Juxane…she was my nanny as child, my ward and confidante as a teenager,” &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “You trust her? She could be here to spy,” &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “I am loyal to the Royals of Antar, not Khivar and his shoddy command,” &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “She’s going to help us Max,” &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “What about Michael, Alex and Kyle?” &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “They are safe…Alex has powers Max, strong powers. And Liz and Maria are on their way here” &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “Liz…is she ok? Where is she?” &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “She’s fine Max,” &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “Does Khivar know of Alex’s powers?” &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “Obviously whatever prevents the rest of us from using them does not affect him,” &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “He is all human?” Juxane asked, &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “Yes…Max healed him,” Isabel says. &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “Humans have a different genetic code that makes them less susceptible to many of the weapons upon Antar,” &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “How do you know?” &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “My mate is a part of the scientist that Khivar meets with...always waiting for the day you returned,” &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “Where do they meet?” &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “Here at the palace. There has always been a wing of the palace reserved for the scientist,” &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “How can I get there from here?” Max asks excitedly. &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “It is several floors down once you get to the motion-shaft,” &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “Shaft?” Isabel asks, confused. &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “I believe it is called an elevator on Earth,” Max and Isabel nod in understanding. &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “So this collar was made specifically for me,” Max says pointing to the object that flashes every so often. &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “Yes, it is to get you to do as Khivar says. He need only think it and you will do it,” &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “Damn him,” Max says. &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “He will get what he has deserved for many years King Zan, be sure that you need only tell the people to fight and they will fight,” &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “How can I be sure? I don’t remember any of this,” Max says, waving his hand around the room. &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “Be sure because you are the true King of Antar and we have waited for your return all this time. We will not let the time and the deaths of the innocent go un-avenged,” &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “Let us go,” Isabel says, taking her brother’s hand. “Khivar will get suspicious if I am here to long, Try and talk to Liz Max, she will be glad to hear from you,” &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “Be careful, both of you,” Max says, as Juxane and Isabel leave him alone. <div style="text-align:center">Words are, of course, the most powerful drug used by mankind.</div> <div style="text-align:center">Rudyard Kipling, English author</div>

Part 61 As we approach the outskirts of the city Nerathe stops, staring at us critically. Maria looks over her outfit, tugging at the leggings. “Its dusk, I am sure no one will notice us in these outfits?” I say, looking at my own leather pants. “Khivar has spies everywhere, we can not be too careful,” “What can we do?” He thinks for a minute and then waves his hands over my shirt, changing into a nondescript halter top. &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “That is better, now you,” he said turning to Maria. &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “Oh no, Liz you try...I don’t need one of Michael’s cousins running his hands over my body,” I nod and step closer to her. &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “What would a young Antarian woman wear?” I ask. &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “A long flowing skirt and a top similar to yours,” he answers quickly. I focus and wave my hand over Maria, replacing her leggings and t shirt with a black peasant skirt and a halter top. &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “This trick is going to come in handy,” she says twirling around in the skirt. “Now I see how Isabel always looked so damn good,” I laughed and changed my own pants into a matching skirt. Nerathe nodded in approval, leading us to a large formidable dwelling. Once there he knocks several times and waits. &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “Morse code?” I ask, raising an eyebrow. &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “We have studied many Earth ways,” he responds, leaning closer to the door, listening for a response. A few seconds later a tap is heard back and Nerathe reaches for the handle and pushes the door open. &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “What is this place?” Maria asks her eyes wide. &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “It is the meeting house of the Antarian Elders,” &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “It’s like a palace,” &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “The Elders are looked upon with much admiration. As you see the aging process is slightly different here. Many of the Elders have been with us for a very long time and have seen many, many things,” &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “So if no one dies…” Maria said looking at Liz. &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “We do not live forever, just longer than most Earthlings. And we can be killed as is apparent,” &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “But how was I made? I saw myself die and those around me, can you explain that?” &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “He can not, but I can Baroness,” said a voice coming from behind the three. We turned and before us stood a very old, but noble-looking man. His hair was snow white and he walked with a cane. &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “I was one of the scientist that helped give you life again Elise. Your family was very dear to me,” &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “And how are you still here? Does Khivar know?” &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “The Queen made sure there was a plan in place to destroy all other evidence that was used to save the essence within each of you to give you a life again,” &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “So if we all have this essence, why was the King not saved?” I asked. &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “There are certain deaths that sap the life force from you…also if you are struggling to stay alive, that too forces the essence to grow weak,” &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “King Tristan was murdered,” I say quietly. The old man nodded and beckoned us to follow him. We were lead into a smaller room that resembled a kitchen. A few servants hurried around, placing several dishes and cups before us. &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “Tristan was murdered because he was not going to agree to a treaty with Kaspar, even with young Zan agreeing to marry Ava, Tristan was not ready to concede to many of the terms,” &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “And so Khivar came in here in disguise and murdered him right as Zan was turning 18,” Maria looked at me strangely. The more the Elder talked, the more the memories came to me. He continued his history lesson starting with Zan’s coronation, and ending with Khivar’s search for the Royals. &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “And now you have all returned and all will be right again,” &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “Elder, we do not know how to overthrow Khivar. The others are captured at the Palace, only the Princess is free,” &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “Khivar has control of her yet again?” &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “It is what she wishes him to believe; she is our only eyes and ears to what is going on at the palace,” &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “That is not true. There are many there that want to see Khivar killed,” the Elder responded. “But there is time to plan this. You all must have your strength, so eat,” &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “How can you say that? We don’t have time to sit around and eat like old friends, Michael is locked up in that place with a man that wants him dead,” Maria screamed out. &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “I understand, but without your strength, you will be no good to your friends,” the Elder said. &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “He’s right Maria. We need to eat and come up with a plan, not rush in there and possibly jeopardize their lives,” She nodded in agreement, but the tears spilled from her eyes and she turned away from us. Nerathe quickly put an arm around her and led her back into the room we had initially entered. &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “You truly love my cousin,” &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “More than he could ever know. We have been through so many things together,” Maria managed between a sob. &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “Are you...betrothed to each other?” &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “Oh Gawd no…Michael get on bended knee and profess his love? Not his style,” &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “Seems he has not changed much,” Nerathe said with a chuckle. &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “But it doesn’t matter…I still love him with all his faults and shortcomings. He is my other half and if anything were to happen to him and I could not stop it…I’d never forgive myself...ever,” she says, succumbing to body shaking tears. Nerathe pulls her close and strokes her head. It is weird seeing him hold her, because he looks so much like Michael. &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “She is Rath’s partner?” Elder asks. I nod. &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “He has picked someone that matches his strength,” &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “I think she picked him,” I say with a smile and turn to look at the food on the table. The Elder nods and smiles. &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “Just as Zan chose you,” &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “You knew my family? My mother?” &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “Yes, she was a healer and very powerful. When your father said you did not have the gift to see, we were all amazed,” &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “He was protecting me,” &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “Yes, you are very strong Elise. Do not doubt what powers you have,” &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “I’m afraid of hurting someone with them,” &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “You have kept what you know to yourself then?” I nodded. Before the Elder could say more Nerathe was leading Maria back to the table. She looked at me and smiled shyly. &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “You think Michael will be jealous?” She asked. I shook my head and sent Nerathe a thought. Thank you He nodded and sent back Any mate of Rath’s is mine to protect and comfort The Elder began to explain what each item on the table was and we dug in, not realizing how famished we truly were. &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp After filling up on food and drink, the Elder showed us to rooms in which we were to spend the night. Nerathe had a room across from one that Maria and I were sharing. &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “I’m going to try and contact Max,” I said sitting by the big window in the room that stared into the city. I saw a few people walking around and wondered what it would be like to stay here instead of going back to Earth…If we even made it out of here alive. Maria was sitting on her bed, knees pulled to her chest. &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “I’m scared Liz…and I can see by your aura…you are too,” &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “I’m scared that whatever we do might be the wrong thing,” &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “It won’t be…I believe in you,” &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “Thanks,” I responded, leaning my head back against the wall and closing my eyes. I take a few deep breaths and reach out to Max. It takes almost no time before I feel him &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “Max,” &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “Liz...is it really you?” &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “It is…I’m going to try something, don’t be scared,”  I began to see what he was seeing and soon I was there in the room with him. He looked tired, but his eyes lit up upon seeing me. &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “Liz, is it really you?” he said, getting up from his bed and walking over to where I was. &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “It’s me…are you ok?” &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “I’m fine…how are you? How did you get here?” &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “Well, the Granolith-“ &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “No, I mean here,” &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “All I keep hearing is how powerful I am and the things that I can do. I decided to try this and well, now here I am,” I said with a smile and a bow. &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “It’s good to see you,” he said, reaching out to touch me. &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “It’s good to see you too,”&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp I could feel his warmth, but I was still too transparent for him to touch. “Have you been treated well?” &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “Pretty good, except for this thing around my neck. It gives me headaches after a while,” &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “What exactly is it?” I asked, staring at the lights that flashed around the collar. &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “Some device that gets Khivar to control my words, my actions and my thoughts. He says it or thinks it and I have to say it or do it,” &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “Oh Max,” I say reaching for the device, my hands graze it and Max shivers. &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “Don’t worry; the time will come for Khivar to get his,” &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “We have to come up with a plan,” &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “Where are you? Is Maria with you?” &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “Yes, she is here, missing Michael,” &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “Where is here?” &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “We are a few miles from the palace at an Elder’s house. Max there is a lot to learn about your people,” &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “I know…I saw a lot of things at the countryside,” &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “Are you…will you stay after w have defeated Khivar?” Max looked away and then deeply into my eyes. I saw all the confusion, and his determination to do the right thing. &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “I wish I could say no, but the truth is I don’t know,” &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “I understand,” &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “I hope so Liz, having you by my side and knowing what he had a lifetime ago and can have again…it makes all of this worth it,” I couldn’t help but smile. All the time I had run and the one thing I needed most had been in Roswell, waiting for me. &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “It’s getting late Max, and I have others to see,” &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “Isabel said something about Alex and powers,” &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “I need to see how it will help us,” &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “I’ll try and think of some way to turn this situation around,” &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “You aren’t alone, Max, don’t forget that,” &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “Good night Liz,” he said, reaching out for my hand. &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “Good night Max,” I said putting my hand out to his. We both smiled at each other and I pulled myself from his mind. When I opened my eyes, Maria was waiting expectantly. &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “Well…is he ok?” &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “He’s fine...tired, but fine,” &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “How do you feel?” she asked, cocking her head and staring at me. &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “I feel great, why?” &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “You love him don’t you?” she said, a small grin on her lips. I began to blush profusely and she got up and sat beside me. &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “I-I don’t know-“ I managed to get out. &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “Oh, you know all right,” &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “I feel so - so content when he looks at me” &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “Like he completes you, right? And you feel dumb for taking so long to realize he is the one?” &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “Yes…” I said looking at her. &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “That’s how I feel about Michael. There is no one else for me…he is it,” &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “We have to save them,” I said. She nodded and gave me a hug. &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “We will save them,” &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “I have a surprise for you,” I said and took both her hands. &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “What kind of surprise?” &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “Just close your eyes and relax. We are going on a trip,” She squeezed my hands. &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “A trip? What kind of trip? You aren’t going to do your mind mumbo jumbo –“ &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “Sh-sh-sh, and relax,” I said as I called Michael to me. <div style="text-align:center">Words are, of course, the most powerful drug used by mankind.</div> <div style="text-align:center">Rudyard Kipling, English author</div>

Part 62 &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp The next morning I awoke to find Maria’s bed made and the room empty. I quickly got out the bed and looked out the window, the suns placement in the sky made the time to be just before noon. I grabbed my backpack and rushed into the hall and right into Nerathe. &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “Whoa,” he said, catching me before I could knock him completely over. &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “Good morning or should I say afternoon?” I asked angrily. Nerathe squinted for a second and then smiled. &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “It was at Maria’s suggestion you sleep late today. If you want to be angry, be angry at her,” I took a breath and closed my eyes. &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “You’re right…had I taken the time to read your mind as you so quickly read mine…I would have seen the truth,” &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “Elise,” &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “Please Nerathe, call me Liz,” &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “Liz, is it. There is a plate of food waiting for your downstairs,” I followed him down, trying unsuccessfully to read what he was thinking. From the kitchen I heard Maria grunting and looked at Nerathe, an eyebrow raised in question. “Is she ok?” “Yes, she is exercising,” “Glad her mind is off of Michael and the others,” “No, I would not say that is true. She is pushing herself for that very reason,” “I was afraid of that,” I said, sitting at the counter and grabbing a piece of fruit from the platter on the counter. “How is it you block your mind?” I asked. He smiled and scratched his chin. &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “I am glad you have asked, Elder thought a day of training might be in order for you,” &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “Training? What sort of training?” &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “El-Liz, you are more powerful than Khivar gives you credit for. But you can only defeat him and help our families, if you know what you are capable of,” &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “I agree. When do we start?” &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “This afternoon. Maria tells me you visited Rath and the others last night?” &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “Yes,” &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “How are you feeling today?” &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “ I feel refreshed actually,” &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “That is good, your body is adapting to the change,” &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “The change?” &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “Yes, as an alien, your mind and body use more energy and life force…had your body rejected the change…you could have hurt yourself,” &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “That’s good to know now,” I said, reaching for a barrette and clipping my bangs away from my face. &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “It would not have been critical,” &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “Even better,” &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “You have mastered the art of sarcasm well Liz,” Nerathe said, shaking his head. Maria walked into the kitchen, sweat glistening on her forearms and face. &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “Morning sleeping beauty,” she said with a smile. &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “Thanks for letting me sleep,” &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “After last night, I knew you would need it,” she said with a shrug. &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “How’s the exercise going?” &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “I feel great this morning. I think this Antarian air works for me,” &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “I know…I actually feel very refreshed this morning as well,” Maria, put her bottle of water down and stared at Nerathe critically. &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “Enough with the mind thing, ok? It creeps me out,” &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “How did you know?” he asked incredulously. &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “I can see your aura,” she responded. “It starts to shimmer when you are concentrating,” &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “My aura? Is this something all humans can do?” &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “No way…only us freaks, geeks and mystics can do it,” she replied with a smile. &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “You are being sarcastic…this is a common trait on Earth?” &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “It helps us deal with being scared or angry,” I replied. &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “A defense mechanism…very interesting,” &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “You must do it here,” Maria continued. “I mean it’s just part of being a person to do it,” Nerathe seemed to think about this and nodded. &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “I am not accustomed to it being second nature I suppose,” Before we could go on Elder came into the kitchen, nodding his head. &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “All of you are together. I take it Nerathe has informed you of the training I wish you to go through?” he said, turning to me. &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “Yes, he did mention something to that effect. Are you ready to begin?” The Elder laughed.&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “I’m afraid I am to feeble to train you properly. Nerathe will help you with your powers,” I turned to him. &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “And no, I am not stubborn. You will not have a problem getting me to follow your instruction,” He smiled.&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “You are getting better,” he said, crossing his arms across his chest. &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “Well, lets get started then,” I said. &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “You may use the green house upstairs. It looks out into the city,” &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “Maria, do you want to sit in?” &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “Actually I’m going to work on a few more exercises and then Elder said he would accompany me into the city to do some recon,” Hearing Maria talk like that made me smile. She really was in this for the long haul. We would get them out and Khivar would pay…I didn’t have to see the future to know how it would all end. “Just be careful,” I said. She nodded and made her way back into the room I assumed was a sort of exercise room. Elder smiled after her and then turned to us. “She is a much better choice for Rath, than Vilondra could have ever been,” he said. “I will walk with you,” And with that we headed to a beautiful green house on the top of the house. Many of the flowers were from Earth and there were some I had never seen before, blooming in magnificent colors. “Wow, these colors are all so vivid and beautiful,” “Nerathe has a touch for all those things in nature,” &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp He avoided my stare and instead went to a plant and began picking off a few dead leaves. His touch seemed to soothe the plant, which immediately sat up taller. I thought about him and his green thumb and how much like Michael he looked like, but was not like. When I turned to ask the Elder a question, he was gone. &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “Guess it’s just you and I?” I started. Nerathe nodded and all of a sudden I was on my rear. I landed with a thud and looked at Nerathe, who had half a grin on his face. &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “What did you do that for?” &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “To prepare you,” &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “Prepare me?” &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “Yes, Elise…Liz, you must be on your guard at all times,” he said, circling me. I stared at him in disbelief and then I got mad. This was not what I had in mind for training. &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “So you think by knocking me on my ass I will be more prepared?” He held his hand out to help me up and instead I pushed it away and he with it. He stumbled, but did not fall. I got up and turned to look at him. He was nodding in approval. &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp “Very good,” he said. “But I think this may get you more in the mood,” He stood very still, concentrating and then before my very eyes turned into Khivar. <div style="text-align:center">Words are, of course, the most powerful drug used by mankind.</div> <div style="text-align:center">Rudyard Kipling, English author</div>

Part 63 “What…you can’t be…”I started. “I can’t be? Of course I can be,” I backed away and held out my hand, ready to strike. “How can it be…” I tried again, my voice faltering, belaying my fear. “Liz, it is still I…remember I told you I had the ability to shape-shift,” The resemblance was scary, right down to the voice and the piercing eyes. He shifted back, falling into a small bench. “Sorry, I should have warned you,” “I just thought maybe…you were really him and all this was for naught,” “Trust me, had Khivar sent men for you, you would not have been brought to the House of Elders, you would be with the others,” “Can I shape-shift?” “I am certain you can,” “Does it hurt?” “No. But at times it can take a lot out of you,” “How long can you stay like that?” “As long as I wanted,” I shook my head in disbelief. Nerathe got up from the bench, rubbing his temples. “What else can I do?” I asked. And Nerathe began the list of things that I could do, having me try most of them. I was powerful, more powerful than I could have imagined. After several hours of practicing he decided we had had enough. I could tell the training had taken a lot out of him. He looked very tired, but I was still wired from using my powers. “You are ready,” he said as we shut the door to the greenhouse and made our way back downstairs. “I don’t feel ready,” “Liz, you have to believe in yourself. All this would not be happening if it were not meant to be,” “So you believe that there is there master plan for everyone and because the people have suffered so long and so much we will be victorious?” “That is what everyone believes Liz, it is what have waited for every since Khivar took power,” “Nerathe…Max-Zan was betrothed to Ava and he did not love her...was she not to be his destiny?” “You would now about that better than I would,” “He loved me, but married her hoping to bring peace, yet she wanted him to believe in this great destiny,” “The only destiny we believe is that you all would return and make things rights,” “And then what? He has a life on Earth and family there as well,” “Zan was a very fair and wise king, young as he was, we are sure that he will make a decision all his people will be happy with,” “And if he does not?” “Liz, King Zan can do no wrong, even those that follow Khivar know that whatever the true king decrees will be followed,” “Suppose he does not want to be king? What will the people do then?” “Denounce the throne? He would not, could not,” “The Zan you know has changed drastically Nerathe. I don’t want you to meet him and be let down. He is not the King you remember,” “Just as you are not the Elise I remember,” he said, running fingers through his long hair. “If you will excuse me, I am going to retire to my room for a while,” “Of course. I am going to see if Elder has returned with Maria,” He nodded and turned down the hall to the bedrooms. I continued to the first floor and was met with absolute silence. I used this time alone to reflect on what Nerathe had told me about the Antarian’s and their expectations of Max. Max, who was locked up in a bedroom with a mind controlling device upon his neck and no clue as how to help himself or his friends. I wandered into a library and looked at a few titles of books. A few were reference guides from Earth, many were written in the home language. I could make out some words, but not many. As I glanced over several books on the desk, one caught my eye. It was called History on Antar and the Surrounding Planets. I picked it up and flipped through several pages, noting the pictures of many of the previous throne holders. I looked for Max and his family and soon enough found what I was looking for…it was a formal picture of the Royal Family, which included Max’s father and mother, Isabel, and Max. A few paragraphs down there was a picture of my father, and Michael and me as children. I fingered the picture and as I touched it, I remembered. ”Elise, please don’t get dirty,” said one of the servants that were sent to watch the children in the palace daily. “Yeah Elise,” said Rath with a laugh. “You shut up or I will make you shut up,” “Little Elise going to make me do something? Why don’t you try? You don’t even have any powers,” The servant turned away from us and I waved an arm, lifting Rath into the air and back down again. The expression on his face was priceless. He was speechless, his eyes opened wide with fear. “How you like that?” I said, flipping my long brown hair over my shoulder. “Elise,” came a bellow from the doorway. I cringed and turned to find my father standing there, eyes a dark cloud of black. My shoulders slumped and I turned back to Rath. “I’m sorry,” I said quickly to him. Rath nodded and rushed to get out of the room. “Young Rath” my father said, stopping him in his tracks. “Sir,” he gulped “You would be wise to say nothing of this to anyone,” “Yes sir, “Especially not Nerathe,” Rath nodded in agreement, anxious to leave the room. “Father,” I began once he dismissed Rath. “Elise, let me tell you a story, come walk with me,” he said, putting his hand out for me to take it. I sighed and took his hand and he led me out to the garden. I looked up at him and he was looking at the sky and then remembered I was there and looked down at me. “I’m sorry I used my powers Father…Rath was being so mean, I had to show him,” “I understand Elise and I am not angry, as you are but a child and things like this are exciting,” “Why can’t I tell anyone about my powers?” “Elise, one day you will have the chance to use your powers for the good of all of Antar, but for now it is wise for no one know what your are capable of,” “But what will happen if I tell?” I asked, sitting on a bench under one of the many trees shading the garden. It would be the same bench Zan would later profess his love to me. “Elise, there will come a time when you will let the people know of some of your powers, but not all…and you will not know all of them either…but when the time is right, it will all become clear,” I sighed. My father was known for talking in riddles and cryptic messages. “Is this something you see?” “It is, Antar will not always be a happy place,” “Why can’t you prevent it?” He sat down beside me and wrapped an arm over my shoulders. “Because those that will make Antar unhappy have not made themselves known,” I looked around the garden and up into the clear blue sky. “I can’t imagine Antar being a sad place Father,” “It will be a long while before it happens…do not worry yourself over it,” I nodded. “May I go?” “Yes, remember no one –“ “Must know of the powers I possess,” He smiled and it was the first time I realized my Father was getting old. The smile lit up his face, but pronounced the lines around his eyes. “I am proud of you Elise, your mother would be very proud of you as well,” I gave him a perfunctory smile and hurried away. Talking about my mother always made him so sad, I didn’t want to see him that way and instead rushed to find Rath and Nerathe and to see whether my secret was safe. <div style="text-align:center">Words are, of course, the most powerful drug used by mankind.</div> <div style="text-align:center">Rudyard Kipling, English author</div> Edited by: <A HREF=http://pub129.ezboard.com/bmajiklmoonsr ... lkitkat</A> <IMG HEIGHT=10 WIDTH=10 SRC="http://s1-images.amazon.com/images/A/ti ... /d8155.jpg" BORDER=0> at: 4/24/03 2:35:53 pm
