So, here is the start of the sequel that I promised to "The Journey to Golden Sun". I hope it won't be a let down to all who loved the first one.
Disclaimer: Even though this is a sequel, Disney still owns everything to do with Treasure Planet…. sigh.

Water fell and hit the ground in more than one way in the forests of Montressor. The skies were black, with the Montressor Spaceport trying to break through with its silver light coming off of the crescent shape. This particular night was cold and stormy, as was the inside of the Dames Mansion. The only light that seemed to exist inside the great walls were that of the lightening bolts in the sky and the little candle next to a young woman, who's tears hit the pages of her diary. The young woman seemed to have had her soul ripped from her very being and was a mere shadow of her former self.
Had it really been so long ago that she had captured the heart of a young captain, just out of the academy? Did the glow from her face fade since that day not too long ago? Yes, she had returned back to her old ways of depression. Back to the days before she met Captain James Pleiades Hawkins. Where were those cliffs now? Those cliffs had almost welcomed death, but instead brought a safety in open arms with the young spacer. She could picture it now… longing for a new life from the one her aunt had put her through. The very soul in her danced around and sung up to the heavens for mercy from her wretched life. Then came the deep breath as she slipped and fell over the sides, but found herself being held onto by her dream man. Happiness had been lost to her since her parents were found dead, but rejuvenated in this young man. And now…. he's gone….
Another tear hit the page of her diary as she began to write:
Dear Diary,
It's Gwen… or I should say Jen, since that was what he always called me. He was the only one to have ever called me that, except for the crew, until they found out who I really was. Since then it's always been "Miss. Dames, what can I do for you?" or "Gweneth, please give us your opinion on this…"
I know much has happened since I have last written down my thoughts. It has been over a year since I have last picked you up and so much has happened. Some things were good and others…..
She paused and a tear splashed over the ink before she could even finish the sentence. The sentence could not be completed since the memory was so vivid. After a moment, and taking a deep breath, Jen picked up the pen again and continued.
So, let me start back from the beginning. Today is the two-year anniversary of the day that we left for our quest for Golden Sun; supposedly, it was the only other planet similar to Treasure Planet. But, I have already told you the story of my journey to Golden Sun, so let us move ahead to six months after our journey ended.

I know, I'm cruel. But remember, appearances can be deceiving.
