Alex: This is a sequel to Thrown into the Past. You have to read that first to get this. I own only my original characters. I would like Roxy Fan 4 Ever for betaing. Without further ado onto the story.
Chapter 1: 25 years later…
Terra
Stella stretched her arms as she stepped off of the ship that had just landed, it was always a long trip from Solaria to Terra and she was just happy to be able to move her stiff body again. Seeing her friend again for the first time in a few years, a smile spread across the Sun and Moon fairy's face. She then watched as her two daughters ran off to catch up with their friends.
"Well, well, there's the Queen of Terra." Stella smiled.
"It has been a long time Stella." Flora said as she wrapped her arms around her friend.
"Yes it has," Stella replied. A puzzled look formed on Stella's face as she looked at the kids all catching up. "Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't you have four kids? I only count three."
Flora quickly turned her head to notice that one of her children was not where she should be to meet the Queen of Solaria.
"Where's Dylan?" Flora asked the others.
Hundreds of miles away
"Um, Dylan shouldn't you be at a meeting today?" A voice asked.
Rolling her eyes as she adjusted her swim suit the blonde haired green eyed girl glanced at her four most trusted friends, each one her own generals.
"Seriously," Jules Riversong said. He was a younger boy from the Water Nation's southern Isles, who was unsure of himself at times but was always coming up with solutions to the problems at hand. "Your brother really wanted you there."
"Prince Haruto always wants Dylan there," Raine Snowshower replied. She was a younger woman from one of the Water Nations underwater cities. Raine viewed the Princess as her younger sister and was not fond of how Dylan's older brother and sister were always bossing or ordering her to do things.
"It's only Aunt Stella, Selene, and Celeste." Dylan commented as she moved to the edge of the boat, "I still have stuff that I need to get done."
The Princess looked down into the crystal clear water before jumping in, causing Brooks Stormchaser to sigh at her dearest friend. The sound of a splash caused one of the sailors to look where Dylan had just been standing.
"Did Princess Kairi just jump off?"
"Why yes, yes she did," replied the final of the Water Nations generals, Morgan Winters, as he walked past the sailor to the deck of the ship, "We better get started guys."
Rebuilt Castle of the Four Rulers
"Oh, I can only guess as to what trouble that daughter of mine has gotten herself into now!" Flora grumbled.
"Actually I think she's helping with some land restoration," Soren, Flora's youngest daughter replied.
"And why do you think that?" Haruto, Flora's oldest asked.
"Because I'm supposed to be helping," Soren admitted sadly, "We were going to try and restore the Air Nation. We were pulling it out of the sea near Irohs and were hoping to reapply the magic to allow it to rise back into the sky."
"That sounds so cool!" Selene exclaimed excitedly.
"It's rather boring actually," Haruto's twin Rikku explained, "It takes quite a while to lift the land from the ocean floor, and only Water Nation people can even get deep enough to force it to the surface. They then have to keep it afloat long enough for the Air Nation to re-apply the spell, if they re-establish it at all, and force the land into the air."
"Which was why Dylan and I were going to go," Soren added as she bit into her sandwich, "But you scheduled a visit and I had said we should push the restoration back, but Dylan is a stubborn girl. It's alright though; I sent Ceil and Lyra to oversee everything."
"Always busy I see." Stella giggled as Flora sighed.
"You of all people should know that leading a realm is hard. But restoring one is even harder. Especially one meant to be ruled by four people." Flora commented before taking a bite of her food, "Zoar, Aqua, Ash and Rowan are a big help to me but eventually I will be handing Terra over to Haruto, Rikku, Dylan and Soren. That is why I have them and their generals out and about helping to restore the lands."
"Understandable." Stella nodded.
Back with Dylan
Crowned Princess Kairi Lir Dylan Light, or Dylan as she'd rather be called, didn't like how her mother always assumed she got into trouble. Though in all honesty, she and her younger sister Soren did have a habit of getting into a jam more often then their older siblings.
Dylan swam up toward the surface to dodge the sea serpent's attack; she glanced at the worried workers that had stopped their job.
"Get back to work! I've got this!" The Princess ordered thru the water as she summoned her sword and looked back at the monster, the creature was eyeing her like she was its next meal, "Well I think I got it…"
