Prologue
On top of a large crystal like building stood a woman with long light brown hair and intense blue eyes holding a clear cup gazing at the three green parallel moons surrounded by the misty clouds of pink sky. She took a deep breath a sipped a drink of her sparkling green drink. She sat her drink on the metallic table. Then she held on to her silver charm of two circles of her necklace.
Looking inside the building she made sure that know one was there.
She sat down still holding on to it, she spoke directly into it. "Claira it's me your best friend. That sounds funny saying that here on this planet and in my father's palace. My father thinks that our race is too evolved for that. Especially royalty. I am still trying to come with terms with having my whole life set for me. I don't know why my father sent me to such a planet where there is so much more freedom then there is here. At least for me. I was always destined to marry and continue the royal family line. I was destined to marry the ruler of this planet. But having a glimpse of a life so free how could I come back? But here I am. I am grateful for some aspects of my Kryptonian heritage. Like the ability to send this to your home in earth in moments from my home."
Suddenly she saw a hand on her shoulder. She started to flinch as she turned around.
"Well, hello Jor-el" she said with disgust.
"Who were you talking to?"
"None of your business." She said on the defense.
"Ok fine. I was just trying to make civilized conversation? So are you ready?"
"For what?"
"The betrothal ceremony. You haven't forgotten have you?"
"How could I? Why else would you be here?" she said while giving him an annoyed look.
"Look Laura I am not thrilled about this either but there is no point in running away from your destiny it will only find you quicker."
Laura took a deep breath.
"I know. I just…I wish I could go back to earth."
"Earth? It is full of weak primitive beings. We are too good for Earth."
"You sound like my father. Besides I know you don't believe that."
He suddenly seemed very uncomfortable.
"What makes you think so?"
"I'm not sure but every time anyone ever mentions it you get this sad look on your face."
"Oh. What is in a look?"
"Plenty."
"Well are you coming?"
"You go first I will meet you there."
He nodded his head and left.
This whole time she was holding on to the necklace. She spoke in it again,
"Well, Clara, this is it. My life is about to be over or it is just going to begin? Depends how you look at it I guess. At least I can talk to you. Jor-el seems ok with it. I do not understand him. I heard that before he went on his rite of passage mission he was rebelling all of the time and would not follow the destiny that his parents sent after him. Then it changed him. I don't understand I felt duty bound before mine. Maybe one day I'll escape from here. But Krypton is my home. And I do love its beauty. Who knows maybe someday I will grow to love Jor-el. Mother says that love is something you grow into. Well, I better go they are waiting."
