Kori awoke in a giant fluffed bed, daunted in silk and satin sheets from bead to foot. When her eyes started to adjust to her surroundings she noticed her bed wasn't the only decked out thing in this place. She noticed that there was also a full-length mirror, a giant dresser, and the most gorgeous vanity table she had ever laid eyes on. Across the room she noticed a giant balcony, which took her breath away, and felt herself glide over to the edge.

She sighed, looking up at the deep purple sky. Then it hit her…everything from the past two and a half months came flooding back to her like a surreal dream.

NIGHT OF HER BIRTHDAY—2 & A HALF MONTHS AGO

As Rachel stared down at her home, which was slowly fading away, a heartbroken sigh escaped her lips. Realizing it she tried to cough in order to hide it, but it was too late. Ryan had heard it. He hated doing this, but he knew it was for the best, so he tried to break the uneasy silence…very bluntly.

"Koriand'r, I know this must be hard, but…ugh…okay listen," he said after stumbling out the words, "you're my little sis…my baby sister to be exact, and as far as I can remember I have always wanted to be there for you. But I couldn't…and this is my chance to, and I want you to know that I will be here for you through everything else along the road. I promise."

Rachel now had tears silently riding down her cheek for the second time that day. 'This is it. This is your destiny…leave Rachel-you are Koriand'r, now, and forever…'

"Ryand'r?" she asked wiping away her last tear.

"Yes?"

"Please. I wish to become Koriand'r, and leave my life as Rachel…forever." The last word nothing more than a whisper.

"of course." He wasn't stupid. Finding our most of your life was a lie has got to suck, but he meant what he said…he was going to be there for her-no matter what. "Letters have been sent out to everyone that now knows, other than Sheila and Daniel of course, which erase their memory of what happened and they will all come to believe that you have come to California."

"Why is that?"

"Because that is where we will be living after yours summer training. Jump City, CA., where I am going to college at."

"So I will be going back to high school, only in Jump City?"

"Correct. They will believe you are here on a scholarship to that music school you applied to, but one person shall know the truth."

She raised her head at this, a tiny sparkle had returned to her eyes.

"Andrew…" she said, a bit of joy in her voice.

-------------------------------------------------

Three hours had passed, and that entire time was spent the two of them talking, Ryan explaining to her about how they would be spending the summer. He explained that for the next two and a half months she would be learning about her planet, and training her 'powers'. She still refused to believe that she could have powers, until he explained that she was given this shot that would keep her abilities dormant until its chemicals were removed from her blood. In order to get rid of the chemicals she would have to get another shot when they reached Tamaran. It was then she gasped.

There in front of her, was a planet covered in a purple and white haze. Once they entered the gorgeous sphere's atmosphere, the young red head was faced with a violet sky, and a red dirt that covered the ground, until she noticed the mountain in which buildings and homes were perched upon. At the peak of this mountain though, was a castle like palace, in which she thought she would only read about in fairy tales.

When they departed from the Jeep, and there in front of them stood a giant and some men whom seemed to be warriors. The man whose hair was a brilliant red, looked at the young girl with tears forming in his eyes. His features were that of a giant from one of the fairy tales mention before; a scar was visible across his right eye, one of his pupils was smaller than the other, and he was covered head to toe in armor and leather.

"Zol Ryand'r. Verdrl nock scurb'le, Koriandor?" (Hello Ryand'r. Please is that, Koriand'r?)

"Zol Galfore. Cher'r." (Hello Galfore. Yes.)

"My Bumgorf, Koriand'r. You have become more beautiful than I had expected!"

Kori just looked at the man with wide eyes. Bumgorf? And what was up with all those weird words? Was that the language here? It was then Ryan inturrupted her thoughts.

"Please Knorfka, Galfore. She does not understand our language. You shouldn't have forgotten, she was raised on Earth. Our customs shall be taught to her, while she stays for her training."

"Of course. Forgive me, Ryand'r." the old man looked hurt form the fact that she couldn't remember him, who could blame her? She left when she was only a year old! Kori saw his hurt, and felt an unknown kindness. I mean, when she was Rachel she was nice, but now that she was Kori, she felt as if kindness and happiness was almost an all time thing. She had decided before, that leaving her identity as Rachel in the past, was like being reborn. And with being reborn into Kori, that meant a whole new life, a second chance. She was going to do everything she could to make the best out of this.

"Please, Galfore. I am sorry that I fo not remember you, but I hope that in the next couple of months we become close. As knorfka, and bumgorf." She said, hesitating at the last choice of words, not really understanding what they meant. But, this comment worked, as a giant smile spread across the warrior's face.

"Yes, Princess Koriand'r. I would enjoy that, also."

Well there ya have it! EEK! I AM SO THRILLED! Please, I hope you enjoy this, and here is a warning into the future….

I will be changing it up some. A couple chapters for Kori, then back on Earth, then back to Kori. Got it?
