The Struggle of Trust
Mercedes watched as Sam, with folded arms nodded at Emma, to something that she was saying, and as though he felt her eyes on him, he looked up and temporarily got lost in her eyes. She smiled to herself and cradled their daughter, who was staring up at her curiously and making musical sounds for coos. "You are so precious," Mercedes told her and kissed her head. She put the baby over her shoulder and went out to meet Emma and Sam. Shelby and April had been fixed, but Emma's eyes were still that glassy color, clear and empty, though Mercedes knew that everything was within them, or rather behind them.
"So, what is it that we're doing right now?" Mercedes asked.
Shelby quickly rushed to her and gathered the baby, "Please, Princess. If you're going to get into matters of nasty things, allow me to remove the little one from such issues." She collected the baby and stared at her, "I thought that I might die before ever seeing the face of the heir to your throne." Then, to the parents, "Thank you for letting me live my purpose for a third generation." She carried Thuraya towards the house, saying, "I was your grandmother's handmaiden, raised up with her and eventually served as her chief handmaiden, with authority over the others. When your mom was born, I was trusted enough to become her chief caregiver! And if the universe sees fit, I intend to be yours, as well!" Thuraya began to hum a song and Shelby laughed heartily and cradled her.
"Thuraya adores her," Sam said, affectionately staring at them.
Emma smiled, small and nodded, "The girl seems to be completely aware of who everyone is." The smile went away and she asked, "What will we do when everyone is awakened?"
"Figure it out together," Mercedes said, and summoned for Sugar.
Emma said, "We need to try to go home."
"There is no way that we can do that," Sam commented. "As far as they know - we are all dead. We didn't accidentally crash - our ship was taken over and destroyed. It was intended to be an assassination and had we not had the orb on board, it might have been successful. We can't possibly go back."
Emma asked, "Was it not you who told me that our home star has been beckoning you back to it since you were a young child? Why would it beckon if we could not return?"
"Have you SEEN us return?" Sam asked.
"I have not," she confessed.
"That settles that," he commented.
She looked towards Mercedes, who simply repeated, "We'll figure it out together after everyone's received their identities and abilities back. My handmaidens should be rounding up everyone now to meet up with us so that I can release the orb." Emma nodded her head and Sam simply gave Mercedes' hip a squeeze. It was so refreshing to be able to do these little things. Touching her, holding her for the past few nights had been everything he had longed for... almost. His heart was aching to reunite all of their loved ones and to finally have some peace.
Alpheratz stared forward, nervously as Prince Shihab practically breathed down her neck, not seeing a thing, but knowing what she felt. Shihab's arms were folded as he looked at her, "Well?" He asked her. She tried not to say anything, but Shihab was extremely powerful in forcing others to use their abilities at his request. It wasn't quite mind control. It was more like - he could control their usage of their ability.
"It is definitely Princess Danica Thaqib and the Enemy Prince in the gardens," she said, feeling horrible for betraying her Princess. If she was in the gardens with Eosphorus, there was no doubt in her chief caregiver's mind that there was a good reason.
"Send for her," Shihab said.
"Yes, Sire," Alpheratz answered and made her way into the gardens, relieved to be out of his presence. "Princess? You know that I know that you're here. What I don't know or understand is why you're here with him..." Danica appeared out of nowhere and squinted her eyes at her caregiver. "Prince Shihab has sent for you." Alpheratz began to fix Danica's hair and face. Obviously, she had been exchanging energies of passion (kissing and other things, presumably). Alpheratz sighed and frowned, "He will smell the Enemy Prince's energy on you." She clasped her hands together and looked at the ground, "I am but your servant and therefore you have nothing to explain to me. I simply would like to bring it to your remembrance that I have watched over you since you were but a small bundle of energy, still clothing yourself in flesh. I would never hurt nor harm you nor wish to see such a thing take place." Alpheratz looked up at her, with sad eyes and whispered, "But I have been forced into an uncomfortable situation by Prince Shihab, because of whatever it is that you are doing in the gardens with the Enemy Prince..."
"He will not do anything to you, Alpheratz," Danica said. She frowned towards where she knew Eosphorus was still invisible. He was not supposed to be in the kingdom, at this time, but he was passing by and could not resist going to see Danica. He folded his arms and looked out into the distance at Shihab, pacing in anger. He read him... Shihab was up to something. He.. intended to lash out at Danica, and Eosporus would have none of it.
He appeared and told the ladies, "Go to your chambers. Shihab has no power over Danica in this place. She is the rightful heir to the throne and he will reign by position of marriage. He will not 'send for you,' as though you're one of his subjects or concubines!" He practically roared.
"Princess Danica?" They heard a soft voice call and turned to see Sheliak and Crux (Blaine) entering the garden, preparing their garden sonata, which they performed for the princess. Crux saw Eosphorus and immediately moved forward, prepared to protect the Princess at all costs, but Sheliak grabbed his arm and asked, "Would you like us to return later, for the sonata?"
She was glowing brightly with embarrassment and stress. "No, Sheliak. You and Crux may retire to your chambers. I shall need no music tonight to help me to sleep." Alpharatz took her hand and guided her towards the lift, which brought them up to her balcony and they entered her room, with her looking down at Eosphorus, as she was escorted into her room, where her maidens waited to prepare her for bed.
He smiled up at her, then made his way towards Shihab. Shihab saw him and his eyes widened, "What are you doing in this kingdom? You have not been invited to the war court. I would have been notified."
"I came to make peace with the Princess. It is my vision of our kingdoms coming together in peace and unity. It is my belief that war between our lands are no longer necessary and when we are in power; I wish to cease the fighting and the enmity," Eosphorus said.
Shihab was concentrating a large amount of energy on Eosphorus through this exchange, until Eosphorus smirked and raised an eyebrow... "Are you honestly trying to make me use my ability to your effect? Obviously, no one has brought it to your attention that I have never been bested by an ability. It is not possible. You will have to resort to the strength of your hands to battle me, but there is no need, Shihab. Peace will be possible when Danica and I reign over our kingdoms..."
"I will reign, at Danica's side and she will have no peace with you, nor your lands! You dare to upset the very balance of the universe with your foolish vision and your silly belief! As long as there is a throne in this kingdom, the king will be at war with yours!" Shihab said.
Eosphorus smirked, yet again and asked, "Do you honestly believe that you will come into this kingdom, marry the princess and become her superior? Shihab - allow me to tell you how this works. The king reigns in my kingdom, with a queen at his side to cover him in times of absence, sickness or the event of death. In your kingdom, as it now stands, this is the reverse, because the rightful king - the son and heir to the family throne was killed and you will be entering into this kingdom through the marriage of the next in line... A Princess so powerful that her servants are given servants and the spouse of one of her servants becomes their actual property, legally... But you think that she will idly allow you to take her namesake and all of the duty that comes with it?"
"You think that she will make peace with the Prince who is responsible for the murder of her brother, in war? She will never make peace with you!" Shihab roared.
"Don't worry about me. Worry about yourself, and how you need to calm down and reassess your reality. My visit with the Princess has concluded and she has instructed her caregiver to escort her to her chambers for the night. I bid you farewell, also." Eosphorus turned and walked out, silently, smirking the entire time. He knew that he got under Shihab's skin. He knew that Shihab had suspicions about the nature of his amends with Danica. He wanted him to be worried, to be uncomfortable, to be afraid. He relished in it. The battles in the court, the victories, the surrenders, all of it was done meticulously, to win her over. He knew that he had done so - their secret meeting in the gardens outside of her chambers was his confirmation of this fact. They had professed their love for each other and agreed to make plans to be together, somehow. Shihab was still her fiance, but he would soon be a memory and Eosphorus took joy in sending him on his way...
Sugar found it hard to talk to Quinn, even despite their years of friendship and sisterhood back home. Here, things had been different. They had not been particularly close, and Quinn, an isolated and abused individual was a far cry from her former self. Sugar hoped that soon, she could be herself again, but the people that they had become wouldn't cease to exist... they simply would be adding both identities into one body. She said, "The Princess needs everyone to assemble in the training field," to Quinn and Aphasia and before either of them said anything, she made her way to round everyone else up.
It was awkward that Mercedes was communicating with Sugar and not with Quinn. It had been three days since the resurrection and in that time, Quinn had not even been able to get anywhere near Mercedes or the baby. Sugar knew that it must have hurt her, but she also understood Mercedes' hurt when she thought that Sam was dead. Now, Quinn would have to learn to understand... consequences exist, regardless of intentions.
Aphasia reached out for Quinn's hand to help her up off of the bed and the two of them walked in the requested direction, in silence. They saw others emerging from different rooms and as they passed a certain window, saw Susie teleport in the midst of some of those working on building more living quarters, then disappearing as the workers abruptly stopped working in order to meet at the right place.
"As you all full well know, now, we are not humans with superpowers. We are not of this world and we have not always been here. Our Princess has within her everything that we need to be those who we once were," Emma said. Mercedes sighed and spread her arms outward for Sugar to be able to reach inside of her and withdraw it. When it was out, Sam and Mercedes both put their hands on it and it began to glow, then to float out of their hands and their fingertips followed it into the sky above them, where it sent out rays of light an energy and floods of it flowed over the group there and even seemed to go beyond them, all over the place. They blinked at each other as they saw that recognition of others, and saw friends and family finding each other in the crowd for hugs and kisses and such.
Quinn stared down at her hands and they shook. She held her heart, held her stomach and crumbled to the ground, crying. Had she really become that person? The person who betrayed her Princess... the person that Alpheratz always seemed suspicious of? She saw Alpheratz, holding the baby, the princess as she and Oracle hugged each other and hugged the princess. Strong arms lifted her from the ground and helped to square her away. "Hester, we need to beg forgiveness," he said. She stared at Orionus, with tears in her eyes. "We have to beg them not to kill us."
"No one is going to harm you," Sam said, appearing out of nowhere, near them. He folded his arms and studied both of them, "You both came here with us, as a show of a sign of support and you're as much a part of our new family as anyone else here."
Puck bowed and Sam pulled him up by the shoulders. "We are warriors. You believed me to be your enemy and you took the opportunity to strike. I always knew that it would be you and it had to happen," Sam told him. "It's like Judas and Jesus, only... you're still here, with me. I want you to be here with me, Orionus... and I want you here with us, too, Hester." He looked at her and she nodded, fiercely, and wiped away some tears. Sam said, "So, Orionus, Puck - what are you gonna go by?"
"I would like to be referred to as 'General.' if that isn't asking too much," Puck said.
"General, I need you to organize the fighters. We may have to soon use everything that we have," Sam said and they headed away. Quinn simply stood alone and wondered where she should go. She finally decided that she belonged next to Danica, and the princess would have to banish her to keep her away!
Hester watched carefully as Aster and her servants made a fuss about. She saw Alphenaz and Aphasia going over some information on a scroll while the lowest of the servants prepared Danica's dress. She could not understand a bit of anything going on in front of her. Prince Eosphorus would be coming for his right hand to do battle against Orionus in the courtyard. Orionus had been purchased from Eosphorus' prison system and enslaved by Prince Shihab. If he could prove himself, he could win his freedom as an officer of the kingdom. This was an important battle... but it should have only been important to him and to her.. why was everyone else so worked up? "Aster, what is the meaning of all of the fuss?" She asked.
Aster sighed and handed a fancy box to Susie, who immediately teleported away. "Well, as you know - The former General Orionus was a terrible militant against the kingdoms, after your lands were overthrown. We have no way of knowing how many followers he has in hiding, how many will surface, how many vigilantes may make attempts on his life, and such. We must be certain that proper safety measures are in place for the Princess."
"What do I need to do?" Hester asked.
Danica quickly replied, "You need to prepare to stand behind your chosen. If he wins his freedom, he is yours to marry. You should be there."
"Will you not be present, My Princess?" Hester asked.
Danica gave her a sad look and told her, "I'm afraid that I cannot." Hester's sad face almost broke Danica's heart. "I have been advised to skip this particular battle and considering that my chosen is not directly involved, I have no irrefutable arguments to be allowed to attend."
Aster quickly interjected with, "Hester, you should get prepared and go into the courtyard. It will be good for Orionus' morale to see you waiting when he is brought inside." Aster waved over a few maidens to collect Hester and help her to prepare. Hester gave Aster one last suspicious look. SHE was the Princess' chief handmaiden and should always be at her side... But, now she had her chief bodyguard and chief caregiver (whose position was similar to Hester's but included being over all of the handmaidens, all of the bodyguards and all of the decoys)... The position that Hester hoped to someday have in the kingdom, possibly when Danica sat on the throne.
Aster entered the courtyard and approached the empty table. She looked at it. It was hard to believe sometimes that this simple stone structure symbolized the things that she still sometimes had nightmares about... War itself. "War is natural," she heard the Queen's voice say and she immediately fell to her knees. "You'll mess your dress, young maiden," the Queen said.
"I dare not neglect bowing in the Queen's presence," Hester said.
"Stand," the Queen commanded. Hester did so. She could not see the woman looking down upon her, through the doorway. "Right now, I am merely a citizen, giving homage to the Universe for its wisdom and its power. It is my ritual to remember the Universe before each battle - to be certain that I know my place in it; so that I will know that each battle ended just as it was intended."
Hester fumbled with her necklace and she asked, "As a citizen.. do you ever worry that perhaps you might be overthrown, in any way? When I was little, my kingdom was stormed by soldiers, my parents were executed, and I was taken into slavery and given to you, as spoils... have you ever worried of such a thing happening here?"
"I do not worry about anything. IF such a thing were to happen, I would look to the Universe, just as I always have. What is bothering you, Hester?"
Hester gasped and reflexively looked up at the doorway, seeing only light when she did, at first. But, the Queen quickly allowed her to see her... She looked just like Danica, but rounder and her flowing tresses of black hair had silver in it. Hester quickly looked away and the Queen laughed, "Hester, I am a citizen. Would you feel more comfortable if I invited you up?"
"If you..." but the woman didn't wait for Hester's answer. Instead, Hester felt herself being drawn up, through the doorway and entering the palace, which she did not even know the location of... She looked around and gasped, covering her mouth. There were thrones, everywhere, with former kings and queens seated in them. She rushed to a pair of thrones where her parents were and touched their cold bodies. "Are these statues?" She asked.
"No. These are wells," the Queen said. They are deceased, but the energies of your kingdom returns to them. 'The well' is a position. It is ordained by the universe and even more prestigious than that of King or Queen." The Queen kneeled before Hester's parents and Hester did so as well. "I kneel before each well and I thank the universe for providing a place of refuge for energy whose temples have been collected by the stars, and I ask the well to provide our champions with a source abundant for victory and I explain that if it is not so then it was not the will of the Universe."
"Why are you sharing this with me?" Hester wondered.
"Because you were feeling left out. You felt like you are starting to not belong. You are a member of my daughter's home and a citizen in our kingdom. You belong."
"I feel like I'm being alienated. Is it because of Orionus?" Hester asked.
"It seems to have more to do with the Enemy Prince, Eosphorus," the Queen said. She marched to the doorway and opened it for Hester to see Eosphorus in the gardens, with a few of his people. "He is never to be trusted, do you understand?"
"Yes, My Queen," Hester said.
"If you find anything out about him - anything at all... I need you to tell me," the Queen said. She reached round her own neck and removed a necklace, "Blow breath into the jewel and I will be alerted. Meet me where I introduced myself to you. If ANYTHING should happen concerning this prince."
"Yes, Your Majesty," Hester said.
The Queen smiled and gave her a hug. "You will forget about this room, but not about your assignment. If you disobey me..." The Queen looked into Hester's eyes and said, in a deep, croaky voice, "You will perish." Hester woke up on the cold floor of the courtyard, next to the table and she glanced around her. What had happened? Had she passe out? Fallen asleep? She felt like she had some type of important dream - but she could not remember what it was all about... only that she was bowing to the Queen... She heard noise and quickly pulled herself up and had just enough time to straighten herself out before they entered the place.
Brought in with shackles around his wrists and ankles and several soldiers, ready to attack if he seemed about to try anything suspicious, Hester wondered if he would even be able to properly do what he was assigned to do. When the prince's Right Hand entered, accompanied by (Mike, Brittany, Santana and Matt), Hester was shocked not to see the prince with them. He NEVER missed a battle, ever.
Shihab quickly noticed the same discrepancy and mentioned, "It is out of character for your prince not to show up for a battle."
Right Hand smirked and removed his coat to hand to Santana as he said, "Well, the Prince is so confident in today's victory that he prefered to watch the battle from the battlefield." He smiled at Orionus and shook his head, "I'm sure you envy him that privilege. Will you be able to operate in your condition?"
Orionus did not bother to look up from the table, as he attempted to try to locate the sparkle on the gameboard that might be Eosphorus. If he was on the battlefield, the former general wanted him dead...
Tina was keeping a lookout, all around, utilizing every gift that her eyes held. Aster was keeping it hidden from all detection, knowing that the King and Queen could still see, but would not be looking over anything but the courtyard with a battle this anticipated taking place. Alpheratz was diligently trying to make sure that no unsuspecting person wandered upon them, as she sensed most of the power and energy in the courtyard, or various other places. Noone else was in the gardens, at this time, but those here gathered with them, to help and to witness this... OUTRAGEOUS event. April, Eosphorus' chief caregiver was posted with Alpheratz. In case she missed someone or they came in undetected, April could hypnotize them into not using their gift to disturb things.
Alpheratz felt like the biggest traitor to the kingdom that ever was, but Oracle had counseled her on it. She had been told not to tell, to help - because this union would save all of their kind and bring the lands back to the Time of Harmony, heard of in legends - when kingdoms did not fight and conquer, rise to fall and be overthrown and replaced and so on. That future gave Alpheratz hope. She was betraying her Queen, yes.. but she was being a faithful tool of the Universe... at least she hoped.
Sheliak played songs on the harp as Danica's maiden, Aphasia and one of Eosphorus' concubines, Marley fixed her dress to trail behind her as she approached Eosphorus, standing next to Tina. Alpheratz awaited Danica at this altar and when she met with them, Oracle officiated this ceremony. Tina, briefly used her telescopic vision to see the actual battlefield - where Artie was fighting and had been injured, it appeared, several times. She frowned and shut her eyes, blinked and changed her line of vision to the courtyard. She saw Shihab speaking with Hester, while she tried to watch Orionus' performance on the table, but the prince was obviously sending her away...
Hester left the room and began to head their way. "Someone's coming," Tina said to Sean. "The chief handmaiden..." Sean extended a hand and Tina guided it in the right direction, so that he could pause Hester from entering the gardens.
Joe quickly brought in the wedding jewelry that he custom made for this event and when the proceedings were done, they left together, in secret and in silence.
Hester entered the gardens and searched around... Just as she supposed, no one was there. She tested, by commanding, "Aster, if you are here and hiding anyone or anything, show yourself." She waited and sighed, then returned to the courtyard, "No one there, Your Highness," she said to Prince Shihab.
"Took you long enough," he commented. She glared at the back of his head. Jerk. She'd only taken a few moments... she looked at the battlefield table and was shocked by the changes in numbers there. Quickly she approached the table and asked Orionus in a soft voice, "How long was I gone?"
"For at least an entire round," he said, still not removing his eyes from the board. She let out a grunt and in confusion folded her arms. She glanced over at the group with his opponent. They were eyeing her suspiciously. She squinted at them and said under her breath, "I would like to know what is going on."
Brittany opened her mouth, honestly about to reply, when she held her head. Santana swooped her up and instantly rushed her out of the area. Matt and Mike watched them leave, but didn't move. Hester did.
She followed them out, ready to interrogate the hell out of them, or at least the golden haired one who obviously knew something! She was about to reach them when Alphenatz and Oracle intercepted her, "Is there a problem, Hester?" Oracle asked.
"Someone stopped time on me while I was headed to the gardens to check to see if the Princess and Aster were there. I think that they have a time stopper in their camp and when I tried to question them about it, the golden haired one tried to answer and was deflected."
"Thank you, Hester. I'll handle it from here," Oracle said.
"You don't have the ability to interrogate her," Hester reminded her.
"Mind your place, Hester!" Alphenatz ordered.
"My place is next to the Princess, but I was not there and something may have happened to her..."
"We actually have both been handling looking out for Princess Danica since before you knew she existed," Oracle said. "Without you. I think that we can manage and I'll handle it from here." She glanced at Hester up and down and turned on the balls of her feet to approach Brittany and Santana.
Hester huffed and locked her hands together, behind her back as Alphenatz offered, "She didn't mean anything by it, Hester. I realize that the Princess allots for you to handle her and deal with her as a trusted friend and even on some level a sister, but you have to remember that you are not a princess and you must mind your place in the chain of command. That golden haired woman may be an enemy, but she is also a princess to be. She is the bridegroom of the most powerful prince in the kingdoms and to challenge her could bring war to our kingdom. You must allow this to be handled diplomatically, or we will have to distance you from the princess and the kingdom." She offered Hester a hug, but Hester did not return it. Instead, she watched as Oracle spoke with the two women, then came back to report.
"Their time stopper is with the Prince," Oracle said. "Perhaps another time stopper is in the kingdom."
Alphenatz said, "Hester, head back to the courtyard. I will gather a search party to detect the perpetrator."
"I'll be a part of it," Hester said, determined that she would interrogate the two women later, herself, as well.
Alpheratz said sternly, "The. Princess. Wants. You. In. The. Courtyard."
Hester smiled tightly and quickly turned to go, with her eyes tearing up.
"You might be the only person able to calm down Orionus, if something happens, Hester. You play a very important role in that room. We don't need you out here, for now."
"Yes, Caregiver," Hester said. Something did not seem right and she felt suspicious of... just about everyone, now. But what could she do? She had her orders and the Princess obviously did not trust her as much as she did Alpheratz.
"She's going to continue being a problem," Alpheratz said.
Oracle commented, "There's nothing more that we can do about it. I've told the Princess of my visions and she refuses to believe that Hester would ever betray her for any reason. All that we can do is alienate her in hopes to keep her distanced enough from the Princess."
"She is too dangerous. She needs to be taken out, while we have the chance," Alpheratz said.
"She's a handmaiden, so the kingdoms would not be moved by her death, but the Princess will and will use all of her power to find the truth... and I am inclined to believe that she will find it. Hester is her personal property and destruction of it is equivalent to stealing from the Princess," Oracle said.
"For the greater good, I will handle the details and keep all others out of it," Alpheratz said.
"She has not yet done anything to warrant such a fate, Alpheratz."
"The main purpose of having an oracle in the main court is to prevent enemies from being allowed to do the things that they will do. I will no further discuss this with you. Carry on."
Mercedes handed the orb to Sugar to put up in a certain place. She and Jesse were assigned to such a mission and in the meantime, she and Sam worked together, addressing each of their different groups with instructions and helping morale by showing their faces. Everyone was back now and ready to serve, but they wanted to make sure that everyone was alright.
Shelby watched Quinn approaching and handed the baby off to April to cut her off. "You can't keep me from her, Alpheratz," Quinn said.
"Sure, I can. Susie!" Susie appeared and took Quinn, disappeared and reappeared alone. "Thank you, Susie," Shelby said. Susie nodded once and resumed the work she had previously been doing.
Carmen came rushing outside of her quarters and waved a red flag, which Sam noticed and said, "Carmen's calling."
"I'll go see," Mercedes told him and did so. Carmen led Mercedes to the television, where there was footage of arrests being made and outcries from the public.
"We haven't seen our children in years and we know nothing of their terrorist ties!" Mike Chang Sr. was saying as he and his wife were forcefully thrown into the back of a government van. Mercedes' heart sank.
She saw soldiers hitting Millie Rose with the butt of their guns while subduing her as she begged them to please stop and insisted that her daughter, Marley was not a terrorist.
She saw a woman speaking to the cameras, with the name Cassandra July: Newly Instated S.T.A.R.S. Program and Facility Director, under the screen and Becky behind her, "We are confident that we will collect each of the terrorist that attacked the facility. As of now, we have no information on their whereabouts nor do we know how many are involved in this terrorist organization, but we do have a list of persons who indeed are certainly involved and we have collected the family members of those involved and we also have a list of victims and at least two missing doctors from the facility."
Then, there were photos with names and information on the screen: Mike Chang Jr., Tina Chang, Marley Rose, Jesse St. James, Dustin Goolsby, Holly Holiday, Grace Hitchens, "All of these people are extremely dangerous and there is a reward for each of them, dead or alive. Thank you. Excuse me," Cassandra July made her exit with Becky following her, both of them talking quickly to each other, while the controlled chaos around them continued and the reporter looked back to the screen.
"And, as we already know, at least Tina Chang, of the list of terrorists that we have is in fact one of the Starchildren. She recently came out as such in an interview with myself during a protest of the facility, which we now know was most likely a means to observe the building in order to attack it," Andrea Carmichael reported. "If anyone sees any of these people, authorities are stressing to not engage with them, please. Instead, alert the Global Defense Agency in your area…"
