Chapter 20:

Forgotten

(Maria's POV)

I heard voices but, I couldn't open my eyes.

- Why did you bring her here?- ask a woman very familiar to me.

- Because she holds a great power. I face her went I try to bring back Aria. Her light is much more brighter than the old Athena and even much more of Aria.- say a man very familiar too.

- Either way we should hold her here, for that we should take measures so, she will not try to escape.- say another woman that I didn't recognize.

- What do you have in mind?- ask another man that I didn't recognize either.

- You will see that she will be in our mercy.- say the woman and later I couldn't hear more.

(Sonia's POV)

I have been waited the entire morning to see what Medea did to Maria. I was afraid that she will do something terrible to her. If she is who I think she is, then… I most protect her with my life at any cost. Then Medea came from no where and put a hand on my shoulder.

- Don't worry Sonia, that girl is fine right now, she just need some rest for now.- say Medea leaving me.

- Medea! What did you do exactly to her?- I ask worry.

- I just erase her memory, that's all.- say Medea making me to be surprise of that. - She will not remember anything about her past. Not of what happen yesterday of backwards. She will be as a blank page, Sonia, I want you to look after her. We don't know if she will recover her memories as soon as possible so… you will make her one of us.

- Yes.- I say. So this was their plan after all, to make her an ally. I will give her all my care… after all she deserves it. She never knew me, and I will tell her the truth now that she doesn't remember anything because if she does remember… she will hate me more than ever. That will only break my heart if I see her sad face. I enter to her room, and I sit down on her side, I took off my mask and I will let her see my face. She look like Shun in many ways, the form of her hair was like his, I touch her hand and I could feel that it was very soft like his skin. That only make me cry at the thought of that, I didn't notice that her hand was squeezing my hand very gently. I look at her face and I saw how she open her eyes very slowly. Those eyes were hers, I remember those eyes very well… it was her… it was really her.

- Why are you crying?- she ask me. I look at her surprise, I never thought that she will ask me that. She sit down and put her other hand in my face to take my tears away from my face. She was so kind like him. - Please, I don't want to see you cry.

- I'm not crying of sadness. I'm crying because… your alright.- I say and I hug her tightly with me, I was so happy that she was fine but, most of all, she was with me.

(Maria's POV)

I didn't know why but, I like that she hug me, it make me feel like I was really with someone very important to me. For some reason she knew me, I didn't remember anything about me except my name but, who was she? Then we separate and I saw that she have scratches.

- What happen to you?- I ask her.

- Oh, this are my scratches of battle, you see I'm a high Martian.- she say to me.

- High Marian?- I ask her.

- Yes, oh, I see that you have many questions to ask me right?- she ask me. I only nod and start with my questions.

- Who are you?- I ask.

- My name is Sonia, Hornet Sonia.- she say smiling at me. - I'm… your mother.- that got me surprise but, not to much because the way I felt with her a few moments ago only explain that she was really someone close to me after all. I smile at her and we talk all the time. She told me that I shouldn't call her mother outside of these walls because nobody knew that I exist. She say that it was to protect me or they will kill me if they knew. She also told me that we were in war, with the Saints and that Athena was with us. Also she told me that I was a Saint too but, not like the others, that I loyalty to Mars, my grandfather. I was the Saint of Cassiopeia, she also told me of who was my father, he was known as the Saint of Andromeda, Shun. She always say that I look like him, that I have his kindness and his happiness in me. She also warm me that behind those doors I most show respect and that the if we show compassion for someone, it will be consider as weakness and that we most not show weakness at all. She told me that the female Saints are order to wear a mask for all their life but, we could take it away if we want. But right now we most show respect so I put on my mask and she also did the same way. Once I was strong enough to stand up I went with her to Mars and I was surprise to see a woman with green hair and a boy almost like my age with her. In the middle was someone powerful because I only felt his cosmos and I stop in the middle of my path.

- Maria, you most not be afraid. His our monarch, the saver of the Earth, Mars.- say Sonia, I was glad that I was wearing the mask or they will all see my fear face. Once behind him I knee before him and I could feel his eyes on me.

- Stand up, my child. You will protect Athena with your own life. There are rebels that are against me and they want to stop the creation of the new world, a world where there wouldn't be violence and suffering.- say Mars.

- Yes.- I say. With that I was loyalty to my family and to the purpose of making a better world for everyone. After that encounter I went walking around the castle and found a piano in the living room. I went forward and sit down to play, I don't know how I knew the keys but, it most be because I love to play it. Once I start and close my eyes to imagine what I was really dreaming with that music. I don't know but, I really knew the name of the music, it was call… Now We Are Free.

(hear the music in here watch?v=pU5klqYYgak )

I imagine a green field, a sunny day, with a lovely breeze in it. It was so beautiful to see, it make me feel free for some reason. Maybe that's the reason why this music was call that way, it was about freedom… and freedom is… happiness. Went I finish I felt something uneasy, like if someone that I really care about was in trouble but… who?

- What a lovely music you play.- say a man from behind me. I turn around and found the half brother of my mother… Eden.

- Thank you but, I don't think that's the reason you're here, right?- I ask getting to the point.

- I see that you like it to get to the point in this moment. Fine.- say Eden and took my mask away to see my face. I wasn't afraid of him but, I could see that something was bothering him.

- Is something the matter?- I ask him but, he put the mask on the piano and keep staring at me with a serious look, then he turn around and leave. I don't know what was that about but, maybe he want to test me. By the time I return to my room there was a piano in there. I was shock to see that but, then I have a smile in my face and start to play it… I play a music that for some reason it was my favorite of all, it was call… Promise Of A Lifetime.

(hear the music in here watch?v=MS7MRurFWyg)

This time I imagine that I was in the space and that it was all harmony and peaceful, a certain constellation came to my mind, it was… Pegasus. I don't know why but, I let the same music involve me and to that constellation, it was I could give that person my force and to not give up. This music was as it could give life to anything in world with just hearing it. At the end of the music I felt fine and good. What ever what was waiting for me I will find it sooner or later.
