Chapter 20
Meeting Elana
Antarui's P.O.V.
I smiled as I landed my ship in front of Varon Temple. It's been two weeks since the monster attacks and everything has calmed down. I thought that I could get some advice on who this enemy is and who that mysterious purple monkey is? It might help to make sense of a few things.
I walked in and was greeted by the students of the temple. They spoke to me calmly like always, but I could tell that something was worrying them. " Nice to see you again, Antauri. Master Xan is a little busy with one of his former students, but you can see him when he's done. So follow us, please."
As I followed them I asked them what was wrong. " Is something wrong?" One of them sighed before they answered. " Actually, one of Master Xan's former students was severely injured about a week ago. She's fully recovered now, but she lost all memories not tied to this place. All of us are worried about her. She was always so bright, cheerful and a bit of a troublemaker, but now she looks so sad and confused. How about I take you to them right now, Antauri?"
I nodded as they led me to a small room enough for five people. In the room was a cloaked figure. I recognized the cloaked figure to be the mysterious female that saved me two weeks ago and left so suddenly. Master Xan was in front of her and it looked like they were arguing. Then the cloaked female spoke to him in a desperate tone, but with determination.
"Please Master Xan! I need to go back there! It's the only way that I can figure out who I am! I need to go to the place I was attacked! Please, Master Xan! I need to do this!" He sighed softly before he spoke. " Very well, but you need to take someone with you, but it can't be Kita or Lucien."
She sighed before she spoke harshly. " Fine! I'll be in my room when you decide! I'll be with Kita and Lucien until then!" Then she left the room passing by me with a curious look before she walked by.
Master Xan sighed before he muttered something. " Always so headstrong. I wonder who you got that from?" Then he noticed me and asked a question. " Did you witness that argument, Antauri?" I answered Master Xan truthfully. " Only from the part where she wanted to know who she was." He nodded before he replied gently.
" She was the first student that I ever taught. When I first met her, she was kind and gentle, but I could tell that she was confused about herself. She never argued with me once during her training, and I feared that her enemies might use that against her. However, when she returned her 30 years ago, she became so headstrong and argumentative, it was hard to believe that she was the same one that I taught so many years ago. I could tell that something happened to someone dear to her and that she believes that they will meet again, but in the meantime, she's happy with her daughter Kita and her friend Lucien."
I nodded before he asked me something. " Listen Antauri, can you do me a favor?" I nodded as I asked about it. " This has to do with her, doesn't it?" He nodded as he spoke seriously. " Before I can explain the favor, I need to tell you the situation behind it."
I nodded as he continued with his explanation. " Around a week ago, she was scouting the ruins of a recently destroyed planet searching for clues on what her enemy was up to. However, during her scouting mission she was attacked by an unknown enemy. We managed to rescue her and chase it away, but she lost consciousness soon after. When she woke up, she lost all memories that weren't tied to here. After she recovered, I told her to wait before she decided to go back to recover her lost memories." I nodded as he asked me his favor. " So Antauri, will you protect her while she goes back to regain her lost memories, and get her back safely please?"
I nodded before I answered. " Of course, I'll go get my ship ready. When do we leave?" He looked at me gently before he answered. " Tomorrow, you'll both need your full strength if you're going back there. You both need to be ready for anything. Let's go tell her then, shall we? Talking to you might help ease her mind."
I nodded as we walked to her room. As we stood in front of the door, I heard a female voice. " You may enter, I'm not doing much." We walked in to see the cloaked female looking at a photo with a black monkey with yellow-green eyes. She sighed as she put the picture away as she looked at us.
She looked at Master Xan seriously as she asked her question. " So have you decided yet?" He nodded before he answered. " Yes, this is Antauri. He was my student after you. I'm sure that he'll be able to get you there safely and back. Why don't you two get to know each other." He nodded as Master Xan left and she went to look at one of the photos in her room.
The photo had four robot monkeys in it. One was golden with bubblegum pink eyes and a kind look on her face. Another was a blue monkey with black eyes and an intelligent look on his face. Then there was a black monkey with yellow-green eyes and a calm look on his face that looked like me. The last was a purple monkey with sea green eyes with pink accents on her helmet and a gentle look on her face, but with a hint of mischief in her eyes.
The female sighed as she explained the photo. I don't remember how I got this photo. However, I can tell that I used to be friends with the ones in it." Then she turned to face me with a gentle look on her face before she continued. " I don't know why, but for some reason you seem familiar to me Antauri. I'll trust you to take me back to where I was attacked safely and back. Thank you for helping me, Antauri. It really means a lot to me."
I smiled gently as I replied. " I'm more than happy to help. It's the least that I can do."
