"What the hell!?"
"I can see now that it is time to reveal myself to you all. The secret can be held no longer nor can the prophecy be held at bay. Child, you are the twin to our beloved Prince of the Moon. Your pod had been damaged in the landing and Nasedo felt it necessary to detain your body longer so that he could be sure no damage was done. Have no more doubt as to who you are. They will teach you more about yourself as I have been trying to do with them."
"Who the hell are you? What prophecy?" Michael erupted.
The apparition turned to face Michael. "I am the guardian of your spirits. My name is Kytanna. Just as Jaiden was in charge of keeping your bodies safe from harm, I am to protect you with my very life."
"Who's Jaiden?" Maria questioned.
"You know him by the name Nasedo. He is nothing but a bodyguard for you all. I am terribly sorry for deceiving you but I thought it would be the only explanation you could take at the time. Since the time of your bonding, oh prince, you have been able to connect with your twin and locate her. This sacred link could only be established after you found your soul mate for you were never controlled enough to focus on your own." She raised her hand to rest it on her shoulder.
Michael appeared to be seeing through a red film. "Why did you try to keep us away from the humans for so ling then! You always pushed us towards our pod mate and away from our human companions. Why is it suddenly okay now?" Michael turned, furiously storming around the room.
"None of you were ready to complete the cycle of boarding. How could any of you grow without finding the core of your being? After the orbs were found and the message was heard you were free to move down the path your soul formed for you. Max and Liz have rediscovered each other and are beginning the cycle that you and Maria have so recently completed. Your mind was freed and it soared through the depths of your being to begin the connection that brought you all together now."
Taja slammed out of her seat. "So let me get this straight. I'm an alien, I have a twin brother, he has a soul mate and a brother and a sister who are also twins. We complete a square that does something so important that there is a bodyguard protecting the four and a spirit guide. What the hell is going on? Why are we even here? Why are we so important? Why did you call Michael the Prince of the Moon? I don't understand!" she looked as though she couldn't decide whether to weep of tear her hair out.
Kytanna reached out to Taja. Whispering her lips along the beloved princess' cheek, a vision, a sudden knowing was flowing though her. Taja held her eyes open wide in awe. All around her, in the blink of an eye, were glorious marble buildings, glittering towers of precious stones under a lavender sky Kytanna stood to her left, holding her hand.
They walked forward onto the building directly in front of her. The mural painted on the ceiling was crusted with otherworldly gems, shimmering with vivid color.
"This is your history, your future, your present. Your story is written on these walls, that and the life of your brother. This temple to the Moon was erected in honor of your stations. Michael, Rath as he was back then, was the Prince of the Moon, Prince of Rouchelle. You were known as Ava, although Taja suits you much more comfortably. The two of you gained power when your mother, the Queen of Rouchelle, married the King of Chevreuse. His twin children, Zan and Vilandra were given control of the two bodies while you two became generals of your armies. Together the royal four enstilled peace and tranquility to the new nation. To ensure stability and to keep the throne safe, the courts affianced you for. Because the marriages were indeed arranged, they were looked upon as legal arrangements, only true on paper. The four were permitted to have lovers and the children of such unions were to be recognized as heirs. Fortunately for you all, no children were conceived at the time of your departure. All of the trouble started when Vilandra ended a peticularly horrendous relationship with a foreign head of state. Khivar, the General of the Armies of Shantiel, did not take the rejection well and in turn, took over the Chevreuseian Princess' mind, forcing her to reveal delicate information regarding the security of the planet. An invasion was begun and the King and Queen sent you four to the planet where your destinies were prophesized to begin. Peace has since been regained on your planet but now Khivar and his army has sworn revenge and wil stop at nothing until he has destroyed your very being."
"So my world is safe? Rouchelle and Chevreuse?" Taja wondered.
Kytanna looked grave as she held on tighter to Taja. "Only your lives are in peril now."
