As they were all talking, Liz knew she had to tell them about Tess. But before she could begin,a young woman walked up. She had tawny blonde hair and ice-blue eyes. Her long hair was put up in the "odango" style. "Serena?" Ava gasped. Serena smiled. "Hello Ava. I see you have gotten your memories back" she said. Her voice was husky but sweet.
"You know her?"Max blinked. "Yes. She.. she's our protector.
"I was also the Priestess of Isis. I was the one whom Isis appeared to and told me that Nefertiri was the Daughter of Isis and the Chosen one-the guardian of the bracelet. I am also the Dupes protector. See, the one you called 'Nascedo' was the one who shape-shifted into the Doctor. He would have never killed a human. His name was Rayson. He was killed by the traitorous shapeshifter-Edwayes. I found out later that he escaped from the FBI and put Ava with the Dupes. I had come in a later ship bringing the Granolith.
I was horrifed.I was assigned the task of the Dupes protector. I was descended of the clan who invented the Granolith so I didn't know where to begin. I would have told Ava about her pastlife as a noblewoman of Cyprus and her love for the son of the great Medjai leader but I didn't want to confuse her or put her life in danger. Lonnie threatened to kill me if I didn't leave. You probably think it is insane for me to be afraid of her since my powers are stronger then hers were at the time but I knew what she was capable of. See, you four are true Royal Four. See, everyone has a good and evil side to them. The dupes-Zan, Rath,and Lonnie are pure evil. When transferring the essences, somehow the Dupes got the pure evil side of the soul. Your four are normal. But Tess.. well I'm afraid even in Egypt Anck-renamen was treacherous." Serena shook her head."So I didn't betray my family?" Isabel asked in a quivering voice. Serena shook her head no. "Althena-Tess's old name used her ability to mindwarp to make everyone think you two were in love when in reality it was Althena who betrayed everyone. Before she died she made sure Lonnie would have her memories.It was only fuel for Lonnie's treachery.Now we must be careful. Kivar is coming to Earth to try to kill Nefertiri."
Liz and the others gasped. Max stepped in front of Liz. "They'd have to get by me first" he growled. Alex walked up to Liz and put his arm around her protectively.
"And me. No one hurts my little sister" he narrowed his eyes. Liz sighed. "Alex, please don't go all big brother on me. In this lifetime we're the same age" "I know but you're still my lil sis" Alex grinned. "Why do they want to kill Liz?" Maria asked.
"Because she is the guardian of the Phoenix bracelet, the Daughter of Isis. She is the Chosen One who will save this planet. It has been prophecized when she was born"
"And what of the Granolith?" Michael asked. "It can be used as a time machine, right?" Kyle asked. Serena nodded. "Yes. By inserting the right crystal into it, it can do almost everything. Like blow up a planet. Its energy is limitless. The Phoenix bracelet is the same. But the Granolith is a bit different-it's tradtional guardians were the Royalty of Antar. It symbolized their right to rule."
