The stars shone brightly casting a white glow to the darkness. She same to
a decision. It was for Tucana. She got up with Cygnus close behind as she
strode purposefully towards the Palladium Hall where they awaited. Hybrids?
This was new. But this meant that she would see Tucana again right? No,
just his spirit. He probably wouldn't even know who she was. They were sent
with their mates? As in marriage mates? I was just asking; no reason for
any other mates. A year, but anyone might get to them by then. Other
protectors. Why aren't I in that category? Right, of course. A year then.
Lets hope they're ok till then.
"Well, Michael, you're being kinda vague." Max leaned forward on the table.
"I'm telling you Max, these dreams mean something. I've been having them for a few weeks now." Michael knows his mistake straight away.
"What," Isabel sat up, "your having dreams that could actually mean something and you don't even tell us?"
"Wait, everyone just, just shut up a minute. He hasn't even told us what they're about, yet we're all jumping down his throat."
Michael shot a thank you glance at Liz and continued.
"Ok, well. They seem to be in a kind of story y`know?" Everyone stared at him blankly.
"Well, one night I dream that I'm on this hill, and it's my home. And then the city next to it gets attacked. On another night I might be wandering round the city, after its been attacked. It's confusing." Michael looked frustrated and ground the palms of his hands into his eyes. "But all I can feel is panic and fear for other people. But I don't know who. Plus I don't know if this was my last life, or maybe someone else's."
"You've thought a lot about this huh?" Max tried not to look annoyed, but failed as Michael, Maria and Liz looked at him warily. It was then Isabel and Max knew that they were the last to be told. And they knew exactly why- the division that had occurred over the past few weeks.
"Does Kyle know?"
"Well, sort of....."
"Sort of?"
"Well, yeah he does ok."
Max and Michael were staring at each other. Liz decided this was the time to break up this little party.
"Ok, well. I think we've all had enough tonight, so come on Maria, we need to clean up."
Everyone stood up slowly. Michael left straight away, followed by Isabel. Max looked as if he wanted something, but decided to leave.
Maria sighed "Well, wasn't that a great pile o`fun?"
She sat waiting impatiently. They were a week late with this thing. A week! She should have been on her way to make sure Tucana's "spirit" was ok. But no. Damned royal mechanics can't seem to fix the bloody ship. She sighed and watched the mechanic walk closer. He smiled shyly- she just stared stonily. Finally; I thought I'd never leave. She picked up her bag and stepped onto the ship. She was alone. I guess they couldn't find anyone like me to go, and of course they weren't gonna risk putting any of themselves in danger! Typical. I may be saving their royal and important asses but they still don't trust us. She sat down at the control panel. She had done this dozens of times before. Ready...3...2...1...GO! She smiled as she entered the atmosphere of space, and the blackness surrounded her. From here, the 5 moons made a pattern in the sky looking as if they were taking part in an ancient ritual. She pressed down the white button on the control panel, taking as many pictures as possible. She wanted to remember. Just in case...
