Who Am I?

Chapter One: Hotaru's First Lesson and A Mothers Promise
My earliest memory… that would be growing up at the palace on Saturn. I never knew my father. Oh, I think I have already confused you. I just finished saying I was the daughter of a scientist. That is true, at least, in this incarnation. My memories, however, span over two thousand years. My first incarnation was as the daughter and heir to the Royal House of Saturn, the title of Queen.
My lessons and preparation for the role I have to play began immediately once I was born.
"Hotaru," a voice whispered softly. What? Was that my name? Who was calling it? Opening my eyes, I saw a face; pale, kind, but sad. Long dark hair, black, and violet eyes that knew things I'd never want to know.
"Hotaru," she repeated, looking into my eyes, "I'm your Mother. You are my daughter, and you will be many things to many people as you grow, and mature. You will grow up, not alone, but separate. Your friends and loves will be few, Your enemies and Sorrows many. You will watch your friends die, you will kill; you will see worlds destroyed, and destroy them yourself. You yourself shall die, and then see the cycle repeated, as you also will lead the way to a new era. You won't like it, because you aren't required to, nor are you supposed to. I am going to teach you what your powers are and how to control them. I will show you what it is to laugh, love, and live. I will teach you all I know about life and death, as you cannot have one without the other, and you shall hold the Glaive of Silence, and decide on our world's fate."
She was right. I didn't like what this woman, Mother, was telling me. I'd kill? Destroy entire planets? Die? Watch others do the same, and decide on the fate of my world? I began to cry, and Mother wiped away my tears, comforting me, rocking me back and forth in her arms as she sang me back to sleep.
No, my mother didn't say that just so I would cry. She wasn't a cruel woman, she was honest. That was my first lesson about life: It will never be exactly what you want it to be, it just tells you what your role will be.
End Chapter One.
Loved it? Hated it? C'mon, guys, review me! Let me know what you think. I got the idea for this fic after reading Polgara the Sorceress by David and Leigh Eddings. I recommend you read it, but other books are before it. Anyway, let me know your reactions to this fic. Ja ne!
