1 Chapter 4- Royal Lineage



"Listen to me and listen well this story has only been passed down from parent to child for many generations no one out side our family knows this story.

"Kali is no ordinary teenager…she is a Princess by birth, the last heir to an ancient throne."

"But that means you're a…a-"

"A king? Yes I am. I was crowned over 50 years ago as King. As a member of the royal household I, was well as my children, have a life span triple that of a normal human."

"Who are you where do you come from?"

"I come from a place that was hidden long ago: Gaia. Gaia was a world full of new and old wonders where Earth mythology was reality. My family bloodline ruled over all of Gaia. We were given the responsibility of watching over and protecting Earth and Gaia. That's when the five power stones were created, that's why they were created. The blue stone: Justice and light, the red: Courage and Honor, the green: Faith and Peace, Yellow: Love and Trust, and lastly the purple stone of Hope and Liberty. After we accepted the responsibility of protecting the two worlds the first Queen used her magic to create the five power stones to help protect the two lands. She gave the stone of light and justice to her daughter and ever since then it has been passed down from parent to child for generations it is genetically encrypted to our DNA, no person on either world can use it now. It is filled with the power of our family line, it is the strongest of all five and rules over the others. Together though they can create a force strong enough to destroy both worlds through all time and space."

"I don't understand if your this King you say you are and Kali is a princess then why are you here? How come your not in your palace?"

"My family was forced to go into hiding 10 years after my grandfather was crowned. The Guardians could no longer protect us, we were on our own. The stones had been scattered through out both worlds. The only thing we knew was that the stone of Light and justice would find its way to the heir sooner or later. So we fled the palace in Gaia some of the people took residence in Gaia creating the royal households that now exist there, others came here and began a new life on Earth waiting for the time when I could return and reclaim my throne. It was here that Kali was born. The first of her kind. There has never been a child like her born of both Earth and Gaia we had no idea how strong her powers would be or that the manacle of light and justice would find it's way to her. We…I never intended this to happen, if I could go back to Gaia I could've known things were this bad but not knowing I had no idea. Taking her back there means there is a threat two both worlds she must face. GOD I SHOULD HAVE TOLD HER!" Smash! A small flower vase broke as he hit it. Dawn walked over and picked up the pieces "Cherry Blossoms, her favorite. I miss her so, I hope she's ok."

"So do I Dawn, so do I. A princess…a real live princess and in real danger."

"She's my daughter, A Princess, a warrior, she can over come this evil but not alone she needs help. But who is left on Gaia to help? The guardians never told their children who they were and their duty. All the guardians are dead by now…who can I call upon?"



"Everyone this is Kali Carter, my invited guest. She is from the mystic moon and will be staying with us till the time comes when we can find a way to send her home."

The members of the council murmured their welcome and one spoke.

"How can you trust her your majesty? What do you know of her?"

Van had expected this that was the reason he had sent the dress hoping they might be a little more accepting if she looked like an everyday Gaiaen woman but she wasn't and it was shown in her dress. Dagan was looking quite smug at the Council member's comment. Van knew there wasn't much he could tell them, he might loose this but if so he planed to ask Millerna to take her for awhile. He was about to speak when

"What is it you wish to know gentlemen?"

Everyone looked at Kali those were the first words she had spoken since the council members had come in. They sat in stunned silence. "Well?" She asked.

"Where do you come from?"

"You know the answer to that." She said shortly. It was obvious she didn't like this one bit and was only going along to shut everyone up and to get one back at Dagan.

"Ah yes the mystic moon…what of your family? Friends? Perhaps the town in which you live?"

"None of that matters-"

"It's alright Va- Your Majesty. I live in Victoria although you have no Idea where that is. My friends are Dawn, Maya, Lynn, and Jane. Well my best friends I have many others. My father is Ryol (A/N: that's pronounced Ree- ol and it means King.) Carter and-"

"Wait did you say your father is Ryol?"

"Yes why?"

The council members started talking among themselves.

"Could it be the same Prince Ryol?"

"You mean King now he was crowned."

"Crowned King of what?"

"His family still rules!"

"Old nonsense, the royals died long ago the family line is dead."

"Then how do you explain this? And your talk is treasonous! You swore loyalty to them just like we did!"

"Are we going to take this from a Woman? She is just a girl after all!"

Kali was getting mad she had no idea what was going on but the conversation was going from this Prince or King or whatever he was to calling her a liar. Suddenly the glasses in front of the councilors broke.

"How dare you call me a liar! I have no idea who this King Ryol was but my father is not a King!"

"How dare you young lady! No woman talks to a man like that he stood up and slapped her. Her chair fell to the ground and her with it. She got up and looked the councilor in the eyes. He had been expecting an apology, what he got however was a hard punch in the jaw followed by a punch in the gut. She turned and left the hall without a word. No one stopped her as she left the hall and headed to her room. Sitting by the window staring at the stars she didn't move nor did she make a sound save her breathing. Hitomi walked into her room. Not waiting for a request to join Kali she sat right down next to her.

"Well they no longer think you're the daughter of King Ryol. Which means your off the hook for UN-princess like behavior."

Kali turned and looked at her

"I don't understand why they thought I was related to him in the first place."

"The name Ryol was only used once in all Gaiaen history and that was for the name of our last prince, he disappeared along with the other members of the royal family. According to Legend he was crowned 50 years ago had a daughter and hasn't been heard from since. When you said his name it brought back that legend for them and that scares them."

"Why?"

"The legend spoke of a time of great darkness in Gaia. Before this great darkness came the heir was to return to Gaia; Gaias last chance at Light and Justice if the heir should fail Gaia was doomed to Darkness and Injustice. That's why they feared you being Ryol's Daughter."

"I see…Then I guess you're lucky I'm not your Princess huh?"

"In a way."

"What do you mean?"

"If you were the Princess then Gaia would once again have its unifying symbol to unite around…Gaia could once again be at peace."

"I'm sorry I'm only a girl from Victoria with no royal blood. I can't help you."

"I know but you can still help here."

"How?"

"Your Bracelet."

"Huh?"

"We've discovered that it's called the Manacle of light and justice an ancient object of great power. If you can work with the people of Gaia and Fanalia then we might be able to use it to send you home the way it sent you here."

"It could send me home?"

"We think so?"

Kali lifted her right arm, the silver metal with a blue stone etched into it glowed in the moons light.

"Can it be true? I may go home soon?"

"It might take awhile but we will send you home."

"Thank you!" Kali jumped up and hugged Hitomi.

" * Mumhum *" Dagan cleared his throat. "Your majesty King Van would like to see you."

"Thank you Dagan. Sleep well Kali."

"You too Hitomi. And thank Van for me."

"For what?"

"For allowing me to stay."

"Sure."

"Thanks."

Hitomi got up and walked out of Kali's room towards her own room where she knew Van would be.

"So you're here to stay?"

"As soon as this thing can get me home I'm outta here and far away from your annoying ass, little boy."

"LITTLE BOY?! Listen girl do you think they'll let you go home with that weapon on your arm I think not. No you're here to stay!" Dagan smirked and left the doorway. Kali walked over and shut the door. She looked at the beautiful manacle on her wrist. / A weapon? Hitomi wouldn't lie it can't be a weapon can it? Oh what…who do I believe now? / Kali walked over and lay down on her bed, and fell into a restless sleep, her dreams filled of home and friends far far away.



Folken stared at the peaceful looking Village below, home or it had been once. After Dornkirk had died he found himself without a home so he wandered till he found The Lord as he called himself. After learning of his plans to destroy the mystic moon and take over Gaia Folken almost left because he wanted nothing to do with destroying the mystic moon and taking over Gaia. He soon realized however that that course of action was not wise so he joined the ranks of his Lord. Now about to reenter Fanalia to kidnap the King and Queen and the heir he was nervous he only had one shot at this if he failed neither his Lord nor Van would be forgiving. "Let's move out troops, stick to the plan as ordered and remember no one must see us coming or going!"

"SIR!" responded the troops as one.



A bright light filled the sky and lit the forest up like day. Then just as quickly as it came it left leaving a lone figure stand alone on the ground looking up at the sky.

"Good Luck. Bring Kali back safely, and come back safely yourself."

The figure turned and left without another word, disappearing into the night.



Kali woke with a start bolting up in her bed. Shadow woke up and looked at her. Kali was breathing hard as if she had been running. She looked around her room; nothing was there. She got up opened the window and sat down on the chair. "Dawn…Maya…Dad I will find a way back to you I promise."

Kali's mind drifted to her dream. Her friends had been in it, they had been in danger but they couldn't be in danger now could they? No she decided it had to be in the future, it was the only reasonable thing. She used her powers to bring a candle and a match to her. She lit the candle and placed it on the windowsill. She left the candle to burn and went back to bed. The lone candle flickered in the breeze but never died.

Kali awoke the next morning to find everything in a state of chaos. She left her room and went outside into the gardens right now was not the time to try and talk to Van or Hitomi she decided as they would both be very busy. She got half way to the gardens before she ran into trouble.

"HEY YOU!"

Kali sensing the speaker meant trouble turned to see who it was

"Dagan? What do you want?"

"YOU!" Dagan walked up to Kali and grabbed her and threw her to the ground. Kali pushed him back with her mental powers but as soon as she sat up another guard grabbed her and pushed her down.

"Why you ****ing son of a bitch! How dare you!"

More and more guards appeared. While they never stopped trying to tie her down it was apparent that they were surprised that a woman knew these words and actually used them. They finally bound her hands and pulled her up to face Dagan.

"What do you want?"

"What did you do with King Van and Queen Hitomi?"

"What ARE you talking about?"

"They're missing. You didn't you know?"

"Hell No! I've been asleep until 5 minutes ago"

"Likely story." He turned to the guards "Put her into the dungeon." He turned and left as the guards dragged Kali away.



Alone, cold and confused Kali sat alone and scared. With Van and Hitomi gone no one would be left to get her out of this place. She would be stuck here until Dagan decided to get rid of her. "Van…Hitomi where are you? Please be ok…" Kali broke down crying again. And that's how Kali fell asleep for the next three days, crying alone and cold.



Six figures met in the forest late at night. The meeting had been set up by two of them so the four could meet.

"Are you-"

"We are." The figures interrupted.

"We come in search of Princess Kali Carter."

"She is in Fanalia, we know that and she's safe as far as we know."

"Can you take us too her?"

"That depends…is she really the Princess?"

"She is, she doesn't know it yet. That is why we have come, to inform her. Her father the King could not come so he sent us."

"Very well but we must hurry time is running out."

"We'll be ready in ten." The figure turned. "Thank you Princess Millerna and Drydan. We couldn't have done this without you."

"Your welcome. Take care of Kali she'll be a good ruler."

"We shall. We have to go now, thank you again."

Millerna and Drydan watched as the four figures walked towards Fanalia.



Well what's going on? Who are these people going to see Princess Kali? Where is her dad? And what is Folken up to? To find out come back, I'll actually get on with the plot and actually let you guys figure some things out…or not. Anyway Tell me what you think and if I should make these things longer or not…actually tell me anything at this point I want to know opinions…please!!!!! I can beg if you want.
