Ch.10 ~ Lady of the Omega
"What??????", Serena shrieked when she returned, ascertaining that the Omicrox had vanished. "But who would want it??? How does someone know about it?"
Luna sighed. "Artemis and I looked into it. There is an evil force known as Azraelis. The central power is…Queen Beryl's daughter Queen Ahraune"
Raye raised her brows. "Queen Beryl had a daughter??", she asked in slight disbelief.
Artemis nodded, and leapt onto a tall stool. "Yeah, we just found out today. This Queen Ahraune….she looks really devoted. She looks like a malevolent person. I'd be careful if I were you. You wouldn't want to mess with her…"
"So you think she's the one who stole the Omicrox?", Serena asked, leaning in anxiously.
"Probably", the two cats replied together.
"Oh…well then why can't we just go find that Queen and destroy her with all of our powers combined?"
Luna sighed again and shrugged her lean velvet black limbs. She wished it would be that easy, but this new force seemed unpredictable not to mention incredibly powerful. How would the girls prepare themselves for an evil power filled with such malice? They needed to figure out what was going on, before it was too late…

"Experiment O", the old man announced. "Will prevent the collision of Orpheus and Earth."
The crowd beneath him cheered as he raised the baby higher, for all of Orpheus to see. Some people in the multitude of Orpheans gasped at the beauty of such a fair child. It was a female child, who would bring glory and perpetual life to Orpheus by preventing the collision. The Orpheans stood watching the old man as he explained the collision and the Experiment baby. There had been many failures of experiments in the past, and the crowd became easy when the man explained the chances of fault.
The cheers of the crowd were suddenly droned out by a soft lullaby, sung by a mellow female voice. The language was foreign, but somehow amazingly understandable.
"When we meet, the stars will fall. Sweet rain of fire, flourish above all. Passion of love", the voice and light violin tune in the background faded slowly, and was replaced by a low male voice.
"Lady Ira….", it said almost frantically. "Lady…."
Ira opened her eyes and groaned softly as the first things she saw were Seizm's green eyes. Sitting up on her bed, she placed her hand on her forehead. "I had a dream…", she whispered softly.
Seizm nodded and sat down next to her. He raised his hand, and touched her necklace, tracing it with his finger. With the other hand, he held out a beautiful black stone with a blue center. "The Omicrox"
Ira's eyes widened a little and she let out a small gasp. "That? That is the Omicrox? Its…so…beautiful…"
He said nothing and slipped the Omicrox into the empty silver pendant. The moment he did so, the room became luminated with an azure glow. Being so used to darkness, Seizm became blinded by such glarious light, and he looked away from the girl. When the light dimmed, he turned and saw a beautiful woman floating over the bed where Ira had perviously been sitting. Her long black hair cascading over her dazzling silvery icy blue clothes.
"Lady of the Omega", Seizm called, hoping his mission had just been accomplished.
She sighed. "Seizm…", she said softly, leaning in. "I remember now…I remember Orpheus…its so clear to me now…" Resting her forehead against his, she let out a sigh.
Feeling her so close, he closed his eyes. "Good", he muttered. "There is not much time left before the collision…" He reached up and touched the glowing necklace, pushing down on it. As he gently pushed her away, the glow dimmed, and the infinite number of flowing blue clothes began to fade and wilt with the dark.
"Experiment O…", she whispered as she fell back. "is me…"
