write it so it's not like the other story. Thanks for the reviews and I
hope you like this one)
Chapter three:
* The small child made her way into the hall. It was dark and no lighting illuminated the palace. She poked her head into every other room like she was searching for something. Her bare feet made no noise as she stepped upon the marble floor. Her red satin robes flowed gently behind her gliding across the floor. Her Maroon hair shined against the moonlight. She was royalty, the daughter of the King Usham.
She came to the balcony and stared across her kingdom. In the far west she could see the tip of the palace belonging to her Uncle Nabua. A giggle emitted from her lips. "A clear night isn't it?" the child turned to see her brother, Alaba. She smiled and turned back around as fireworks lit up the sky above Nabua's castle. "Pretty aren't they?" Alaba said as he knelt down next to her. "Nabua must be back from one of his space trips." "He's a pirate after all," the child finally said. "Yes he is." They watched as the fireworks grew in numbers. "But he is also a King and a dangerous one at that," Alaba turned to her with a sweet loving face. "Now come Nanoka. To bed with you," he took her in his arms and carried her off back to her room* Greta laid her head down on the table as the memory passed. A single tear fell from her eye and down her cheek. She placed her pen down on the table and looked over the Letter she had written:
Beloved brother, You may have been wondering why so long? Were you beginning to think I was dead? Funny isn't it, I can still feel you there for I know you are alive. Father has been gone for some time now and you are now the ruler of Anakas. Don't worry so, Brother I am in safe hands. I work on Cassiopeia's Knight and I go under a new identity, Greta. I am happy here, brother. It's what I want. You may find this life rather lonely but I'm not I live with the most wonderful people, Kara, her son Orion, Blain, Cole, Jolee, And of course Captain Drake. It's wonderful. I fear I will not be returning to my home for a while but for right now I claim this ship as my own. I hope you can understand. It took me so long to write to you because I feared you would not approve but I must. Good-bye for now Yours Always, ~ Nanoka ~ She stuffed into an envelope and stamped it with her emblem. "It is done."

"Okay where can we find this," Harper bit his lower lip as he glanced from one trader's stand to the next. He held the list of supplies Andromeda needed in one hand and Orion held his other. They were on a trading drift looking for supplies. It was crowded with people who were there just to make a bargain. "Orion?" "Yeah." "Don't let go of my hand okay?" "K daddy," Harper pushed through the crowd. After a while fearing he'd lose Orion he grabbed his son and sat him on his shoulders. "Alright now that that's done let's see," He checked the list again and looked around. "Bingo. Here it is. See O your daddy is a genius."

"Orion?" "Right here daddy," "All right stay inside O and I'll be finish up here." Harper finished packing up the Maru and was ready to go back to Andromeda. He climbed up into the ship and locked the door. He climbed into the captain's seat got comfortable and buckled up. In the co captain's seat Orion was buckled up playing with a miniature figure of Andromeda. Harper smiled, as he got ready to take off. "Ready O?" The boy just nodded. "Okay hang on," The Maru jumped as it lifted itself from the ground and was off into space.
