Kyp and Ky-Ra lurched back from each other at the sound of the voice. As
they turned towards the intruder, Kyp moved in front of the Ky rather
protectively. The person leaning the doorway was younger than both of them
and tall in a well-built way. He had longish black hair and eyes of the
same piercing blue that Kyp had seen on Stratus. Only this male was
younger, probably only about sixteen.
"Rus!" Ky-Ra cried as she launched herself towards the figure.
The young man in question opened his arms and enveloped the young queen as she ran to him. Kyp didn't know whether to be angry about the display or greet the new guest.
"This is my brother, Cerberus," Ra said, solving the problem for him and looking fondly at the much taller family member.
Cerberus arched an eyebrow at Kyp and looked at him appraisingly. There was a threat behind his too blue eyes that Kyp realized he'd do well to take heed of. While on closer inspection there was something of the good-natured expression of his father to him, Kyp realized that both men were probably deadly when riled. Stratus wasn't the High General for nothing and judging from the bars on Cerberus's uniform, he wasn't far behind his father.
"Don't say anything," Ra commanded her brother rather imperiously.
"I won't," he said, but the look he aimed both of them said that we would if he felt he needed to.
"We found something, Ra," Cerberus said seriously.
The Ky watched her brother expectantly.
"There's a prophecy," he said, leaning back against the wall, "the prophecy talks about 'she who is not named' but that has unlimited powers. The Yuuzhan Vong are talking frantically about it now. It seems they feel that they know who it is. They think the person is here."
Kyp looked at the two siblings curiously. They stood together as though they were seriously considering the implications of what had been learned.
"It has no basis," Kyp said finally, "it could just be some random cracked prophecy for all you know. I see it as nothing to excited over."
"But it's enough to get the Vong excited," Ky-Ra said, "and I don't see them being this worked up unless there is some basis."
"They're religious fanatics, Ra," Kyp said skeptically.
"All the more reason to take this prophecy seriously," Cerberus threw in.
Ky-Ra sat down and took to twisting one of the many jeweled rings on her fingers. Her face looked deadly serious and her eyes were icy.
"We need to find this prophesied one," she said, her voice low and forceful, "this might be our only chance."
Cerberus sighed and shook his head.
"Not that easy, Ra," he said, "this person could be anyone for all we know."
It was Ra's turn to shake her head.
"Wrong, Rus. They've spent long enough ignoring us. I don't think it's just a coincidence that the Vong have decided to attack us right when they think they've figured out what their prophecy means."
"She's here," Kyp said quietly, "your prophesied one is on this planet."
A/N- Please do review. I honestly need feed back to be able to tell where to take this story and even if anyone is reading it to care.
