Ch 3: Mother's past
The green-haired child and her mother were silent as they walked towards the Memory Temple.
Zesa was in the front leading the way. Both of them had been silent since they left together. She
was to frightened to speak as she had never before seen her mother like this.
It seemed like they had been walking for ages especially since her legs were aching. Pulling out a
watch from her pocket to look at the time she thought to herself "Weird, we've only been
walking for about five minutes. I wonder when I'll get to see mother deal with monsters."
"Actually we've been walking for about one and a half days, and I'm sorry no monsters have
attacked. I guess they're too slow." Sara suddenly said directly after her daughter's thought. Her
voice had changed as she said that the monsters were slow. In addition she had laughed a bit. As
her little demon was frozen from the response to her thought her mother stated disappointingly
"You of all people should've realized the change in the time flow. We have walked for one and a
half days yet only five little minutes have passed in all of Filgaia"
The young girl's face was as white as snow. Valleys of goose bumps started appear all over her.
Motionless like a statue her mother spoke again, "I know you must be scared, I had no right to
surprise you like that. I should've told you and Zed about this sooner, but I was too afraid that he
would think differently of me if he found out about me."
Zesa's petrification subsided, however she still stood there eager to hear what her mother had to
say. Although she was quite afraid as to what would be said. "I'll continue telling you about me,
but we must hurry to the temple so please lead the way."
Both of them resumed walking while her mother continued her story. "As your father and I got
closer he revealed to me his secret about being a demon. He was shocked to find out I had known
since he came. Zed's revelation made me feel a little better, but still I was afraid to tell him. Even
to this day he has no idea about who I really am."
Zesa, who was dying of curiosity rose her voice. "Things would make a lot more sense to me if
you told me your secret first."
Sara giggled quietly "Sorry. Well I'm not from Filgaia. I'm from a planet called Hiades. That
isn't my whole secret. The big secret is a very long story.
"We seem to have all the time in Filgaia since you changed it. Tell me everything and also teach
me the time trick." Zesa cheerfully stated as she held up her watch.
The blind woman smiled when her child wanted to learn time changing. "I will probably get to
teach you all about your Hiaden powers very soon especially since you're already starting to
obtain them. Anyways my story begins 1100 years ago when I was a young child and still with
sight living in Hiades."
She sighed at the thought of seeing. " The Hiadens are taught from a very young age how to fight
both with magical powers and weapons. The demon queen, Mother, had appeared and vowed to
destroy my dear Hiades. Children weren't allowed to fight, however my older brother, Salk,
convinced the elders to allow me to accompany him in the war. Salk had become quite fond of
just using weapons in battle and had forgotten most of his powers. He needed me to be his
magic."
"Slowly he started to change. His years of just relying on his weapons possessed him, he had
forgotten the teachings of balancing fighting with physical and magical. Salk abandoned me in
the middle of nowhere. I was on my way back to a village when a young demon discovered me
and challenged me to the death. You presently know this demon as father."
The two women approached the entrance to the temple. Sara stopped telling the story. "Well here
we are, I'll finish my past later."
"But I wanna hear the rest of it now." Zesa whined. "You just had to stop when things were
getting good."
Sara held out her hand and a golden wand appeared. Its top had an interesting winged creature
holding a blue crystal. She pointed it at the door. "I'll tell you later, now let us go inside. Please
put in 'Emiko' as the password."
Inside Zesa approached the platform and did as she was told. A gate to the left opened. As soon
as Sara knew the door was open she walked up beside her daughter. "Now please put in 'Blue
Gate' as the password."
"O...k. the confuse little girl said as she put in the new password. When a match was found the
blue jewel on the platform started to glow as well as the crystal on her mothers wand.
The blue sparkles stopped and a sounds which sounded like the teardrop came from the other
room. "Mother what's going on?" Zesa said trying not to sound frightened.
"We're going on a little trip to Hiades. Now come along." The blind woman grabbed Zesa by her
hand and walked into the left room together and into a shiny blue portal.

Zed walked into the Adlehyde kitchen and sat down next to the new king and queen and of
course Jack. "Geez it's your wedding night, shouldn't you two be up in bed or something?"
Cecilia who hadn't noticed Rudy blushing and Jack holding in his laughter yelled at Zed. "ZED,
where did you hear such things?"
"Sara was explaining human weddings to me yesterday, if you have anything against what I said
complain to her since she told me. Speaking of her, have any of you seen her? I think I should tell
her that our kid left."
"Now that I think about it I haven't seen her since after the attack." Hanpan responded.
"Dammit, I hope she didn't leave again. Sometimes she disappears for days and never tells me
where she goes." Zed said angrily.
Jack who had found joy in teasing Zed looked toward him, "maybe she went to visit her other
man again."
Zed, who had always hated Jack since he was the only one against allowing him stay with the
blind woman, had suddenly grown more hatred towards him. The demon suddenly got a great
comeback for Jack's comment. "It's easy to see why your woman left you for Alhazad."
"HEY. Don't you dare talk about my Elmina like that." Jack demanded. "You're the one with the
runaway daughter and missing girlfriend."
"At least mine remembers who I am." Zed stated proudly. He was actually coming up with
decent comebacks.
"Stop it you two. We've got a big day ahead of us tomorrow." Cecilia threatened them with her
wand. "Now let us all get some sleep. We need to be up early tomorrow." Cecilia grabbed
Rudy's arm and dragged him out of the kitchen to their new room.
"Geez, human woman have a lot of mood swings. Well I'm off to bed." Zed left towards the
guest room. Jack and Hanpan following behind. "Oh, Jack. Where are we going tomorrow
anyways?"
"Port Timney. Cecilia said the pub should contain lots of information." Hanpan said.

Somewhere in another realm...
A small but powerful funnel cloud landed on the cool brick of a castle creating a tornado. A
white tiger manifested from the gusts and walked in. A woman with a long flowing white dress
stood looking out of a window a lion warrior to her side wielding a blade. The tiger bowed down
"Lady Raftina, Lord Justine, are the rumors true about Luceid?"
"Yes, Fengalon." Replied the angelic goddess. "Zephyr left in search of her since she's still alive.
I hope she will forgive us and take her rightful place as the fourth guardian lord."
The wind tiger took a few steps closer. "I can't believe Luceid had been right for all of these
years. It's been over 1000 years, do you think she would forgive us for exiling her?"
"Only time will tell." She responded.
A ticking sound began. "Did somebody mention time." A giant clock appeared on the floor a
black cat wearing a red coat jumped out. "Master of time, Dan Dairam is here."
"Actually Dan Dairam we could use you." Justine said. "Find out how long we have to wait until
Zephyr gets here with Luceid."
The kitty held up a pocket watch and watched as the hands turned at amazing speeds. "Such good
timing hope has. Just a minute to go. With him comes Luceid and somebody else we know."
Fengalon laughed, he always enjoyed Dan Dairam's rhymes. "Will this be a private meeting or
can time and I stay?"
"I see nothing wrong with you two present." Said a feminine voice from outside. A wolf covered
with dark blue and purple flames walked through the door. A green dragon was to her right and a
tall man with black armor and a boomerang on his back was following behind the wolf.
The four guardians in the room all gasped. Justine held out his sword towards the demon
"What's he doing here."
The green dragon flew and landed between Boomerang and Justine. "Back courage, Luceid
would only come if I agreed to accept her request."
"Oh, Justine please don't point your sword at my future guardian." Luceid said protecting her
master of 1000 years.
"Lord Zephyr, you're allowing Luceid to make this demon a guardian?" Raftina said in a
surprising tone.
The green dragon nodded. "Luceid would only come on this condition."
"You three left me out there to die 1000 years ago. If it wasn't for Boomerangs strong desire in
his heart, I would've die. Also he's going to be a lot cooler than the guardians you've created. I
never saw any purpose for a sword guardian." Luceid said trying to hold in her resentment for
what they had done.
Justine turned towards Zephyr. "Lord Zephyr, he's not fit to become a guardian. His obsession to
fight will control him and he'll kill us all."
"Luceid took my desire to fight from my heart. I no longer wish to battle, except to protect those
I've hurt in the past. I assure you that I won't cause any trouble." Boomerang said while
removing his helmet.
Justine looked upon the warrior standing before of him and gasped. "You're not a demon."
"Silence Justine. Love, hope, and courage please join me as we create the newest guardian. He
will be the opposite of Ione Paua, the darkness guardian." The guardian lords created a rainbow
of light which went encased Boomerang. Fengalon and Dan Dairam stood there in awe, this was
the first time they had seen a guardian being born.
The lords stopped creating the light. Where Boomerang once was stood an egg of light. It then
shattered releasing the newest guardian. He was now a black man with a long black tail. He had
two black ears like a wolf and a red jewel on his chest where his 'B' once was. He only wore
white gloves and white anklets. In a cold voice he spoke his first words, "I am the darkness
guardian Leitea Salk."
The green-haired child and her mother were silent as they walked towards the Memory Temple.
Zesa was in the front leading the way. Both of them had been silent since they left together. She
was to frightened to speak as she had never before seen her mother like this.
