Hidden Past
Chapter 9- The legend of Ian.
"So who was he?" Relena asked in earnest.
Emerald stared at her for a moment.
"Relena what do you remember about this place?"
Relena looked at her with questioning but then answered the question. "All I knew of this place was the castle."
"That's it? Not one vision, one dream of a man with blond hair?"
"No" Relena said as she looked into the queens eyes, but then an old memory came back to her. She did have a dream about that man.
"I mean yes, but I remember it very vaguely."
"Tell me what you seen." The queen asked. Her eyes still focused on Relena's.
"Well I seen a man, with blond hair, he wasn't mean or cruel but actually nice. I seen him in that dream laughing."
The queen closed her eyes and turned away. Her hands were clenched together on her chest. "Do you know why you had that dream. Do you why he spoke to you and laughed with you in that dream?"
Relena shook her head.
"It was because he did laugh and joke with you. Relena, he is your brother. Millardo Peacecraft." It seemed to painful for her to say the last two words. His name. So many questions came to Relena's mind.
"Why did my brother tried to attack you?" The question seemed to take the Queen off guard. She straightened up and turned to face Relena once again.
"Relena you must understand something about that timeframe before I answer that. My world and the worlds that were around us hated the planet Ian. They inhabitants on Ian were smart and brave, but cruel and selfish. For thousands of years they tried to take over. Then the final war broke out. It happened a hundred years before I reined. They took control of the planets of the East first. Then their power and greed started going to the West. It seemed that nothing could stop them. For the East and the West planets is where the entire Universal Armies kept there most dangerous and most lethal weapons.
There were smaller weapons in individual planets but those never stood a chance against the Ian's new power. It seemed to be the end of all. They soon took of the North and then they started taking the southern planets. They arrived on this planet before long. The wars fought on these grounds were the most terrible and most saddening wars ever fought on these lands.
The Armies of the Ian soon took over. No one even tried to resist. 'What use would there be.' many would say. Some managed to escape the planet and go to earth. A planet that was unknown to the Ian at that time. Now my father, an archeologist, traveled to earth when the war broke out.
Ten long years past when he left. He, acted like nothing had happened. That there was no war, no Ian. He went to work as an ordinary earthling. Not a care in the world. He soon started studying the paintings of the Egyptian culture. And found to his slight astonishment that there was a weapon buried under the sand. Now many archeologist at the time laughed at this. But he knew that every planet had some sort of power, some sort of purpose. It took another year to dig up the weapon. You see it was so small you would probably have missed it if you'd use magic to dig through the sand.
He grabbed the weapon and traveled back here. When he got back he could not believe his eyes. There was no grass, no ponds, and practically no life another than the human figure. Many people were wearing rags, so skinny from the lack of food that they had to eat there own dead just to survive. Others were sold as slave to the people of the Ian. Now my father, being as healthy as he was, was spotted in an instant. They grabbed him and took him in front of there king of Ian. And do you know what he did?"
Relena shook her head no.
"He drank the weapon. For the weapon was a great power. Harmless alone. But inside a human being they could use it. For any purpose he or she wished.-
"Now the king thought he drank poison. and sent him away. But he did not move. So they used magic to try move him. That too did not work. And then when they placed there hands on him, they soon were on the floor screaming with pain. But then the pain and the screaming started to ignite even in those who hadn't laid hands upon him were screaming with agony. When he walked out of the room and the screams stopped. and they were found dead."
" But what does that have to do with my brother."
" I'm not finished."
"Now my father used the power to destroy the forces of Ian. But the Ian forces did not go down easily. They fought back with the power of the planets they took over. But there's something very special about Earth. You see before human's appeared on Earth. They're was many races and species that lived there. And those were the most powerful and fierce being ever to be found.
Now my father took that power and with the power that was already in him fought. The Ian powers only lasted a few short months before dying off.
"But what if they come back. Since he use the power of Earth what would we have to fight back with."
"Relena a power never dies it just gets used sometimes but it always grows back. back. Every year that power gets renewed. No one can explain it, it just happens.
Now Relena my father found something out that shocked him. The power that he drank wasn't going to die with him. It became part of him and therefore it became a part of his future generations.
That power was passed on to me and then I gave birth to a son. That power was given to him to. And it was given to you as well.
"You mean I..."
"But I think you have more than any of us."
"What do you mean. More than you."
"You see the power came from Earth. And you grew up on Earth. Being close to that energy makes you more powerful than any of us. "
"How can you be so certain though."
"Because before I died, when I used that power I put a spell on you and I know your brother put the same spell on you. But still you dreamed, had visions. And you called someone to bring you back. Maybe you wasn't aware of it but your spirit and your heart did."
"What are you talking about."
Emerald waved her arm and a someone appeared. It was Heero. "Heero, what does he have to do with anything."
"He has a power in him too. Not as powerful as you but there is a power in him that too is unusual. You see everyone in the universe has a power of there own. Some were given power either by heritage like you or by fate. Others get powers by other ways but I'm not sure how.
Heero was meant to find you just like you were meant to come here and meet us."
The queen looked up for awhile like she was listening to something that could not be heard and then she stared back at Relena.
"There is so much I want to tell but there isn't enough time. When you go back find Noin. Use the Trios help find her. She is both wise and strong."
All of a sudden Relena was on the ground her head drowning in pain. The queen stood up. "You'll figure out the rest. I've just given you a starting place."
Relena surroundings started to change. She was back in the palace.
Quatre ran down the hall. "Are you all right?" He helped the figure get up. "Wufei, Trowa get down here now. I've found her."
Two figures appeared in front of them. "Well done Quatre."
"You do realize that are time is running out."
"Yes Wufei we all know that."
"Soon they'll confront each other."
