Chapter 7
A crack of thunder shook the place walls, as Marvin fell out of the pillowed bed he was slumbering on. The room was darkened with small violet reflections shining through the large window overlooking the kingdom before him.
"Where am I?" he thought with a confused glare upon his face.
"The Venusian Place", spoke a voice from behind him. Marvin quickly spun around to find a hand maiden setting out a few robes for him.
"But I thought I was being sent to the arena!?" Marvin questioned to the young woman fixing his bed.
"You were", she answered, "but the Queen interfered with the situation. The Arena Penalty has been outlawed for over ten years, sir." Marvin bit his lip; he was still confused over the circumstances.
"Aren't I a prisoner?" he shouted in frustration. The young Venusian smiled down upon him.
"You must get dressed", she announced to Marvin, "The Queen will see you shortly. She will have an escort come to usher you to her dining chambers." Marvin gave his head a hard scratch. Why would the Queen want to see him?
When the young Martian was ready, one of the palace guards ushered him into the dining room. He glared up to see a woman standing at the other side of the table. She was about a foot taller than Marvin. The large amount of hair upon her head was supported up with a teal crown covered in white gems. The woman was curvy, and wore a bright green gown laced with white chiffon. Marvin stared bewildered toward the sight; he hadn't even glanced at her face yet. Yet when he did, he was mesmerized by the sparkle in her sapphire eyes, and gleaming magenta hair.
"You can sit now Mr. Martian", she suggested. Marvin blinked himself from the trance, as he realized he had been standing in his spot for quite a while.
"I want to thank you you're Majesty", Marvin began, "for sparing my life, that is."
"Oh pish posh!" she waved her hand in the air, "Senator Dewin had no control over what would become of you anyway. Someone was bound to step in sooner or later."
"Still", Marvin thanked, "I appreciate it." Even though the Queen couldn't see a smile from the darkened face of her company, she could still see some kind of a glow coming off of him. She began eating as she started up a different conversation.
"So what exactly brings you here?"
"I'm on an ambassador mission for the Queen of Mars", Marvin began explaining, "I'm here to study the land and culture."
"So this brings you to my next question Ambassador?" the Queen glared up not amused, "Why were you in the forbidden cave?"
"This is gonna sound stupid but", Marvin chuckled, "My vessel crash landed, and my brother was knocked out cold. I tried to find help, but when I reached a village, this piercing ringing was sounding off in my head. I tried to find help, but when I stepped onto the village grounds, it turned into a small song." The Queen dropped her fork on her platter with a loud clank. Marvin stared with widened eyes as she gave him a suspicious glare.
"What was it singing?" she questioned eagerly.
"Something about a spiritual light", Marvin enlightened.
"The light", she spoke under her breath, "but it can't be."
"You know what?" Marvin suggested, "I've been studying Venus my whole life, do you think the song was referring to the core of your planet."
"The core of my planet?" she starred confused toward the Martian, "What core?"
"I believe you all refer it to the Light", Marvin clarified. The Queen dropped her fork again.
"Are you telling me you know of the Light?" she couldn't believe her ears.
"Yes", Marvin gave an uneasy glare toward the woman, "why?"
"That's impossible", she stood up from her seat, "no Martian knows of the Light."
"What exactly are you talking about you're Majesty?" Marvin was growing more confused by the minuet. The Queen gave the young Martian a long stare as she walked over toward him. She pulled out a seat next to him and began.
"A long time ago, your Emperor passed a law that no Martian would know of the Light."
"Why would he do a thing like that?" Marvin questioned the woman with a wide eyed glare.
"He thought of us as some kind of a threat", she clarified, "at the time your people feared the Light."
"Because it destroys planets?" Marvin interrupted.
"Exactly", she smiled.
"Well, that's a stupid law to pass," Marvin lowered his head, "it could only destroy us if we were a threat."
"I know that," she carried on, "but at the time, my father was Emperor of Venus; the light was destroying planets without any proof of a threat what so ever." Marvin's eyes widened toward this.
"Wait a minuet", the Martian rose up from his seat, "are you telling me that I may be the only Martian who knows about this?"
"Yes", she stood back up. The news overwhelmed the small Martian. He glared up toward the Queen with a concern in his eyes. There was so much he hadn't known about this planet.
"I'm sorry you're majesty", Marvin exited out of the dining room. The queen glared upon the short man confused of the situation herself.
Marvin slumped back to his chambers with discomfort on his mind. Was this what his queen wanted him to find out, and why was Martin uneasy about the trip in the first place? There were so many questions, but so little answers. Exhausted the small Martian flopped back onto his pillowed bed, and fell fast asleep.
