Chapter 12
Venna was eventually taken back to her cell, as the Queen left the throne room so excited about her good news. Marvin on the other hand was miserable. He sat down on the stairs of the throne room as he buried his face in his hands.
"For what it's worth", Martin approached his brother cautiously of another attack at his throat, "I'm sorry Marv." Marvin didn't answer. He spun himself away from his brother, as he starred out the far window of the palace.
"Did I miss something?" Martin was still slightly confused over the matter at hand. Marvin could take no more of his brother's ramblings. He ignored the Lieutenant, as he slumped out of the room. Martin shook his head in anguish, he had no clue what was going on.
"I want to speak to the Queen of Venus", Marvin demanded out of one of the guards.
"Yes sir", he didn't hesitate to open the blockade to the cell chambers. Marvin glared around the open space, as he heard thousands of voices screaming at him in fury, but something in the far corner caught his eyes. Sitting upon her bed was an old woman with bleached red and grey hair. Her face was pale, and eyes were dilated. The woman gave a small smirk toward Marvin as he was led into a restricted cell.
"Leave us", he demanded as the guard sprang into obedient action once more. When the man was gone, Marvin approached Venna.
"Venna, I?" he began, but she cut him off.
"A threat will be among the colonies of violet.
A worthy adversary will make his place among the people.
When the sun sets on the sixth day,
The Light will shine through the clouds of it's unworthy planet of threat.
The only hope for its kind is itself.
Within the Light, the visitor must become before the threat is violet.
If he is worthy, he will live.
If his sacrifice is in vain, all is lost."
Marvin's eyes grew large as he ducked her fist swinging in mid air. "You lied to me!" she bellowed in anger, "everything I told you was a secret, and this is how you repay me?"
"Venna I?" he tried to speak once more as she chucked her eating utensils at his face, "Venna I swear I had nothing to do with this."
"Really?" she stood up as Marvin viewed a different queen than he had met before. Her hair wasn't the gleaming magenta frock that was held in the royal crown she wore before. Her clothes smelled of raw cluckin eggs, and her sapphire eyes were now a dull black. Marvin couldn't believe his eyes of what they did to her.
"I trusted you", she began to cry again, "I told you stuff. I even said that I believed in you." Marvin couldn't choke out another word. Venna gave another hard stare toward him as she hit the floor in an immense fit of tears. Marvin took off his helmet in respect to the royal official that she was, and knelt down to her.
"I promise", he began, "to get you out of here Venna." He didn't know how he was going to accomplish such a task, nor did he care. He was willing to sacrifice his stature to the Mars Empire just to get her off this planet. Venna lifted her head as she was set at ease by the warm smile planted on Marvin's face. Yet, the young commander was startled, but not surprised when Venna embraced him.
"I'll figure something out", Marvin returned the hug as he heard footsteps approaching the cell. Marvin pushed the queen off of him as he jumped for his helmet.
"I heard screaming. Is everything okay in here?" the Martian guard questioned his high commander.
"Absolutely", he gave a reassuring glare toward Venna as the guard escorted him from the chamber.
Walking back to the entrance of the prison, Marvin was attracted yet again by the woman in the restricted cell.
"Who's that?" he questioned his guide.
"Martha Middleton", he clarified, "she's a restricted inmate. Only the high commander and queen can talk to her."
"Well, I am high commander", Marvin thought to himself, "She seems to know who I am."
"I would like to speak to Miss Middleton alone", Marvin commanded as the guard led him to her cell.
"About time", the woman greeted the high commander with a smile, "I was beginning to think you weren't coming."
"How do you know me?" he asked sitting down in a chair next to her. The woman glared out toward the window as her smile disappeared. She closed her eyes and took in a large breath of air. Marvin, who was confused, just starred at her.
"Power to our person's might,
Spirits please bring wrong to right.
Hope can be both far and near,
To the helpless ones who shed the tears
When protection comes we are the blessed
For the power comes to who possessed
Spirits serve for every life,
For protection from our holy light."
Marvin rose up in amazement and bewilderment to what the woman sang. He couldn't believe his ears.
"How do you know me?" he demanded again as she beamed toward him.
"A long time ago your mother gave you up to save the rest of us", she explained, "The Light is going to strike Mars in four days. It is up to you to protect what has taken us an eternity to build. If you don't all is lost."
"How do you know me?" Marvin repeated, this time being on the other side of the room.
"I knew your mother", she smiled. Marvin shook his head in disbelief. So much news was being revealed to him in so little time. He felt like collapsing on the stone floor beneath him.
"How did you know her", Marvin hit his knees, "Is she still alive."
"She is, now", Martha's raspy voice was changing to Marvin's ears, "she died a long time ago when she gave up her two sons Marvin and Martin."
"That still doesn't explain how you know her", Marvin demanded out of the old woman, "How do you know my mother??"
There was a dead silence in the cell. Martha positioned herself back in front of her window as she stared out into the public. Marvin threw his hands in the air as he opened the cell door. Yet before he left the cell, Martha stood up and faced the commander.
"Boy, I am your mother!"
