Chapter 4
Lillian woke up from the familiar dream. It had come again she thought as she opened the door to her room. She made her way down the hall to the stairs. She stood at the landing just looking out at the moon through the huge glass windows of their penthouse. Her sister had said it was in perfect location for all their needs. Just a little bit away from their new business headquarters. It also had a spectacular view of the moon.
Lillian made her way down the stairs and went into the kitchen. She flickered on a light and got herself a glass of water. She didn't know how long she had been having the dream. It always seemed to come when she least expected it. In everyway the dream frightened her more than she could say. She only remembered glimpses of it but they were enough. In the dream she was in a throne room looking around frantically for something. She didn't know what. When she found it she was surrounded by her four best and most loyal friends. And just as the doors burst open to the throne room she said some ancient word in a language she recognized but couldn't remember from where and then all four of them were gone.
Each time she woke up a little less frightened and little more understanding. She walked out of the kitchen over to the windows which looked down over Tokyo. New York was the city that never slept but Tokyo could give them a run for their money. Just as Lillian was contemplating life a figure appeared in front of her.
"Hello Your Highness" the glowing figure said to Lillian. She stepped back as the figured gracefully landed in front of her. It was a young woman dressed in white slacks with a white jacket on. On her side was a glowing sword and on the jacket front was a sun.
"Do I know you?" Lillian asked the stranger.
The woman chuckled as if it was a joke.
"Well it seems that I have job to finish for you my Princess" said the figure to her. Lillian stared at her baffled know one in her 22 years of life had called her princess except for her elderly grandmother.
"What do you want?" she asked the figure.
"Oh no your highness it is not what I want but what I can do for you" said the woman smiling. "Although you do not remember me I am from your past a figment of your memory come out to aid you in this time. I was set on a time release by you so that when it was time I could give you the one thing you will need more than anything else" said the figure.
"And what is that?" said Lillian still puzzled.
"Why your memory of course" said the figure. At that instant it took its glowing sword out of its sheath. "With all the power vested in me by my mother star Andromeda I give you back your memories" as the figure said this the sword game down and went straight through Lillian. Lillian flinched but felt no pain. And then all of sudden she was gone. Lillian no longer stood where she had once been in her place now stood Princess Lilly, Priestess of the Sun.
"Oh my god...Amelia" said Lillian to the figure.
"Yes Princess it is me" said the figure bowing.
"But how is this possible...your dead...I'm dead" said Lillian.
"No Princess...you are not dead...before the battle could kill you, you took yourself and your four guardians into the secret chamber once inside there you retrieved the golden globe which you used to send yourself to earth one thousand years later" said Amelia.
"But Amelia...my people..."said Lillian in anguish.
Amelia sighed Lilly would never change...she would always be the leader she was meant to be.
"I understand your distress your highness but as you know many died and the ones who didn't went to the secret chambers beneath the sun. There they still are in a thousand year sleep. As our the rest of the planets. Because Beryl defeated the moon each planet went underground and into hibernation the few who chose to go to earth were immortal" said Amelia calmly.
"What happened to the moon Amelia?" Lillian asked.
"There was a huge battle and Beryl had managed to brain wash all of Endymons generals. They fought for the wrong side. In the end Beryl killed Endymon. The Princess was so much in grief that she struck herself down to be with her loved one. And in the end each of the inners and generals killed each other. But the Queen in her grief sent their souls to earth a thousand years in the future and they are here today fighting" said Amelia.
Through the story Lillian had begun to cry. To cry for her planet, her people, the other planets and for her cousin.
"So they are alive then?" said Lillian in a whispery voice.
"They are Princess. But they are not as they were. They have changed as time changes. And they are different people." said Amelia sadly. "You have been awakened because it is time. The last battle will rage soon and they will need you and the guardians help"
"Well we will do our best" said Lillian. "And we will make them stronger in the process."
