Chapter 10
Neal sat in his den trying to figure out what he was doing with his life at that time. He kept having weird dreams and Kris hadn't called him in two days and he was starting to get worried.
Neal started walking out of his den when all of a sudden he was struck by a vision.
Neal looked around him and he was in what looked like a tower. There was a huge dome of glass over top of him and when he looked up there was a million stars that seemed to be talking to him.
"Gorgeous aren't they?" said a figure off to his side sitting in a chair.
Neal spun around looking at the figure sitting there. He was solidly built with long brown hair and big brown eyes. He looked like Neal himself except for the fact that he was wearing a white uniform with green lining.
"Who are you?" Neal asked confused. "And where are we?"
"Who I am is something easy to explain, I am you in another life time. We are in your subconscious the part of your psyche that you keep locked away because you are afraid to know what is in there." said the doppleganger.
"I'm not afraid of anything" Neal said vehemently.
"Well if your not afraid go to star map on the wall opposite of you and touch it" said the image. Neal didn't know what this would do but he was not afraid of anything. He walked to a wall where a huge star map covered the entire thing. He took his hand to it and when he touched it a rush of memories came at him. His love, his prince, his life…
"Oh my god" said Neal as he spun around to look at himself.
"Welcome home Nephrite" said the image.
"But how am I alive?" Neal asked. "The Senshi killed me again"
"Yes but you didn't know that destiny is a hard person. She lets you see the mistakes you made even in this life and gives you another choice. We were always wondering if destiny was kind, at times she is and others not so much" said the image. "When we were brain washed by Beryl in the last life and in this one we were given a second chance to make amends. The senshi are about to face a threat that hasn't been awaken since the first time of Metallia. And without you they will fail. You have been given another chance don't mess up Nephrite. Because winning her love back is your toughest challenge" said the image as he disappeared.
Neal woke up on the floor of his den. He looked around and then he sat there while crystal tears ran down his cheeks. He looked at his hand and there was a tattoo he had never gotten. It was a star. As Neal stood up Nephrite melted into Neal and they became one.
Neal's phone rang. He walked over and picked it up
"Hello?" he said.
"So I'm guessing you know Nephrite" said Kris on the other side.
"How you doing Kunzite? Been awhile" said Neal into the phone.
