Terran watched as Elysion slept, for once, peacefully snug in her bed. He sighed and stood, walking as silently as he could out the door into the hallway going downstairs seemingly towards the basement, but walking by it. He headed towards an unmarked door with the sun, earth and moon symbols on it, opening it with his paws.
"Are you here?" He looks around searching for a person.
A boy, no older than seventeen, appears wearing white priest robes with golden eyes and white hair. He looks down at the wolf and smiles, "Terran, it has been a while." He greeted as the Wolf transforms into a tall man with a light brown complexion and spring green eyes with silver and white hair.
"Yes, it has. It is good to see you again, Helios."
Later that day
Elysion sat in the small park, staring at the pond, her mind empty her eyes glazed over as if she was blind. She wore short-sleeved hood shirt with white shorts. This was how Usa found her.
"Elysion?" The pink haired teen walks in and sat down beside her. "Are…are you ok?"
Elysion did not respond to the girl's probing, only stared into the water with an eerie calmness.
Serenity walked towards where she could feel Elysion's energy and stopped at the door, watching her intently. 'How could I have not seen it before? How could anyone not see it?' "Elysion… may I have a word with you?"
Again, she did not respond but Usa did, "What is it Mama?" She looks up at her mother with worried crimson eyes. "What's going on...?"
She did not say anything to her daughter, only stared at the black girl as she turned to face her. "My queen? What is it that you want of me?" She asked in a monotone voice.
"Follow me…"
She stood and followed the Queen to a large room with a few chairs inside and…
"What is going on here?" She asked, "Why are they here?"
The door closed behind her. She whirled around to see Makoto standing there, while the others were spread out in the room. She looked back at the queen who stood by Endymion with a blank look on her face and a glazed one over his.
"What do you want." She looked around nervously, "What's going on?"
Endymion looks at her, "Why didn't she tell me?" He asked.
She looked down. "I don't know." She licked her lips, "Mama…just didn't want to hurt you…or your family. She just…wanted you to be happy."
Ami looks at her, "If the DNA test proves it, then it means that you're a direct line from the Earth Kingdom."
"What does that mean?" She asked.
"It means" Haruka spoke up, "that you have the right to the throne of the Earth."
Elysion didn't say anything but looked down at the ground.
Endymion was still shocked that she was his daughter and that Kritra had never told him about her. 'Then again,' he mused dryly as he stared at the girl, 'how could I have not known? All the signs were there, the roses, the elemental attacks…and her eyes. They are just like my own."
'I knew it!' Makoto thought, 'I knew I had recognized those eyes of hers before…they are just like, Mamoru's.'
"So…it means that you would be my sister…wouldn't it?" Usa asked softly as all of this started to make sense. "Why? Why leave us in the dark about it?" A sudden burst of rage appeared, "Were you that cowardly to say anything? You just follow orders that are handed out to you like some drone?"
Elysion turned to face the hotheaded pink haired princess. She was already upset but now, she was pissed off.
"Usa!" Serenity scolded her, "What has gotten into you?"
"And Terran! He's just some dog that got the power to speak, and you listen to him like he was your master or something!" Usa was on a roll now, "What's the matter, Elysion? Can't say anything back?"
That was it the straw that broke the camel's back.
Elysion tackled Usa and began to punch the fair princess's pretty little face with tears of rage falling from her eyes. "Shut up! Don't you ever shut the fuck up you stupid candy haired yam-headed bitch!?!" She yelled forgetting everyone else that was in there. "You are such a spoiled little brat! No wonder you have only two friends!" She felt hands grab at her, pulling her off of the girl as she glared at her, "Everyone else is too scared to be your friend or even disagree with you cause you have the power to hurt them! Your so called friends are using you and you know it you twit!"
Usa stared at her, "That's not true! Kai and Sishiya would never do that! You're lying!"
Before Elysion could answer that there was a knock on the door. Everyone froze as Makoto opened the door to reveal Terran in his wolf form, walking in the room and stopped. "Elysion, I'm in need of your service. Would you kindly follow me?"
"She can't go until we get a sample of her blood." Ami was standing next to her a syringe and an alcohol pad.
He shook his shaggy head, "As her legal guardian, I must decline that."
"But I am her guardian and if I'm her father, I could and will demand this to be done." Endymion told him.
"No." Terran said, "I can veto that" nods, "Now come. There is someone I want you to meet." Turns and leaves with Elysion walking behind him.
Usa stared angrily at the door as it closed before saying, "I hate her."
The next few days were tensed, as it seems everyone was creeping around each other, avoiding the problem. It had gotten so that even the servants crept around them as they could feel the tension building up.
Elysion had stopped hanging out with them and stopped eating with them. In fact, Terran seemed to be the only one that kept contact with them, while she isolated herself, rarely being seen by any of them.
"I can't take this any more!!!" Minako shouts in the middle of dinner. "This is ridiculous!!! Fighting with a fifteen year old!!"
They all looked up at her as she paced in the hall. "What do you propose we do?"
Terran sat up, "Well…her birthday is coming up…."
Endymion raised a brow, "You want us to throw her a party right?"
"Why?" Haruka asked, "She hates us anyway."
He shook his shaggy head, "No she doesn't. She's young. Her temper didn't last long. Anyway, she thinks you hate her…."
"Wait…" Minako looks at him, "Isn't her birthday right after mine? Why don't we just pull them together? It would be easier and less expensive!" She grins.
"That's a wonderful idea Mina." Ami agreed, "And none would be the wiser when I get some of her DNA samples as well."
Terran sighed, "Ok, you throw the party in exchange for the DNA samples. Deal?"
Serenity nods mutely, though in her mind, she was starting to resent Elysion. In her mind Elysion represented her husband's failure to be loyal, even if he had amnesia, and her failure to keep him satisfied and tied to her.
"Usako?" Endymion looks over at her, "You will help too, won't you?"
She stared into his stormy blue eyes that were worried and perhaps a little bit afraid. Those were the same eyes that she couldn't say no to, the same eyes Elysion had.
She smiled, though forced, and kept her emotions under control, "Of course Mamo-chan."
