"…And then, today, a blue tower was activated on Lyoko. When you collapsed at the same time Aelita deactivated the tower, Jeremie had a hunch about you." Odd finished up his story.
Anya sat there, digesting what he had just said. Odd understood, as it was a lot to comprehend. Finally, she looked up at him. "So you want to know about the connection between the blue towers and me?" When Odd nodded, she sighed. "Very well. But it's a long story."
Odd hesitated a moment, then called Jeremie. "Jeremie, Anya's going to tell me a story about the blue towers, but she says it's long. So, I'll put you on speakerphone so you can hear it too." He set the phone on speakerphone, and set it on the end table next to Anya's bed. "You can start now."
Anya sighed, and closed her eyes. When she opened them again, they were pits of shining turquoise. Odd gasped. "Four thousand, nine hundred and six years ago, a girl was born in a different dimension. She was born of a gifted race, called the Demitravs. Demitravs were different from the normal humans that inhabited that dimension. They were born every million years, and lived forever unless they were killed by metal. Most metal is poisonous to Demitravs. Because this girl was a Demitrav, and her parents were the king and queen of that dimension, it was decided that she would rule instead of her older sister. Her older sister was furious.
"One night, she crept into the room where her baby sister was sleeping, and stole her away. She chained her up, for though she was a baby, Demitravs were different. Then, using dark magic she had learned from a witch, she stole as much of her sister's magic as her body would allow. Thankfully, for Demitravs have plenty of magic, her sister's magic did not decrease, but two awful side effects were unleashed. First, the baby grew until she was about the age of twelve. Second, her personality split. On one side was Oromire, who was the spirit that resides in every Demitrav. On another was Far-Star, the half Demitrav, who possessed some powers, but not all. There was Maren, who was the Demitrav power without any soft human emotions; she was pure death. Finally, there was the human girl that the Demitrav would've become if she was human. Her name was Anya."
There was pin drop silence in the white hospital room, and Anya continued. "We do not know which of these was the original Demitrav, or if that Demitrav even exists anymore. The older sister became half of a half Demitrav; she was a quarter Demitrav, which is equal to a demon. Her name was Casiana. The Demitrav, when she awoke, was Far-Star. She did not remember anything that had happened that night, so she sent her to the Demitrav mentor of that time: Kilana, and her apprentice Sinela. Casiana then killed her parents, and took control of the throne. She then used her magic to turn the will of the people in her dimension so they were loyal to her. Kilana and Sinela shielded themselves from her magic, while Far-Star was immune from the magic, as a Demitrav. After Casiana learned of this, she was furious, and the three fled to another dimension. There, Kilana scryed the truth of what had happened that night. She placed this story within the Demitrav's memories, but none of the personalities were aware of it. So, for the next four thousand and nine hundred years, Far-Star was trained, as well as Oromire. Maren was locked away as far as possible, and Anya was used when disguise was necessary. There was a fifth entity within the Demitrav body, but she surfaced rarely, and nothing was known about her. Because of all the personalities within the body, the Demitrav was unstable, and prone to strange fits. She had no stable source of power.
"Then, Kilana and Sinela disappeared. The Demitrav fell into a strange fit, and Maren emerged. She smelled the humans of Earth, and came here to kill them, for she hated all humans. Once she arrived on Earth, Far-Star and Oromire engaged in a battle with her, to lock her away in a far corner of the mind. It was a long and fierce battle, but Maren was defeated and locked away. Oromire and Far-Star were severely exhausted and injured from the battle, so Anya took control of the body. Scared and unsure, for she was young, she followed the most primitive instincts which led her to France, where she sensed a strong power that could nurture her. However, once she reached there, the strange entity took control of her body, to better blend in. And that is where we are today. However, you must know that when I, the Demitrav, wake up, I will not be the same entity that was here before and is talking to you. You may even find yourself dealing with Maren. Good-bye."
Anya closed her eyes, and slumped back into her pillows. Odd sat there a moment, in utter awe, and Jeremie made no sound on the phone. After a few minutes of trying to understand it, Jeremie spoke. "That was an utter lie."
Odd shook his head. "Einstein, her eyes were glowing. She wasn't lying." There was silence on the other end. After waiting a few seconds for a response, Odd pressed on. "Should I wake her up and see who's there?"
"Odd, be careful." Jeremie's voice was strained. "If it's Maren, you're basically dead."
"I know." Odd leaned forward and gently shook her shoulder. "Wake up. Wake up… Anya?"
Her eyes, which were now a violet hue, opened, and she shrieked when she saw Odd. She backed away, pressing against the back of the bed. "Quisnam… Quisnam es vos?"
Odd gasped. "Anya! You know I don't speak Japanese!"
Jeremie's voice came from the phone, and Anya jumped. "Odd, I don't think that's Japanese."
Anya looked around anxiously. "Quisnam narro ut? Qua did ut vox vocis adveho ex?" All of a sudden, she grabbed her head, and bent over, groaning. "Nondum! Nondum!" She collapsed against the bed for a second, and then straightened up. Her eyes were now her original sky blue, and she smiled at Odd. "Hello! Where am I and who might you be?"
"Umm…" Odd was unsure how to answer. "You're in the hospital, because you had a heart attack. I'm Odd, remember, Anya?"
She giggled. "My name is Far-Star."
Odd scootched his chair away. "Far-Star? Anya… she… the extra entity told me about you."
Far-Star eagerly leaned closer. "Really? You met-"
She was cut short as Jeremie, Aelita, Ulrich, and Yumi broke through the door. Far-Star turned, and, upon seeing them, her face turned white and she backed into the headboard.
Jeremie walked up to the foot of her bed. "Who are you? Which of the entities?" Far-Star swallowed nervously, but then was attacked with the same fit Anya had had a moment earlier.
As she thrashed, Odd got up and walked over to Jeremie. "That was Far-Star, and before that, Anya. We have to be careful who comes next." The whole gang backed away from the girl, who's struggles were ceasing. They were afraid of which entity would be coming next.
