The sunlight that shines through the window a few feet in front of me crosses my face and I have to believe that I am finally awake, that what felt like an endless eternity of doing what He wants to do and seeing what He wants me to see was finally over. I should get up now maybe, try to move my limbs which are most likely stiff by now or try to find Marina or Six or anyone really. Yet, I don't because I know it'd be pointless.
For the longest while now Setrakus Ra has been interrupting my sleep, talking about things I at first didn't understand. And then He showed me what He wanted from me, what He believed I would be capable. Starting with the annihilation of my race. He showed me that after a while it was supposed to be me who would rule over not just one planet, but three. He had that all planned out, but he still didn't tell me everything I demanded to know. The vision I had just woken up from left the most imprint on my mind.
"Why won't you leave me alone?" I whimper, looking up at Setrakus Ra who even on his knee towers above me. He has my hand in his, no matter how much I want to I can't pull it away. He is in control of my mind.
"You know why." He says almost tenderly. "You are living a false life running around helping the Loric children, that isn't what you were meant to do."
"I am Loric child." I say proudly. "I am meant to help restore my planet."
Setrakus Ra laughs and looks down at me like he was watching a puppy chase its own tail. "You may be born a Loric, but the blood that flows inside you is of much more worth and deserving of pride. Forget about Lorien, it's dead and there is nothing they can do to bring it back."
"You're wrong!" I snap.
"There was a time when the Loric children earned a little consideration from me, but when I had put them to a real test many weeks ago they failed. They have no strength against me, their time is nearly up."
"You took away their powers. How was that fair?"
"If they are useless without their powers then what threat are they with them? It just goes to show that Lorien is no longer worthy enough to exist in this universe."
"We aren't useless." I remind him. "I was able to stop you."
Setrakus Ra shakes his head. "Because you are far more powerful than any of those children could ever be. Your destiny isn't a meek attempt to bring back what is unmistakably gone. Your mission is to be at my side as we begin a new world of prosperity and abundance. Once I am no longer able to lead this new world I will pass onto you the responsibility, you will be its new leader and it is my job to make sure you fulfill your true destiny and become even greater than all of those who came before you."
"You're insane, there is no way I would turn my back on my friends."
"You're friends are losing, one by one they will be picked off until there is nothing left of Lorien's 'Last hope." He doesn't sneer when he say this, and instead sounds matter-of-fact.
I ignore his words. This seems like nothing more than a test. "They are getting stronger every day and you don't even know where we are. No one is dying anymore."
It was then that he showed me the damage he had inflicted onto Nine's penthouse. It once looked so untouchable and so beautiful. Now it stood in near ruins. Glass shined on the ground below that had fallen from the massive windows above that were all but knocked out from the window panes. After that He told me that He had found me and sent His officers to retrieve me and that it was time for His heir to return home.
Apparently I wasn't the only one here either. Somehow Five had gotten mixed in with all of this. He was in the first great vision, leading Six and Sam to their final doom. When I get to him we'll break out of here I'm sure, we'd probably have a better chance together than a part. The new plan of breaking out soothes me a bit, it's great to have a plan. Once Five and I are together we can work out all the details, I just hope he isn't hurt. There's no telling what the Mogs could have done to him in the last few days or however long I have been out. As, for now-I wait.
