I was using had a bad internet connection. I don't know when I will be able to update again so I'm giving you what I can.
5. Prophecy
The others were surprised when Kyria let out her wings. Then they saw the markings begining to form
and stared. Kyria saw the others staring so she pulled her wings in. Then she told them what her Grandmother
had said about the markings. They were shocked, especially Van.
"You have the markings too!"
This surprised Kyria. She thought that she and Hitomi were the only royal Draconians.
"You have them?"
Van nodded. He took off his shirt, handed it to Hitomi, and let his wings out. Kyria was amazed.
His markings were fully formed. Then he pulled his wings back in and put his shirt back on.
"Were you born with them or did you earn them?"
"The markings appeared right after I married Hitomi. I don't know why."
"I can answer that," said a voice.
They all looked toward the voice and gasped. A form was appearing. When the form was complete they
saw that it was Mary. She looked exactly the same.
"I can answer your question," she repeated. "The reason your markings appeared when you married Hitomi
is because she is a royal. You didn't have your markings before because your mother was disowned by the Draconians
when she followed a prophecy and married a human. The very people who thought that Draconians were demons.
Her family disowned her so her markings vanished. At the time it was up to the other royal Draconians to decide
who was to have the royal markings. Now though since there are so few Draconians left the rule changed.
The person had to prove they were worthy of the markings. Kyria will prove if she's worthy or not soon enough.
But for now she needs to study Gaea's history and practice her magic."
"Why don't you have your markings," Kyria asked.
"I never proved myself worthy before I died. I need to go. Goodbye everyone." With that she vanished.
There was along silence after she left. Everyone was going over what they had heard.
"I should get going,"said Kyria suddenly."I don't want to leave jake alone for too long."
With that said she left. Hitomi had noticed something strange in Kyria's eyes, like she had just remembered or thought of
something. Hitomi decided to follow her.
"I'm going to make sure she's alright.That was alot of information for a person to take in all at once,"
she told Van before leaving too.
Hitomi found Kyria sitting on her bed with a book in her lap and her cat asleep next to her. The dor was
slightly ajar so she knocked softly. Kyria jumped disturbing Jake, but she smiled when she saw Hitomi.
Kyria motioned for her to come in.
"I was just about to go through a book that my Grandmother gave me just before she died. I think it's
a photo album of some kind,"she told her.
Kyria opened the book to the first page and gasped. It was a picture of her as a baby. She kept turning
the pages. Each picture was of her from below age 1 to a year ago.The last picture was her with her wings
outstretched. Next to the picture was a note:
'My little Angel,
If you are reading this then that means that I am no longer with you and that you are on Gaea.
It also means that a terrible burden is about to be placed on your shoulders.You will hopefully
have friends who are able to help you.I can't say anything about this burden for you must find out
for yourself. I can give you a hint though. It involves your birthmark. That's all I can say so I
will end this. I'll always be with you my little angel.
Love,
Grandma'
"My birthmark," Kyria whispered.
She pulled her up sleeve to look at it. It was 2 very small wing like shapes. Hitomi, who could see it,
was shocked. She had seen that same symbol in a book. She decided to go look at the book again.
"I have to go check something. I'll be back later to help you get ready for the ball."
"The Ball," Kyria inquired as she lowered her sleeve.
"Yes. I forgot you didn't know. There's a ball tonight to celebrate the 4yr. anniversary of the end of
the Destiny War."
Having said this, she left kyria to her thoughts. Hitomi went to the library, made sure it was empty,
then closed the door behind her. She went straight to a bookshelf and took down a book. She opened it to a marked
page and read:
'There will come a time of pain and suffering in which a girl will appear wth extroardinary powers.
She will either be the bringer of death or salvation. You will know the girl by 2 small wings symbolized
on her shoulder. This girl will be born on the Mystic moon. She will come to Gaea seeking refuge.
She will use her powers to either save or destroy Gaea.'
"That poor girl,"Hitomi said quietly.
Hitomi ran towards Van's study, burst into the room and quickly closed the door behind her. Van, sensing
and seeing that something was wrong, went up to her and enfolded her in his arms. Then he asked what was wrong.
In responce she handed him the book and pointed to the passage. Van read it and looked up puzzled.
"Kyria has the wings on her shoulder. I saw them."
She told Van everything that had happened earlier. When she was done, Van looked grim.
"Should we tell her," Van asked.
"No. It would just upset her. I want to go see her again later anyway. I want to ask her about me being
a Draconian and i want to help her get ready for the ball."
At the mention of the ball, Van paled visibly. Hitomi laughed.
"Did you forget about the ball," she teased.
"No," Van said defiantly. "I just hate wearing formal clothes!"
Hitomi laghed even harder. The indignant look on Van's face was priceless. Suddenly there was a knock on
the door. Hitomi stopped laghing but she was still laughing through the mind link. Van scowled at her, but said,
Enter. A maid entered, bowed, and said, "The lady Kyria requests the prescence pf both of you in her room."
"Thank you," Van said.
The maid bowed and left. Van and Hitomi went to Kyria's room. Hitomi knocked and they entered.
They found Kyria Petting Jake. She had something in her hand that looked like an energist. When they entered Kyria
looked up and smiled.
"Good you came. It's time for me to solve the problem of you not knowing who you really are. I'm gong to
use this energist to help you reopen those memories." She stood up. "I asked you here," she said to Van, "for 2
reasons. The first is moral support. The second is, you have a right to know this too. Now you two have to hold
hands and close your eyes. Don't open them until I tell you to or the connection will be broken."
After Hitomi and Van were holding hands and had their eyes closed, Kyria took the energist in both hands.
She put it against Hitomi's forehead and closed her eyes concentrating. The energist began to glow until it
enveloped the three of them. There was a flash, then the light vanished leaving the three exactly how they started.
