~Xadalyn~
"I'm impressed with your orders, Xadalyn. It's exactly what I would have said. Your friends were right when they said you are a great leader." He says. Where do I know him from, he’s so familiar yet he’s a stranger. The boy is standing silently and I can’t help but glance at him.
“I try and do what’s best for my people.” I say simply. Even though I am healed I still feel extremely light headed, but I am surprised at myself for how weak I still feel. I take a step towards them but my legs give out. Before I hit the ground, though I am caught and lifted off the ground by a set of strong arms.
He puts me back on the bed and my eyes are already starting to close as my head touches the pillow. I feel a strong hand gently pushing my hair out of my face. The comforting hand starts to pull away though and I quickly grab it. “Don’t leave me please.” I say in a whisper, I know its childish but there is a comforting presence about this man and I need that to feel safe as I drift off to sleep.

~*~Sarah~*~
My mother and I and including Justin were stopped by Kyria. We were standing in front of the bed chamber. I am watching my father and brother be with Xada. she does have Xan's eyes and my father's hair. I stood here quiet watching what going on in front of me.
Xada have tripped and my father catch her. He put her to bed, and she held on to his hand. I can't take this no more. He is my father. I'm the one he only love and ever know. Now he push me to the side like I never were born. Ever since we left earth my father hasnt said 2 word to me.
I cant control this no-more. I have get out of here." I'm sorry mom. But I can't stay here, I'm sorry....."
I ran off. I ran down the steps fast as I can trying to control the tears running down my face. I dont'' want cry. to me showing my tears mean your weak. And right now that what I may be.
I know I may be acting Selfish and that Xada has never knew her father and brother. And that I should understand. But whats to understand? My hold entire world is turn up side down. And I can't do anything about it.
I wripe my tears away and open the castle front door. I step out. I hear my mother calling me, but I cant go back. Not right now, I cant bare this feeling right now. I need time to think, I need a lot of time.
I run across the feild of this scary place and I'm not sure where I am, but I dont care either. I just need time to think. I sit here on the rock and hugged my knees to my chest crying my eyes out.

Xadalyn's collapse isn't completely unexpected although I am disappointed. I had hoped to be able to talk to her a little. I never even got a chance to tell her who I was but I think there's something inside her that knows already. She'll have a chance to meet her sister tomorrow, I'm sure.
I truly did mean what I'd said to her. I was very impressed at my daughter's restraint regarding Khivar. I can only think of one other person I hate as much as Khivar, but I still don't like killing. Xada's reasons were quite sound.
I lay her down, gently moving the hair from her face as she grabs my wrist and begs me not to leave.
"I won't, Xadalyn," I promise, taking her hand. "Not until you're ready." I know already this is a short term thing. I can see that Xada is a very strong young woman. She won't be down for long.
"I'm sorry mom, but I cant stay here. I'm sorry....."
The words are in English and the voice as familiar as my own. I look up to see my other daughter turn and run from the room. I can't go after her. I can't. Not after just promising to stay. Right now, Xada needs me more.
But I can't have Sarah out where Khivar's people are still not fully accounted for. Khivar himself is still on the loose. I look up at Liz and Justin, trying to figure out the best course before turning to Kyria. "Can you go after her? Make sure she's safe?"
It probably wouldn't be a good idea to drag her back before she's ready, but I need to know someone's looking after her. It would probably help if it was someone who knew English, so they could help her when she's ready to talk again...

“Send a squad to track them down and give them opportunity to surrender, show force only if necessary.”
She had given her command swiftly, sounding very like my father.
“Show force only if necessary? What about Khivar?” the Antarian, who had yet to tell us his name, asked.
“If you don’t want to admit it or not Khivar’s followers are still Antarians, my people, and if there is a way for them to surrender then they should be given the chance as for Khivar, the same applies to him. If he is killed it would cause even more problems but call the leaders of the four planets for a Summit meeting tomorrow.” The Antarian bowed and left and soon, we were alone again.
My sister sounded like a far-thinker. Would I have said something like that? No, I doubted it. I was far more stupid and impulsive.
When she turned back to us, she uttered a simple “Thank you.”
"You're welcome. I'm just glad I could help. It's wonderful to finally meet you," Dad said, just like he would have said after helping Sarah or me with homework - calmly.
I couldn't bring myself to speak to her. I couldn't tear my eyes away from her, either.
“I try and do what’s best for my people.” And the her knees somehow gave way and she nearly hit the ground. But my - our - father scooped her into his arms and placed her back on her bed. “Don’t leave me please,” she whispered, like a little girl to her daddy. She knew, she sensed, that we were on her side, and more than that perhaps - what Queen would let herself sleep in the presence of strangers?
"I won't, Xadalyn. Not until you're ready," Dad promised her. And even if she had told him to leave, he probably wouldn't have.
"I'm sorry, mom, but I can't stay here. I'm sorry . . ." I looked out just in time to see Sarah sprinting away, quite upset. I wanted to go for her - she was my sister, too, after all.
My father told Kyria to go after her. Could we trust the woman? Well . . . Xadalyn did, didn't she?
The whole time, my father held onto Xadalyn's hand, keeping to his promise. I continued to watch her, sleeping with a look of ease resting on her face. I touched her other hand, and felt that spark again. I wanted to be her friend, to be her brother, after so long.

~Xadalyn~
I slept the best I’ve ever slept in my little nap. I felt the safest I’ve felt in a long time, it was almost like I was a child again. Its amazing how well you sleep when your cuddled up next to your mother, it’s the safest feeling I the world and in that moment nothing can harm you.
The first few years of my life we were always on the run, my mother and I. And the only place I felt safe for a long time was in her arms. I begin to wake and my internal clock says I’ve only been asleep for about twenty minutes but it was enough.
I awake to find the two visitors still in my room. They never left and I know who they are now. “She never told me you were alive so I assumed you were dead.” I look at the boy that I now know could only be my brother, not just my brother, my twin. “I didn’t know about you either.” I say but I can’t help but smile at both of them.
“You came, I reached out to you and you came. Khivar said….it doesn’t matter, he’s a liar…but you came.” Is all I can say.

Perhaps knowing about Xadalyn only made me feel more inferior. Both of my parents had powers, Sarah too, and now Xadalyn. A queen, a leader. What was I next to all of them? Who was I?
But I had no time to feel insecure, like an adolescent outcast. What did it matter? I was exactly the person I was born to be, I knew it somehow. There was something bigger in store for me, and I would wait for that time to come. So what if I was completely human?
After what seemed like twenty minutes or half-an-hour (I couldn't be certain), Xadalyn came to. “She never told me you were alive so I assumed you were dead.”
She never told her. Our mother?
She turned to me. “I didn’t know about you either,” she said, smiling now. To think she had brought a knife to my father's neck when she first saw us. “You came, I reached out to you and you came. Khivar said . . . it doesn’t matter, he’s a liar . . . but you came.”
I wanted to ask her what the scumbag did to her, but this was a reunion. For the first time, I spoke to her, "Of course we came. You needed us; you're his daughter, and my . . ." I trailed off for a second. I looked at my father briefly. The word tasted funny, saying it to Xadalyn on the planet Antar. "You are my sister after all." I smiled at her, and this time it came naturally. Nothing forced, nothing faked.
We would have been heartless not to answer to her cries. We couldn't have left her alone at that hands of that merciless bastard. And I was glad that we had decided to come.

Satisfied that someone was protecting Sarah, I feel my shoulders slump. I was a bit tired himself. This day had seen a lot of changes and that was all after a 10 hour shift at the office...
Without letting go of Xada's hand, I turn and guesture towards an ornate chair. It flew silently to the side of the bed and I sit in it still holding my daughter's hand. I would like to crawl into that big bed next to her, but that might be taking too many liberities with a daughter I never knew, with a Queen. Her supporters would probably not approve. I watch as Xan silently takes his sister's other hand.
As she wakes up, I'm pleased that she looks quite a bit stronger.
“You came, I reached out to you and you came. Khivar said . . . it doesn’t matter, he’s a liar . . . but you came," she says.
"Of course we came," I told her. "I tried everything to get here after you were born, but I didn't have a wormhole. She never told me about you. I wish I had known," I say, smoothing the hair from her face again.
It's clear she already knows I'm her father. I'm glad I don't have to worry about her believing that. Maybe it was easier to not know. I would have spent sixteen years worrying about her, with no way to get here to help...

Silence. One of the things in the world I liked. Not this world though. Whatever place it was. I watched as Sarah sat down on a rock and turned my gaze away. Then a girl I didn't know started leaving and then Mrs.Evans finally spoke.
"Come on, Sarah. Justin," she said and left to the direction Mr.Evans and Xan had gone to. I freezed. There? Mr.Evans had said it was dangerous. Being unsure, I mumbled 'It's dangerous' under my breath and followed her.
She somehow got some wall open, I was really confused right now. What was going on in this place?
"Let's go. Sarah, be ready to protect Justin."
Protect me? How could Sarah protect me? I was younger, yes. But she was a girl. Boys usually protect girls. This whole place didn't make any sense. The girl who had left before us was there.
"Wait.... we wait here..." she says.
Yeah sure. I was used to waiting all the time. I sighed silently. I wanted to go home. I really did. Dad was going to be furious..though he wouldn't believe me at all if I'd tell I had been on some other place through the movie thing, or whatever it was. Or maybe it was a movie and they're just acting like I'm part of it.
Then I heard Sarah say "I'm sorry mom. But I can't stay here, I'm sorry....." and then she ran off. I stared after her. I guess she saw something emotional. I wasn't paying attention to what was happening in the room. I peeked in.
Then I saw her. The girl I followed. She really did come here. Hm. When I looked at her more closely, she looked a little familiar in the other way. But I just couldn't get it into my mind why.
"It's her.." I said in a low voice. "That's the girl I followed.."

Before I can awnser them there is a sudden white light and the Oracle is now standing in the room. She about gave me a heart attack!
"Xada go get cleaned up I need to talk to your father." she says simply and I am about to object, I just found them after all but she raises her hand. "Now young lady." she says sternly and I get up and take one last look at my father and brother before leaving to change clothes and get my hair done my giggling women.
~Oracle~
I look over at the two men standing in front of me. "Let me introduce myself to you, your highness, I am the Oracle, I served you, your father and your grandfather and now your daughter. I need to tell you something that your children do not need to hear just yet."I say motioning towards Xan, hoping he will ask him to step outside.

All of a sudden, there was a burst of white light and a woman appeared before us. She told Xadalyn to get cleaned up and that she needed to speak with Dad. She spoke to my sister as if she was her mother or something. But no, she couldn't be. Our mother was supposed to be dead. So who was she, then?
"Let me introduce myself to you, your highness, I am the Oracle, I served you, your father and your grandfather and now your daughter. I need to tell you something that your children do not need to hear just yet." She spoke briskly, gesturing toward me.
She wanted me to leave them alone. Why, though? What secret had she to tell him, that neither Xadalyn nor I should hear? Wasn't this a time to reveal all secrets and not hide more?
I looked at my father, eyebrow raised. He was going to tell me to leave, but I wasn't budging until he told me to. I wasn't taking orders from that woman. I eyed her suspiciously. What did she have to hide?
But I knew that I had to go anyhow. And I had to straighten something else out, too. It was just as well.
