sienna opened her eyes and she was standing in the middle of an open field a huge ship loomed in the sky above
a distance away was a number of people standing waiting looking around it was like nothing she had ever seen since earth 2
green fields of grass large trees bursting with leaves real trees and not the artificial ones one might see on Prylea the air was fresh and clean
she titled her head back and inhaled deeply pure natural oxygen, not recycled air a blue sky white clouds and
not one but two yellow suns one large sun that had a smaller one orbiting it in the sky
it was uncanny she could see a moon in the distance on the horizon on the other side of the sky
rolling hills and tall trees dotting endless grasslands in the distance behind the people who were waiting was a large domed city they were outside the protective dome on the city of Huassain because it was the only safe landing place for the beam
beneath their feet, the grass and land was scorched in a huge circle where the beam had been
"oh my god" sienna gasped "I'm on another planet!" she cried
she looked at Daisuke who was wearing the same dazed expression
"We are home!" Rhakem cried
"mommy" Quin cried and broke out of Sadeskas hand and went running towards the crowd
with the backpack bouncing on his back, as he ran at a lope on his all fours towards the crowd
and sienna laughed "oh my goodness look at him go"
"you kids go on," Daisuke said
and Rhakem and Sadeska both took off while sienna and Daisuke walked carrying Ziya
as they reached the crowd of parents finding themselves embraced by happy thankful parents
crying tears of joy and thanking them for rescuing their children even Rhakems
gruff dad and his wife were giving Daisuke loads of affection and thanks
and then they were meeting Ieona and Miyong
"mom" sienna cried seeing her she burst into tears rushing to her for a hug
Ziya between them going mum mum mum in happiness her ears flapping up and down in an adorable greeting
the three embraced
her mother was crying "oh my goodness my daughter, both my daughters" she cried
"yes both of us" sienna sobbed "we are with you"
her mother stroked her hair "my dear girls I love both so much I have missed you"
"Hi it's nice to meet you," Daisuke said offering his hand to Miyong who pulled him into a manly hug
"I cannot thank you enough for bringing my daughter home and saving my family"
"Ieona Miyong Sienna Daisuke and little Ziya," a voice nearby said
the family parted to notice
an elder gentleman in a dark suit standing nearby accompanied by another well-dressed couple
it was the king of Huassain Mizuno Hitsugaya
"Hello, grandson if I may call you that, its wonderful to finally meet you and see your face you are the spitting image of your father,"
"Hello sir" Daisuke replied "thank you for arranging for us to also accompany the children it means a lot to us"
"I wanted to do something for you and your mate to show my goodwill towards you especially after hearing about your family situation, please let me introduce your uncle
this is Yerick Hitsugaya your father's brother and this is his wife your aunt Yeon-Ae Hitsugaya"
"Prince and Princess of Huassain? correct?" Daisuke asked
"yes we are but you and sienna don't need to address us so formally here just call me Aunty Ae" she replied with a smile
"thats much more comfortable for the children as well it's very nice to meet you both you can call me Eric it's easier for galactic language pronunciation," his uncle said offering his hand
"Aunty Ae and Uncle Eric it's nice to meet you both" he shook their hands
"hello sienna I have been waiting to meet you I am very much a fan of your writing
your words are very poetic
I thought a young lady who writes lyrics like this must be a charming lady I see that I was not wrong you're most lovely but I also see you have a strong character in you,
such a brave girl you have been through so much in your life but you still have a great heart to give so much love and care to others, I am delighted to welcome you into our family Sienna, an alpha like Daisuke needs a mate like you by his side"
"thank you very much" sienna replied flushing
Aunty Ae nodded "you two are already achieving so much I wish you could understand
the far-reaching impact of what you have done today"
"come we don't have much time we can't stand here and talk about such heavy things now"
his grandfather said putting an arm around Daisuke's shoulders
"We cannot take you, kids, into the city now but we have prepared a welcome for you both"
behind them, there were large tents sent up on the field and more people waiting
"come, let's rest out of the suns all the families, this way please!"
he called to them as they were busy embracing their happy children they
crossed the field and entered the tent they were greeted by people waiting to serve them food and drink
they were escorted to sit down at tables full of food
"wow" Rhakem breathed "so much food Daisuke and sienna made us a lot of food on Prylea but this is like a giant mountain of food we couldn't eat it all"
the king chuckled "I'm happy to hear my grandson showed you kids some great hospitality while you were with him now it's our turn to show them ours" he said
"to thank them for their efforts and spend some time before they have to say goodbye again come
everyone sit," let sienna and her family sit together please kids be mindful"
sienna giggled in amusement sadeska and Quin both hurrying to take siennas bags
"Hey!" Daisuke said taking the bag and lifting it high out of their reach
"behave yourselves or you won't get any!" Daisuke warned teasing
the kids all pouted adorably
"you all brought some kind of treat for the kids with you?" the king asked
"it's something we brought for everyone, the kids had it on Prylea" Daisuke explained
"and they like it a lot you guys don't have it here on Huassain so we decided to bring some to share to let their parents have a taste
hopefully, after tasting it you will perhaps think about the possibility of producing such a treat here on Huassain in the future"
"ah I see," the king said amused Daisuke led them to a table out of his bag as a server came over he pulled out a smaller bag it was a cooler pack that would keep the ice cream cold
he unzipped it and frost came out
"wow it survived the beam very well"
he said surprised "I thought it might possibly melt its supposed to be served cold" he explained
he pulled out a large carton of ice cream it was a long box with several individual cups of ice cream
inside
"everyone can have a cup theres enough so after we eat we will share it out for desert ok," Daisuke said
"yes please!" the kids happily agreed
the king chuckled shaking his head he gave the icecream to the waiters to put into cold storage until later
they sat down to eat,
