I couldn't tell That the time had passed because time and space was different here then it was on earth.
There are smells I never smelled before , the perfumes I never knew about and the clothing design I've never seen, but it was there and it was there to celebrate me.
After a long explanation of the blue dude that I saw earlier, I became conscious that this was his palace and he and the other blue dude ran it.
Still couldn't figure out how its name is said or spelled but I cut it short and called him Fly , short for Flyorian and another name he implies to have.
The female was apparently not what she seems to be but she believes it to be.
For the next three months I stayed with them and learned a lot from them. At that time, it felt like we became closer and inseparable.
I was indulging in beautiful self made dresses and new flavors of dishes i did not recognize, i had learned how to behave and for those three months i have only known the palace doors and halls.
Fly became my friend and his subject called Aldaan Piapa , she is his protector and wherever he goes, she follows. Only now she is more with me than being preoccupied by him.
It was evening now and it was time for dinner. I was called to have it with Fly and Piapa. Today they asked me to go on a stroll because he had something important to announce.
I got dressed in a cute purple and dark blue dress that felt soft as silk would feel, the design on it was alien to me but their twist and twirl had a delicate aspect to it.
The handkerchief where specially designed for my hands because nobody in this palace has fIngers as me, they only have four fingers each hand which they didn't had to worry about the not so handy fifth finger just like me, come to think of it i look very different from them, perhaps i am the alien in this world?
The finishing touch is placed upon my head to disguise my ears. They fold it around my head and I am ready to go, " shall we ? " propose Piapa the alien that happens to believe she is blue and her hand gesture asking me to take hers and so I did.
It is a strange feeling i have in my stomach the way i feel and the way i react to them, like a first time going to school and wondering if everyone will accept you, i can trust them because i remember my ancestor Baku for what he teaches me, " trust them" it's stayed in my head as a loop of remembrance.
I know that I am never alone , because I know they are always in my memories.
We have been walking for about twenty minutes and now I see the Royal prince himself standing next to an extraordinary tree. I look at the ground, which is barely a ground.
Will I be able to walk upon it? Piapa now asked me to go on her back " i know that you have no gravity here , so this would be a problem for you, we do not want you to fall, so hop on", i did.
The night became so beautiful and bright, it was different than on earth , then again i have never been above ground, the sea and the earth is what i know, so i have no knowledge or control over air and clouds.
" We are here " she says to the prince after flying there and did I mention that she has wings? Well now it is mentioned, her hair is blond , she has one eye closed and the other is artificial ,long elven ears, it seemed that plants grew from her ear flesh, her nose is pink, as her lips, her hands are soft and elegant fingers although they are four of them, her body type is thick and soft and she is taller than the prince.
Fly on the other hand if i can describe his facial structure , it looks like he is older than me, because he is taller than me, but looking at his face type he was just very young and could be around my age but much more older, he had long hairy ears , blue skin, eyes as the clouds and his nose pink as my hand palm his lips to, also tall but smaller than Piapa.
The scenery is in front of the palace, in the Royaltin's garden , where there were creatures called crymonos , playing , sleeping and goofing around.
Inside the other side of the palace there is the scientist who was doing some experiment on one of the crymonos, and I saw Flyorian holding a book he had probably found in his library.
"Dr.Sycon , bring us one of your test subjects " he meant the animals they tested on, the scientist does as he says and when the crymonos came closer i was put upon his back, at first i got really afraid but then i adjusted my emotion, i caress it , thinking that it would make me feel better.
"Daughter of the Sun , shall we take a stroll while we eat these delicacies?" he proposed, i nod.
"It has been three months already…" I hesitate to converse, he replies with a smile and says " You mean three moons? " he asked and I nodded.
The peaceful walk lasted about thirty minutes and our food disappeared into our stomachs, so I decided to break the silence " I feel-", "Do you-" we both seemed to want to break it and we both shattered in laughter, " It's silly isn't it?" I ask and he nodds "... Do you feel more at ease now that you have gotten to know us for a while?" he asked and my response was " I do, i was going to say that i felt, that it was time to understand more about me being here..", as I demanded he take out his book and open it, the hologram appears from it and he tells the story of a prophecy that happened millions ago and it went like this..
"Long time ago there was a god called , the one who exist , the one who exist had created human beings and a creature of the universe to keep a planetary called 'Darka' , company, the creature had a name called Eüos and it meant he whom created us, Eüos created Darka into a fruitful planet that was it's art and proud, but the one who exist had a problem with his creation, the universe felt out of balance and it had to be reborn, Eüos creation suffered under it and so he asked it to become entirely his.
Because of the bold request of Eüos , to create a parallel world, The one who exist made Eüos suffer the consequences and Eüos had to sacrifice itself, each thousands of years, to become a balance of this universe, when the one who exist saw that Eüos was suffering, it took one of his own creation to save Eüos and thus became the promises of the one who exist.
It says that if Eüos is in his deepest pain, each thousand years, a Red soldier comes from the world it created , to save Darka until the universe needs a fulfillment , a balance.
and that balance is the warrior of the sun, she will not only save Darka she also will lift the curse of death of Eüos and regain the universal balance and become the saviour of both worlds..".
We arrive near the entrance of the palace again and prince Fly turns around and stares at me "who do you think that saviour could be?" he asked and i didnt know how to react.
He asked Piapa to come and take me from the animal I was upon called crymonos, " Bye crymo!" I saluted it and it ran back into the garden.
The three of us enter the big golden white door and when the door closes behind us it stops for a moment hesitant and full of uncertainty " wait ! " I let out and so they did with their backs still against me and I found myself biting on my lip, frowning, it couldn't be me, I think.", I then interrupt her " So ..you're telling me that story because you all think i could be the chosen one for this mission?!" I finally ask and one of them turns around. It is Piapa "Yes daughter of the sun".
It made me more frustrated ,so I needed time alone. I stormed towards my room with Piapa flying after me, " Pleas , let us talk about this.." she pleaded and i still kept running and shut the door " … Daughter of the sun? Daughter of the sun! " I heard her asking for me on repeat and bouncing on the door, Flyorian at this point joined her and asked her to go "yes my royal" and so she did.
For about five minutes of silence I hear him speak between a sight " daughter of the sun. It all is a lot to take in but it is time you realize that going home isn't an option, our people, shians of this whole planet are waiting for hope and you happen to be it, we won't force you anything but know that you wouldn't be alone.
Find your elements and they will find you if you do not find them and fate has to be faced at some point even if it isn't how you saw your life, it will take some time for you to understand the ways of darkashia, because there are many of us in this planet, that has different perspective of what a perfect society rules and values should be like but i believe in you.
Because you are the hope my parents talked about and today you are here in front of us.
I have told them about you and the Queen mother would love to see you.., please find a way back to opening that door to becoming receptive, accepting the situation you find yourself in.. " and so he left, leaving me figuring it out for myself.
Eventually my door , was open again and i was ready to face the Queen Mother, there was a phrase my grandmother told me before my disappearing ,".. i will not be here physically but i will be there mentally, i will never forget you even after death and promise to guide you till the day you join the stars..", that no matter what happens she has faith in her guidance and if it is this what she has to do, then she will do it.
Piapa came in the room with freshly new clothing, this time very traditional, I had to show more cleavage and this time my ears wouldn't be covered but my whole face by putting a veiling.
"Aldaan Piapa? " I said and Piapa turned around and faced me reading off my emotions " ..please it's oke Daughter of the sun, you are more courageous than you think".
I smiled , they were always so comforting, always encouraging me and trying to make me feel better.
Fly was more the silent type , he talked more with his gestures then his mouth, but for some reason that day he talked to me and it made me decide.
The palace halls had a lot of pictures from their ancient generations, till now and I swore I could have seen Fly on the wall when he was just a little infant with his mother and father plus his Aldaan when she was way younger.
At the royal private room , we entered with Piapa and she was excluded immediately.
I saw two creatures that were two meters, almost three meters tall, very impressed by it.
I am not able to move an inch away from where I stood, I thought that Piapa was tall but that was a lie, it is worse than them.
" My Queen Mother and My king father, I have stumbled upon a child of the sun, while you were at your whereabouts..", he announces, I still stayed impressed behind me, the father looks confused at me " what do you think of my queen?"he asks, staring at her for giving an order , she strokes her husband's face and then stands up walking up to her child.
" Flyorian son of us and Prince of Kingdom of Fyor, is this how you try to avoid marrying a future Queen that would take over the Royaltin bloodline?" She asked, he became purple of shyness.
" Queen Mother!..." he whispers loudly , she steps then towards me after shuffling his hair , while making smirking sounds.
" .Aah....child of the sun.., let me unveil you" she asked , which sounded like a demand, I was so small for her that with two fingers she lifted my veil.
Her eyes became bigger and she finally saw it, my ears , my nose weren't the same as them, even my skin and texture, she ask for my hand and saw my fingers , counted them and counted in an order hers.
" Children of the sun are such extraordinary creatures" she comments, I would say the same but sind's I'm the strange one over here , it seems for them not possible to understand.
" ..M-my Royal!" I bow in all stress, She looks at her husband and they both laugh , she takes her husband from his chair and leads him to me , now both impressive body legs, stand in front of me.
"My King look at her , could she be younger than our son?" She asks and her husband asks me to " explain myself".
Explain myself? How can one even do that? It's too complicated for me to understand what that means, " i-i am ..euh...a child? I mean I am and I am then years old, euhm… I love nature, l-life?..I."
And so it was basically what I said: the queen mother smiles and taps on her husband's shoulders " child , you look to us like a toddler , a child? Then you are born very small, are all children of the sun like this?".
I could not truly know how to answer that one but I tried making something of it and replied " as far I know children of my age are either like me or smaller or taller , it pretty much depends on how you grow and what you eat , e-excuse me but what does that matter? Aren't we supposed to figure out what's next?" I then tapped on my mouth to blur this out so naturally and the mother burst even more into laughter " I like her ! " she says and from there on we could finally discuss the important matter.
" So my son, explain to us how far she knows and what is there to be done now that she is here?" Ask the queen mother while sitting back down with her husband.
The meeting went on about how I came here, about my book and their prophecy and then the final conclusion came to discussion " ..so that's how far she knows who she is to us but allow me to say that we have been testing her for the past few moons and she has the character of a warrior, she is brave as you see..", advocates the Prince for me " I see , you grew fond of her and that's all cute , but we still needs to, put her on one mission , one mission that will activate her sun power, then she can go around the world to find her elements , this you should know it won't be easy" decides the queen mother.
Which made Fly look at me for a moment " then which mission should she start without fighting experience?" He asks desperately.
It seems that the King father comes down after being ordered by the queen mother to give a piece of cloth and hands it over to me.
" What is this?" I ask , Fly comes to me and takes the cloth and reads it out loud " mission 1 solve the family problem at the Aliatree clan ,Chief Diéhos deceived his clan by telling his people that his youngest offspring is soon the new queen of the blue moon, mission is to clear the confusion of the clan and clear the name of the chief of the Aliatree. Make his oldest daughter return home before the lunar celebration and let her claim what is rightfully her , her throne? So how is she supposed to know who that lost daughter might be?" He defends asking about it.
His mother looks at him " she will know because it's soon the birthday of a certain someone we know , she raised you..', with that said Fly realises who she was talking about.
" There is only one condition, daughter of the sun" she directs towards me , " not telling her until you've arrived, otherwise she will refuse it , understand?" I nodded and so they gave us one month to prepare this.
