BXBX NOVEL Chapter 76 - A Forgotten Past
* Far Out - Overdrive *

"Anyhow, thanks for sharing some history with us, but I don\'t think any of us care enough to discuss that." She said out loud.
"But what if the Primordial Dragon of Light has an eye on you?" Joey asked sincerely.
"He shouldn\'t, I\'m but a little alien bo- girl actually that\'s so messed up to be of any importance." she said as she looked down on her body.
Living a series of big fat lies for a life has had a toll on poor Raven. From being a boy to now being a girl. From a human to an alien race.
\'Heck, if I think back, my dad never liked me and wanted to sell me away. My mother was so blinded by her position as the mayor that I doubt she even knew my name. And that\'s not taking into account that I\'m not really their real daughter.
\'If am an alien then that means my real parents had already given up on me sending me here, but that woman...\' that azure haired woman was like a small torch making Raven\'s way clear as she navigates through her gloomy life.
"Auk!" Raven was suddenly grasping for air as Maria hugged her tightly.
"Never say that again..." she said with tears in her eyes. Out of everyone here, Maya and Maria had known Raven the longest, but what made them closer to eachother was that how their lives started as a mess, only to get better at the end. Or so she hopes.
\'Ah, I have others lighting my gloomy way,\' she thought with a smile as she returned Maria\'s warm hug.
"Are you gonna join or you\'re still playing \'hard to get\'?"
"Eh? I\'ve never- I don\'t- I..." Maya didn\'t know how to answer so she only walked up to Raven and Maria and squeezed both of them.
Or rather tired, as she was too small for that.
...
"Um, by the way, how do you know all of that?" Raven asked Joey, "You said on of the elders talked to you? Did you live on planet Erembourc?"
"Yes," Joey said surprising everyone, including Raven herself. She knew he was a soul weaver but didn\'t expect he\'d lived there.
"I lived my first four years there. You lived there one year less..." he said looking at Raven.
"Eh? Me?" Saying she was confused would be an understatement.
"Yes, I told you before, you are the prince- or rather the princess of the soul weavers."
"But that doesn\'t make any sense!" Camilla jumped in, "How would you even know that you lived there or remember such things if you\'ve left at the age of three, how old are you now even?"
"I\'m seventeen, a year older than Raven. But soul weavers, unlike humans mature way earlier. At the age of six months we\'d be able to function as a ten year old human child."
"But that doesn\'t make any sense, OMG!" Camilla was loosing it. All of the previous talk about Rulers and whatnot had made her nerves itch inside.
"It does..." Joey said calmly, "I\'ve lived with Raven as her bodyguard in the castle. My father was known as Lord sixth, one of the Great Sages and leader of the Guardian Clan.
"He was close friends with the king, Raven\'s fath... Is it ok if I continue?" he asked this time looking at Raven, as he remembered last time she had told him to not discuss the matter.
"Ah, please keep going."
"Alright," he said looking up the roof to remember the past events, "Your father was the king, Lord Marlock, or Lord First, also the leader of the Royals, or the Shadow Clan.
"Your mother was the queen, Lady Avavia, the daughter of Lord Seventh, of the Phoenix Clan.
"You were known as prince Araxel." Joey continued.
"Araxel..." Raven said as she closed her eyes to see if that stirs any memories, but nothing happened.
"The reason why we were sent to Earth, was because of a war..." Joey took a second to remember further, "I don\'t know the details but I remember that my father told me to go inside a space capsule of sorts and that when the door open again, I\'ll be somewhere else.
"My mission was to find you and serve you back as your bodyguard." he said with determination as he looked Raven in the eyes.
"Wait, when did that happen?" Asked Camilla.
"Err, when I was four, so thirteen year ago, maybe?"
"Oh. My. God..." Camilla whispered loudly in surprise, "it can\'t be a coincidence..."
"Err, what can\'t be-"
"Don\'t you remember?" Camilla was acting like Sarah Connor when she first found out about the day of judgement and the whole intelligent robots plot. "Thirteen years ago! When multiple weird comets hit Earth, it was them! The comets are just probably a cover up made by the EDA, it was the Erembourcian ships!
"And in that day, humanity came to know its first ability user! That\'s how we obtained our powers!" Camilla was practically screaming as she thought she now understands the secrets of the universe.
"How can ships do that though?" Maya asked with a neutral experience which was weird for her.
"I don\'t know, but it had to be them! Raven don\'t you agree?" Camilla asked but Raven was staring at the ground with a desperate expression.
Noticing that, Maira quickly put her hand over her shoulder, "what\'s wrong honey?"
"Eh? Ah... nothing don\'t worry about it, haha" even though that\'s what Raven had said, her eyes spoke otherwise.
She hasn\'t heard anything after the mention of the war. She didn\'t know why, since she still doesn\'t remember anything. However the word brought back a bad feeling, an ominous one at that.
She felt like her heart was out of her chest spraying blood into her mouth, burning her lungs in their search for oxygen in her own metallic red liquid.
She was sad, desperate, mad, and ready to either destroy herself or the planet.
"Raven?" Maria nudged her again trying to get a real response out of her.
"I\'m sorry, I\'ll go outside help some people. Don\'t worry about me I\'ll be back in no time." she said as she ran out of the mansion.
She needed to destroy something, anything, \'I hope to anything that can hear to find some monsters out there....\'
