An Unwanted Visitor

The morning after her coronation she was wondering what she was going to do. The idea of getting married was not setting well with Arya. She felt as though there was an underlying reason on why prince Tristan wanted to get married to her considering their planets were at war. Marriage was a life long commitment and seriously she has no feelings toward him. This would only be a marriage of war. She needed to consider any other option but marriage. Arya spoke with Lao Ria and Merriam about how she felt. They informed Arya about the seriousness of the marriage. Arya needed to be careful on her choices of who to talk to. People that lived within the castle walls were not loyal to her but to Prince Tristan. A ruler was not in control of Gala for over Sixteen years and things have become cut throat and under handed for sometime now. Arya wondered if Commander O'Neal could be trusted and yet again asked Captain Kalienc to request his company at once. Arya grew impatient and decided to take a stroll in the garden. Her planet was dying and the only thing she could think of was her blood. If the doctors knew she carried the cure why weren't they doing anything about it? She needed answers and more time. She only had one more day before the announcement of her marriage to Tristan. She heard a knock on her door and then entered Commander O'Neal. O' Neal seemed to more than willing to answer her questions. To find out Commander O' Neal had been orphaned when he was a child. Arya's mother had found him early one morning on the doorsteps of the palace and begged her father who was king at the time to keep him. He became her ward and she was only eighteen but had enormous love in her heart for him. The day she learned about her betrothed she made it known she didn't have any intention on marrying. Her father had told her that refusing marriage would cause a war. She understood what she needed to do. She needed to run away. She was going to take Magnus and leave Gala. Magnus was only thirteen years old but had sworn his loyalty to King Horan. He refused the offer. With a saddened heart he told her he was choosing to stay on Gala. He wanted to lead an army and one day command it. Sefria was understanding but broken hearted at the same time. Knowing this made Arya want to get to know the Commander even more. He looked sad as he relived the whole horrible day over again. He looked at Arya and swore to protect her and never leave her side. Understanding that she had his full trust and loyalty she asked him a most serious question. Arya wanted to know what to do about the proposal. Commander O'Neal told Arya that stopping the war was necessary but to be careful her blood was what Preveak wanted. They wanted the cure. They wanted to control the galaxy not just Gala but all of them. She was going to be a solution to the war by marrying the Prince but what happens next is worse. Another knock at her door seemed to startle them both. O'Neal answered the door and instantly became silent. Üther was a man who was not loyal to any planet and called non of them home. It was said he lived in another realm. His presents brought a very strange feeling to Arya. It was like she knew him. She felt comfortable and not as worried as before. Üther asked to speak with her alone. Arya nodded at O'Neal as though to tell him it was ok to leave her alone with him. He was handsome beyond anyone she had ever seen before. A good seven foot tall man with a body of a God. His hair short shape to his head brown like caramel popcorn. His eyes light purple bluish with a green hue. He walked with authority and talked with the most high of confidence. He wore a shirt of blackened silk and vest of some material unknown to her. His pants were well fitted around his waist and flowed loosely on the legs. He was just beautifully made and smelled of pine trees and waterfalls. Arya only remembered the beginning of the short conversation. He claimed to be her betrothed. Promised to Arya when she came of age and along with that the throne. He said he had the same power she did and more. He told Arya he could show her how to control her power. Arya wanted to know more and offered him tea in the garden. That is all she could remember. The next thing she recalls is the ceiling of a ship.
