Ending the cousins' war.

On our way to the palace, we found some vessels that looked round and of metal.

I sincerely did not get why there was so much metallic stuff in this part of the country but it worked for them.

So anyways we got on those vessels and of course one big enough to get us there, they were driving on magnets that were connected throughout the whole city.

They were called helpers , those who drive you out of necessity and not out of comfort.

If you had to walk five minutes to a market they would definitely let you go there by foot and refuse you, but going to the palace required a vessel and not any vessel but one that came from the royals themselves.

It took us at least thirty minutes to get there by foot but with the vessels it spared you fifteen minutes.

As long as we get there right? We wouldn't want to make the elder wait.

We had already spent more than three days in this country and it was more than enough , you could see the long faces of my companions and their nagging, the metal chairs are a burden, the ground has no feelings, the air is toxic and the people are just very brutally honest.

But somehow I liked it, the people's honesty I mean, they had a thought and they would just say it.

Maybe to fly it is because of their non elegant way of doing it and to Fionna there are just no beautiful flowers , mud or grass.

But to me this whole world was strange.

Back then I said " you guys can we just appreciate the fact that we are making history?" Fionna rolls her eyes and Fly is fixating on me with slight irritation written all over his forehead.

" Next time let's make history somewhere else.." I am very much bothered by their behavior and so I say nothing further.

The twins did not come with us , they wanted to make sure that I held my part of the deal.

But I can persuade the elders with the address that they gave me.

" We have arrived at the uyaya palace", uyaya means sister just like Yaya would mean sister in some African languages, which I found fascinating because It made me feel like we are not so different from them after all.

We stepped off the vessel and paid the male darkarian and off he went.

Then we debated who was going to talk and of course Fly had the best way of communicating but somehow this time I felt I had to speak and that my way of speaking would come off better to them.

We were blind folded at the entrance , we were not allowed to know how we got in and how we got out.

Then after a moment we arrived at the throne hall and they unfold my blindfold.

I see ...a boring throne hall where there is almost nothing surrounded by the elder and the two guards holding her hostage, even if she doesn't see it that way.

" What do you want from the elders?" Ask one of the guards.

I sighed. I can see what the sister queen meant by the prison they lived in.

" I want the elder to speak for herself !" determined I was back then, the elder looked at me with eyes as blant she never had been given love and her heart had become hard as stone.

How could she not, she has been suffocated her whole life.

How can she be expected to be a mother if the mother is braindead? I soon realize that it isn't easy to be a parent in a world they live in let alone be a sister queen.

So here we are trying to propose something with a wall of ice.

I only needed to know how to put a fire on in this cold, that way it will melt bit by bit until the one that was trapped in it is freed.

The only difficult thing was the guards guarding their "elder" in a very particular way.

So I've decided to use something they could not win against a proposal that they had to accept and that was the war ending.

"..We have and urgent matter to discuss with the one you put on the throne " says Fionna ,"If I recall that person had to be already in this palace, I do not see her , yet you promised us to get her back then we can do royal affairs" says the guards strangely in synchronization.

Flyorian had stepped up and then tried to convince " ..yes and we found her, only we did not bring her because we want to make a proposal..if i may?" Now the guards looked interested when he talked.

"A boy cannot rule affairs , how are you trying?" asked one of the guards and then Fly took out his crown and showed it to them. The guards trembled and sat on their knees.

"Your Royaltin, you have come, our imprudent we will let you speak with the elder.." and so they went, that easily, power was something that Fly had.

They left us with the elder who was staring blankly at us for a moment and then asked us what had brought us here without her daughter.

"..Are you happy?" i asked out of curiosity, she then answered, "happiness is an illusion, she should know that we are not allowed to live how we want, we are just an emblem that represents the country we are not made to rule firsthand, she ran because she had to marry and soon bear children that she did not wanted, but it is not up to her to want, it is up to her to do".

I then expressed my upsetting emotions and said "..what a strange way of punishing yourself, do you not see how your body is defeated? Your eyes have no soul, and your breath is taken away, when was the time you were outside the city?

female darkarian, strong and outspoken, they are not made with restrictions, but how come you are made out of them?", she'd all of a sudden looked straight at me and with a death stare and her eye color changed," ..I see.." was what she let out, as if she just realized that she had been living on stage like a puppet used to entertain a living lie.

It was not her fault, because this is what she has known all her life " ..i am the daughter of the sun.." I took out my cape while the words flew out of my mouth and my companions back then tried to stop me but I pushed them away with my aura.

"Lightbringer and the truth of all living existence ", after that sentence, I lit up my eyes to show her my true form " daughter of the sun , don't.." I cut Fionna off with a stare and she looked away.

I then touch the elder's forehead, and speak "...and when I say see clarity , you will see truth.." and words come out of my mouth "..mot nnem , mot nnem" entered her soul and her soul screamed her lungs out.

A sound so high pitched that ears were covered and then the light going thru the room liberating darkness , toxic air vanished and silence remained in the whole palace..

Guards had fallen on the ground and servants too, Fly and Fionna standing next to me protected by their guardian, air and nature..

She stopped screaming eventually and the elder fell, but got catched by Fly, laying there in his arms she slowly recovered and woke up, my light faded and my eyes came back to normal.

Fionna took my cape and band to hide my ears and appearance.

The elder woke up slowly and asked what had happened.

we stared at each other " My daughter and my son, where are they?" she immediately asked and her voice cracked , I could find her soul and life in her again.

"Elder, what happened to you?" ask Fly , the elder reaches out for help , we help her to get up and then she took a deep breath.

" ..They used tranquilizers on me , so that i would not feel so deep anymore..but I was still there just not being able to talk or to express" she explained, that is the reason why she was the way she was.

"Elder, we wish for this war to stop between the two nations, can you help us signing a contract that says that the war should be now over and reconcile with the cousins, so that we can be cousins again..", he proposed.

She goes back and forth in the room, then she would take place to her seat "but as i remember, you would bring my daughter back and then i could do that, as long Yquina and Yraus is not home i do not conceile, even if the guards are what they are, they follow the rules my ancestor made, whom are also yours.

They are inside our roots, we can't change it because it is easy, no, these are the things that happened.

If you want a contract with the cousins then you have to bring my child home , so that she can follow the tradition, so that she can have a life ".. I'm confused by her brainwashed beliefs and so i entered the conversation and defend the Fly proposal, " the guards are using this as an excuse to abuse you all , if being locked up in a castle is what you think life is , don't push that mind on your daughter, but i might have a solution for this to make both parties happy" i said and so she was partant to discuss it.

We had a long conversation about her daughter coming back home and her daughter's freedom and what we could do as an alternatief so that she is still an emblem but will travel in secret then working out with the cousins about the cold war that has been going on for ages.

The problem was deeper between the cousins and therefore needed to be a tribunal where there was a mutual decision made by both parties, it was all politics but it was how they did things.

Eventually after three days of negotiation the elder and I came to an understanding and she complied with the fact that her daughter would have her way of freedom by serving the daughter of the sun ,"it would be an honor to serve Euos savior" she would say and I doubt that was the only thing that she is wanting out of this.

She slipped a letter in my hand before we took our leave to find her daughter and son.

In those three days she told me about them when they were children.

How Yquina was the one most outspoken and that Yraus was the one most inwardly not talkative but he once did.

Of course we got blindfolded again to leave the palace but one thing I was certain of is that we kind of changed minds from within the palace.

We cured her and so the elder will now make her decision to be in this state forever or to get released.

Once outside she had whispered to me that I should open the letter once I got into one of the vessels.

We got one right away and sat our course outside the city kartuu.

The wall is open and we could go through it back and forth because of a traditional feast that took place.

The city celebrated their independence the day they split from the Lyor's society.

I could see past their happiness, but fly did not understand this behavior , did not understand what his country did to them.

Once we got off the vessel and we got dropped off outside of the gate our journey began to the address the twins gave us.

Fionna had not spoken , and Fly had been doing nothing but moping around.

I turn around and discuss it " do you know why you're so angry?" I asked him surprisingly and gave me a straightforward answer " I do, I am angry because we Lyor's are an emblem of peace , love , gratitude, calm, our lives are built on good deeds and because we did not want that to be infected by the cousins. We prefered to cut them off , they were spreading the genes of these minds , we had to make them judged by the oracle..when that happened the oracle gave us. Prophecy that if we kept them and we kept breeding between ourselves we would not see the Lyor's peace and tranquility ever again.. so you have seen what it did cutting them off? We can't have those kind of brutal female becoming puppets and toxic air where you have to live with masks all your life and …" I did not let him finish, I walked away, it's not that he wasn't wrong but it's just that I could not be emotional right now.

".. when the former chosen one came to us and the cousins were in a peaceful place , and something happened when the last Euos ruled. It was a god that was spreading bad things in the air , a lot of nations were punished , sun of daughter, I do not get why we were punished..but this is the result.." he continued to irritate me ,there were so many stories , so many things to fix , so many untold truth and false beliefs.

The Lyor's think they are infected and the darkarians think they are locked up and others may argue free.

Was it the male lyors that started to rebel against a nation of female rulers and became darkarians? Were there oppressed feelings , something like they were made to do?

What was it? All the questions I'll ask but he had for the first time in that one year we've known each other.

He was so bothered by this world he just wanted to leave.

Then Fionna spoke up and said " we've been here for about five days , too many days that we should've been. We should talk to those twins , they are rather we like it or not , rather they look different , talk different and have different opinions we still have a bigger cause , that is we've been chosen to be the daughter of the sun her ellement , if we can't come to an agreement that is already I failed mission , but may I say that , here the focus is getting the daughter back to her mommy and then getting her out of darkar , a city with toxic lifestyle I must say, but we've found the fifth element , that means the other ones will be easy to find, so I prefer that we stop arguing and focus on convincing the sister queen or whatever to go on this mission with us.." She was right, after that the road was long but none of us had a conversation to start.

I think we had walked so much through that dessert we started to hallucinate, the map indicated that we had to go to find the Bäko lake, it was a lake , nobody could swim in except a Darkarian.

Because of their build up immune system.

We eventually saw a small house looking like a fisher home , just as described on the map.

We decided to go there and ask directions to a temple called tempai.

We went to that door and shouted "hello someone there?".

Eventually a dark purple blue tall male darkarian with his muscled open in the air came outside.

He had the height of Piapa, it could be he was older then us , but he had a bandage on , it seemed he was blind.

" Oh we are sorry.." we said and wanted to go away , he had a long staff in his hand and tapped it on my shoulders gently, I started to realize that it was one of the twins.

He gestured for us to come inside, their home was not metal but made out of sorts of bamboo.

It had small window holes and a little home garden, in the middle there was a place where you could sit.

The smell inside was nice to have inside your nostrils.

He disappeared behind a curtain and came back with fish snacks.

He placed it in the middle, probably the gentlest male darkaria I've known but problems with communication.

He disappeared behind dark velvet curtains and my eyes now wandered off to the room, I was not the only one.

There was a template with the form of an insect that could be earthly, I then start a conversation about it and then Fly explained me that these insect has been ancient and nobody ever saw them but to the Darkarian it was an old simbole that was the symbol immortality, resurrection, transformation and protection.

The floor was green and looked like grass. I could see Fionna lifting up her mood.

How could it be that grass grew inside this home?

Out of the curtains Yquina now comes out and Yraus.

" Sorry for the wait.." she said embarrassed , I waved my hands meaning it didn't matter and that the wait was exciting.

She sat down in front of us and Yraus stood next to her.

He made sure his sister is well taken care of , gave her drinks and a smile.

I doubt a big guy like him could do that but he did.

She suggested I cut right through the case, so I did ," We have got a letter from home.." I said and handed it to her. She took it very fast and opened it, letting the ring that was holding it fall.

She read a letter that I didn't even read , because I felt that it wasn't written for me.

Yquina's eye color changed , meaning she was crying.

Her brother felt it and placed his hand palm on her cheek.

" Yraus , we can go home mother awaits us" she said , for whatever the letter said , it gave her courage to come to the palace.

So we are here back at where we are, as the elder had promised she would give us Yquina and her brother Yraus as they had to sign a promise to come back and the deal to silence the war was signed , once all the elements were collected.

Yquina is element zero , the basis element from which the story begins of all planets, yet never considered as an element, Yraus is her mass where the dark lives in, together they balance me but are also my destruction.

All chosen ones had four elements but for the daughter of the sun who is herself another ellement she needed the dark to light up and the dark to suck the light from her to create balance.

So the code Yquina and Yraus had lived by , had reduced and in order to find balance between two nations I needed to create balance between them all.

It would take me at least a filthy sicle to create balance within me to find the others , fire and water.

But the environment is unknown, I am still too little and need to control my powers before going on that mission which means that it would take time , time to train.

Yquina and Yraus had packed their belongings, they had appeared with Armor and with combat clothings.

We were ready to go and take them to the kingdom of Lyor and after that , training will start.
