The Red Horizon

It was dark and cold as Arya sat by her bedroom window staring at what seemed to be a meteor shower. The sky light up like the fourth of July. She was a girl of sixteen years old, tall, thin and skin a pale a snow. She hurried to her night stand and placed a small hair tie around her wrist as she ran out of the room. She cautiously ran out of her foster moms house to the nearby open corn field to get a better look at what she had seen through the window of her bedroom. To her surprise it wasn't a meteor shower but instead a space craft with the markings 2134 illumonus star 1 written on the side of it. The question being wether this was a dream of not had flashed through her mind several times by now. Aside from the horrific life she has this could well be the answer to ger prayers. She has finally gone completely mad. They will take her away to the insane asylum. She was thrown away as a baby so no one wanted her anyway. Just as she was about to go back to her house a small blue beam came down from the ship and began to pull her up through the field and sky. Teleportation was something read in books and seen on TV. Trying to gather her thoughts she began to realize that she was not dreaming. When she came on board she was taken to a room full of doctors and Commander O'Neal. The doctor ran some tests and Commander O'Neal filled her in on why she was taken. O' Neal was about in his mid thirties stocky build and had thick black hair and hazel eyes. He spoke sternly and was right to the point. He said they believed she was the lost heir to the throne of Gala. Many years ago a woman lost control of her space craft and ended up crashing into Earth. The Galaien people call Earth the unwanted planet. She was rescued by a man who helped her. They fell in love and in time got married and had a baby. A war had broke out on Gala and it wasn't safe to go back especially with the only living heir. The Preveak people were ruthless and were tracking Sefria and her husband Damian. In the end of all of the hiding they found them. Killing Damian was easy but Sefria had powers. She used the last remaining power after being fatally wounded to teleport her child to an orphanage she had passed everyday since she had married Damian. Knowing this day would come she also left a necklace with the key that held all the answer. Afyer being told all of this Arya needed te to process the idea of ruling and living somewhere other than Earth but to her this was exciting. The hopes of leaving this horrible life made her very happy. The next morning she woke up to new clothes and a maid. She was the heir and was going home. As they came closer she felt a power she never felt before and in the horizon all she saw was a red hue and a place that she knew she could call home Gala a new beginning. She was told many things before she entered the castle. She was told of the war that was still going on. Then questions came to her. How would she help? Was she suppose to stop the war? What powers does she posses? Will she be enough?What if she fails? She was brought to a room filled with many treasures beyond belief. Many of these things she had never seen before in her life. Her maids ran her bath water and undressed her. Oblivious to this tradition she was a little hesitant. She was clothed in a fine silk dress of red with gold trim. The town was elegant and complimented her figure in all the right places. Her hair was placed in a tightly fitted bun at the back of her head. She was then sprayed with a aroma of a wild rose. A light pink shade of color applied to her lips and a hint of blush and she was ready to meet the Council. This was all happening so fast. Commander O'Neal informed her of what to expect. The Council was placed in charge until she was found fit to rule. They would determine her worth. She entered a hall big enough to fit at least twenty school buses in. The room was adorne with golden curtains and furniture that had to be shipped in from an acient palace in Eastern Europe. The floors were marble and columns strew across the room in a beautiful formation like ballroom dancers. Then she refocused to the Council of men who stood before her. Seven there were seven men who looked like they already decided her fate. Now how would she convince them otherwise. She wanted to stay to rule. At least she thought she did. After they talked and talked some more they decided to test her power. The one man Malian took a jar out filled with what seeme to be a black substance and opened the lid. He took a vial of blood that was labeled with her name on it and dumped it into the jar. To all of their suprise the substance turned to ash. They all looked scared, confused and happy. Then something strange happen they all procceded to get up from the table and bowed. They swore their allegiance to Arya. So begins the days of Queen of Gala. The res horizon was pollution and the blackness was taking over. She was told her blood would save the planet. Was she a ruler or a sacrifice? She need to find out more. Until then she will ask questions and learn more about her power. She would learn about her people and how to protect them. She knew she was home and that was all that mattered.
