Story: Tess did get pregnant and come back to Earth with Max’s son. She did leave the baby with Max and go to the army base and destroy it, making it look like she was killed (just like in the show). However, she was able to get her ship running and went back to Antar seconds before the base exploded. Why did she go back to Antar…I’ll explain that later. Another difference in this story and the show is that Max decided to keep his son instead of giving him up for adoption, one of the reasons for this is that Liz fell in love with the baby. . With Phillip Evans help they drew up a birth certificate for Alexander (Xan) Maxwell Evans and Liz adopted Xan so that any evidence of Tess would be out of their lives forever. Also Tess destroyed any evidence of aliens when she destroyed the base so Graduation went without any incidence.

Earth (16 years later)

Max and Liz got married not too long after they graduated and not long after that Liz got pregnant with their daughter, Sarah Nicole Evans. So as you can imagine there first years of marriage was hard. Raising two kids, working and going to school could put stress on any relationship but it paid off. Max became a paralegal and works for his dad and Liz is a Biology teacher at West Roswell High and she is working on getting her doctorate in molecule biology.

Alexander (Xan to his friends and Xander to his mother) has grown up thinking Liz was his mother. He knows his dad is an alien and his mom has powers because Max saved her but for some reason he has no powers. He feels incompetent because of this, mainly because his little sister has powers, which he has yet to understand. He has strange dreams about a falling from the sky with a woman with blonde curls and his same blue eyes. He also feels incomplete, and he always feels like there is someone out there that is looking for him, and these dreams and feelings are becoming more prominent as his 17th birthday approaches.

Sarah is 15 and is more out going than her brother. While Xan is quiet and keeps to himself, Sarah is popular and smart. There’s only one thing about herself she doesn’t like, her power. She has premonitions, like her mother, when she touches things or people, they don’t happen all the time, but when they do she tries to ignore them the best she can.


Justin Valenti
His mother died when she was giving birth to him, so Justin grew up without his mother. His mother's last wish was to name him Justin and that's the reason he keeps hating every nickname given to him. Though he may seem like a rebel and easy getting mad-type, he's really a kind-hearted and carefull - just like his mother was.

Antar

Ok, so you are probably wondering why Tess went back to Antar. Well here it goes, After her first departure when she first came to Antar, she realized that she was pregnant with twins. Tess also realized that Khivar had backed out of his deal with Nasedo so she fled. She eventually found the Rebels on Antar that wanted to restore the royal bloodline back to the throne. A month later everyone celebrated the birth of the next rulers of Antar, Xanakin II and Xadalyn.
There birth had been prophesied for centuries: the twins that would reunite the five planets and bring an end to war. However soon after the twins were born Xan became very ill and Tess soon realized why. The day at the pod chamber, Max had connected with his son and Xan was constantly reaching out for his father which in return was draining his life away.
So Tess made a decision, she would take Xan back to Max so he may live. She didn’t want to do it, but there was no other way. So she went to earth and lied about why she had left Antar saying that Khivar had simply rejected Xan because he was human, never telling Max of his daughter.
(16 years later)
The war with Khivar is finally over. The Rebels fighting for their young Queen to regain her throne, finally defeated the traitor. And now it is time for peace, however there is a problem. Queen Xadalyn has the royal seal but it is not activated, this can only mean one thing…her father is still alive.

Xada grew up in a time of war and chaos. Her mother was killed when Xada was ten and she has no idea she even has a brother.(It was kept a secret at Tess’s wishes, as was the fact that Max was still alive). She grew up treated as the royalty she is and was trained to rule a planet in hopes that she would one day get to take her rightful place as Queen. Now that the war is over she is ready, but the fact that her seal is not yet activated means she can not be coroneted. She had grown up believing her father was dead but he is obviously not, so she must find him so he can hand over the seal to her.

Kyria Sayanna is Xada’s best friend and bodyguard. While Xada was learning to be Queen, Kyria was being trained to protect her. Kyria is smart and deadly, she has the power to manipulate time and so she came seem to appear out of nowhere and look to be really fast. Combine this power with her training and she is one of the deadliest people in the galaxy. It is to Kyria that Xada gives the secret job of finding Max and bringing him to Antar. If anybody but the select few find out that Xada’s seal is not activated it would only cause chaos in the kingdom.

Name: Skyler Anton
Age:25

Sklyer is Queen Xadalyn's head bodygaurd. He's been her body guard since she was a child and recently his feelings for her have grown beyond just being her protector. But he keeps his love her to himself because it would be unethical. Skyler's powers include, super human strength and telekinesis.

The story starts out with Kyria spying on Max, Liz, Sarah, and Xan, since she is trying to determine is Max is Xada’s father. Kyria also has a suspicion on who Xan is. If Kyria has to kidnap them or if she talks them into coming to Antar is up to the players. However, Max, Liz, Sarah, and Xan do end up on Antar one way or another.

~ Xadalyn~

I wake up and get out of bed quickly. I have a lot of things to do today and I can’t waste any time. Kyria should be arriving on Earth today and I am anxious to hear her reports. I signal for my ladies in waiting to come as I sit in front of my bureau so they can fix my long dark brown curls into some new style they’ve come up with. I try and tell them to keep it simple but they always insist on extravagant and I usually end up taking most of it down anyway.

I look at my reflection in the mirror and my mother’s eyes look back at me. I got my blue eyes, my milky white skin, and my curls from my mother, but for the first time I wonder if my dark brown locks came from my father. My father, the words sound strange to me. I don’t understand why mother never told me he was alive. Of course I know my mother had her secrets, but this one concerned us both.

My mother died when I was ten years old, back when we were still fighting Khivar’s armies. No apothecary in the kingdom could figure out what disease she suffered from and she died a slow painful death while I held her hand until she took her final breath. The Oracle said she died of a curse from the sins she committed in her past. I never understood what she meant by that and I never questioned it further as perhaps I should have, but I was a child and children don’t think like that. Children think there parents can do no wrong.

My handmaidens are now done with my hair exactly what my Ladies in Waiting have told them to do and it doesn’t look half bad. Half of my hair is pulled up while the rest of my curls hang loosely down my back. They have placed several Antarian pearls and crystals throughout my hair, a sign of wealth and royalty, and on my forehead, my silver tiara. I will get my crown when I am coroneted as the final sign of my Queen- ship.

I slip into a silk- like blue gown that matches my eyes perfectly and I leave my quarters with my Ladies and Waiting trailing behind me. We go out into the garden for break fast, like we usually do and the other girls gossip as I sit quietly and block out there pointless conversations.

I’ve always been a bit of a loner. The only real friend I’ve ever had was Kyria and she was always off training as was I so we never got to see too much of each other as we got older. Even though I had my mother, I always felt like a piece of me was missing and then there are those strange dreams I have of someone calling out to me from far away. Someone I should know. I thought at first I had stumbled upon someone else’s dream. But I knew the difference between dream walking and my dreams and this was my dreams…I think.

“Your aura is always so dark, my child.” An ancient voice says and I nearly jump out of my skin in surprise because now a woman with long white hair but a young face is sitting beside me on the bench, when moments before there was no one. The Oracle, also Kyria’s grandmother, actually I think its actually great, great grandmother. Nobody actually knows how old she is, but she is powerful. She can see the past, present and future, and she can also manipulate time. Kyria gets this power from her, in fact the Oracle is the one that decided Kyria would train to me my Dannion. A Dannion is a warrior who lives only to protect there King or Queen. In fact, to insure loyalty and love the Dannion is picked while they are still a child so they may grow up with there future master.

“You have your mother’s beauty, but your father’s caring spirit. You were made to be a Queen, my dear.” She says and I sit quietly and listen, that is the best thing to do with an ancient Oracle…listen. “He will see the similarities between you and your mother and is might make him scared and angry at first, but then he will see how innocent and fragile you truly are. So have patience, my child, for with him he will bring your other half.” And in a blink of an eye she is gone. I let out a soft sigh and think about what she said. Why does she always speak in riddles? What did she mean by other half?

OOC: Hope this works; let me know if I should change anything, okay? By the way, Xadalyn looks lovely in that picture!

I'm just supposing that Earth time and Antarian time are different.

Alexander

It was six-fifteen in the evening. Mom would probably be calling us for dinner in about an hour or so. Until then, I was stuck with vacuuming the carpets. That was the problem with this house - the entire house was carpeted. Heck, even the bathroom was carpeted. So what if we needed warmth for winter? It was such a hassle to deal with, especially when it was my job to clean them every other Thursday.

Sometimes I wished I could have had the slightest of powers like my parents and sister. My life would have been so much easier without having to do things manually. Sure, that made me just like every other human. But it wouldn't hurt to be just like the rest of my family, either, now would it?

Of course, my mom was always on my side. Household chores, whatever Sarah and I were assigned to, were to be completed without the use of powers. Sarah always made a fuss about this but I wasn't complaining - fair was fair, after all.

I glanced out the window and saw the sky turning a dull gray. Once I was done, I unplugged the vacuum cleaner, put it away, and went up to my room. By then, the heavens were a curtain of black. I sat at my desk with an old, old book - The Godfather by Mario Puzo - propped open in front of me.

Michael Corleone stood on a long wooden dock in Palermo and watched the great ocean liner set sail for America, I read.

Then I imagined myself standing on the desert plains of Roswell, New Mexico, staring at my parents and Sarah as they left for Antar on some big spaceship, leaving me behind. I was, after all, the black sheep of the family - quite useless.

From my window, I saw, faintly, five lights shining at a distance, forming an unmistakable 'V'. One of those planets was my father's home, on which he was once the king.

Now he was a man- a husband and a father. But all the same, his role as leader never left him.

But I, as his son, was nothing more than an average teenage boy. Why, though? Why wasn't I like him, strong and powerful? Next to Max Evans, I was nothing; no ethereal powers, no leadership qualities - zero.

[shadows]

-Kyria -

I had came through a worm hole weeks ago to Earth, and now I was pretty sure I had found the King Maxwell.... and his family?!?!?

I had been observing them for the past couple of days. They were nothing but an ordinary family here on Earth. The mom, the dad, the brother, and the sister. How could someone so powerful as the King of Antar be living this life? I could not comprehend it, to me it made no sense.

I watched as the prince did chores!?!?! As so did the rest of them. Do they not know they could have people to do all those things and much more for them?!?! I moved in closer to the house and watched the prince.... he always seemed so distant, so lonely....

I laughed, on his true planet he would be flocked by females. But, this family was far from royal. The were a happy, loving family.

[Dreamer_Dreaming]

~*~Sarah~*~

I'm in my living room watch my brother vaccum. He always so lonely and distant. But I know my brother. He wishes he can have powers that the rest of the family has. He doesnt know how lucky he is. I would give anything to be normal, to not have powers. I never ask to be a freak, I never ask to have these curse that I always feel.

I pick up the rest of the magazines around the house and put them in one pile. I put them under the coffee table where they normal go. I like helping my mother, but I hate doing these stupid chore. There worthless, the house always super clean you never can see one speck of dirt on the carpet.

Sometimes I wonder what life would be if daddy and mama lived on daddy's home planet. would they acept us? Would they accept Xan because he has no super natural powers? I love my brother were very close.

I grabbed a bottle of cleaner to clean the table. I wipe the table and put the cleaner away. I go back in the living room."I'm done Xan, is there anyting else we should do?"

I hope mama doesnt think of something else to clean up. My hands are starting to smell like this cleaner stuff. God bored from cleaning I need to go hang with my friends. I might they are having a lot more fun at the football game right now. Mama doesnt want me going. Dinner start ina hour and all she wants us to do have a family dinner.

We always have family dinner all night. what one family dinner I miss will hurt? I go to my room and blast my stero. I love rock music. I could listen to Switchfoot all done. I turn the volum even higher all 36. it seem like there party in here. But I like it.

I sit on my bed and start studying. Yup thats good old me.I study with music on. I sometimes wonder how I even get good grades? I guess I'm just lucky.

I feel like some knocking my my door hard. I roll my eyes and ignore it. I don't care if Xan cant read his books before of his silly books. I like my music. He has learn to deal with it. "I'm not turning down Xan." I yelled at the door if he can heard me. If he can't his lost not mine.

I can change the guy if he's too old-looking


Justin Valenti
His mother died when she was giving birth to him, so Justin grew up without his mother. His mother's last wish was to name him Justin and that's the reason he keeps hating every nickname given to him. Though he may seem like a rebel and easy getting mad-type, he's really a kind-hearted and carefull - just like his mother was.


Hope it's okay. Let me know if something needs to be added/Changed.

When I had finally managed to turn my attention back to The Godfather, my sister's stereo began blasting away from the room next door. I couldn't concentrate. Hey, I loved Sarah, I really did. But sometimes, trading her in for a Rottweiler seemed much more appealing.

Snapping my book shut, I walked out of my bedroom and stood in front of hers, knocking on her door. When she did not respond in any way, I knocked again, harder this time.

"I'm not turning it down, Xan," she called.

There were times - many of them - when I wished I had the superhuman power to knock down her door or something, and this was one of those times. "Hey Sarah!" I yelled. "Some of us want peace around here. Do us all a favour, will you? Why don't you just say bye-bye to Switchfoot, switch your stereo off, then go to that dumb football game like a nice little girl, eh?"

Getting Sarah to listen to you was like teaching a catfish to tango. I decided I'd just go watch some TV downstairs, if I could even hear over all the noise.

I was halfway down the staircase when the front door opened. Dad was home.

[isabelle]

OOC - Great posts, everyone. Especially Zan and Xadalyn. This is gonna be fun!
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

*Max*

Home.

So nice to be here after a day at the lawfirm. It's great being a lawyer and working with Dad, even if we don't actually spend all that much time together in the course of a day. Still, I have to admit, Isabel was right. Things are a lot better in the last 16 years since Mom and Dad found out the truth about me and Isabel. Of course, a lot of that is because Liz and I are together, too.

I have everything I ever wanted. Liz is my wife, I have two wonderful kids, a beautiful home, a good job, and most importantly -- we're safe. There hasn't been a hint of trouble from the FBI or Antar since Tess died. Sure, we've had tough times, especially after Sarah was born. We really weren't ready for two kids, but now? Now, I think my life is just about perfect.

Coming up the walk, I spot the familar five stars in the sky that mark the worlds that once were my home. The shape matches the mark still embedded in my brain -- the royal seal of Antar. I imagine that Khivar or his heirs are still out there ruling Antar on the throne he stole when he assassinated me. But that was a lifetime ago. There's no way to get there, even if I wanted to, which I don't. It has nothing to do with me, now.

I open the door and put my briefcase down on the hall table. I can hear the music blaring from Sarah's bedroom upstairs. Looking up, I see my son coming down the stairs. Hard to believe he's almost 17 years old.

"Hello Zan," I smile at him. "How's everything?"

[Athenea]

~Xadalyn~

Have you ever looked into the face of pure evil? I have….Khivar Vannian, the traitor of the Royal House of Arrois. Our families had feuded for years; the Vannian’s thought they had the right to rule Antar, even though they had no legitimate claim to the throne. And then came the story of Khivar Vannian and Vilondra Arrois. Vilondra was the most beautiful woman in the kingdom. It was said that she was a vision of the Goddess herself. So Khivar was immediately infatuated with her, not only that she was King Xanakin’s sister. It is said that she fell in love with Khivar and Khivar talked her into letting him and his men into the castle where they could talk peace. Well the whole kingdom knows how that turned out.

So here I am standing in front of the man who tried to destroy my heritage. Even though Khivar is over 400 years old he is still as handsome as he ever was. See, on Antar when a person reaches the age of 21 they stop aging, the only sign that a person is old is by how white there hair becomes. Of course the Oracle is the only person I know of that has all white hair and that’s why nobody knows her age. I can see why Vilondra was attracted to him. His hair and skin is dark and his eyes are violet. And he has an air of confidence about him. Most females would love to simply stand in his presence. I, however feel nothing but disgust for this person who slaughtered my family.

I step closer to his prison cell, but not too close, to see what he wants. I received a message from him that he had something of importance to tell me about my father and I was too curious to ignore it. Plus I had never actually seen Khivar, by the time I had got to the palace he was locked securely in the dungeon.

“Ah, well what a little beauty you turned out to be. You have Vilondra’s grace about you, her confidence. Perhaps I should have took Avalyn up on her deal after all.” He says with a cocky smile and I tense at the mention of my mother’s name.

He looks me up and down and licks his lips, probably as a way to intimidate me. Of course it doesn’t work; I am way to smart to show that he is getting to me. So I finally ask him. “What deal would that be? Probably one that you conducted out of your own lunacy. Is being down here in this dark, dank cell starting to affect your mind?”

He stops smiling then and looks at me. “You know your father underestimated me too and look how that turned out for him. Of course he died at my hand and then was reborn as a half human freak but I still killed him once.” he sneers. I really don’t have time for this so I turn around and start to leave but I stop when he begins speaking again.

“You know your father didn’t even want you? That’s why Avalyn came to Antar in the first place. Xan, oh he goes by Max now. He wanted you dead before you were even born. And do you know why? He was in love with a human, that’s right; he had rather stayed on earth with his human whore than come back to Antar with his wife and child.”

“So Avalyn came to me. I made a deal with her shapeshifter years before. She’d bring back the heir of Arrois and I would have legitimate reign over Antar. Of course she thought you were a boy for some reason, now if I’d known you would have been a girl I wouldn’t have backed out of the deal. I would have waited till you came to age and I would have wedded you and bedded you, producing and heir myself.”

His words make me feel sick to my stomach. My mother would have never made a deal with the enemy, would she? And my father…I can’t think about that right now. “You lie.” Is all I say to him as I leave him laughing in his jail cell.

I walk back up to my quarters with my body guards trailing behind me. Was this true? Was my Father now living happily with a human on earth? Every word Khivar says to me comes back. My Father didn’t even want me and my Mother was going to take a deal from a traitor. What does this make you Xada? It makes you a unwanted daughter of a traitor, that’s what it makes you.

I realize that my parents weren’t the same people that I read about in Antar’s history books. King Xanakin and Queen Avalyn were killed by Khivar and then were reborn on earth as half human. If genetics hadn’t worked out as well as they did I could have ended up being human. Thank the Goddess I am full blooded Antarian or I wouldn’t even have a right to the throne.

Something the Oracle said earlier comes back to me. “He will see the similarities between you and your mother and this is might make him scared and angry at first, but then he will see how innocent and fragile you truly are.” He’s going to hate me because I will remind him of his traitor wife. The pieces to this puzzle that is my life are slowly staring to put themselves together.
