“What are we up against?” the young man asks and this is the first time I’ve really noticed him and I look at Kyria. “Twins? Like the prophecy says.” I ask her and she motions for me to keep my mouth shut so I change the subject. “Khivar doesn’t have too many soldiers left, maybe thirty at most, but they shut the gates so our people can’t get onto the palace grounds.”
“Kyria take them and go open the gate.” I then look at Max. “Since I’m guessing you have a shield do you want to come with me to get Xada?”
I’m not really sure how to act around these people. I don’t want to bark out orders because I’m not really sure where they stand in the scheme of things. I mean there technically royalty but then again there technically not. It’s too confusing. I hear something to my right and I immediately go check it out. I grab somebody that was hiding behind some equipment. "What Kyria did you bring the whole population of Earth back with you?" I say sarcastically
We hear another painful scream coming from the courtyard. "I'm going in." I say and take off in that direction. We don't have time for this. Khivar is killing her.

I heard some noises while I was still hiding, so I decided to peek. I saw no other than Mr. Evans there. I stared. Now what were they doing there? I leaned a little closer to hear what they were saying - maybe that way I could've found out what was happening here and who was screaming. Accidently I stepped on something and the sound reached someone. A guy came to where I was and grabbed me - just like that.
"What Kyria did you bring the whole population of Earth back with you?" he asked.
I looked at the guy and then at the others there. I was going to say something, but then someone screamed again.
"I'm going in." the guy says and stars walking away. I was now more confused than I had been at the start.
"What's going on here.. wherever this is..? And why are you..?" I asked - well almost asked.

I fall to the ground as Khivar finally lets me go. It then that I feel a strange yet familiar presence and for some reason it gives me hope. Maybe I will live through this after all. I stand up and wipe the blood and tears as best I can from my face. “I’m not as alone as you think I am Khivar.” I say
“I’ve had enough!” he screams and takes my arm and leads me back into the castle and up the stairs and I know where he’s heading….the royal suite…my bedroom. He throws me roughly on the bed and I immediately but my shield back up though its stronger than it was it’s draining me and I know I won’t be able hold it for long. Khivar puts his hand in front of my shield using this power to try and bring my shield down.
I shut my eyes and connect with the familiar presence again this time it isn’t hard, they must be closer. I show them exactly where I’m at and how to get there I also keep whispering. “Hurry...I can’t hold it…I can’t hold it…I can’t hold it……”

OCC - ... Question. Are we bothering to explain how the Earth people, (besides Max) understand the language when they're on Antar?
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
*Max*
My daughter's in trouble. This one never gave his name but he seems to know where she is. I can tell time is short and when he heads towards the castle, I sprint after him.
I don't get more than six steps and I see Justin coming out from behind a low wall. "Justin?" I ask as Xada's friend grabs him.
Justin is understandably confused. "I don't know how you got here but this is dangerous," I tell him. My mind whirls. I can't have him with me, not when we're heading for Khivar. Sarah can protect him. She also has a shield and maybe, if she's protecting Justin, she'll stay out of trouble, too. "Go to Sarah. Stay close to her," I tell him and I run after the Antarian guard.
I catch up as he's approaching the palace. "There was a secret entrance at the south end. Khivar's forces used it to get in and kill us," I suggest. Probably it's closed up, but maybe this man knows of another one...

Alexander
He mentioned something about a prophecy.
A prophecy. I could not be part of a prophecy. Please, I was still the boring and powerless Alexander Evans. Prophecy, my foot.
Then he went on, “Khivar doesn’t have too many soldiers left, maybe thirty at most, but they shut the gates so our people can’t get onto the palace grounds.”
Thirty at most? Thirty was a big number. We were, like, seven. Where were my sister's guards or soldiers or warriors or knights or . . . whatever.
“Kyria, take them and go open the gate," he told Kyria. And then he asked Dad, “Since I’m guessing you have a shield, do you want to come with me to get Xada?”
For God's sake, he had to leave me out again. I wanted to get Xada, I wanted to do something. Was it just so obvious that I was inferior, incompetent?
And then, out of nowhere, the man grabbed someone out from behind a bunch of equipment. One of Khivar's men, maybe?
I gaped at the familiar face. That was certainly not one of Khivar's men. "Justin?" I asked, bewildered. He was a friend of mine, like a kid brother, really, and also the son of my parents' friend, Kyle Valenti.
There was another loud cry. I almost felt the pain. Was it a twin's intuition that I could sense that she was frantic?
"I'm going in," said the man, turning and walking in the direction of the scream. Dad was with him.
I wanted to go with them. I came here to help Xadalyn. Call me a broken record if you will.
But poor Justin still seemed genuinely stunned. "What's going on here . . . wherever this is . . .? And why are you . . .?"
"We are the ones who should be asking you that question, Justin," I said, darting looks after the man, trying to memorise the path he was taking. Whether he liked it or not, whether it was my father's will or not, it was my choice. And yet, what could I do? Did I really have more in me than I thought I had? I was shocked to see Justin, of all people, here on Antar, but the scream had really done it. Distractedly, I asked him, "What the hell are you doing here? How did you get here?"

I looked after Mr.Evans as he went after the man who found me. Go to Sarah. I looked around. There they were. Sarah and Xan. I looked at them. Now or never i was confused. Xan came to where I was, confused like his father had been, answering my question too.
"We are the ones who should be asking you that question, Justin," Xan said to me.
I opened my mouth to answer him but I didn't find the right words. I wasn't sure what to say to him. 'I came here by an accident..' would sound stupid. But it was true. I was going to answer but Xan interrupted me.
"What the hell are you doing here? How did you get here?" he asked.
"I-I came here accidently. I followed this girl who survived when she got hit by a car...you, you shouldn't survive when a car hits you. So I followed her and then I saw this movie kind of thing and peeked in and.."
I paused for a while and blushed a little.
"It was an accident. And Mr.Evans told me to star near Sarah.." I finally said.

"I - I came here accidentally. I followed this girl who survived when she got hit by a car . . . you, you shouldn't survive when a car hits you. So I followed her and then I saw this movie kind of thing and peeked in and . . ."
A girl who survived getting hit by a car? I wondered . . . who could it have been? A movie kind of thing? That had to be a wormhole. Oh boy, Justin got himself into some huge trouble this time.
"It was an accident. And Mr. Evans told me to stay near Sarah . . ."
I was brought back to the current problem. I nodded and said, almost to myself, "Yes, he told you to stay near Sarah. He didn't tell me to. Go, Justin, quickly."
Justin looked hesitant, his eyes wide.
"Look, it's going to work out fine, okay?" I said, trying to reassure him but not having the patience to. "Just go, Justin. Now!"
I looked back at my mother and shot her an apologetic look before turning and running after my father. As I jogged up to them, I heard him say, "There was a secret entrance at the south end. Khivar's forces used it to get in and kill us."
How did he know? From a memory, perhaps, of his past life?
I joined him casually and said calmly, "Don't tell me to stay back again. It won't work." I shrugged. "Besides, I may not have powers but you will find some use for me."
I just hoped he didn't think he was going to have to babysit me. I also prayed that karate fists worked on Antar, though against God-knows-what powers.

"Yes, he told you to stay near Sarah. He didn't tell me to. Go, Justin, quickly" Xan tells me.
I wasn't sure if I should've gone. Xan was going to go somewhere dangerous and then it'd be half my fault for letting him go and saving myself. Or would it? I mean, I was in a different place and i was kind of scared of it all.
"Look, it's going to work out fine, okay? Just go, Justin. Now!" Xan told me, raising his voice a little. I nodded when he was looking away and then he..left. Just like that. I looked after him for a while, before I remembered that I needed to go over to Sarah.
Why did I have to go to Sarah? She was a girl, what could she do? I shrugged mentally and walked over to where she was with Mrs.Evans.
"Um..Mr.Evans and Xan told me to come here...and..if I need to explain why I'm here then I can tell you it was an accident.." I said to them both.

ooc: we will say that Kyria and Skyler can speak english, other than that Max, and Xan can speak Antarian. Liz and Sarah probally wouldn't be able to translate Antarian.
~Skyler~
I am soon joined by Max abd Xada's brother "There was a secret entrance at the south end. Khivar's forces used it to get in and kill us."
"Just follow me and stay close." I lead them through a maze of tunnels until we are finally in the palace. We run up the stairs and I take out the two guards that were in front of the door. I silently mouth one, two, three, to Max and Xan before crashing through the door to find....nobody but Xada sitting on the bed with her eyes closed tightly in consertaion, her legs crossed, rocking slightly back and forth with her green shield bubbled up around her.
No sign of Khivar as of yet. ""Xada? Are you ok?" she doesn't awnser she's using all thats left to hold the shield up. I reach out and touch the shield and am rewarded with a getting thrown back into the wall.
I get up and look at Max. "You'll have to get her shield down..I can't. We need to get her to a doctor. Her body usually heals itself but as you can see..." I say indicating her busted, swollen lip"...its not for some reason and that can't be good. I'll go search the suite see if I can find where the coward is hiding."

"Just follow me and stay close."
Dad and I followed the guy through tunnels and, at long last, ended up in the palace. It was grand, like something out of a movie. Then, he led us up the stairs and we came to a door. He took out the guards who stood there and mouthed 'one, two, three' to us. And then, he crashed through the door.
I followed him in and I felt something seize my heart. I could not tell whether it was good or bad, but it was there. And then I found the source.
I stared at my sister, wide-eyed. Her eyes were closed and she was sitting cross-legged and rocking slightly. Back and forth, back and forth. Even through the shield, I could make out her features. She was a beautiful creature, my twin. But at that moment, she looked so fragile.
God, this was my twin sister, the one whom I knew nothing of yesterday! I felt tears enter my eyes but I refused to cry. This was not our reunion, not yet, not until she was safely out of there.
"Xada, are you okay?" the Antarian asked her. When she didn't answer, he went closer and touched her shield-
-and was thrown back, only to hit the wall. Ouch, that must've hurt. "You'll have to get her shield down . . . I can't. We need to get her to a doctor. Her body usually heals itself but as you can see . . ." He pointed at her busted lip. Ouch, that had to hurt, too. Not to mention everything else she must have been experiencing internally.
". . . it's not for some reason and that can't be good. I'll go search the suite see if I can find where the coward is hiding."
The coward, that had to be Khivar. What had he done to my sister? What was wrong with her now? I looked at my father, waiting desparately for him to take down the shield because now that Xadalyn and I were so close to each other, I was beginning to feel . . . odd. Was it a bond we shared? Or was it a fragment of my imagination, something I thought I had to feel?
Xadalyn seemed to be growing weaker by the second. "Dad, come on . . . do something . . ."
