Equinox- Chapter 2

Serena woke up with a start again, however but she not so much as to awaken her mother. Looking around she slowly got out of bed tip toeing to the door. Waving her hand in front of the sensor to wake up the program to scan her hand print to let her out. Security was tight here, even though there was nobody else outside the faeries and her that lived her. Sneaking out she turned and ran down the hall way to the library room. At least thats what she called it, really it was just a giant computer where anything you could ever know you can look it up. Allowing the scanner to copy her hand and unlock the computer, she slid on her glasses. Glasses were something new for her, they helped her see better. Back in Tarigot they only had spectacles that didn't work very well in the first place, plus they weren't very pleasing to everyone elses sight. She looked up to the bright screen popping up. A keyboard slid out, containing buttons of a totally different language. Serena had mastered this language quickly, however she was still figuring out how to write and read in it. She typed in "dreams" into the computers data base, trying to see if she could find anything on dreams. Being basically a super computer, 500,307 suggestions popped up. The database was called Goggle, what a strange name Serena thought at first. To many suggestions she thought, then she quickly tried a different search database, Bong. Only 300 suggestions showed up. Ah, much better, she thought smiling. Looking on for nearly 2 hours she read about dreams, and what else they could mean. But nothing new about her dreams, and what they could mean. Her eyes were beginning to hurt, as she closed her eyes for a moment, but was suddenly awake once again when she sensed another figure present in the room.





"Did you have the dream again?" Her mother asked coming through the door.




"We reall need to put a siren or something in to warn me when you are coming out of know where." Serena said looking behind her, her eyes blood shot. Her mother smiled as warmly as her dark face could look.
"How did you find me in here?" Serena continued on exasperated.





"It wasn't that hard to find you, being an alien and all." She started. "And we also have cameras in ever room in this place." She finished smiling.




"Dang it. I forgot about those." She said grumbling, closing off all her database search.





"When are you going to tell me your dream?"




"Do you really want to know?" She asked sighing. Her mother nodded, looking straight into her eyes.




"It was about my kingdom being destroyed by a force of some sort. And there was nothing I could do about it." She said looking to the ground, studying it intensly. "Whatever was destroying it was taking my friends and hurting them, they struggled. But they were to weak to do anything about it all." Her mother's usually calm slanted red eye's became big. She gasped.




"What is it?" Serena said surprised.




"That force- it was.. it is.." She stammered.




"What is it? WHAT IS IT? There's something your not telling me!" Serena said standing up from the stool she was sitting on. Jumping up so fast her stool fell over.




"That force is another race."




"What..?"





"Another alien race. Did you think there was just us? We had enemies you know! That was actually our mission in the first place. To go out and explore other galaxies to find another safe place to live away from them. I guess they have found us and are now taking it out on Tarigot."




"WHAT! We hafta do something! What if they have already attacked and tortured my friends." She said getting up running back and forth not knowing what to do.




"No, they haven't arrived yet. We would have noticed there presence."




"Do you know how long we have?"




"No, but I know we don't have long. You need to go back to oceanus to warn everyone. We must get them out of here. We must get everyone in Tarigot out of here." Her mothers said, her eye's lighting up intensly."I'll go warn the militia." She said running out of the room. Serena crumpled down onto the smooth metal floor, leaning against the walls. How could this happen? Everything was fine until the stones disappeared. Why did they disappear anyway? That question had still been un-answered these many long months. Taking off her new glasses she runned her eyes. This can't be happening, what has Tarigot ever done to this other race? Was it only because my alien race was enemies? Or is there something more behind it all? She slowly got up, looking up she slid her glasses up, allowing the scanner to scan her hand, allowing her to leave the library room. She slugged to her chambers slowly, allowing all that had recently happened to sink in. Once she entered her chambers she started packing her things. She didn't know what she was going to do, much less what was going to happen. But she started packing anyways. I wish there was someway to contact Anneliese, Eric, and Bard somehow. Somehow to warn them of the deep trouble they were going to be in.

"Why must we leave at such an early hour? It's not like we are in a hurry or anything, just going to ask advice from so silly ole' dragons." Darith complained rubbing his eyes.




"WYRMS!" Anneliese, Eric, and Bard said in unison. They were already tired of Darith's tiresome chatter, and it had only been half an hour.





"Oh for cyring out loud, do you ever SHUT UP?" Bard said rudely rolling his eyes, when Darith gasped shocked that he was spoken to like a low life peasent.




"I'm insulted! If you were a servant on my manor and I was spoken to like that he would be fired immediately." He sniffed continued on to the head of the group.





"Geez- why can't we just let him take over the kingdom while we are gone instead of bringing him along? When we bring Serena back she'll just kick his butt and he'll whine and leave." Bard said.




"Sorry, as much as i wished that we could- we can't" Anneliese said, who had most recently considered the thought herself earlier. After they endured a couple more hours of quibbling between Darith and Bard, they stopped in the middle of a large field that was hours away from anywhere. Nobody could seen anything but plants and the occasional squirrel for miles around.




"Why are stopping here? There's nothing here!" Darith said starting out on one of his temper tantrums.





"Hold it!" Anneliese said, who was digging through her bag. "Ah here it is." She said smiling. Jumping of the horse, she was holding a wyrms scale.




"Wait what are you doing with that?" Darith said who also jumped off his horse.




"Stand back!" Anneliese said as she placed the scale on the ground and poured wine over the scale. "We need your advice!" She shouted towards the stone. The group laid back and waited. Soon they set up and small camp leaving the scale where she had set it orginally. Darith questioned everyone, wanting to know what was happening, but no one said anything. They wanted it to be a surprise.
