(David:)

"You're an alien as well?" David asked John. No. Not John. Theron. Another lie told to me.

He replied to my comment. "Yes. But I'm not just an alien or just a simple guard. I'm one of elites. I'm one of the Royal guards. Any task the Queen want me or any of the Royal guards done, we'll follow orders without hesitation."

He stopped for a second. Then he continued.

"Also, the Royal guards serve the queen and any royalty related to Royal blood line." He walked up and and took a knee. "Which includes you, my prince. I'll follow any order you wish."

David can't believe what he's hearing.

"There's another reason. I been chosen from the Royal guard because of my ability. I can take the form any being to blend in with the surroundings. I can turn into an animal. Another human or into a large creature."

He takes the form of John again.

"I took this form to be your friend. Risa and I knew that you would be picked on or bullied for being different. To keep an closer eye on you, I took the form and name of John."

He looked at Lucy.

"And Lucy. Even though I'm not human, I am your friend. Would you you treat me a little different now you know the truth?"

She lowered her eyes. She then raised them. A smile appeared on her face.

"Nothing is different Theron. True I'm hurt that I didn't know the truth, that still doesn't change a thing. You and David are true friends. Besides, I wondered why you hanged out with him. Everyone wondered why someone like you would hang out with David. You 2 were different. But now I know. Still, nothing has change even though he's an alien prince and you're a elite alien warrior."

He smiled back as he turns back into his alien form. David couldn't believe it at all. His height is the same, but his appearance is very different.

His scaly skin tone is scarlet red mixed in with muddy brown. He wore some very interesting and intriguing armor, with designs on it that David can't even describe. The armor's color is black, like charcoal black. His gauntlets were very cool and very deadly. They are black as well. The rivulets are sharp 2 centimeter long spikes. On the back of the gauntlets is what makes them deadly looking. Folded back on the gauntlets were 4 foot long knifelike blades with indentions like holes at the end behind the blades. He realized that when the blade are drawn over the hand when needed. They flip over and hook themselves onto the the centimeter spikes, locking into place. His grieves are also black, covering his legs and feet. Like Risa, he has a long tail as well. His, however, is different. At the end of his tail, a giant ball 1 foot in diameter and covered in thorns, hung onto his tail. David wondered how he can even move tail, much less swing it at enemies. And lastly, his sword. His sword looks like a Katana, much longer and larger. And the blade glowed, a hue of black stayed on the blade. He wondered about that, but his attention was brought back to Theron when he put his gauntlet hand on David's shoulder.

"I know that this a lot to take in. But remember this. Even though I look different and you may treat me different, I'll always be your friend." He said with a smile.

David looked at Theron. A smile appeared on his face. He believed him. He believed everyone. He knew he felt different, that he was different. And he was right. But he was stilled shocked by today's events. Risa noticed his facial expression, because she spoke.

"Alright everyone. Let's give David some time to think about all of this. This is a big thing for him."

Michael nods. "You're right Risa. Let's give David a break. Risa, you think you can show David his new room?"

She just laughed. "I'd love too."

She took his hand. "Follow me."

She took David and they left the room.

(Michael:)

Moments after they left, Michael looked at Jason, noticing his leg.

"Agent Jason, go to the med bay and get that leg looked at."

"Yes sir." He replied as limped out of room, heading towards the med bay.

Only ones left in the room are Michael Theron and Lucy. Lucy looked out the door. Michael noticed this. Theron did as well, cause he walked over her and put his gauntlet hand on her shoulder.

"Don't worry about him, Lucy." Theron said. "He'll be fine. He just needs time."

Michael nods. "Indeed. Just give him time to think about all of this. He'll need to, for there's more in store for him. More indeed."

Then he leaves the room.

(David:)

Risa lead him up 3 stairs and down a hallway. And the end of the hallway, on the right was a door.

"This is your room."

She opens the door and walks in. He follows in after her. The room was decent. A nice bed. It also had a decent size couch. There is a large table in a corner. The tv had a play station connected to it as well as a dish receiver, although he wondered how they can get a connection from all the way down here. There's also a large refrigerator, stocked full with food. There's also a stove and a microwave as well. Several cabinets on align over the stove. All in all, not a bad place to live.

He sat on the bed. Risa looked at him. Studied him. She turned and walked towards the door. She stopped at the entrance.

"I'll be back in a few. Just take take your time and think about what you learned today." She said with a sweet voice. Then she left the room and closed the door.

He pulled his knees up and wrap his arms around his legs. So much has happened today. His whole world was turned over on his side. He knew he was different. He knew that he didn't belong here on anywhere. He knew it too well. But to have his thoughts and suspicions confirmed this way, it was certainly a lot to take in.

"An alien prince." He thought. "My mother is the queen of an alien race. And she brought me here for my safety. Why? Why did she do it? Why did she leave me here?"

Then he realized that Jason wasn't his father, that his real father was the King of the Dragonids and he was killed before he was even born. He had no one. No mother. No father. No one. He then dug his head into his legs, crying. But he heard a voice. He looked up and tried to find where they were coming from. There was no one. Nothing. Then he realized that the voice as coming from within him.

"Don't fret over the past. Your mother brought you here for your own safety. She never wanted to do that. But she did it for you. She loved you. And your friends care about you. Theron watched over you as a protector and became a close friend. Lucy also cared for you as well. You and Theron saved her from this girls all those years ago. She looks up to you. You're not alone. There are those who care for you. Remember that."

David could believe that he's now hearing voices But the voice was right. He had friends, people that care about him. He was alone. He took a deep breath. And it came out as a sigh. He found acceptance.

"Thank you, voice in my head." He said

"You are ready."

"What do you mean by that?"

Then he felt it. A surge of energy. Rising and rising, ever higher and higher. It caused him to stand and go on his tippy toes. His head went up in the air. The energy surge got even higher. Then it stopped. A second later, He was consumed by a large red-orange light.

(Rise:)

Risa was walking back to David's room to check up on him. Her mind went on wondering.

"Hopefully, he'll feel better. That was a lot to take in. But I don't know yet."

As she got closer, she got pushed back and was sent back down the hallway by a large force. The energy was orange.

"What's happening?" She yelled. Then she sees the orange light coming David's room. The alarms begin sounding. But her focus was on the orange glow.

"David!!!" She yelled as she charged down the hallway towards the room. In moments, she charged into the room.

"David!" She said.

Then she saw it. Her eyes were wide. David is nowhere and the room is literally destroyed. Standing in the center of the room was a very large orb. An orb made entirely of flames. She couldn't believe it. Her facial expression is mixed with awe and seriousness.

"And so it begins." She said. "And so it begins."

What is that voice? What's happening to David? You'll find out soon. Don't forget to vote or comment.
