       Rayya Zavran's Introduction to Pre-Ch. 2
       By: Rayya Zavran Date: March 25, 2012, 4:28 pm
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       A girl walked to her Father in a brisk manner, her long robe and
       cape fluttered in the wind. Her father is standing out in the
       balcony, and the sun greeting the land he is gazing upon with
       its warm embrace. Looking down at the city below, one could see
       the buildings with intricate designs. All the denizens are
       roaming the streets and children playing. The girl leaned
       against the railing of the balcony with her Father. Her Father
       donned a crown that bent towards the back of his head.
       "Evening, Rayya," he said quietly in a language completely
       unknown to us.
       "Evening, Father," the girl replies, peering up at the sky. One
       could see a crescent shaped set of islands in the sky. Her
       teachers told her that was the Xenia continent, home of the
       Gods.
       "How are you studies goi-"
       "Father, I have a question," she interrupted. Her Father sighed.
       "Yes?"
       "Why don't we live on the land below?"
       "We live up here because we are the J’nour; we are different
       from the humans below. They aren't ready to accept us." Her
       Father's eyes had a bright glint from the sunlight. However, he
       seemed sad.
       "Listen, Rayya. There will be a time you will have to lead us
       forward, become a Vanguard. Lead the J'nour to new heights in
       accomplishment and diplomacy. I have come to understand you are
       secretly training with a Solara."
       "Four, Father." Solari are blades that manipulate crystals to
       create light. The light is impenetrable and nearly have no
       drawbacks. There are many types of Solari, double-bladed, single
       blade and even quad or tri-bladed. J'nour use their telekinetic
       ability to wield many Solari with ease.
       Her Father raised an eyebrow, "You used four Solari? That's a
       unique feat. Most of our warriors can only use 3 through
       extensive training of the mind."
       "Well, they are training Solari. Not as useful as a real one."
       "I have also heard you spared with one of our best, and bested
       him."
       The girl didn't say anything. It was prohibited to undergo
       Solara training at such a young age.
       "Here." Her Father waved his hand outward, a Solara on the table
       floated over to him, into his hand, showcasing his telekinetic
       ability. "This is my Royal Solara. Take it."
       Rayya placed the Solara on her belt.
       "There is something important I must tell you, but you must wait
       until it comes to you."
       There was a loud crash on the far side of the city. Rayya and
       her Father peered to see smoke rising from the area.
       "Damn!" Her Father rushed out the room. Rayya looked up at the
       sky to see comets flying down onto the city. The point of origin
       was Xenia. Rayya noticed one coming straight for her building.
       Angled for the building she is in. She turned and ran towards
       the door.
       Her Father stepped out the palace doors. Just in time to see a
       "comet" hit where Rayya was. "Rayya!" The building tipped over,
       falling backwards with much debris.
       Rayya skidded on the floor towards the ground level. She
       eventually was in mid-air for a good four seconds. She crashed
       into the floor. Her vision gave out.
       Her vision came in and out in a blurry haze. She saw a pod being
       kicked opened, and only the bottom half a man come out do to the
       way she was on the ground. Vision went out, and when it came
       back the man was walking to her, dragging a massive sword on the
       ground.
       "High... lander?" Rayya whispered. Her vision continued to go in
       and out. The man was now over her, she lazily moved her head to
       look up at him.
       "Princess! Help her!" She closed her eyes and opened them again
       to see a man punch the Highlander in the face, making him step
       backwards from Rayya, out of view. Her vision still blurry, a
       warrior knelled next her saying, "Princess, are you okay,"
       repeatedly. The civilian that punched the highlander wan kicked
       into the wall. His Solara skidded over to the wall near her. A
       warrior called his ally and with a "Shkeeeew", his Solara came
       to life. They both charged at the Highlander. Despite having
       such a large weapon, the Highlander was dancing around them.
       "Rayya, it's me," She looked up to see her Father picking her up
       off the ground. He hurriedly walked to the door. Rayya was
       watching behind them. The Highlander sidestepped, slamming his
       massive weapon into one of the warriors. The other warrior
       slashed at his back, making blood gush out quickly. The
       Highlander kicked the first warrior away, and slammed his weapon
       into the second one, sliding him on the ground only to lift him
       back up with it, flinging him into the wall. The first warrior
       noticed Rayya watching, knowing he wasn't going to make it; he
       smiled at her, raising his hand towards the doorway they just
       walked out from, causing it to cave in, and covering their
       tracks. The last thing she saw was that man that was trying to
       save her being grabbed by the throat, held off the ground.
       Rayya passed out again.
       Her father ran out the palace once again. "I'm sorry," He says
       to the unconscious Rayya.
       "UGRRAAAAHH." The same Highlander from before jumped through the
       roof, falling towards them. With an impact similar to that of a
       meteor hitting the earth, the shock-wave knocked Rayya from his
       hands, causing them both to fly through the air. Her Father
       stood up, jumping in front of Rayya.
       "You will not take her from me."
       "The Ascendant God wants her and you dead," he pointed at him.
       "Try me!" Her Father's eyes turned bright blue, with a mist
       coming from them. He levitated the 3 of the blades on his belt
       and held the other two in his hands.
       Rayya woke up to see her Father with many cuts as well as the
       Highlander in the same condition. The Highlander planted his
       foot on his chest, crushing his lungs. The highlander raised his
       foot for a curb stomp. Rayya cast her arm out, creating an
       invisible rectangular plate. When he stomped downward, his foot
       came to an abrupt halt.
       "Huh?"
       Rayya flung her hand upward and the Highlander lost his balance,
       stepping backwards. Rayya scurried to her father, blood seeping
       from his mouth.
       "Rayya, run! The refugees are waiting for you on the far side of
       this opening. They know what to do."
       Rayya stared in disbelief. She striven for her Father's
       acceptance. Even at a young age, children want to be noticed.
       "I never truly told you have I; that I love you. You are my
       strongest warrior and intelligent daughter. Live on to tell this
       tale to someone who will listen. Don't let us die. Be the
       Vanguard I told you about."
       "Father..." Rayya’s eyes filled with tears up. She gripped his
       shirt, her lip quivering. She couldn't fathom how much this
       meant to her. Her body was reacting in such ways.
       "Don't leave me!" Her father being the only family she has, her
       childhood was falling apart.
       Her father closed his eyes, head falling to the side. Rayya
       hugged him, even though he wouldn't feel her embrace.
       The Highlander walked up, kicking Rayya out of the way. "Enough.
       You are coming with me."
       Rayya stood up, eliminating and doubt she may have had, anything
       preventing her from doing what she is about to do. She could
       feel a segment of her mind unlocking, Combat Proficiency. She
       pulled out the Solara her father had gotten for her. *Shkeeew*
       The blade was pure white, a rare blade among the J'nour.
       "Awh, you too? Grow up, kid."
       Rayya outstretched her arm; the Solari around her father flew up
       to her. She grabbed one, and two levitated around her. She
       activated them and charges the man with unseen speed. The
       Highlander raised an eyebrow.
       He swiped his massive sword downward, while running Rayya
       planted her foot on the side of it, using it as a brace for her
       momentum; she twirled in the air, kicking him in the face. He
       skidded backwards.
       "Not bad-" She continued her relentless assault. Once again
       kicking him in the face. The Highlander roared, knocking her
       away. His eyes were purple. "You are seriously ****ing me off
       kid."
       They both charged at each other, Rayya deflecting his blows with
       the multiple Solari around her, and the Highlander having great
       agility. Rayya swung her arms around her, the Solari moved close
       to her. She then spun, sending the Highlander away as the Solari
       spun outward with such a great velocity.
       The Highlander once again sized her up, coming face to face
       again. Rayya leaps over him, when he comes close, spinning, and
       waving her arms downward. Slicing his back multiple times with
       all the weapons she is using. He falls to one knee. He grabs a
       handle on his weapon and literally pulls it off; a short blade
       was hidden on it. He threw it at Rayya while in mid air, she
       created a rectangle like before under her feet, and jumped. The
       blade pierced her leg. She landed awkwardly. The quick loss of
       blood is making her lose access to key functions of her brain.
       All but the black Solara buzzed out. She stood only to have the
       Highlander pick her up, and slam her on the ground. She saw his
       foot come to her face, knocking her out.
       ----------------------------------------------------------------
       -
       Rayya heard voices, but it sounded echo-like. She couldn't
       pinpoint where she was. When she opened her eyes, only darkness
       greeted her.
       "We must do as her Father asked! Get the Memory Shard and the
       Matrix Cube. Put them both in there."
       "Yes, Sir!"
       A lid slid down where her head was, showing her the outside
       world. She saw her city in ruins. Smoke and fire. A man peered
       into the capsule. "She is awake."
       A man ran up to it, peering in. "I'm sorry Princess, but you
       don't belong here. You are meant to live to fight another day."
       The man turned around nodding.
       The capsule became cold. Frost covered the visor. The Lid slid
       shut. Rayya's body wasn't responding.
       "Cryogenic... slumber!?" Rayya tried to fight it, but in the
       end, she fell into a deep sleep.
       ----------------------------------------------------------------

       Castle of Serdin, Bermesiah
       1,200 Years Later
       "So that's all you remember?" A man said.
       #Post#: 836--------------------------------------------------
       Re: Rayya Zavran's Introduction to Pre-Ch. 2
       By: Rayya Zavran Date: March 29, 2012, 8:02 am
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       A man was writing in his notepad, taking notes of everything
       Rayya has said. He was in an all white robe with a white turban.
       Rayya studied him carefully. She could feel that his mind wasn't
       pulsing like a J'nour.
       A J'nour has the ability to think logically about everything.
       They ALWAYS overthink things, but that is what makes them
       dangerous on the battlefield. Ensuring there is no way they can
       lose, they think about every single aspect that could cause
       their demise. Evidently, that wasn't enough against the
       Highlanders though.
       "Well, can you remember anything else?" The man said. Rayya just
       noticed he had a mustache that came off his face, swirling on
       the ends.
       Rayya stared at him. She wasn't looking forward to telling him
       everything on her mind.
       "Can't you speak? You were just talking fine."
       "I... Do not like speaking the langauge of the Humans." Rayya
       rolled her eyes, looking around the room. There was a balcony,
       similar to when she was a child. Humans are unorganized. There
       were books scattered all over the room, on tables, the floor,
       and on the railing of the balcony. The marble floor was the only
       interesting thing in the room. This was the... how did the human
       say it. Princess's Chambers. It was similar to the library of
       the J'nour, except for books they had Memory Crystals and Matrix
       Cubes.
       "Why do you not like our language?"
       "I can translate your primitive language to the langauge of the
       J'nour, but I can't seem to translate J'nour into your language
       as well."
       "I see. Let's continue. What happened after you were in
       cryo-slumber?"
       Rayya's eyes went half mast. She looked elsewhere in the room
       and began talking.
       ----------------------------------------------------------------
       ----------------------------------------------------------
       Rayya's Mind, Cryogenic Pod
       1,200 Years Prior to Interrogation
       Rayya wasn't aware of her body anymore. She was in the matrix of
       her mind. It seems, however, that her mind has locked itself
       down, prohibiting her from doing much in her mind. It was dark,
       cold, and empty. She looked around. Her mind seems to be a
       visual representation of the Void. Images flashed around her as
       she walked around the darkness. The Gods vs. their creation, the
       J'nour. She could see countless being slaughtered, Highlanders
       and J'nour alike.
       "I suspose since I will be here no later than 1,200 years, I
       will meditate and strengthen my mind a little. I lost the chance
       to develop my mind like an adult J'nour, but I was pretty
       close." Rayya sighed. She was an extraordinary child. She does
       have royal blood in her though, which is to be expected. She
       knelt down, closing her eyes. A man flashed infront of her. His
       body very much real.
       He donned a black robe, similar to the one she was supposed to
       wear as an adult, Royal Quartermaster Robes.
       "Rise, my child," his voice deep and intimidating. His demeanor,
       calm and relaxed. "you will sleep past the war, but that doesn't
       mean you will neglect your studies." He sat indian style infront
       of her, "Let us begin."
       ----------------------------------------------------------------
       -------------------------------------
       800 Years later...
       Due to Rayya's mind developing with the artificial teacher
       infront of her, her real body is reacting to it. She is now 25
       in J'nour standards, but about 15 in human standards. Her hair
       now flowed long. She stood before her downed opponent. The
       Quartermaster was no match for her. His body was broken is many
       places like the arm and leg. His body faded, then
       rematerialized.
       "I feel you could beat me if you and I actually fought now. Your
       hand-to-hand combat skills are impressive. Your training is
       almost complete. You must; however, learn one more thing from
       me." His attitude became suddenly blunt.
       "It doesn't matter if you master every weapon, if you can't
       decide who you will swing it for, who you will use your mind
       for, you forsake yourself. If you seek to aid everyone that
       suffers in the world, you will only weaken yourself… and
       weaken them."
       He sighed, "It is the internal struggles, when fought and won on
       their own, that yield the strongest rewards. You stole that
       struggle from them, cheapened it if you overcome their struggles
       for them. If you care for others, then dispense with pity and
       sacrifice and recognize the value in letting them fight their
       own battles. And when they triumph, they will be even stronger
       for the victory." He stared her down.
       "Thank you. I will consider it," Rayya nodded. This is a lesson
       she didn't want to learn. She enjoyed being neutral about
       everything.
       "I hope you do. now meditate. Your destiny is only just
       beginning." He faded from the area.
       Rayya closed her eyes, remembering her father, her mentors, her
       empire that is now crushed. She strengthened her resolve.
       "I will rebuild. I will make myself known." Rayya said as she
       sat indian style. She could feel someone nearby, similar to the
       Highlander she fought before. She tensed up, but the presence
       vanished.
       -----------------------------------------------------------
       200 Years Later...
       Rayya's artificial world turned to white. She glanced around.
       She heard many voices:
       "I think I got it to open!"
       "Move! Go get the foreman!"
       Rayya walked into the bright light, reanimating her real body.
       Merging her body with her brain. She could feel connections
       being made with it.
       ---------------------------------------------------------------
       2 Months Prior
       Forgotten City, Bermesiah
       Surrounded by miners from Serdin and Kanavan,  the Cryogenic
       Stasis Pod opened slowly. Mist flowed from under the lid. The
       mist covered the body within, prohibiting view. A hand rose from
       the mist, swirling it around it. It grabbed the rim of the pod.
       The hand was young and child like, but quickly grew to a more
       youthful age. The men around backed away slowly.

       By: Rayya Zavran Date: March 31, 2012, 7:58 pm
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       The figure in the pod leaned forward. Much of her body was
       covered in frost, but was quickly disappearing, becoming
       colorful with life. The figure whipped its legs around the pod
       to the point it was sitting on the pod's edge. The figure was
       female, with long magnificent dark brown hair. When she looked
       up, her eyes shined brightly, but it was clear she had been
       through a lot of pain. Her body was glistening from the frost
       melting.
       
       The foreman stepped forward. "Hello?" All the excavators wore
       tan, dirt colored overalls and simple white t-shirts. The looked
       rough and masculine, yet they backed away from the pod with
       uncertainty.
       
       The foreman outstretched his hand, attempting to help her out of
       the pod. He was several feet away, so even he was full of
       uncertainty.
       The girl stepped out of the pod. Her body aged about 12 years.
       She looks 17 at this point. She eyed the human reaching out to
       her. The men behind her were speaking a language she didn't
       understand. She stepped out the pod. She didn't think anything
       of it, but she was naked. The men stepped away from her. She
       walked slowly and gracefully to the Foreman. She lifted her
       hand, extending two fingers, and pressed them on his head. In
       the course of three seconds, the man collapse to the ground.
       Rayya closed her eyes briefly.
       The J'nour have the ability to filter another's mind for
       information relevant to their interests. This allows them to
       quickly filter another persons mind at 20 years per millisecond.
       They can find information that was previously unknown to them;
       Language, history, ideas and other important aspects to that
       J'nour. The J'nour use this ability to understand each others
       opinions and formulate a consensus with the entire population.
       The J'nour were what humanity has striven for in a matter of 2
       months; perfect, however only in terms of civil relations. Their
       military started to develop late, causing their demise.
       Rayya filtered out words in the language called: English, "I am
       Rayya Zavran. Queen of the J'nour."
       Rayya hasn't had the chance to meet a human, but since she has
       the faint blood trace of the Humans, she knew what they were to
       look like.
       "Foreman!" A excavator exclaimed.
       "Where are the other J'nour?" Rayya stared the humans down. They
       glared at her.
       "They died out long ago."
       Rayya's eyes widened. She stepped backward against the pod. Her
       mind kept flashing images of her civilization. To her it only
       felt like a few years, however she soon realized that she had
       been gone for 12 hundred years. The cryo pod kept her from aging
       and developing memories besides when she was in her mind matrix.
       Rayya looked down behind her, at a panel on the pod. She placed
       her hand on the hand recognition mechanism. The pod pulsed with
       life. The panel slid outward, revealing a shiny blue
       crystallized shard and a cube that pulsated white lines around
       it. She pressed the button on the top of the cube. The cube
       levitated off the ground. All the sides of the cube detached
       from the original form. There was a light on the inside. Rayya
       reached inside, pulling out a Solara. She lost all reason, and
       the blood about to be shed should satisfy her for now.
       "Forgive me, Father."
       (To be continued.)

       By: Rayya Zavran Date: April 1, 2012, 2:12 pm
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       Rayya eyed the Solara in her hand. Memories continued to flash
       in her mind. She placed the Solara back in her Matrix Cube.
       Turning to face the excavators, she sighed lightly.
       The excavators were holding their heads, stumbling about,
       "Ughhh..."
       Rayya eyed them carefully. Their movements are uncoordinated
       now. Several of them tumbled to the ground, still holding onto
       their heads. Rayya's eyes went half-mast. Is this some sort of
       human ritual?
       Mouth agape, a excavator charged Rayya. Rayya noticed his pupils
       were dilated, which seems unusual in this brightly lit area.
       Rayya placed her right foot behind her, bending her knees
       slightly. As the excavator drew closer, she lunged forward,
       planting her left hand on his shoulder. Mid-vault, Rayya placing
       both hands on his head. Rayya attempted to probe his mind,
       trying to understand why he would act in such a way, but
       something in his mind repelled her from entry. Rayya frowned,
       twisting her body in mid-vault, she broke his neck. Rayya landed
       firmly on her feet. The man walked forward a bit, then turned to
       face her.
       "What the hell?" she said in J'nour.
       The excavators surrounded her. Unnecessary drivel was secreting
       from their mouths. Rayya cringed a bit. The "human's" head was
       bent, looking to the side. He grabbed his head, straightening it
       with multiple cracks. Rayya raised an eyebrow. Many of them
       grabbed pipes and poles that cluttered the area.
       Do all Humans act this way? This makes them seem like a warlike
       species. Still... Rayya examined her hands. He rejected me.
       Humans shouldn't have that power. All the Humans rushed her.
       Rayya lifted her hand and the Matrix Cube floated to her. She
       reached inside, pulling out a marble sized orb. Rayya vaulted
       over another human, crushing the orb in the process. The orb was
       smashed into dust. The dust floated over Rayya's naked body in
       mid-air. So much dust from one orb, but there was a reason for
       this. The dust transferred its energy into clothing, attaching
       itself to other dust particles in a web-like manner.

       (Will Color Later)
       Four Solari flew out of the Cube and onto her belt inside her
       overcoat. A excavator swung a pipe towards her head behind her.
       She ducked low, sliding her foot on the ground, allowing the
       momentum to swing her around. Rayya swept the Excavator from his
       feet, causing the pipe to fly from his hand. Rayya went up into
       a handstand, pushing herself off the ground. She grabbed the
       pipe, deflecting another excavator's pipe to her left, kicking
       him in the chest afterwards. She flipped backwards off his chest
       with a sideways spin. She extended her legs, hitting yet another
       excavator square in the jaw with her foot, however, he only
       staggered. She landed firmly, spinning and hitting him in the
       legs with the pipe. Rayya lightly threw the pipe in the air,
       causing it to spin. She caught and flung it at another
       excavator, hitting him in the chest. Kick to the side, Rayya
       flew several feet. She quickly recovered, deflecting several
       punches from a smaller excavator. The excavator attempted a
       right hook. Rayya grabbed his arm with her left hand, pulling on
       it. She kicked his feet, causing him to be in the air for about
       2 seconds. Rayya spun around to her right and lifting her leg,
       she performed a heel drop on his chest.
       Rayya retreated a bit, due to slowly being overwhelmed. A big
       excavator grabbed Rayya with his pipe, choking her with it.
       Another excavator was bring a pipe with a downward swing. She
       tilted her head to the left, causing the pipe to hit her choker
       in the head. She hit his side with her elbow, causing him to
       left go of her. As the pipe was coming off her neck to her
       right. Rayya grabbed it with her right hand behind her head. She
       swung it at the man in front of her. Right swing, left swing and
       an upward swing, finished the combo. Rayya spun around, kicking
       the choker in the head.
       Rayya sighed. All the men were grovelling on the ground.

       ---------------------------------------------------------
       Rayya quickly sat down, supporting her weight with her hands
       behind her. She quickly sighed. That was taxing. I wasn't able
       to use my full potential as an adult should be able too. Rayya
       leaned forward, examining her hands.
       The sun was close to setting. A shadow wandered up behind her.
       Rayya quickly sprung to her feet. Three humans with a similar
       dress style but with different color schemes were behind her. On
       their boots was a ring around the soles that was different color
       per person. The shoes were tear drop shaped. In the front of the
       shoe, the stripe rose upward riding up both pants legs to meet
       together around the waist area. It then rose upward to part
       again at the collar. They also donned massive golden/black
       gloves.
       One of them with purple colored stripes extended her right arm.
       Her shadow rose up her body and materialized a scythe in her
       hand. She attempted to walk forward. The man in the middle threw
       his hand infront of her.
       "Who are you?" He asked. Rayya glanced at the ground, searching
       for the words to say.
       "Rayya," she said.
       The man glanced at the pod behind her. "You are the special
       person we have come to get I take it?" The woman glared at him.
       "And if I am, what would happen next," Rayya said in swift
       rebuttal. Its evitable. They will think I killed innocents.
       Rayya clenched her teeth. She suddenly looked relaxed.
       "Shinso, she killed innocents. She must be detained!" The woman
       with the scythe seems trigger happy. The man named "Shinso"
       nodded to the man on his right. The man pulled out a book from
       his bag. He knelt beside a body, examining it. His eyes widened.
       He stood up, whispering in Shinso's ear.
       Shinso's eyes also widened. "Are you certain?" The other man
       nodded. Shinso had a bluish stripe. His friend had green.
       Shinso's hair was ruffled and untamed. Hair was extended to his
       back in a ponytail. He had bluish highlights in his hair. Rayya
       hadn't noticed before, but he had a tryfing in his hand, and an
       orb in the other. His glove was different from everyone elses,
       she couldn't really explain it.
       "Enough!" the woman charged Rayya. Her blonde hair fluttering in
       the air around her. With her scythe winded back, she quickly
       closed the distance. Mid-swing, Rayya lifted her right hand
       slowly, and the scythe stopped abruptly before it hit her. I am
       regaining control of my telekinesis. Retailiating, the woman's
       Scythe filled with dark energy. With another swing, with another
       abrupt stop, this time it was from Shinso.
       With his Tryfing out, he easily parryed the blow. He stepped
       forward, grabbing her shirt. "Enough," he pushed her away.
       "These men may have Demonic residue on them. If that is the
       case, then Rayya here," he gestured to Rayya, "isn't at fault."
       The woman stormed off. "Forgive Ryuko. She is impatient and
       doesn't consider her actions. We are appart of the Saint Black.
       We ensure the Queens messages are received and peace is
       enforced. Please, come with us."

       Rayya's eyes lowered. Sounds like the Highlanders. Rayya quickly
       formed a intense distrust of these humans. Rayya turned to her
       pod, retrieving the Matrix Cube.
       "What is wrong?" Shinso asked, he quickly trailed her.
       Rayya turned around abruptly. "Do not follow me."
       Shinso grabbed her shoulder when Rayya turned back around. Rayya
       twirls around grabbing his arm, twisting it. Rayya looked down
       to see the blade of the Scythe about to touch her neck. Rayya
       lazily curled her lip. She bent backwards, while still holding
       his arm, she kicked the scythe away. She kicked Shinso in the
       chest. When she turned around to face Ryuko, her Solari flew
       from her belt. With a *Shkeeew Sheeek* Her Solari activated and
       deflected the scythe swing to her left.
       "Tch," Ryuko withdrew her Scythe. Shinso eyed the Solari.
       "Interesting," he said, "sadly, we must take you to Serdin. The
       Queen already asked for you. If you decline, we will take you by
       force."
       Rayya withdrew her blades and darted to the left. The Saints
       trailed behind her. "Draconis!" She heard Shinso say. Draconis
       pulled his grimore from his bag and chanted some strange words.
       Suddenly, the ground under her shook. When her foot planted on
       the ground, the ground suddenly raised upward. Half of her foot
       was on the plot of land. She lost her balance, tumbling to the
       earth. Ryuko was on the bottom, Scythe drawn. Rayya extended her
       arms, creating a telekinetic plate in the air. She landed on the
       foot panel. She examined it closely. My mind is reverting to its
       usual state, I just need to hold out a little longer. I can't
       take them all.
       "Kai!" Draconis yelled. He flung his hand upward. A strange
       glyph appeared above Rayya. She stared at it, eyes widening. She
       leapt forward off the panel. The glyph exploded, Rayya tumbled
       to the ground. Ryuko agressively subdued Rayya by placing her
       knee on Rayya's back. Face intense with frustration, Rayya's
       eyes quickly flashed white with mist rising from them.
       "Ugh," Rayya sighed. She relaxed her body.
       "Let's take her to Serdin now." Shinso said. Draconis
       materialized handcuffs on her. A bigger glyph formed on under
       her.
       "If you try to escape, Draconis will blow you up!" Ryuko said
       with glee.

       Serdin Castle, Bermesiah (Present)
       Rayya ended her story abruptly.
       "Is that all that happened?" the turban professor said.
       "Anything other than what I told you is minor details and I wish
       to not explain," Rayya lowered her eyes. Questions annoy her
       very much, all these humans have done was interrogate her for
       the past 4 days.
       The massive door opened behind her, Ryuko came barging in with
       the Princess of Serdin. Ryuko still had her Saints Black outfit
       on, while the Princess had an elegant white dress. She had a
       blue gem on her forehead. "Princess!"
       "Enough, I do not wish to continue this. My decision is met,"
       the Princess turned quickly, jabbing her finger in Ryuko's
       chest. "Report back to your superior. If he has a problem then
       he can consult with my Mother."
       Ryuko glared between the Princess and Rayya. She grunted loudly,
       tightening her fist.
       "It must be good to be pampered by the Princess. Enjoy this
       while you can, 'cause I am going to knock you down to size."
       Ryuko stormed out the room. Rayya's eyes went half mast. She
       lowered her eyes upon her exit. The man with the turban stood
       up, bowing before the Princess.
       He moved closer to her, whispering in her ear. Rayya stood up
       after eyeing them, then proceeded to the balcony. She ran her
       hand across the railing of the balcony. More memories flashed in
       her mind. She couldn't actively peer into her memories as of
       late. Her mind is still in a time lapse from the Cryo-Genic
       slumber.
       Rayya peered down into the city. Nostalgia fills her completely.
       Buildings made of stone, children running on the stone road, and
       statues made of marble. The J'nour didn't have resources such as
       the earth itself like these humans. The Gods provided them the
       knowledge to construct from scratch without having to rely on
       natural features of the world of Aernas. If the Humans got their
       hands on the technology of the J'nour... Unfortunately,
       according to the questions she asked the turban human, the
       ancient kingdom of Kounat had attained a high level of
       technology in their reign. Rayya believes Kounat to have some
       artifacts from the J'nour. However, Kounat met their demise
       similar to the J'nour, except, the Highlanders fought during
       that time. Ashtaroth, the Demon that Grand Chase fought 200 year
       ago, destroyed all the Highlanders, yet there are Highlanders
       still. Rayya cast suspicions about. Unless Sieghart became the
       leader of the Highlanders and began to recruit again, then
       Highlanders shouldn't exist anymore.
       Rayya smiled at the idea of a Highlander genocide. Highlanders
       were formed from the God's will. They reflect the will and a
       taste of the power of them too. Highlanders wield weapons that
       reflect their abilities and personality. These weapons rival the
       gods. Unlike the weapons created by the demons: Transcendance,
       Eclipse and the Grandark, these could be wielded easily by the
       individual and didn't have personalities such as being power
       hungry.
       The Princess followed her into the balcony. "Are you feeling
       well?" She held the Matrix Cube in her hand. Rayya moved closer
       to her, extending her hands to recieve the box. Once in her
       hand, the cube pulsed to life. The cube lifted from her hand,
       and the Memory Shard floated out. It shined brightly like a
       burning sun. With that said, there were solar flare type rays
       coming off of it. The Shard pulsed, forming strange
       technologic-like symbols in a circular motion around it. When
       the shard pulsed again, a sphere like barrier expanded around
       the Princess and Rayya.
       "Amazing," the Princess stood in awe. A menu appeared in front
       of Rayya.
       Evening Queen Rayya.
       Your Father wished for you to review the last recorded memory.
       Rayya's eyes closed slightly. The menu disappeared and a new one
       materialized in its place. Rayya pressed her finger on the
       holographic menu.

       Initiating Memoral Indoctrination
       Rayya and the Princess's bodies collapsed on the balcony. Rayya
       could feel something being pulled from her. Her head drew a
       chill. Electric blue lines ran from Rayya's chest all over her
       body. The lines retreated back to their original position. A
       blue orb came off both of their bodies. It hovered for a moment,
       then made a holographic version of them both.
       Holographic Rayya peered around, "So it still works even after
       all this time?"
       Rayya noticed their bodies on the ground. Sadly, she didn't get
       into the meditation pose. Her mind is sure to feel the after
       effects. the Holographic Princess looked about, "What
       happened...?" She looked down at her hands. Her eyes widened,
       mouth agape.
       "We are in the memory shard. No one will be able to see us, but
       they can see our physical bodies, which we left. Our mind, has
       left the physical limitations of the world. This place allows
       you to use your mind to the fullest. I didn't expect it to work
       for a non-J'nour. Think of this place as your imagination. A
       gateway to the past and a link with others in the present.
       Should there be another J'nour with a memory shard, we could
       connect and share memories. Sadly, I am the last," Rayya looked
       down at the non-existant floor.
       The area they were in was a black abyss, seemingly able to
       absorb all light that isn't the memory shard. You could see
       their bodies in the place they left them.
       "Indoctrination Process Complete."
       A futurist drone-like thing hovered behind them, "Initiating
       Memory"
       The area around them warped to a new land. The place where the
       J'nour were located. Some J'nour call it the Crux of Destiny.
       Her father stood there. Pacing around the room.
       "Vigil, begin memory transfer."
       "Yes," the same drone they see before them was talking to her
       father.
       "Rayya, I fear that my time is coming to an end. I tried my best
       to make the J'nour the best. However, soon-" the memory shard
       failed to load completely.
       "Sorry, Rayya, but when you first get this message your
       Sychronization Rate will be low due to the cryo-genic sleep that
       I will put you in."

       The holographic version of Rayya's father fiddled around with
       his surroundings. He lifted the memory shard that is now in
       Rayya's possession.
       "This shard is the most advanced one to date. It will track your
       progress. When your sychronization rate is high enough, you will
       periodically learn the truth of our demise," he looked away. His
       eyes slowly filling with tears. Little Rayya ran into the door.
       A gem placed on her forehead. She tugged on her father's robe.
       "Father, why are you crying?" Rayya cocked her head to the side.
       "It's nothing, precious," he picked her up. He waved at the
       recorder, "until next time."
       The 3rd world fizzled out. The princess reached her hand out to
       comfort Rayya. Rayya raised her finger, pressing
       "desynchronize". They both were flung to their bodies. Their
       positions matching that of their bodies as a tight overlay. The
       world reverted to normal. Rayya stood up, with long strides,
       hurried to the door.

       Rayya saw a shadow underneath the door she was nearing. It was
       probably that strange sadistic Saint Black girl. Rayya turned
       and ran to the balcony. Long strides matched with with insane
       speed allowing her to cover 20 feet in 2 seconds. She leapt over
       it, extending her hand to make a Telepathic Panel. She landed,
       quickly recovering, creating a staircase of panels. After she
       stepped on, then left one, the panel would vanish. Like a spiral
       staircase, she curved her path down the side of the castle to
       the opening of another balcony. She took a leap from 12 feet
       high, landing then lowering her shoulder for a roll.
