Moon was left alone, in owe, with the beautiful crystal in her hand. She was important? For who? Why? She was just a princess. That meant she was important by default.
-Hey, hey!
Silver Tiger, her brother towering over her was looking concerned. Looking at her, waiting for a reaction.
-Brother...
-What is wrong?
He sat next to her thinking she was just spending some time on her own, but the truth was that she could not move yet. She was confused, not knowing how to interpret the things that had just occurred.
-I think... I don't know... Something happened... And I don't know...
-What has happened? I felt it.
-Someone came to me and gave me this, Moon opened her palm and showed him the crystal.
Silver took a look and wanted to touch it but his hand stopped in the middle of the move.
-Who gave it to you? Silver looked around, trying to find any figure that may be moving around and let him know more info about a possible threat.
-I don't know... it was a feminine voice, I have heard that before, but I don't know... I think I know her but I can't say who it was... She wore a hood, and she was hiding from me.
-Why would she be hiding from you? Does that mean you know her? Why did she give it to you?
-She said to use it and open the portal...
-Wait, what? The portals? With this??
-Yes... But...
-How do you open a portal with this one? Silver grabbed the crystal and looked at it, moving it on ev ery side, like it was hiding something he needed to find.
-I don't know... She did not say... she just left...
-She gave you the stone and left??
-Yes! She said I am important...
-Of course, you are important; you are of royal blood!
-No, she did not mean it that way... She meant it in a different way...
-Important in another way than your royal blood? as in... for someone?
-Yes... like that...
-As in... for a mate or something?
-I don't know, brother... I did not understand, and she did not stay long enough to explain it to me, but she meant no harm.
-How do you know that?
-Something in her, there was something familiar in her. I can not explain, but I think I know her. Somehow...
-Feels strange, little sister. Something is not right here...
-I know... but that is how I feel.
-Did she seem to know you back?
-Yes. Or at least, I think so. She kept her distance as if trying not to interfere too much... as I could recognize her...
-If you could recognize her and she was hiding, how can you tell she did not want to hurt you?
-If she wanted to hurt me, she could have tried something, right? She did not. It felt... strange like we knew each other for a lifetime and it felt... like she loved me.
-Was it Ayla?
-No, I know aunt Ayla, and it was not her.
-And how is this supposed to work, little sister? Silver was still moving the crystal on all its sides in his hand.
-I think I need to figure it out... She left before she could say more. But when she came over to me, she opened a small portal, enough for her alone to fit in and she left the same way. Maybe I just need to hold it or talk to it?
-Do not!!!
Silver Tiger just slapped her hand, and the stone fell to the ground. He did not want his little sister to just open a portal that would suck them into the gods know what world...
-Heeey! What are you doing?? She got angry and lifted the crystal off the ground.
-Careful when you touch that, sis, you don't want to disappear too now...
-No, of course, I don't, but still, don't do that...
-I don't like this!
-Well, you don't have to like it, Silver!
-What do you mean?
-Well... Maybe the Gods know what they are doing...
-You... here come the Gods again...
-Just because you do not praise them, it does not mean they do not exist...
-Well, alright, we will not fight over this matter, is pointless anyway. We take it to the Sun House and let them study it.
-But is mine, she gave it to me!!
-But you do not know who she is and if she wants to harm the royal blood, do you now?
-Hmmm... I am positive she did not want to harm me, I could feel her love.
-Love?? Love, Moon? Then why was she hiding? Well, until you can actually back that loving feeling with some hard evidence, I am the crown prince and I say it goes to the Sun House. I don't want to have my little sister disappearing into some unknown world.
-Awww, you fear for me, brother?
-No, I fear more the poor creatures that you would run into...
-Hahaha... But no, This will not get into someone else's hands. I will study it myself.
-But you will not study it alone and you will study it in your armor and armed, little sister. Plus, you restart your training every day, just like we were kids. I want our brothers to do that too, so it would be a good opportunity for you to train with them without raising suspicions that we fear something. If anything happens when you are studying this stone, you are to be ready to help yourself. Promise?
-I promise.
-And link me, before anything. Don't you dare disappear from our homeworld before you tell me about it? So do not touch it alone!
-All alright, all right...
-I mean it, Moon. Do you understand?? I need you right now. We all need all of us, but I need you to keep things in control, for now, little sister.
-Yes, brother, I understand. Thank you for loving me! she winked at him and kissed his cheek.
-Errrr, he growled loud enough for her to hear him. He loved her and she loved him back.
His sister was really a piece of art!
