Xara's Mission

Xara's P•O•V
Present Day - Xameran

Even though the invasion and the war happened years ago, some parts of Xameran were still struggling to return to their former glory.

After Queen Xylie sent her youngest son, Xander to Earth for protection, the Gronk soldiers retreated but not without killing a few civilians and army generals.

They also captured King Xedklis and took him back to their planet leaving Queen Xylie and Prince Xavier as the only living members of the royal family after the others had been presumed dead.

And as if someone had it out for Queen Xylie, when Prince Xavier turned 18 two years ago, he left Xameran in hopes of rescuing his father against his mother's pleas and protests.

Sadly, that wasn't the end of her misfortune as she fell terribly ill afterwards.

No one knew what caused it and frantically searched for a cure they were yet to find.

Now, Queen Xylie, still very ill, called me to her chambers to have a word.

My name's Xara by the way.

I lived in the Palace but I was not a princess. My father was one of the army generals that lost his life in the war and my mother was one of civilians.

I was somewhat adopted by Queen Xylie after that.

I knocked on the door to her chambers and entered after hearing 'come in'.

There she stood by the window, watching the city that was once filled with happiness and laughter emitt sorrow and tears.

"You sent for me?" I asked.

"Yes. Have a seat Xara." She gestured towards a chair.

I sat and she did the same.

"Xara, I know no one is unaware of what Xameran has become and I want to share something with you."

She waited for me to say something and all I could do was nod.
She gave me a nod of her own and continued speaking.

"My son Xavier was supposed to take over the throne when he turned 18 since I couldn't rule, but since he was bent on being 'Xavier the Saviour', he left Xameran in hopes of finding and returning his father to Xameran. Now, 2 years later, he hasn't returned and we fear the worst has happened."

She took a pause to gather her thoughts and looked me directly in the eye.

"Xara, since I am unfit to rule at the moment, the prime minister has taken over the throne. I know in everyone's eyes it might look like he is doing Xameran a favor, but in reality, he has overthrown me and made sure my son wouldn't ever come back."

I still didn't understand what this had to do with me or why she was telling me any of this but I listened patiently.

"Now, Xameran's only hope to be what it used to be, resided on a planet in another galaxy."

"Xander?!?!" I asked, shocked.

"Yes. You are now the only other person besides Xavier that knows Xander didn't die on Xameran."

"Do you think he might still be alive?" I asked, our beloved Queen.

"Yes. I hope."

I nod understanding.

"This is where you come in." She said as she moved to sit next to me. She held my hands in here.

"I need you to go to that planet, find my son and bring him home."

"What?!" I stood up, causing her to let go of my hands.

"Xara, you are the one I trust most in this world and I know you are more than capable--"

"To fly to another galaxy so I can find your son that may or may not believe anything I say to him?!"

"Xara, I--"

"Can I at least think about it?" I asked, defeated.

"Of course. But remember Xara..." She said as I was already halfway through the door.

I looked back at her and she said.

"...we are running out if time."

I left Queen Xylie's chambers and went to mine. The minute I was alone, I layed back defeated on my bed.

I had to think through everything she told me.

She trusted me? Me?

Why would she trust me? And with something as important as that?

Xameran's only hope!!!

I decided to make a list of Pro's and Con's.

"Pro: If I do this and succeed, Xameran would be saved. Con: If I do this and fail, Xameran may be doomed. But if I don't so this at all, I'll never know." I sighed as I realised this was a harder decision than I thought.

I needed some fresh air to think, so I took a stroll around the Palace. As I was walking I heard voices and walked closer until I could see them.

Standing at the end of the hall, was the Prime Minister and his assistant.

I quickly ducked behind a wall so they wouldn't see me.

"What do we do about her? She could ruin everything if she gets better." Said his assistant.

The Prime Minister, who was a little over 10 years over that I was, held his assistant by the throat and lifted him off the ground.

"She won't get better. Understand?" He said, menacingly.

His assistant, who could barely breath nodded furiously to which to which his master dropped him to the ground, where he panted for breath.

I hurriedly ducked lower behind the wall as the Prime Minister walked past my hiding place with his assistant trailing slowly behind him.

When they were out of sight, I stood from my hiding place and rushed to the Queen's chambers.

I threw open the doors to find a very startled Queen laying on her bed.

"Xara, What's wrong?" She sat up and started walking towards me.

"W-when....when do I leave?" I asked in between breaths.

Her concerned expression morphed into surprise then relief then happiness.

"Tomorrow."
