Elizabeth DeSabria Necronist
*When Darth and I left the flight deck for meditation, I started to feel faint and had to be carried to the meditation room. As I sit here, staring out into space, I cannot shake the feeling that something is going to happen, something quite profound, during meditation, maybe that is what bought on the fainting fit. I look round as Darth brings me a glass of water and smile at him*
Đarth Necronist
*walking over from the replicator i hand glass of water to my wife as i si down next to her thr orb is there glowing brightly as if its pulsing* we dont have to do this, we can find another way *feels this meditation with the help of the orb will give her back the memories she has lost, not knowing the consequences, my only concern i for her well being*
Elizabeth DeSabria Necronist
*I take a sip of the water then sigh deeply* it is essential that we find some answers, and find them soon, I have put it off for far too long, now I have the orb I know it is a sign that the time is right, this is something I have to face, and with you by my side, I know everything will be alright *I glance at the orb, the way the light inside pulsates almost calls to me, a shiver runs down my spine*
Đarth Necronist
*knowing my wife is a very strong woman inside, i instintivly knew she would face this situation head on, she never rememberd her memories of her life before meeting me when found her ship, when she was in cryogenic suspension and asleep for 200 years, i clear my mind, take a few deep breaths, with out new masks we care connected stronger than ever before*
Elizabeth DeSabria Necronist
*holding the orb gently, I close my eyes and relax, feeling the strong connection with my husband makes it so much easier to meditate. But this time, as I slip into the meditative state, I find myself alone in an underground vault, looking around I don’t see Darth, I reach out to him through our connection and wait for his reply*
Đarth Necronist
*as she holds the orb i loose connection to my wife i dont see what she sees, maybe its not meant for me, i continue to mediitate trying to reestablish our connection*
Elizabeth DeSabria Necronist
*I am not comfortable being in a strange place alone, and not being able to sense Darth at all makes it worse, I have the urge to pull out, though I know coming out of meditation too quickly can be dangerous, I’d rather do that than stay here. As I take a deep breath, there is the sound of something cracking…breaking and I find myself trapped in the vault, in the meditative state. I’ve never been in this situation before, I don’t know how to get out, it is as if I am really in the vault, suddenly I feel a presence behind me and turn round, gasping with surprise*
Đarth Necronist
*not sencing my wife im awoken by shattering sound, comming out of the meditation i see the orb she was holding has been shattered, then im hit with a bright light*
Elizabeth DeSabria Necronist
(Priestess Rhianu) Hello Elizabeth, so you found the orb and now it is time to give you the answers you seek…
(Elizabeth) What is going on, why I’m I trapped here?
(Priestess Rhianu) It is only temporary, your husband could not be witness to this, it is a matter for Saegilda only, surely you understand.
(Elizabeth) No I don’t, by virtue of the fact that he is my husband, he has a right to hear what you are going to say, in fact I demand that he hears it too
(Priestess Rhianu) Elizabeth that is not the way of the Saegilda, our knowledge is for us alone
(Elizabeth) You will share it with my husband, I am the last of our race and I wish to share it with him, I will not keep secrets from him, so whatever you have to say…say it to both of us
(Priestess Rhianu) If you wish, but you could be putting him in a lot of danger…
(Elizabeth) *I suddenly find myself out of the meditative state and sat staring at Darth, Priestess Rhianu is standing to one side looking at both of us intently* Darth, may I introduce Priestess Rhianu of the Saegilda…she has something she wishes to tell ‘both’ of us
Đarth Necronist
*not liking the fact i was cut out of the conversation by the priestess, i do not trust those who try to keep info from me especially whn it concerns my family, i do not try to hide these feelings, i stand up nod respectfully to the priestess, my hand on my saber*
Elizabeth DeSabria Necronist
*I get to my feet and stand by my husbands side, staring at Priestess Rhianu* Well you have our attention, go ahead
(Priestess Rhianu) *glancing at Darth, I choose to ignore the fact he has his hand on his saber* You already know that the Saegilda were persecuted on Kaleda IV, the government decreed that our race should be wiped out. We chose an elite group of couples and managed to smuggle them off the planet before the killing began, however, we did not realise another race were also interested in destroying the Saegilda, the Borg. When they arrived on Kaleda IV, they not only wiped out the remaining Saegilda, but captured and assimilated or destroyed the entire population.
The ship that left with the surviving Saegilda was 50 years into its journey when it found a planet it believed suitable for them to occupy. A shuttle was sent down to the planet to see if it was suitable, sadly of all the planets they could have chosen, that one was being used by the borg as a temporary base before launching a new offensive. The shuttle and the Saegilda were destroyed, then they went after the mother ship. I think you know the rest of the story after that *I glance at Darth, knowing only too well what part he played in Elizabeth’s survival*
Now you have found the orb, your memories will return and you will also receive important data as to the remaining keys. That is once I leave for the final time, this is the last you will hear of me Elizabeth, my mission is now over…
(Elizabeth) *before I can ask Priestess Rhianu what she means, she disappears in a burst of energy, I take hold of Darth’s hand to steady myself* I…I can feel my memories returning…need to sit down…
Đarth Necronist
*helps my wife to sit down, i hold her hands* just try to relax, the memories will return just try not to access too much information all at once *i keep my connection with my wife but i dont acess her thoughts only those she wishes to share*
Elizabeth DeSabria Necronist
*I look up at my husband and smile lovingly* I feel complete now, but I am still not comfortable about Priestess Rhianu, I never trusted her the first time we met, did you sense anything about her, was she really here at all, or just an energy being, someone who once existed?
Đarth Necronist
im not sure really, i did sence a presence, i just dont like being kept in the dark about things, some religouse sects can try to force thier views on others, tho i can understand her concern for you, i share those feelings, but i know that we are stronger together.
Elizabeth DeSabria Necronist
It just seems strange to me that both times I’ve met her, she has gone to great lengths to make sure you are not around, but I think you are quite right about religious sects, the Saegilda were very extreme *I pause for a moment, thinking deeply* I remember something, something important…sitting on my mother’s knee as a child, she would tell me about an ancient book the family used to have, something about keys…my love, I know that book is still on Kaleda IV in a safe location, we have to go and find it
Đarth Necronist
*contacts Henry Mitchell, whose on the bridge* brother please set new coordinance, take us into the mirror universe, we have to go somewhere first, ill report after Aurelia DeSabria Necronist joins us and e finish making her saber *holds my wifes hand* we can go there find your homeworld, the cloacks i use we wont have to worry about being detected by the borg, let the memories return, they will surface at key points *smiles* just like your memory just did about the book.
Elizabeth DeSabria Necronist
*I rest my head on your shoulder as I hold your hand tightly* I’m feeling more empowered now, I’ll share my memories with you as they resurface, I may not have been born on Kaleda IV, but my ancestors were, and we were rulers there before the military took control, and that was only because the DeSabria’s became Saegilda. This is going to be a very exciting journey for me to take, going home after over 200 years, though I do wonder just what will be left.
Đarth Necronist
we have been on a rollercoaster latly but we are on the verge of discovering a truth that you and i are involved in, perhaps our destiny is being forged in these moments, i can feel your excitement *as we look out the window the energy of the crossover to the mirror universe shines in the window of the ship, it feels good to me to be in the mirror universe, its where we are both from.
Elizabeth DeSabria Necronist
*I sit holding my beloved husband’s hand in silence, letting the love between us speak for itself, we both know what each other is thinking, there is no need to say a word, we can both feel the power, the importance of the moment. Hearing a tap on the door before it opens quickly, I turn round to see Aurelia running across the room* All ready to start work on your saber? *Aurelia nods enthusiastically, I turn to Darth and smile* There is nothing more enjoyable that being a happy loving family.
Đarth Necronist
*smiles at my wife and daughter, looking at aurelia* have you studied your books and are ready *as she nods yes i look at my wife* your mother has something for you that she found just for you *smiles as i know my wife has her power crystal*
Elizabeth DeSabria Necronist
I do indeed, so let’s see how well you do with creating your own saber, then you can have the surprise *I teasingly ruffle Aurelia’s hair and smile at Darth, wanting to keep the crystal a surprise for a little while longer*
