Time drifted by slowly as inky blackness and pain drifted through Liz's body for the last time. While this was a necessary process it was a very painful one but would turn out to help them immensely. Shocks wracked her body twice more as Liz was slowly brought awake with a new understanding of everything. Her role in the past life had been cut short due to the actions of Rath's father. Her true purpose had been hidden from even her but now nothing would stop her from her true goal.

During the brief time that Zan was king of Antar he had tried to make several controversial changes to the government. One thing the Antarians were proud of was their ability to learn and assimilate Earth characteristics to their planet. There was one thing that he thought the should try, it was a parliamentary monarchy. He wanted to remain king but not be the one with total control. Zan loved his people and only wanted what was best for them but he never truly got to implement many changes. His wedding and the coronation of his queen was supposed to be the pivotal point since Ava had influence over those that wanted to reject his plans. With the murder he never got to do any of it.

Lyssaria's part in all of this was supposed to be by Zan's side. The true four-square, power unimaginable that would keep Antar safe from their enemies. By turning Lyssaria away from her path each of the powers of the royal four were weakened significantly.

As realization dawned on Liz she knew that she needed to get back to them as quickly as she could. Pushing the covers away she tried to stand but was still shaky from being asleep for so long. Keeping her hands on the bed Liz concentrated on breathing and steadying herself. When she felt strong enough she pushed away from the bed and headed towards the bathroom. Time was precious and Liz hoped they would be prepared for the three trials they were about to face.

Turning on the shower as hot as she could, Liz stood under the spray hoping that her muscles would relax and Tess would be back by the time she was finished. Closing her eyes, Liz allowed herself to relax but as she reached out for the shampoo she gasped as she had a flash of images. These were not like the flashes she received when she kissed Max, this was much more subjective and felt like it was going to happen rather than it had.

Finishing her shower quickly, Liz tried to dress as fast as she could. Entering the bedroom from the bathroom she noticed that both Tess and Serena were back. They had precious little time to come up with a plan, especially if what she was actually true. "Good you both are here. I fear that we have even less time than we planned. Something happened that you both need to know about."

Both girls turned to Liz to give her their full attention. While they had been gone Serena talked to Tess about the trials that they were going to face. There was not much known since it was rarely enacted. They had cut their walk short when Serena suddenly felt drawn to back to the room. She had a duty to protect the queen and felt compelled to do so. So now here they were about to learn what had Lyssaria on edge.

"Your Highness are you sure you wish to talk to us about this here? The longer you stay here the more danger you are in. We must get you and Ava back to Earth as soon as possible."

"I appreciate your concern Serena but I merely wanted to talk about the trials. I believe I know what they are and how we can win. I was in the shower just moments ago and I touched the shampoo bottle. I had a flash, almost like a vision of what was to come. We only have on hour to go over this before they come for us." Liz said as she started outlining the plan that would grant them their freedom but ensure that they made it home with the full protection of the granolith.

The loud knock on the door made the room fall silent as one of the guards pushed the door open and escorted all three women out of the room. They were led down a long hallway that had no windows or doors for ten minutes. Finally stopping just outside a set of double wooden doors the guard spoke brusquely. "Step inside. You will find a set of robes that are traditional for these events. Once you are dressed you will wait until further instructions are given."

Both girls looked hesitant for a moment but they skittered through he door to find the robes laying there. Dressing quickly, Liz in green and Tess in blue both girls were surprised at how well they fit. This was going to be tough because the first two challenges were individual challenges, trying to force them to fail by presenting them with something they were not good at.

Minutes ticked by as they waited for the next set of instructions to come to them. Kivar watched both girls from afar, unimpressed with the fact they seemed to be confident about what they were about to face. He had specifically chosen these tasks to watch them fail. Smirking slightly he spoke to give them their next commands. As King he had the right to set this challenge up any way he wished and he would make sure it was in his favor. "The first event is a mental challenge. The first contestant is Liz Parker."

Things were looking good since this would be easy for Liz. She was the one with the knack for mental challenges so she stepped forward and waited for the task to be handed down to her. While she knew that things could be dangerous she was not going to overlook the fact that Kivar did not know enough about her. If he was trying to see them fail then he should have chosen Tess.

"Your task is simple enough. You will be presented with a series of questions about Antarian government and history. There will be a total of 30 questions and you have the ability to skip only two. To pass this trial you must successfully answer at least 28 questions correctly. You may begin" Kivar hissed out as he sat back to watch the girl fail.

Liz confidently stood her ground and hoped that Kivar did not realize she had the granolith on her side. When her awakening had been completed Liz had been given all the knowledge that Lyssaria knew as well as the knowledge passed down to the kings and queens of antar by the granolith. Suddenly a flash of white light surrounded her and Liz was frozen in her spot as she was greeted by images of the Elders of the kingdom. They introduced themselves and explained what was about to happen. The questions began and she tried hard to remember everything that she had been shown. Answering to the best of her ability Liz waited for the verdict of her task.

"Lyssaria it is truly an honor to see you again. You have shown a true mastery of the history of your planet and the knowledge that only the true queen of Antar has. We are honored to inform you that you have passed this trail"

The white light surrounding her disappeared and Liz waited to see what Kivar would do next. His frown had her frightened but Tess was smiling at her giving her a thumbs up. They had come to win, not to back down to some tyrant.

"The second task is one of powers. Tess is to demonstrate the strength of her powers against an opponent of my choosing. If she can successfully use her powers to deflect or distract the opponent then she shall win. " Kivar spoke again.

Tess stepped forward to face the guard that was waiting for her. A soft wind picked up blowing her robes around her making them flutter. Tess was prepared, she knew her powers were stronger here on Antar than the were on Earth. Starting out slowly, Tess eased into a mind-warp. She wanted to make the man see angry bunnies hopping around his feet. If she broke her concentration on her task to see if it worked she would lose so she kept her eyes closed and focused. Building the scene was the hardest part since she had to scare him. Hearing giggling coming from her right, Tess broke the mind warp in time to see the guard running around in circles screaming about rabid rabbits. The task was easily accomplished and both girls stood waiting for the next task.

"So you managed to get past the first two trials but lets see how you do on the third. If I had my way you would be forced to fight each other but since you entered into this as a team you are allowed to work together. The third trial is a battle of powers, your powers versus ours. You will face two teams of four guards. IF you manage to get past all of them our bargain will stand. You will be free to take a ship back to earth. You will be given time to try to teach the others what you learned here before I seek out Zan."

With these last few words spoken, Kivar waved his hand and the bunker they were in transformed into rocky terrain. Tess and Liz looked around wondering just how they were going to get out of this. Liz had an offensive power while Tess' was primarily defensive. They had no time to plan as the first set of guards came out and took their positions. Blasts started firing off but Liz simply smirked as she reached out and took Tess' hand.

Tess trust me on this. I have the protection of the granolith and as long as you do not let go it extends to you as well. We can do this, this is sort of like the four square. Each of us can pull power from the other. I can grant you some of my lightening and you can lend me some of your mind abilities. We have to get through this. Liz spoke in the other girls mind.

Now was not the time to freeze up so both girls held onto each other tightly as they threw blast after blast, some laced with green lightning towards the guards. When the first group fell the second took their place. A blast from the side shook Liz as she crumpled over struggling to breathe. She refused to let go of Tess but this was the distraction that she needed. Concentrating hard, Tess managed to mind-warp each of the guards and simultaneously set them on fire. Her task done and the challenge won, she dropped down next to Liz.

The wound did not look good but this was not the place to examine it. Placing her hand on the wound she tried to manipulate it slightly to heal it some. Only the king was granted the power to heal but Liz was a friend. Looking around she spotted Kivar fleeing before they could turn on him.

Serena came running into the room, stopping short as she saw her queen in a heap on the ground. Picking up Liz, she turned to Tess, "Ava we have to go now. I have a ship ready. There is a medical bay onboard that we can place her in a stasis. All we can do is dress the wound and try to stop the bleeding until we can reunite her with her king."

Tess did not even question as she followed quickly with Serena. With everything that had happened she wanted to go back to her home. The trip to the ship was quicker than she had expected and she helped Serena place Liz within the stasis chamber. The pod sealed shut keeping Liz breathing and alive but protected so the ship would not jostle her too much. "Serena are you going with us?"

"I cannot leave our queen alone. She needs to get to the king and quickly if she is to survive. The part of the granolith that brought you here was on autopilot the only other person that can fly the ship is in stasis." Smiling at her friend, Rena took hold of the controls and prepared the ship for take off.

Before she could speak again, Tess felt a rumbling as they blasted off into space. The trip would take a few hours so she decided it was time to get some sleep. Things were going to be dangerous for her if she could not get Liz healed and awake before the others attacked her. Saying her goodnights, Tess headed to one of the cabins. Her bags were already packed and waiting for her as she shoved them on the ground and simply fell asleep in her robes on the bed.

Five hours passed quickly the trip back to earth was not quite as quick as the trip from earth to Antar. They landed quietly just minutes from the old crash site. The ship was set up with a cloaking device that would help it blend in and being night time it was less likely they were seen than if they had arrived during the day.

Upon landing Serena went and woke Tess. They needed to figure out how they were going to get Liz to Max since they had no idea if any of them were still in town. Through quick discussions it was decided that Tess would scout out the town and try to figure out what was going on. She would report back to Serena but until they could make contact Liz would stay in stasis.
