” "Do not panic. I will summon my love to me and all will be well. Even now I feel the other Zan reaching out to seek me out, he is stronger for now, but I know my Zan will find me." Liz said as she closed her eyes and focused on Max and sending him her location.
Perhaps it was too much hope that Liz knew Max as well as she thought she did. They had this connection between them, something that was tangible and real and so very hard to describe. Never had she thought that in the two years that she had truly started to get to know the quiet boy that anything like this would be revealed to her. Liz, Lyssaria, whomever she was destined to be was someone with whom the world would come to love. In her heart she knew that their life on earth was just starting and they had not even begun their life on Antar. Dark brown eyes stayed closed behind eyelids that were starting to moisten from the exertion Liz was putting them through.
The group that had gathered in the outskirts of town watched with fear in their eyes as Max and Zan both stopped talking and stood very still. Max could feel the whisper of Liz reaching out to him through their connection, calling to his soul. The simple knowledge that he was so connected to his Liz made him crack a smile. In his voice he could hear her talking to him.
“Max. Max I need to tell you something and I need you to listen ok. This is going to sound strange, well not as strange as me returning to Earth from a trip to Antar.” Her voice was breathless as she tried to run through everything that needed to be said.
Zan stood off to the side, using his powers to try to help locate the queen. Something, or someone was blocking him and he had an idea who it was. The energy was familiar to him, someone he hadn’t seen in so long but someone whom he wouldn’t mind seeing again. Her presence was close as if she was seeking them out. Knowing that Max was in a jumpy stage and so were the others, the addition of an unknown alien would only make things worse.
All of the aliens could feel this presence near them and it was making them all a bit on edge. Anger and frustration seemed to radiate off the being without any clear direction. Michael and Rath both stood up from their seats and headed towards the back door. From there they could watch anyone sneak up on them from behind. Being the protectors they were more than happy to fall back into that role without anyone asking them to do so. Maria was nervous and instead of choosing to pace she went and joined Michael by the window, offering a second set of eyes.
“Everyone relax and calm. Our visitor is not out to harm us, she is a friend one we have long since forgotten since our arrival here. Serena means us know harm, she’s just frustrated because she had such a hard time finding us. If you will grant me a moment I will know more as Liz tells me.” Max’s voice rang out strong and proud as he sought to quell the fear and nervousness he was seeing in his friends.
“I am not strong enough to reach out to everyone. The longer this takes the weaker I get. Listen, someone named Serena is headed your way. She is a friend, an ally and the only one that can lead you to where I am. You see, I was injured on Antar and Tess and Serena saved me and brought me back here to you. I can’t tell you more than that, I fear the stasis chamber is making me weak, the longer I am in here the less chance I have of getting out becomes. Trust in Serena when she arrives. Listen to her and head her words.” Liz’s voice faded in and out of Max’s mind as she tried to relay her message. She hoped that he would understand and could get the others to do the same.

The note that was left wasn’t that hard to find and neither was the house that Max had mentioned, though Serena wondered if he understood that. For a human, his words would be cryptic and hard to decipher but for an alien the trail was easy enough to pick up on. All she had to do was use her powers to follow his trail. Serena was racing as fast as she could to the place where her king was, the place where she would find the person that would save the queen and their world. How was she to tell Max that Liz was dying, that if she died so did their chance of saving home?
The motorcycle that she had stolen was roaring along the road, dust flying behind it. In her view she could see the house and knew that there was no turning back. She only hoped that no one followed her. It was dangerous to lead their enemies to the king especially at a time when everyone was vulnerable to attack. Purple eyes glazed over as she slowed the motorcycle down and parked it next to the house. Using her powers was like breathing air for the humans, something that was so natural that not to do so would be a crime.
Max had been waiting for their visitor to arrive and was at the door almost before Serena was. Everyone was on pins and needles watching his reactions. Words weren’t spoken they didn’t have to be. Amber eyes met purple as Max stepped aside from the door and ushered the woman in. Max was something that was strange to everyone, calm. “Serena it has been to long my friend. Come in.”
Stepping across the threshold Serena could feel the power of two kings staring at her. Zan and Max together each bearing qualities so like the old Zan of Antar. Max had the looks, and from what she had gleaned the Zan of earth had the attitude. There was no doubt that Max was the true king, if there had been the granolith would have killed Liz and him both. “My king. I am afraid that this isn’t a social call. Liz needs you and she needs you now.”
Michael and Maria headed into the living room, followed by Rath. Alex and Isabel were still there and Zan and Max stood guard as they waited for Serena to continue.
“I don’t know how much about the situation each of you knows. I will try to be brief yet concise in explaining the situation. Liz was taken by Tess to Antar and while there both girls were awakened by the granolith. Tess discovered the truth about who she was, that she was created by Khivar to betray the king, and on Antar she had no real control over her thoughts and actions at that time. Liz is the queen and Khivar challenged both girls. They fought and Ava risked her life to save Liz and bring her back. She is dying, painfully and slowly. Her wounds aren’t progressing because we have her in a stasis chamber but the power for that won’t last much longer. I assume that the king has been awakened as well? For if he hasn’t and he tries to heal the queen he will die. We need to go because Liz has precious moments to spare.” Serena was heading for the door almost before she finished speaking. A part of her doubted if anyone would follow her. Of course she probably didn’t have to worry, even in the past her king loved her queen to the point of death.
The roar of the motorcycle engine filled the quiet of the desert air as she started to race away. The Jeep and other cars followed behind, not too far but just enough that it wouldn’t look too suspicious. That might be why they missed the fourth vehicle that joined them. The one containing a mysterious man who was trying to get his way in this world. If he was friend or foe, well that is to be determined but he would follow the group of teens and see where they went.
