Chapter Forty-Four: To Get A Clue

A Few Months Ago

Jedda gazed from the palace balcony. It was an amazing view, just as Hadea said it would be. She sat down and swung her legs up, wriggling her toes. Hadea had named this area Bengalla, after her old home. It was as if she'd designed this part of the world just for her. The field was a lovely, sprawling green. A beautiful jungle was on the horizon. At a distance, she saw one of the castles that Hadea created, next to a building with glittering windows.

She grinned. Hadea once told her that she may become a land's queen in time and that she had the ability. Could that even be possible? Is she truly capable of being a queen? Would this be the land that she would rule over when the time was right? Jedda could only wonder.

Sighing, she continued to eye the beautiful view of the land.

The Present

Jedda opened her eyes as she was laying next to Rick. She smiled fondly at him and the new life they were living in. She had just become Queen of the Netherworld for a couple of days now and she was already enjoying the new life she was living. She chose this path to protect not only Rick but her children from Ming and all other threats that could be after her boyfriend's recently discovered powers. Not only that, it was more than likely that at least one of their children would have his powers as well.

Jedda could sense that Rick was starting to get used to life on the Netherworld, albeit slowly but surely. She could tell he was uncomfortable living here in the beginning and he had the right to, given that Hadea used to be the enemy but has since reformed.

"Good morning, Jedda." Rick greeted happily, pulling Jedda from her thoughts. She looked to see Rick as he sat up in bed.

"Good morning, Rick." Jedda smiled at him, returning the greeting. "I slept well. How are you feeling?"

"Okay." Rick nodded. "I'm still trying to get used to life here but I'm sure it'll work out just fine."

"I believe it too." Jedda smiled as she caressed his face. "I can tell you're uncomfortable living here at the moment but it is the best move for us."

"I know." Rick nodded. "The fact that one of our children will most likely have my powers, that thought scares me."

"It brings me to concern too." Jedda nodded as well.

"There's something else that is puzzling me though." Rick stated.

"And what's that?" Jedda asked, confused as she stood up from the bed.

"I started having strange dreams." Rick looked at her with worry. "It's concerning a crystal. It's red in color with purple around the edges."

"What does it mean?" Jedda asked.

"I'm not sure." Rick answered. "I wonder if it has something to do with the crystals that Galaxia is after."

"That is possible." Jedda nodded as she crossed her arms. "That's something that I wouldn't rule out. However, it could possibly be nothing."

"You're right." Rick nodded as he sighed before glancing at his girlfriend. "I'll figure it out eventually."

"I know." Jedda replied. "We will all find out our future eventually."

She stepped forward to Rick and they both shared a kiss.

It felt like hours as Rick was looking at the wall since Jedda left for her daily duties as queen. He had some things on his mind that was puzzling him. He had the vision of the mysterious red - purple crystal on his mind. Yeah, it could possibly be nothing like Jedda told him but deep down in his mind, there was something more in his mind and he just couldn't get it out of his head.

"Hello, Rick."

Startled, he turned around to see a servant woman with wavy blonde hair in the room with him.

"Hi," Rick uttered. "You're the same person who came to help me the night before. Your name is Izah, right?"

"Yes. My name is Izah."

"Nice to meet you Izah."

She gave a small smile. "Is there anything I can help you with?"

"Well, there is something." Rick answered as he glanced around. "Is there a room where I can find information about certain stuff?"

"Yes." Izah answered. "Her Highness has a room where you can find out information of certain things in the galaxy. I can take you there."

"Yes, if you please."

"Follow me and I will take you there."

"Thanks."

Izah led Rick to the room that he was wanting. This room had a set of computers.

"This is almost like Monitor." Rick muttered.

"The main computer is in the center of the room." Izah said. "It should tell you the information you need to know."

Rick glanced at the computer in the center of the room and nodded with a small smile.

"Let me know if you need anything else." Izah stated. "I shall wait for you outside the room."

"Of course." Rick nodded. "Thanks again, Izah."

She stepped out of the room, leaving Rick to the computer. He started having the strange feeling again which was surging through his chest and wondered what this meant or if it had anything to do with his recent dreams.

He typed a few buttons on the main computer. A few seconds later, a picture of a planet appeared on the screen.

Planet Quasar

It is a planet at the far end of the galaxy, outside of Earth's solar system. The Quasanites are peace loving humanoids. The planet was in an alliance with the Kinmokus and others of the far galaxy, particularly those involved in helping out the Hall of Wisdom.

Rick typed some more buttons on the keyboard.

Sailor Crystals/Star Seeds

Every living thing in the universe has a star seed, which is their life source. However, only Sailor Guardians have pure Star Seeds or Sailor Crystals.

However, there are exceptions as usually it is a female and a Sailor Guardian who obtains the Sailor Crystal in which Galaxia is after. There are at least two occasions where the pure star seeds were not held by a female or a Sailor Guardian but instead held by a male and non Sailor Guardian. Those occasions are the individual who represents the planet Earth and the individual who represents the Planet Quasar, a planet that has long been destroyed. No further information is known at this time.

Rick looked puzzled by this.

"Mamoru has the golden crystal from what the others told me," Rick stated, "so he represents Earth. So, who represents Quasar?"

Rick looked down as he was startled. It couldn't be. The visions. It couldn't be possible, could it?

"Chibi Chibi."

Startled, Rick turned around to see Chibi Chibi standing in front of him.

"Chibi Chibi?" Rick looked at her, startled. "What are you doing here? I thought you left with Princess Kakyuu and the Sailor Starlights."

Chibi Chibi shook her head. "No. I am here."

Rick couldn't help but to chuckle. "I get that."

"Here for you and Jedda." Chibi Chibi smiled.

"For us?" Rick looked at her in awe.

She nodded. "To keep you safe."

Rick looked at her in awe. "Just who are you anyway?"

Jedda gazed from the palace balcony. It was an amazing view, just as Hadea said it would be. She sat down and swung her legs up, wriggling her toes. Hadea had named this area Bengalla, after her old home. It was as if she'd designed this part of the world just for her. The field was a lovely, sprawling green. A beautiful jungle was on the horizon. At a distance, she saw one of the castles that Hadea created, next to a building with glittering windows.

This scene is inspired by the digital artwork that was recently posted by James. I tried writing this scene to best describe the artwork.

It felt like hours as Rick was looking at the wall since Jedda left for her daily duties as queen. He had some things on his mind that was puzzling him. He had the vision of the mysterious red - purple crystal on his mind. Yeah, it could possibly be nothing like Jedda told him but deep down in his mind, there was something more in his mind and he just couldn't get it out of his head.

" Hello, Rick."

Startled, he turned around to see a servant woman with wavy blonde hair in the room with him.

" Hi," Rick uttered. "You're the same person who came to help me the night before. Your name is Izah, right?"

" Yes. My name is Izah."

" Nice to meet you Izah."

This scene along with the rest of this chapter was going to be included in the previous chapter but I waited until this chapter as the last chapter was focused on Amy being revealed as Mandrake's daughter. I felt this was the right move made.

As for the name Izah, I got this name after reading a Flash Gordon 2007 fanfic a while back called About Sin and Salvation. It was a good story but sadly the author never finished the story.
