I stared in shock at the picture in my hands. Why did they have a portrait of my dear and deceased mother? It's just a coincidence of faces or it's really my mother. A surprised whistle to my right pulled me out of my thoughts and forced me to look in that direction. Louis covered his mouth with his palms and stared at an inscription on the other side of the portrait. As soon as I read it, my head became tangled and I took a few steps back.

My mother's name came out in large letters on the canvas, much like the tombstone I had made for them. It made little difference. There was one more word before her first name, the title. Queen. How is it possible. After all, she lived on Earth all the time and never mentioned anything like that. I couldn't describe in words how I was just feeling. Shocked, surprised, scared and, last but not least, quite angry.

Did my mother really want to keep this in front of me forever? I would never know my true origin and live in a lie. On the one hand, I understood her but not on the other. She could said it to me. Wait! Does that mean Louis is my younger brother??! That can not be true. Please, let it not be as I think. "Louis, what's your mother's name," I looked at him with some concern and fear. "Johannah Tomlinson," he replied, still surprised in his voice. No wonder I was much worse off. However, I was extremely relieved by his words. We didn't have blood together. Thank God. I laid the portrait on a table nearby and thought.

What happened that my mother left of her kind? Was he deported or fled? Did she commit any high treason? Lots of similar questions circulated in my head. I couldn't find the right answers. I almost forgot! I still have her letter. Is it possible that there are answers in it? I have to get home. Best now. But the diplomacy of this mission was more important. "Louis, in order to find a solution to this situation, we must return to Earth. The sooner the better, "I finished my little monologue, and he nodded in agreement. We immediately got to the vessel and left the surface of the moon. Surprisingly, my appearance did not return to normal.

I mean, actually, this was probably my normal when I was one of them. I don't know how I get used to such long and white hair. The only thing that changed was my eyes. They shone again with the greenery I had been used to all my life. At least I have some of my ordinary appearance left. I was quite interested in whether others could change the color of their eyes. "Louis?" I looked at the companion beside me and waited for him to draw attention to me. "Can you change your eyes too?" I had to ask because in our dreams he always had azure eyes. Now they were still red as blood. The little brunette frowned a little, as if thinking hard about something. I watched him a little curiously when his color really changed.

"I take that as a yes," I smiled, showing the world my dimples, which almost no one had a chance to see. But they rightfully belongs to him with my heart. He stole my heart quite easily but I wouldn't change it. My thoughts were interrupted by Loui's hand on mine, which caught my fingers between his own, I watched our hands enchanted. They fit together perfectly, as if they were made just for each other. The smile didn't leave my face all the time. I looked around and noticed that all the creatures had changed eye color, some blue, others green. Others didn't show up. Just these two. It bothered me a little but I decided to ignore it.

We flew safely back to the mainland. However, the shocked expressions of my people did not surprise me. After all, I now looked like our, perhaps former, enemies. Assured that they would receive answers as soon as possible and we went to a nearby building. Since it was still not certain that peace would really come, I insisted on covering their eyes. I justified this by saying that these are security measures. Fortunately, no one protested, so we calmly took them to the control room, where all the records of humanity were.

*Louis*

If I said I wasn't hurt by Harry's distrust, I'd be lying. But for the most part, I understood him because he wanted to ensure the safety of his people and that is one of the important qualities of a king. That is appreciated. They took us to a room that was damn huge. All the earthlings in it looked at us in disbelief, as if we wanted to attack. It really wasn't planned. I want to end it, not make it worse. "I got it!" he said not far from us. I didn't even notice that Harry leaved but I must have been too busy looking around. We all walked over to him with great anticipation. Nervousness and fear were circulating in my veins since I was quite afraid of finding out, what if it really was a weapon?

"As I expected, it's really a research satellite. It was tasked with tracking the asteroids and all the possible dangers around our planet but the impact of one of them diverted her from her axis and humanity lost contact with her. Somehow she had to get to where we saw her, "the Earthling commander explained and the visual evidence was enough for everyone to believe it. "Well, since we know the cause of it all, our deepest apology is in place," I said like the right king. "It goes without saying that an apology alone is an insufficient means of redressing this mess that has occurred. With the promise that my troops will no longer attack, we will help bring this planet back to life. "I finished my diplomatic words toward my opposite commander.

"The past cannot be changed and since we want nothing more than peace, I accept your offer. But there are a few conditions, "said the small figure opposite me." I'm listening, "I nodded that I understood and waited for him to come out. "The first is that you will bring all your people to Earth. I've seen the state of the kingdom lying on the moon and it's definitely no longer a place to live. After all, we are to blame for the fact that it was destroyed. The second condition is that we learn to live in harmony as the only population on Earth. Which means that the human race will share its art and your race will share its own. There will be no differences between us. Everyone will have the same rights and obligations, "the leader of the other party concluded his monologue for a moment.

I remained silent for a moment to discuss all his words. It all sounded logical and, in fact, advantageous to our situation. The kingdom would not have been reconstructed because the damage was too great and the offer of my people to live here on Earth was a damn big reason for me to agree. "Are there any other conditions or something?" I asked before expressing my opinion on the situation. "Actually, there's something else but it's not a condition," the green-eyed young man smiled a little. I urged him to finally comment. We don't have all day

"I would be honored if you became my partner for the rest of your life."
