Planet X Pandora

Remember Who You Are

Luke tossled in his slumber, the depressing thought of what happened to his father not letting him sleep. They killed him.
But soon, the weariness of the day caught up to him, and he slowly succumbed. But his troubled sleep was picked on by a nightmare.

*****************************************

A shaggy cliff rose above the dark ground, its black mountain rock covered in shadow and mist. Atop the edge of the cliff, stood a figure. A graceful women, her eyes gold, and luscious dark hair spun with the moonlight. A long, silken, midnight blue dress was draped around her perfect body. It was very easy to miss the small bundle in her arms. Next to her stood, a taller, more menascing shape, covered in shadow. His muscular, broad shoulders showed command and authority.

" Lemkova, my dear. I am sorry. " the male figure said.

" You haven't, nothing to apologize for, Rubius. No one is to blame. We did not expect twins. "

" And so you are right. Lemkova, we only wanted a son. And it all happened accordingly. He was born under the stars of war and death. Like we wished. "

" He will be a merciless heir. " The women agreed, looking down at the dark planet below.

" And for that I am proud. But this pest, " the man said disdainfully, looking at the bundle in the women's arms, " we weren't expecting two. If he too was born under the same stars, it would have been fine. "

" No. No it wouldn't. He would have held as a threat to the first born. We can't have that. Besides, because he was late, the stars shifted. They shifted for the better. He was born under the stars of healing and white magic. Now he never will pose a threat to Xander. "

" True. We shall send Xander to train with my brother. My brother is skilled in the dark arts, and he is born with the same signs. Xander will learn well. "

" Good. Now what about this one? " the women asked heartlessly.

" Leave him. Somewhere far from here. "

" Why not kill him? If he's not alive, then the prophecy....."

" You have a point. But I shall not have him killed on Xanders day of birth. The bad energy might affect him. "

" As you wish, Rubius. "

And the heartless mother tossed her second son into the dwindling planet below.

Luke sat up with a jolt. His breathe came in rapid gasps, and sweat lined his forehead. What the hell was that? He stood slowly, not wanting to disturb the others. He decided to go to the lake that they camped by and get some air. Lost in his own thought, he didn't hear the footsteps behind him. He crouched at the edge of the small lake, and splashed the icy cool mountain water into his sweat drenched face. At the snap of a twig, he whipped around and got to his feet. Staring right back at him was him. Or at least someone that looked exactly the same. Except for the small scar on Luke's wrist, they are identical.

" Wh- who are you? What do you want? " was the first thing Luke said.

The other guy chuckled.

" Oh, Luke. My dear brother, you never change, do you? Always surrendering. Never want to fight. "

" Who the hell are you? How do you know my name? "

" Ahh. Silly questions. How about you ask the important ones? "

Luke gulped, then straightened up.

" Whoever you are and whatever you're trying to do, it's not working. "

" I'm not trying to do anything. Oh Jesus, now I see why mother left you. "

" Mother? What are you, crazy? "
Luke to back away from the lunatic, but there was nowhere to go.

" Dam. There's a lot you must remember. I suppose you've had the dream I sent you? "

" What dream? " Luke lied.

" Well, you are one horrible liar. "

" Get away from me, you psycho. "

At that insult, the calm boys demeanor vanished and his nostrils flared.

" Psycho?! How dare you! I am Xander, son of Rubius and heir to the dark arts, born under the stars of war and death. Don't try me! " he fumed.

Luke was jolted by the mention of the names in his dream, but waved it off for the moment.

" And that makes you special because.....?"

The other boy calmed himself.

" Our mother wanted you dead the minute you were born. Our father said no. She wanted you dead when you turned of age. I said no. So don't think that you can just forget. Because you'll always be one of us. You're not Pandorian, no matter how much you want to believe it. You will always be an Elondite. "

" Did you drink? "

" No. " he spat.

" You sure? "

" Mother is calling. I will be back. Don't forget who you really are. "

And just like it appeared, the figure vanished. What the hell is going on?

Luke trudged back to camp, and sat down. His mind was wondering over the figure and the dream, and he started doubting if what he knew about his origins were true.
