It all started with a superhero, one who vowed to help save the world and use her powers for good....But how can one keep a promise if they don't remember making it?
What happens when the lines to right and wrong blur? When promises have to be broke...

It's strange how much of a different person you can be in someone else's mind. You could do everything right and people can still class you as a villian. No matter how hard you try, sometimes you can't change that.
"Maliah."
"Maliah, over here." People shout from amongst the crowd. The night sky is dark, in contrast to the flashing lights of cameras surrounding me.
The interview went better than I could've imagined but there's just something that doesn't seem right and I can't quite figure out what.
Morana lied about a lot of things in the interview but one point she stayed consistent on was making change by helping save the planet from things like climate change. Sure, we can help slow it down to a certain extent but the way she was saying it seemed impossible to accomplish.
I have the feeling that there's something else going on and I'm going to get to the bottom of it.
I take a quick moment to decide what I'm going to do before dragging Niko back inside the building and shutting the door behind us so no unwanted guests join us or overhear our conversation.
"What's up, Blue?" Niko asks, concern laced in his voice.
"I need you to do something."
"What ever it is, I'll do it. Just tell me."
But what if it puts him in danger?
"Blue." He says, tilting my head back up so I'm looking him directly in his beautiful eyes. "Just tell me, please."
"I think Morana hiding something." I tell him.
"Well, we know that. She just lied her ass off on live tv."
"No." I pause. "I just- I have a really bad feeling that there's something more, something deeper that we don't know about."
"So what do you need me to do?"
I look down at his ring and almost immediately, he gets what I mean.
"You want me to search her mind?" He asks.
I nod.
"I'll do it."
"We need to play this smart though. She can't expect us coming otherwise she's more likely to strike us with her poison."
"Once I'm in her mind and bring forth memories, I can probably prevent that or hopefully at least." He states.
I nod. "We should follow her back to where she's staying, she won't expect that."
Niko nods.
"But how can we do it inconspicuously?" I question out loud.
"I know a guy." He says with his arms crossed and a smile on his face.
"Oh yeah?" I have a feeling I know who.
Niko seeks out Zayden who is, luckily, still here.
He confirms that he can send a dog to follow Morana and then said dog can lead us straight to her.
