RECAP: He swore under his breath and looked me square in the eye, taking a deep breath he said, “I think it’s time I tell you who you really are Zeus, who your real family are, what they are, what you are.”

            I sat in the loveseat next to Christie, a cup of hot chocolate. If there’s anything I learned from hot chocolate it’s that my Dad only makes it for me when something’s very important.

            Taking a seat across from me my fathers eyes shifted uncomfortably to Christie, he cleared his throat, “Christie, I think you should head back to school. This is a family matter.”

            “She’s staying” I said flatly, “She’s part of this family, and I know she is burning up with curiosity, just as I am, about what the heck is going o.”

            I saw a small smile cross Christie’s smile, but I kept my eyes locked with my fathers, which looked like they were trying to persuade me to get rid of Christie. Pinching the bridge of his nose, my Dad looked away from my stare. “Zeus, I can’t bring Christie into this, she won’t have a normal life if she’s here to hear this.”

            “I don’t care, I know this has to do with Josh, Josh knows Zeus tells me everything. So I’m already in this, now explain” Christie replied coolly.

            I smiled, I loved how Christie spoke her mind freely like that. Shaking his head my father put his hands up, “Fine, fine.” He sighed, “Where to start? I guess I should start with I’m not your real father Zeus, though I know your father very well.”

            “What?” I gasped, “You’re my father, it’s on my birth certificate! Wait, did you adopt me?”

            Dad-I mean Rick, his real name, laughed, “No, I didn’t adopt you. And for the birth certificate, that’s fake.”

            “Fake?” Christie cut in.

            “Will you two let me explain, I’ll answer your questions when I finish explaining” he said irritably. Christie and I quickly nodded, hungry for more information. “Zeus, you are royalty, you are the crowned Prince, next in line to take the thrown-”

            “Lucky” Christie murmured, getting a glare from Rick.

            “But that isn’t as important as to where you are Prince to. Zeus, know be open-minded, there are two domains. The first is the Earth domain, which we are presently on. The second is called the Sky Domain. There are two ways to get to and from each domain. The first is the sun, if someone road a spaceship into the sun they would come out into the sky domain, the same thing applies to the moon.”

            “Now the sky domain is very different from the earth domain, the sky domain has better air, and instead of countries there are empires. You may think the sky domain is primitive, but no we are very advanced compared to the earth domain. We just decided a dynasty was the easier way to go.”

            “Now there are six empires, Ironhead, Cladstone, Rosetta, Goldcrown, Blackthourne, and Pallasathea. You are the Prince of Pallasathea. Ironhead is our biggest enemy and we have been warring against them for ages. That is why Josh attacked you.”

            I stared at him blankly. I mean what was I supposed to say? I guess Christie didn’t have that problem because after a moment she asked, “If you enter through the moon and sun to get to the Sky Domain, then how did the U.S. make it to the moon?”
