[Setting: mysterious futuristic place]

"How can I trust you?" Tori said. "You're just a hologram I met a few minutes ago!" "Because I knew your mother personally." Bright Faith replied. "What do you mean knew? " Tori questioned. "She grew older. Now she is ruling the Moon Castle of Tivicar." Bright Faith said. "How come I've never been there then?" Tori asked. "Query not detected." Bright Faith said, emotionless. "DON'T AVOID THE QUESTION!" Tori shouted angrily. "The answer, that is for you to figure out, Tori Clayton." Bright Faith said. "It's Tori, and where do I find this... Moon Castle?"

I'm the queen's daughter!" Tori burst. "Say it to the queen, kid." the other guard said. The guards stomped up the stairs and dropped her on the platform below Queen Saige's throne. "What is your purpose for trespassing?" Queen Saige stormed, with a face of anger. "Please, you have to listen! I'm your daughter! Bright Faith told me!" Tori pleaded with tears in her eyes. "Bright Faith... told you?" Queen Saige was obviously pondering while she said this. "Yes! Do you remember?" Tori asked hopefully. "I-I remember..."
