Good children, I'm sorry I've mislead you so. I have wanted to tell you, but if I did you would have never come to save me. You're not completely from me. None of you. Long ago, their was a planet called Earth. I was the Mother Nature there before I was the White Queen. The Red Queen was the Mother of Darkness, an anti-nature. And the Knight is the faithful follower of the winds. This 'Earth' was slowly dying, because Red had given the mortals too many ideas on Darkness, and concrete substituted life. The mortals then went to war for the last peice of land that hadn't been effected. Before the planet was consumed by the Swarm, since it was attracted to Red's darkness, I saved you five. I took you and raised you in secret when your planet was destroyed. I placed you within my heart and kept you there until the moment was right. You were heroes on your old homeworld. I kindled your heroism into a burning inferno. When I was embodied into the White Queen, you were my back-ups in case I would fall, so the dimensions would not fall into darkness, and you could make a last stand.

A creature with pech-no, a HUMAN-came from the very light of the Core, her hair bright ligh curling around her face. She touched our heads, and bodysuits of white appeared on us as she turned us to human forms. I remembered everything. Not of Earth, but Lily and I...

I throw my arms around her, and she does the same. I put my head to hers and look into her eyes. She grins and places a kiss on my nose. We are interrupted. The walls around the Core Chamber break, and Swarm reaches out in branches. I see the Red Queen stand on a branch. It extends until she is facing her sister. "Hello, Nature. You and your heroes are damned." She floats into the air and turns into a bright red silhouette. The Swarm, all of it, fills the Chamber as it goes in the Red Queen. Black Swarm Armor, Shield, and a Broadsword appear on her as the last dissipates. She swings her sword and an Eye opens on it. The Master's Eye.

I summon a thorn and glare at him. And then at her. I float up, channeling my inner strength, and point my thorn at her. A jelly sword materializes into Prince's hand. The Roarmulous Sister readies her gun. We're ready to fight.

Almost instantly, the two others are killed. A Swarm tentacle flies at me. I scream for the loss of my friends and block the Swarm. It burns as it touches my blade. More come at me from the sword, all blocked. Red attacks. She swings the sword, cutting me repeatedly until I fall to the ground. Lily runs over to me and tears fall down her face onto my cuts, healing them. Red tries bringing the sword down on Lily's head, but Lily stares up at them, and the sword screams and retracts. I am already back up now. A girl, no older than eleven, appears in front of me, her hair gold, her shield a simple floating hologram over her wrist, her Vorpal Sword in hand. "Become the Great Snarbolax, Seatus, and help us all..." she touches my chest, and Dragon Wings rip from the back of my bodysuit. Horns protrude from my head, and my tail appears, stronger. My new body extensions are white and red, that of a purified Snarbolax. I nod, and as she disappears, I fly at Red.

I swing my white and red thorn now, a d cut her. She squeals in agony as the cut shines with light, and I attack her some more. No one will harm Lily. No one. No one. I swing the blade down and knock Red to the ground. She backs away to the wall and disappears, leaving a huge gaping hole in the wall. I drop to the floor and run to Lily. I hug her close, and she cries on my shoulder. I kiss her neck, and tell her it's all right. I pull her to the ground and am cuddled to her back. I lay me head on her shoulder and whisper promise after promise that she will be safe. She will be safe. The blood of our friends drip on the walls. I cry a little too. But I continue kissing her neck, telling her they are in a better place.

When we wake up, my extensions have disappeared, and the hair on my head is back to black and red. Wait. Lily isn't in my arms. I stand up, and see her standing above the balcony of the Core, a bright light enveloping her. I run over, my eyes squinting. "Lily! Lily, careful!" She turns around, tears in her eyes. "I have to do this," she whispers, "to save everyone..." My eyes widen. "Lily, no, you don't have to do this, please listen..." she sobs some more, "They'll come back! I can't let them hurt you!" I respond, "I don't want them to hurt you!" I run at her, and try to grab her and throw her out of the way to give my life to saving Alice instead of her life. She is suddenly gone when I get there...and the light shuts instantly. "LILY!!!" I scream, "LILY!!!" I scream and scream and scream, my voice raw, but I continue throughout the cold night falling upon the Clockworks. For many levels, all could hear me. All could here me. Everyone. I screamed her name, holding myself tight. She'll come back...I know, somehow she will meet me back. I keep my eyes on the Core and stare at it, waiting for her to come out. "Lily..." I say weakly. Silence follows. I am skinny to the bone from days of not eating. I hold myself....

So I'm preggo? NO!

I am actually writing this at a very fine desk. The Spiral Order promoted me to Vanguard once they heard my tale of power, and wanted me to write it down in their archives...

That's why this shadow copy is hear ;P
