      "Harm it is time." Stefan said as he and Mica walked out onto the tower balcony. The two were dressed alike in their royal attire. Thigh high leather boots, leather braies, silk shirt with long flowing sleeves that cuffed at the wrists, leather diamond studded vest that came to the hips, and a similar belt encircled their waists. Their whole attire like Harm's was a perfect white. Upon their heads sat a gold and silver mixed crown studded with diamonds. 'They are so handsome.' Harm admired. 'The envy of all Aria.' She looked across the land of the dark planet she referred to. Aria. Her beautiful planet with its gold seas, green sands, blue grass and trees, and black skies always showing the beauty of the universe. At the moment Harm could see the red, blue, and purple swirling mass of the Tefla universe, the shooting star belt with its comets shooting in all directions their gaseous tails following behind, and of course the two glowing orbs staring down upon Aria like eyes, Aria's twin moons Ilka and Lika.
"Yes it is beautiful." Mica said bringing Harm out of her reverie.
"Always a fascination for our little planet." Mica and Stefan nodded in agreement.
"Milady. Lords." A maid came in and curtsied."The ball is starting." The maid looked Harm from head to toe and smiled brightly."You look stunning milady." The maid said admiring Harm's royal dress. It was off-the-shoulder and made of the purist white silk. The dress and sleeves alike were long and flowing with diamonds. Her long waist length silver hair was curled loose down her back between her white feathered swan like wings. A similar crown like the one Mica and Stefan wore was atop her head "Shall we." Harm said intertwining her arms through her brothers. When they got to the ball it was already in full swing. People from across the universe had come. Dancers glided across the floor. The room was filled with colors. As the triplets walked to their thrones the crowd of dancers parted and all music stopped. As they made it to the front of the room, their parents, King Dare and Queen Shayla, enfolded their children proudly in their golden wings. Such beautiful gold signifying that they were the king and queen of Aria. Just as Harm, Mica, and Stefan possessed white wings signifying that they were the princess and princes of Aria. And the Arian people had wings of many colors. Blue, red, brown, black, ect. If something such as the king and queen passed on their position to their heirs or they died the new king and queens wings would turn gold. Though Arian scientist did not know how this occured the people of Aria accepted it.
Now the royal family stood in front of their people and visitors from other planets to celebrate the triplets birthday."Fellow Arians and guests," King Dare said in his strong voice"Welcome to the celebration of my three beautiful childrens changing of age. When the clock chimes 12:00 they shall be declared 18 and rightful adults. Your queen and I have come to a decision that has been voted upon and accepted by the council. As each one of our children find their lifemate they shall become the new kings and queens to rule alongside us and their fore mothers and fathers." Referring to the fact that all three children being heirs to the throne, They and their lifemates would all be kings and queens unlike earth where only one heir may rule.
The crowd cheered in agreement to the decision then all went silent as the clock started chiming off the seconds to midnight. When the bells started ringing that it was now midnight a huge roar came fromt he crowd and spread across the land. No one heard the explosions until they hit the ground brightly lighting up Aria. A guard ran into the ballroom and started screaming. "Attack! The Wrathee's are attacking!"
Mass panic spread as everyone started boarding spacecrafts and heading toward the safety of allied worlds. The royal ship had been destroyed in one of the major blasts upon Aria. Arian warriors were dispatched and now fighting the Wrathee's in great hordes. Somehow within mere minutes all Arian warships had been destroyed. The Wrathee's were on Arian soil and killing every survivor. The triplets watched as the Wrathee broke into the palace and slaughtered the king. Queen Shayla rushed her children up to the tower balcony. "My beauties." She said in sorrow. "You must live on. All Aria is now dependent on your survival."
Harm watched encircled by her brothers arms. "But mother we can fight. We can protect you.We're strong and have power."
"No my darling. Not strong enough. You are but a baby when it comes to power.As the centureis progress so shall you." Her mother pointed her septor that held all her power toward the triplets. It was a beautiful stick of the same gold and silver mixed stone that made up their crowns. Embedded at its tip was a rare jewel of almost clear crystal called a moon crystal. It was a very powerful crystal. A low humming came from the septor and gradually became louder. A glow came in time with the humming. Its light growing brighter as the hum grew louder. Soon the glow was surrounding Queen Shayla in an array of colors. She opened her eyes and looked upon her children for the last time. "You will not remember any of this life until the time is right. I am sending you to a safe place. A planet called Earth.Grow and be happy in your new lives. I love you all." With that the glowing mass of energy briefly went back into the crystal to gather. Then it shot out and surrounded the triplets. The Wrathee made it in time to see a big bright light with figures inside it. Then within seconds it disappeared. Queen Shayla, all her power and energy spent, fell dead at their feet.




Riddick woke from the intense dream to feel powerful, sharp tiger-like teeth clamped on his neck. He now knew who and what Harm was. He also knew she knew it. Harm was so strong that if she exerted enough pressure she could break his neck. But Riddick knew she wouldnt. He understood that he was her lifemate. He knew Arian women wer aggressive when it comes to their lifemate. The slightest hint of danger to their mate would make their predatory senses go wild. Even though from the dream or vision Arians seemed like gentle people but Riddick, now being part fo the Arian race, knew they were deadly predators. He could tell as wel as see the change in Harm. Her skin had changed from ivory to ice. Her blue eyes were now the lightest of blues. Her permed platinum hair had fully changed to a glistening silver. Her canines had become bigger, longer, and sharper. And her nails had turned to claws. She also now sported a set of huge, long feathery gold wings and a tail. Her wings wrapped protectively around Riddick. He could also feel the shear strength and power now flowing through Harm. He saw all the images that flowed through her mind as well as read her thoughts as he knew she could see into his too. He felt the gesture of domination relax from his neck.
*So this is who you are.*Riddick said into Harm's mind. *A queen of predators.*
*And you are my king. We are now lifemates. We share each others mind, body, heart, and soul. There can never be any secrets between us.* Riddick didnt exactly like the fact that someone knew everything about him. He also didnt like that somebody was dominating him. *You will have to get used to the fact that I know all about you. All you secrets. And as for dominating yes, you are mine. But your yourself clearly expressed that i was yours too. We are one and shall rule so.*
*I have no choice do i?*
*You made your choice when you took me.*
*Yeah i guess i did.*
*Hopefully Aria is still a planet and that there are still Arians alive.*
*There should be. Your people are very powerful and have many allies from what ive seen. Now that i am an Arian do i have the same powers?*
*You should. Just focus upon them and they shall come to you. Arians and the white tigers of earth are very similar. We are fashioned similar except for the wings, the human forms, and the powers of our people. I now understand my life on earth. I became wiccan as did my brothers because it is the closest thing to Arian power. We value the same sources. Land, water, fire, air. And when I was killed that was my destiny. My brothers will know this. The wonders i sawafter i was killed was actually the Arian sky. My foster parents and their death. It would explain the death of the king and queen. The thugs i believe signified the Wrathee. And this life nwo was my destiny to meet you. To find my love. My king.*
Riddick knew it all made sense. The puzzle was now coming together. The more Riddick thought on it the more he started to love his new sense of power. He was already a strong man and a predator, everything was just now more hightened beyond his human status. He suddenly heard a fluttering sound. It sounded so close but Riddick knew it wasn't.
*Get your clothes on. I thought I stopped this from happening but obviously it plans on playing out.*
*What?*
*Ali's about to die.*
So calm. Never known a sane woman so calm about death.
*Im an Arian. We live for centuries. We're like the vampires of earth fantasy. We live a very long time. We can live for millennims but eventually some get tired and decide they would like to movie on. So we take death calmly and lightly. It is nothing to us. We dont morn a passing because it is the choice of the person and we respect that choice.*
*And if their killed?*
*The same. It is to be.*
*No secrets.*
*None*
Right then Riddick heard a scream that was right at his ear.
*Tune it out.*
Riddick focused on hearing things defferently. It worked. Everything didnt sound so loud anymore. Harm changed back to her human form. Her and Riddick dressed quickly. Harm round a pair of Rayban wraparound dark sunglasses and put them on. Arians lived during the night. So their eyes were very sensitive to light. They normally sleep during the day but if they are up they have to wear some form of protection over their eyes. The two headed toward the Coring Room at a leisurely pace. When they got there they saw the body of Ali. His face was no more.
*Why would you want to save these people? Their gonna die anyway.* Riddick said.
*Well I have to at least try.*
*Your people dont care about death remember.*
A smile broke out across Harm's face. *So what else am I gonna do with my free time? And their your people too King Richard.*
"Why was this door chained up?" Shazza demanded. "Why the bloody hell would they lock themselves in like that?"
Fry glanced up and Johns followed her line of sight. He noticed Harm and Riddick. "Nice of you two to join us."
"Didnt think you were waiting up." Harm said sarcastically. She walked over to the coring shaft and looked down into the dark abyss. "Guess you know where the settlers are." Johns walked over,lit a flare, and threw it into the shaft. Everyone wathced as green light lit up the bottom. Bones were scattered all over the floor.
"Other buildings werent secure. So they ran here. Heaviest doors. Thought theyd be safe inside here. But..." Riddick looked down the coring shaft. "Forgot to lock the cellar."
Harm started to laugh softly."Just wait until the eclipse comes. Then we'll really have some fun. Get to meet the locals up close and personal. Like Ali did." Everyone was now staring intently at Harm.
Johns stepped forward."What do you mean eclipse? What eclipse? These things stick to darkness so if we stick to daylight we should be alright."
"22 years." Fry said looking at the coring samples.
"Wha...?" Johns looked over at Fry now getting irritated.
"These coring samples are dated. Last one was 22 years ago this month."
"Okay is that suppose to mean something Carolyn?"
"It means...it means she maybe right."
"No maybes about it."Harm said as she followed Fry out of the Coring Room toward the main building where the orrery was. Everyone gathered around as Fry started to automatically turn the planets. They all saw it. AT 22 it came into view. An immense ringed world that eclipsed all the 3 suns and plunged their planet into total darkness."An eclipse. Shes right." Fry whispered.
Harm looked up at Riddick who was smiling. "Your not afraid of the dark are you?"
