On their way there, wherever there was, Lin started to nod off. She was currently riding the triceratops with the three little girls. The dinosaur was three meters tall and nine meters long. The group's speed, was neither slow, nor fast, but the triceratops movement was relaxing, and before she knew it, Lin had already fallen asleep. Eve and Lilith were holding her steady, while Pandora was their navigator. Following them, were the two brothers Attar and Orion, with Castor and Pollux in the back.

Attar: “Hey bro! Wait up! Why the long face?”

Orion: “It's nothing, don't mind me.”

Attar: “It's not nothing. Come on, are you still sore?”

Orion: “No, I'm fine!... I mean how could she do this? Didn't she feel it when our eyes met? It couldn't have been my imagination now, could it?”

Attar: “I don't know. Her attire doesn't match anything in the records, and you know “Akasha”, is the biggest collection of knowledge in three galaxies. Also, her nanites, they do indicate she is from Earth, but unlike ours, hers are old. Her genetic records say, she has hundreds of generations with dormant nanites, and each generation was around her age, when having the next.”

Orion: “That's strange. When our eyes met, I definitely felt she was the one for me, and no amount of force could tear us apart. I KNOW my nanites resonated with hers... Ugh! I am such an idiot! I've never been so impulsive in my life. Why couldn't I stop myself... There must have been some kind of mistake, she clearly didn't feel the same way... But if there was a mistake, then why can I feel what she is feeling. I can clearly tell you, that she was stressed out, but now she is finally relaxed enough to fall asleep.”

Castor: “Sounds about right, your highness. What you described, is exactly how me and Pollux felt, when we first laid eyes on each other.”

Orion: “I told you before, STOP calling us highness. We are not on our mother's home planet, nor on our father's military-base planet. We are on OUR birth planet “Earth -the garden of heaven”.”

Pollux: “ Heh! You are the same as your mother, her highness “princess Yin”. She too prefers to go with her instincts. His highness prince Attar, takes after general Yang however, though the general does prefer fighting, rather than science.”

Attar: “Should you really be speaking that way to your masters children?”

Castor: “We're just teasing,your highness.”

Orion: “You think our aunts see it that way?”

Pollux: “NO! PLEASE don't mention this to those battle maniacs. Diana and Artemis will surely punish us for speaking in such manner!”

Attar: “He-he! Our father's subordinates, sure do love to fight. If I remember correctly, and I always do, they've won a hundred and one duels, out of a hundred and two, and that one time was pure luck.”

Castor and Pollux in sync: “Yeah! Yeah! Rub it in!”

All four men burst out in laughter!

The group was now approaching the cave city of the Ancestors. Before the entrance, were two warrior-women donning white attires, equipped with a Spear, a Flatbow, and a Xiphos, on each thigh:

“Halt! Who goes there?” said both in sync.

Castor: ”Who else? It's us. Step aside!”

Pollux: “Seriously, who else is there on this island?”

The two warrior women were named Diana and Artemis. They were the direct subordinates of General Yang, whom they had followed from Mars.

Attar: “Is mother here? She would wanna see this data!”

Diana: ”Her highness is in her laboratory, examining the new star data from last night.”

Artemis: “Your highness, you are awfully quiet.” she said turning to Orion, who at this moment was looking at the setting sun. “Did something happen?”

Pollux: “He got his pride shattered” he snickered.

Artemis: “WHO did it? WHAT exactly happened?”

Castor: “His highness finally bonded with someone.”

Pollux: “And she is one mysterious person.”

Diana: “Bonded with someone? Finally! We were beginning to worry his highness would be alone forever.”

Artemis: “How does his highness bonding with someone, relate to his pride being “shattered”? ”

Attar: “Well...”

Orion: “ENOUGH!... Huh... Girls, take her to the sleeping quarters meant for her. Brother, I leave figuring out her identity to you and mother. My Aunts, where is father at the moment?”

Artemis: “Sir! The General is currently at the tri-horn pen, training the babies.”

Orion: “Training?” his brow arching. “You mean playing, don't you! Seriously, for being the fiercest war-general, he sure does have a soft heart!”

Attar: “According to mother, it's what truly attracted her to him.” said grinning.

The three girls did as they were told. Lin was now half asleep, so she could walk on her own. However, on her fifth step, her legs gave out. She fell. But before hitting the ground, a large strong hand, was already holding her head. Faster than the speed of light, Orion had sensed Lin's loss of consciousness, crossed the few meters separating them, and was now holding her in his arms like a baby. With her like this, he was now headed to his chambers, followed by Attar.

Attar: “Big brother! How did you do that? No one, and I mean literally no one, has ever moved that fast.”

Orion: “I... I don't know. I just did.”

At the cave city of the Ancestors, there were many underground chambers, some on different levels. Orion was walking down a long path, with chamber-rooms on both sides. Their tradition was to assign a chamber to every bonded couple. As royals on their mothers side, and also as an adults, both Orion and Attar, each had their own chamber, which was eventually meant to be shared with their bonded person. As they were still children, Eve, Pandora and Lilith, still shared a single room. To get to the sleeping quarters, one had to pass through several corridors. The last was Castor and Pollux's quarters on the left, and Artemis and Diana's chamber on the right. Next were Yin and Yang's bedroom, opposite that of the girls. Attar's and Orion's bedrooms were the furthest.

Once there, Orion gently placed Lin on his bed. As she was now back asleep, he sat down next to her. Orion couldn't understand, how someone so different, odd and down right bizarre, could be so beautiful to him. Ever since their first gaze, he felt completely drawn to her. Her eyes, her hair, to him they were the most beautiful thing in the world. Her attitude towards him, was like a fresh breeze in the morning sun under a rainbow after a long, dark, cold night. Just as he was staring, a sudden urge came to mind. He bent down, but before his lips touched hers, the memory of a certain event came to mind. He flinched. Still drawn to Lin, Orion only kissed her on the forehead. At that moment, she mumbled something. He got up, went to the dresser, and took out one of his short robes. Since Lin was much smaller in size compared to him, he knew it would fit perfectly. Orion placed the robe at the foot of the bed, looked at the sleeping Lin, and smiled, before leaving the room.

On his way to see his father, he passed the girls, who were now on their way to see their new Auntie.

Orion: “Girls, let her sleep. She has had quite the ordeal today, and needs to rest.”

E,L&D: “Don't worry sir. We won't wake her up.”

Orion: “A-ha! You better not. Despite how things went down today, she is still my bonded person.”

Eve, Lilith and Pandora had wide grins on their faces.
