2. Back at home, Dusk and Dawn start talking to each other about what happened the other night. They lay on their beds in the purple and gold covered palace of the Nokinian Royalty, which sits in the middle of the royal city of Jaro.
"Dusk..." Dawn, while holding a book she was reading to keep her time, goes on to say, "before I strangely woke up, I heard the voice of a young man, sounding like he was laughing in my ear, it sounded familiar to me, but I can't put my finger on who it was."
"Maybe it was the dragon." He says this, then he starts chuckling.
"This isn't funny Dusk, I'm serious."
Dusk sits up from Dawn's seat, which he sat on while reading the book with her, saying, "I know,” he sighs, “I'm so confused about it that I have to use laughter, even to me there is something off about this whole thing, even before we went to the island, I've been seeing strange things."
"Like what things?" Dawn says, completely invested.
"I can't explain it, but...Like dreams or visions, stuff that doesn't fit into what I say outside of the palace."
"Have you heard the voice as well?" Dawn sits closer, internally hoping that he has.
"No...But I've seen these ghostly looking creatures, they were tall and gray, and they would come out of fog and walk towards what feels like me, then I would either just wake up, or the vision would go away completely."
"That's so strange, it all leads up to why our hair even changed?" Dawn feels her hair again, still amazed by it.
"I kind of like the hair, dark brown and gold is a match that is not appreciated much."
Dawn smiles a little at Dusk, but then looking down to the sacred book about Southern Island, Dawn says softly, "but, who was that? Why did I recognize the voice..."
*The sound of Marlo and Suna talking becomes louder in the other room*
"They're talking about us aren't they?"
"Well Dawn, they're talking about you, and something about those crystals."
"Crystals? Wait? Dusk? Do you think we might be one of the warriors? Talked about in this book?" She taps the book.
"Huh?"
"Well, we've grown up, being believed to be one of them, and...These crystals we've seen before, I just don't know what could be bringing multiple versions of the same crystals?"
Dawn stands up after saying this.
"Well Dawn, I pretty much believed it this whole time, I thought you did too? I just didn't think it would occur so...Early?"
"Dusk what? Why didn't you at least remind me?"
"It's not something I should remind you about, we’ve been reading the book together?"
Dawn rolls her eyes and crosses her arms, then she smiles while saying, "It would be a blessing though, would it not?"
Dusk sighs, hearing her change the subject, "It would, plus I've been seeing gold colored crystals in the village, but no one else noticed."
"Yes! Every other day, I've been seeing this pink crystal, changing skies, and it's been awfully windy lately."
"I was acting as if you didn't know this whole time?"
"Well, now we both realize that it is indeed true, so we don't have to be scared about it anymore."
Hyping each other up about this, they continue to talk about it.
Then look at each other, looking through each other's eyes, they can see the crystals so clearly inside their pupils.
With them pointing at what looks to be the crystal through them.
"Your eyes have the..." They say to each other, at the same time.
Their eye colors even become a dark blue, even though none of their people have even seen this eye color, then their eyes flash back to brown.
While this is happening, Marlo suddenly comes into their room with his guards, saying to his children, "I knew you two were still up, Dusk, go back to your room."
"You and mother talking kept us up." Dusk honestly states while walking over to his father.
Marlo brushes his words off, saying, "I'm sorry, but since it is happening now, your mother and I have some planning to do." He says this while making sure that they will get to sleep.
"Are you okay father? You look shaken, and usually mom waits for us to sleep."
"Well she's pregnant and is not feeling well, so she needs rest right now."
"We understand father, I'll get to my room." Dusk walks over with his guards, ready to walk out, but Marlo stops him, then he starts hesitating before saying to them, "your mother and I really believe that you guys are the warriors of time, like your names for an example. We enforced this due to what Suna experienced with her pregnancies with you two. Our Creator is so amazing to show us that way, so we are having you guys prepare yourselves as usual, but it seems that since you guys are still so young, it can be hard to understand.”
“You guys definitely have it, it's there - your power, your strength, your courage, and we really need to prepare you guys, because the one you lack is belief, especially you Dawn, you have to be strong about this. If you guys continue to believe, you won't be falling off this bad, and yet again, Suna and I should have told you a little earlier, but, we are now, so we will start on it."
Dusk starts saying, "trust me, father, we will not let this just go, we will get away, Dawn and I both know now that we must remain strong and content on this path, because after all, it's to save our lives."
"I know you are very strong and mature with this, Suna and I know, so what happened at the island is a sign, maybe a test for you two."
"But, that dream we had?" Dawn questions.
"Yes, a sign for the both of you, the crystals, it's all going to come soon, especially since you both know now. Our Creator has picked you guys both since birth, and He knows his people, so now is the time to fulfill, okay?"
They both nod with understanding.
"Great, now go to sleep you two, you can stop worrying now." Marlo leaves them as Dawn's maidens come into her room, helping her go to sleep.
With this, Dusk walks out to his room with his guards, and they help him go to sleep as well.
The both of them, now having to prepare for their newly understood destiny.
