Timeline: MD001 1300 Hours
Her best bet was to learn everything she could about this place, and try to plan her escape. First she needed to escape this place.
She kept wondering how much longer would she have to walk, before they reached their destination. The walk seemed to go on forever. But eventually Nassie walked to a door.
She took a deep breath, as she felt a sudden rush of relief. She was starting to understand, what she had to do to survive here. She knew she had long ways to go.
May 28 2394 1300 hr (relative time)
Elloma felt that she was on a journey, she knew she was living someone's life. The name may be the same, but she was not a metamporph, but then again she was. It was very strange. She knew she was imposter. Yet she wondered what it would be like to be the metamorph.
Elloma was looking at her life through a new pair of eyes, and grateful for her life back in her universe. In her universe she was alienated and rejected. She had rejected the life of a noble person. And joined Starfleet against her parents wishes.
But it was clear in this universe she did not become a starfleet officer, and she was not a simple diplomat either. The people here looked to her as some saviour. She knew the ancient traditions of a Krios Metamorph.
Deep down she never believed they would be the answer. But her opinion was now open to re evaluating that. She was on a short pause, she walked out to her patio up in her office.
She allowed the warm sun to strike her face. She felt a moment of pause. She could hear the birds singing in the background, and felt a gently breeze. The moment was pure serenity she thought.
As she stood there for a moment. Elloma looked in the distance and could see the hills in the outskirts of the city. They looked so peaceful and welcoming. Unlike this place.
She would love to vanish into the hills and forget about this life. She had only been here a half day and already hated the attention she was getting.
Elloma wondered how she could get out of this? She realized she did not like the attention she was getting from the universe. She wondered why she was the metamorph here and not in her own reality?
Elloma closed her eyes, and allowed the warm sun to beat down on her face. With her eyes being closed, she allowed her imagination to get the best of her. The sun was reminding her of a time, not to long ago on Earth.
During leave, while at the Academy Elloma went to visit Sedona. What a magical place she thought. She remembered there was no clouds in the sky most of the day, but at night the clouds came in and were colored in vibrant colors of red, orange and yellow along with white. It was amazing site.
She remembered how beautiful it was. She hoped the next time she went to Earth, she would be albe to take Tyler to Sedona, assuming his wife Kat would say yes.
Sedona was was hot and the ground was dry, not a drop of moisture in the air. The dessert air was intoxicating, and she believed that the air was full of sound and love, and shared this with anyone who comes to visit. She wished more than anything, she could be there right now.
In the dessert and in that place, she was just another piece of the puzzle. Another part of world. No one knew her name there, no one to look up to her. She did not have to be referred as your Eminence, she hated that phrase.
Elloma felt a arm touch her shoulder. "Do we have to go back?" She asked, assuming Nassie would be greeting her.
"It's time." Said Nassie, as she expected Elloma to follow her.
"Wait a minute." Said Elloma, as she opened her eyes and stayed near the edge of the balcony.
Nassie was surprised that Elloma did not follow her inside, she walked to the ledge. She was now standing next to the ledge. "What's on your mind?" Asked Nassie, as she hoped Elloma would open up to her.
"I want to take a trip." Elloma said as she looked to Nassie, to see how she was going to respond.
"Where do you want to go." Nassie asked.
"Earth." She said, deciding to keep out the Sedona part.
"Why do you want to go there?" Asked Nassie, a little confused why Elloma wanted to go to Earth. She had never heard of Elloma asking to go to that worthless rock before.
"I am not sure, I feel a pull to go there. I can not explain it." Elloma said, she tried her best not to show her sister that she was lying to her.
She was hoping to find someone in Starfleet to help her get back to her own reality.
Elloma hoped her diplomatic status and her title of Metamorph had enough power and influence to get her to Earth. Elloma looked to Nassie, waiting to see what she was going to say.
