Re: The Next Adventure - Part One
Lucinda looks startled as she turns her attention to Robert, and she focuses on his face for a moment. "You are probably distantly related, but yours no es the people I'm speaking about."
"My mother's name was Wilder," Louis explains, "and she was Meghan's aunt."
"And, my father and mother were third cousins," Meghan supplies.
"Exactamente," Lucinda nods. "The story starts at the end of 1503. A comet passed by Venus, the Moon, Earth and Mars, we think, after breaking up close to the Sun. Pieces, or Shards, as we call them, came down on Earth, and we believe, on Mars, Venus, and the Moon."
"Over the years since, twenty of these Shards have been found, that we know of, on Earth. The odd part is that the finders were only young women. After finding the Shards, they and their female children developed extraordinary abilities, including telekenesis and high abilities in mathematics. There are many abilities, esos son solo ejemplos."
"These women's descendants have formed into ocho familias. All but two families are committed to keep the existence of the Shards secret, and to help their young women to manage the abilities bestowed by the Shards. The leading families in this effort are the Wilders and the Takadas."
"The other two families, the Darlingtons and the Forbes', are dedicado a gaining control of more Shards. We don't know what they intend to do with them, but, given their past actions, it won't be good."
"We know that two Shards have been discovered on Mars, and one on Venus. My cousin and I came here when we heard that a group from the Darlingtons was viajando aquí. Yenay and I were shopping for supplies, when two men and a woman took her. I recognized the woman as one of the agents for the Darlingtons, and I had also been told that Meghan was here. So, I have come para su ayuda."
