I received more memories and they make me question the reality of this even more.

I was a princess. Of a country called Monsea - which is my real last name.

And my father - in these memories, not my father right now - was a terrible person who has powers, like a superhero (I guess that makes him a supervillain).

But I lived in a medieval like castle.

Quite frankly, I'm expecting a dragon to show up.

[neverjedi]

Yes. If you add in my space travel and aliens it seems even less likely to be 'real'.

[ashenscipher]

Aliens?! How is that even possible?

They must think we are morons for believing the 'past life' explanation.

[neverjedi]

Aliens, alien planets, space travel far beyond anything even remotely possible, so far as I know.

If they think we're morons - let them.

[ashenscipher]

Good point.

But I have to ask, what were the aliens like?

[neverjedi]

...Floppy and warbly.

[ashenscipher]

Is that it?

You ever notice how sci-fi shows make aliens very human-like? But in nature, we have the primate phylum, but from there, animals branch out drastically.

[neverjedi]

Oh. Aquatic. Ish?

Or very, very short and green.

Or -

You realize I'm a professional ice skater, right?

[temptationaccomplished]

Didn't a young man have a memory with a dragon? I haven't heard from him in a while, but I seem to recall... Anyway, yes. The fantasy elements are getting out of hand. I was in a magic school in some of mine, and my new snake was supposedly a familiar.

[ashenscipher]

Yes, Merlin. I haven't seen him in a while.

Magic... isn't real. And neither are superpowers.

[temptationaccomplished]

Right, yes. I do hope he's alright. Weren't there rumors a while back about disappearances or some such? And of course those crime shows would have one believing all kinds of dreadful fates could befall a person around here.

And no, nor are past lives. Of course the temptation that they could be that is enough to keep many of us pursuing answers.

[ashenscipher]

There was?

I didn't know about that rumor.

[temptationaccomplished]

Back in late February, I believe it was. It circulated the support group briefly but I admit I was still too new to know anything about it.

...Probably nonsense, really.

[ashenscipher]

Interesting. Maybe it is nothing.

But I should keep note of this.

[traceofeffort]

A castle and powers on your end, Elliott has the world tree, someone was talking about a dragon before... It is kind of a lot to take in, yeah? I'm just looking in from the outside but it still feels a little weird.

[ashenscipher]

And another said they have aliens in their memories!

[traceofeffort]

Well, sure, that's par for the course, then. Wanna trade? I haven't had anything more serious than fighting with my friends. Not actual fighting, just arguing and telling her to get on my level.

This is so unbalanced.

[ashenscipher]

I would willingly trade. I don't like these memories of this supposed father of mine. Blagh.

[traceofeffort]

I'm sorry. That sounds like it's a lot to deal with.

[A beat. The idea that comes into her mind sounds stupid to her, and yet...]

...so if we're all getting memories or visions or whatever, and Anakin got his feelings-thing, and I got earrings... do you think eventually Monsea will appear in our world? There's kind of a progression, right?

[ashenscipher]

The whole country?

[serpentinthegarden]

You were a Princess? Should we all start addressing you as Her Royal Highness?

[ The words were light, merely teasing. ]

Monsea does sound like one of those strange fantasy worlds especially with the castle, evil wizard King and everything. Any idea where this Monsea actually was? Germany has a lot of castles.

[ashenscipher]

Please do not call me that. I am definitely not a princess. At least in this life.

"Monsea" was never a country in Europe.

[serpentinthegarden]

I know that, I've been to Europe.

[ Unless it had been some small little out of the way place that was no longer a thing. This was thought but not added to the conversation. ]

I meant did you get a sense of whether Monsea was an island, or a country... maybe an entire world?

[ashenscipher]

Oh, sorry, I misunderstood.

The Monsea in my dreams was a country bordered on the west, north, and east by mountains, and a sea to the south. I got the impression there were other countries nearby.

My mother was from some island country to the west.

[serpentinthegarden]

Sounds vaguely like Italy.

And... how did you know your father was a wizard? Did he do some magic in your dream?

[ashenscipher]

The icy bogs and harsh winters make me believe it is decidedly not Italy.

My father in my memories was also not a wizard. I meant what I said about it being more like superpowers. There were no rituals, spells, wands, potions, familiars - nothing at all even vaguely akin to western magic lore.

But he had the power to make people believe and do anything he said. The power was called a grace.
