Two years ago I bought a game in a videogame shop called "Canadian" here in Spain. That game, of course, was Lunar: The Silver Star. I don't know why I bought that game, it was really different from other games I had seen, its anime graphics, its perfect soundtrack, and it was really cheap, less than 60$, even cheaper than most European games, and they give me for free the adapter for American and Japanese SegaCD games. So I bought it. (Thanks Goddess Althena)

After two days playing it, my fingers were glued to the pad. I could only think, eat, breathe, and even dream about Lunar. I say "even dream" because I dreamt that night one thing that I'll remember always...

I wrote what I dreamt the day after that night and now it is what I'm going to tell you (this was written originally in Spanish so forgive me if the story sounds a little strange... I'll do my best to translate it into English).

"All was dark and no one was there. No Gods, no people, no matter... Emptiness was the only thing that I could see... The time hadn't been created so nothing changed at all. But suddenly a light appeared from nowhere and all places. It was a feeling of power and pity. The light grew stronger and in few moments, darkness died fulfilling all with a pure light. In that moment I knew that it has to be Goddess Althena.

The light turned in human form and I saw the most beautiful lady with shinning light around her. Goddess Althena had been born from nothing and she was now the only being in an eternal universe of light.

Time didn't seem to pass that moment. And after she looked far and near, I felt a feeling of solitude inside her. She felt alone in one unlimited universe and due to this she cry five tears from her all-and-no-one-color eyes. Yes, her eyes were at the same time green, black, brown, blue, white, red and uncolored (I don't mean white I want to say without color, I don't know how to explain this better...)

After an unending falling, one holy tear fell over my head and after that she said to me: "You have been chosen, you now have become one of the five elementalors who will protect Lunar... Your power will be water... But you're too cold-hearted to become the water elementalor, so your name will be Iceberg and you'll live as ice until you found true love and pity... Meet your companions and learn how they are... This message has to be known by all in Lunar faith..."

The other tears began glowing and turned into human form. But their power was much greater than mine was. They were the elementalors of earth, air, fire and ether. Earth elementalor was called GaiaQuake (this name is the same in the dream, which happens all in Spanish). He was a young man with brown skin, green hair like grass, tall and strong, with some kind of staff with one rock in the top and a light-brown robe.

The elementalor of air was a woman called CalaiStorm. She could transform herself in wind, quick and silent as light. Her skin was very bright, nearly blue, but she was really beautiful. She was thin and her hair blue as sky in twilight. She had a whistle made from a strange metal that could evaporate when she wanted...

The elementalor of fire was a young teenager called FocFlare. She was really tall (I thought nearly seven feet tall) due to her red-orange-yellow hair. It was more that one foot long and rose up to the sky like fire in one dark night. All her body was only covered by a red flame that dressed her as eternal element. She had a star over her hair that was always with her and helped her with ethereal flames.

The last elementalor was different from the rest of us. Inside him/her (he/she was the joined spirit of all the other elementalors and its sex was undefined...) I could see lots of images that I couldn't recognize. In fact it didn't have any body, unless you call body to some kind of power spirit... You could feel its presence, but you have to feel it inside you, in your mind, like trying to see inside yourself...

Then Althena created Lunar and the Blue Star with the help of the elementalors that gave their power to build Althena's dream..."

|Part 2: My meeting with Althena Herself|

-------------------------------------------------------

"Lunar universe had begun and, life was growing both in quality and quantity... But, suddenly, I saw myself teleported to an ice palace (as seen in Eternal Blue...) All palace was ice, but I felt no cold as I could remember. The thing that impressed me the most was some kind of presence at the main door of the palace that guided me through the maze of corridors, all full of statues of the four heroes of the past in all positions. At last, the presence and I arrived to a huge room with a representation of the image that affected deeply Lunar world...

It was like a picture in 3D but no laser or other technology was used for this. Over a platform that shone as fire I could see a static image of the battle of Dyne versus the insane Black Dragon. Dyne was using his DragonMaster powers for stopping the Black Dragon who was devastating the frontier... Peace was reflected in Dyne's face, as if he assumed the sacrifice he was offering to her Goddess... Ghaleon was too in that image with a disturbing expression but I also felt inside him a feeling like he wanted answers for that...

Althena was in a cloud, crying for what Ghaleon was going to do, as she was praying for that soul, once pure... In that moment, one voice sounded inside both my mind and heart... "Ghaleon, Goddess Althena will be always with you, no matter what you do, I'll be waiting you forever... When your heart find peace and answers, my love will return to your heart..."

Then, I saw Althena seated in a diamond throne, but there was something that surprised me: Althena was several times bigger than myself, and I felt tempted about sitting on her lap... As if She had read my own thoughts, in that moment I was over her lap (and holding me so dear, remember?) Her beauty blinded me, little by little I understood why her statues was turned in Lunar... Her words were enigmatic for me:

"Iceberg, now you have seen how Lunar was created, while there's people who believe in my world, there'll be no problems. Your dreams and fantasies will make Lunar world richer and more varied. Inside the heart of you and of lots of humans on Earth (but in my heart is near...) Lunar really exists. It's enough you spread your experiences... Lunar is a healthy, happy and model world. Good and evil coexist here better balanced than in your world.

I have admitted you here as elementalor, but your powers won't be full until, as I told you, you find true love and pity. (Althena winked at me in that moment <|;->)

You'll find more people to talk about Lunar that will help you improve your experiences, but you should look for pity and love by yourself.

I'll show to you more times, so you will be able to say you really know me...

Even you'll find other people I have revealed to, but that will be later..."

Inside my head hundreds of questions rushed, but it was as I can't frame them... It was as words didn't want to go through my mouth... I couldn't speak...

"Spain won't be where you'll find your travel companions... If Lunar helped you improving your English, you must continue improving it, for contacting with my followers in the rest of the world... Remember Lunar depends on you all. We'll see later, Elementalor Iceberg"
