TTrill
Um, why did you all the way here from Earth to Meridian in your human form?
Well, believe it or not, we were looking for a history book.
TTrill
Hm, let me refill your drinks [She walks away]
[Eating] Why isn't anyone else eating?
Uh, Hay Lin, I think this may be all the food they had.
Kind of puts a lost essay into perspective.
[The Trill returns]
TTrill
When Phobos took the throne, a light went out over this land, our men jailed,our crops stolen, we have no security, nothing for ourselves but our dreams. I hear things working in the castle. I hear that Phobos has a sister on the other side.
TTrill
The true heir to the throne. They say she does not know her true identity or even that she was not born on Earth.
TTrill
What are you doing?
Your majesty, there's someone here I'd like you to meet. This is Trill. She works in your kitchen.
[Trill bows]
Under Phobos, she risked her life every day, bringing valuable intelligence...and the occasion hot meal to the Rebellion.
Yeah, she saved our lives at least twice.
And she must be rewarded.
TTrill
No, your highness, your coronation is reward enough.
Please, Trill. Let me give you something.
TTrill
I have one boon. Oh, it would give me great pleasure, if you would wear this.
[Trill shows Elyon a teardrop-shaped pendant]
TTrill
It is yours. It belonged to your mother, Queen Weira.
[Trill puts the necklace around Elyon's neck]
TTrill
When she died, I hid it from Phobos, hoping that one day...
Oh, Trill, thank you! I'll never take it off.
[In the castle, Trill is serving Elyon, Elborn and Miriadel. She notices the necklace she gave Elyon glint]
TTrill
Never mind. A trick of the light.
Tell me more about the jewel. What did it mean to my mother? And what were she and my father really like? Did they...love me?
Queen Weira and the Royal Consort Zadan loved you more than life.
You were the true jewel in their crown.
More! I want to know more!
MMiradel
Perhaps...there is a way.
[In Trill's memory, baby Elyon is crying]
QWQueen Weira
Ugh! The brat never stops crying! Where's Trill?!
[She hands Elyon to Zadan]
ZZadan
I bet you once change it.
QWQueen Weira
I am Queen! You are Consort! NOW!
[Zadan takes baby Elyon and present Elyon gasps, past Trill appears]
TTrill
Your Highness, I...
QWQueen Weira
Do not make me wait again, Trill! Or you'll force me into another punishment.
TTrill
No! Your Highness. No! Please!
[Young Phobos appears]
Must I listen to that incessant wailing?
QWQueen Weira
No, my precious pet.
[She hugs him]
QWQueen Weira
Well...take it away!
[Zadan hands baby Elyon to past Trill and she walks off]
QWQueen Weira
She keeps the peasants happy...but you, my son [hands him her jewel] are the true heir to my heart.
[In the palace, Elyon, Elborn and Miriadel are eating. Trill is feeding Blunk and notices the necklace to create folds]
TTrill
Oh! This trinket is...Queen Elyon what is wrong?
How could you all lie to me about my birth parents.
TTrill
How can you say such a thing?!
Weira and Zadan were horrible people. They didn't love me!
TTrill
Your mother loved you! She gave you that jewel! [notices the jewel sparkle]
Take it back! I don't want it!
[She rips the necklace off, throws it, Trill catches it, laughs villainously and transforms into Nerissa. She floats over to the trio, Elyon tries to use her powers, to no avail]
My powers! What have you done?
This jewel, a true jewel from Weira's crown, has been draining your power for months. That's why I gave it to you.
You lie! The real Trill gave me that. Where is she?
There is no Trill. There never was. I have served you as I served Phobos and the rebellion, in humility, waiting for this day. When the gem pulsed this mornng I knew my time had come. No more need for knights or vengeance. All that remained was to convince you to give it to me willingly. [Her hair raises up] Which is why I fed you false visions of your parents.
[She walks up to her, hands held out and walks into the jewel]
The Heart... of Meridian... is mine!
[She cackles and teletransports away]
