Dari led Osiris to the small apartment that he shared with Daddy and Aunt Dria. Instead of speaking, Dari let out a loud Meoooow. It was what his Earth Relatives would do to be let in, his place. However, he was very polite and only let one yowl out, before waiting patiently for the door to open (the neighbors called him 'well-trained' - if they only knew). Soon Dria came to the door and saw Dari, and then his guest. "Dari, where have you been? We've been worried about - Oh Deme! It's been so long -" Dari scratched his ear. "Aunt Dria - it's time - he's come to talk to Daddy about it." Dria's eyes widened. Then she nodded. "Come Dari. Let's go take a walk." Dari leaped on to her shoulders, and they vanished outside, leaving the door open. Drew having heard, was in the common area, sitting down on a chair looking at their guest. He inhaled. Then he motioned for his friend to come in and sit down beside him on the couch, closing the door behind him. His face was serious - gravely serious. "It's been awhile."

Osiris entered the apartment, and looked back to see Dria and Dari walk off. He didn't really get a chance to say hello, but he had a lot on his mind. Osiris knew he had no time to waste and had to focus on the task he was here for. This task was learning what he didn't know. He quickly looked around the apartment and noticed his friend was in the common area, sitting on a chair and motioning to him.
Osiris quickly walked over to his friend, and sat on the couch nearby. The door shut behind him as he sat down on the couch. Osiris took a deep breath and smiled, "Its good to see you! It has been awhile and it seems like I've missed out on some fun new information. Guess school has been taking up all my time lately." He laughed a bit hoping to lighten the mood, since right now you could cut the tension in here with a knife.
Osiris was obviously overwhelmed, both by the situation, life in general, and the long absence away from his friend. He attempted to lighten the mood with a joke, but the tension was still palpable, indicating that he expected a difficult confusing conversation.

Drew smiled weakly. His expression returned to a sober *gray* emotion look - dark gray - storm clouds. He realized that his friend did not have a lot of time - who did these days, so he made the pleasantries quick. "Yes, it is good to see you too, Deme. First, do you know about past lives?" In case Deme didn't, Drew gave him a crash course- and ended with the added fact that he would explain more about them on a later date. He then allowed a pause - this was a lot to comprehend, and if he had just dropped a skyscraper on his friend, then he was about to drop a pyramid on him.

Deme liked how his friend got down to business. He really did understand how pressed for time he was. He wished he wasn't but life didn't always go the way he wanted. Deme appreciated how his friend didn't waste time on small talk and instead kept the conversation focused on the task at hand.
"Honestly no. It all seems a little far fetched to me, but I'm open to the possibilities," he admitted. That was one thing about himself that he sometimes loved. He had no problem being honest. He always chose to be truthful rather than tell a lie. He valued honesty and believed it was the most effective policy in any situation.
He was willing to listen and be open-minded. Even so, it seemed like a fairy tale that people told their children so that they would stay hopeful. "I'll be honest, I want to believe it, but I need some proof. Concrete proof that what you're telling me is real life and not fantasy." he said after listening to his friend speak.
He exhaled deeply, knowing that it would be difficult to prove such a thing, but still his hope remained. Since it sounded awesome and the thought that they were friends even in a past life would be amazing. After all having a friend like him, who has your back, well that's once in a lifetime.

Drew frowned. "The best proof I can give you, is some you give yourself. Go to your homeworld and start restoring it. Once you start restoring your connection to it, you will begin to remember - as I did." There were frown lines in Drew's forehead that hadn't been there before. And now they appeared. He started to tell his story and was a little ways in. "I was Crown Prince Hapii Merii, eight years old and in the middle of my official coronation as a Crown Prince, when Dari's parents and the Elder Librarians burst in-"

Deme was curious about this whole homeland thing. He had heard of other Senshi's visiting them, and it fascinated him. He wondered just what his homeland would be like. How does Justice turn into a home-world? and would it really bring back his past life memories. So he could have that proof.
"You know maybe I could visit your homeworld sometime. To get a few for what they are like," he said thinking that maybe if he saw one. It would help him understand his own better, and learn more about them.
Then he noticed the frown lines, and decided to listen to what he had to say. It seemed like this story would answer a lot of questions. "What happened..?"

"They barred the Coronation from going through. By Etaminian Law - the day Sailor Etamin was awakened - he/she was stripped of everything, Names, titles, Family - everything. In that single moment, I became an orphan - and gained a destiny. And that night Dari and his family took me in and adopted me." He explained his position as Chief Librarian and then told Deme about meeting everyone and the family - alot of it was still fuzzy and there were more to meet. "I have told you all this for one reason - show how awful was the deed done." He met Osiris - not in anger, at one time there was remorse, but now he'd seem to have come to terms with it. "There was an artifact that I had so wanted to find as a Librarian. And when offered the chance, I threw caution, protocol, wisdom and experience to the wind. The thing brain washed me to evil... "I destroyed of my planet and took out many of our family as they brought me down. This was the fate of Pasithee, Leaena, Dari's Parents and many of the troops. Sekhmet lived to see another- and he is cursed to live, until his world cleared of Chaos, at least.... "Your fate..." At last Drew looked away. "That I do not know..."

Osiris listened to the story and felt horrible for his friend. Even if he wasn't sure what to believe yet, the story itself was heartbreaking. He couldn't believe anyone could go through that. Especially not his friend.
"Thats just so wrong on so many levels," he said before continuing, "as a librarian you want knowledge so going after an artifact well thats pretty normal. I don't think you should hold it over yourself though. The evil behind it caused all that not you." he knew he just spoke words but he wanted to help his friend not feel so badly. So he thought of an idea the scales of justice!
He held up his hands and showed a balanced scale. "In the hands of Justice. No one would convict you for wanting knowledge and it overtaking you. As for me. If everything is as you said I know I wouldn't have gone down without a fight, and plus I'm here now. So you need not worry about the past. It's the past for a reason."
He was happy to hear the story and he understood why it weighed on him. Regardless to what he believed - he did believe one thing and that was his friend was innocent. After he would have done the same thing in search of Justice.
Just at the mention of Justice he heard his phone alarm go off. It was time for his exam, and if he didn't hurry he was going to be late. "Drew thank you for sharing all this with me. I would never think of you as any less of a friend no matter what. I'm so sorry to have to cut this short but if I miss this exam I'm in trouble. Lets meet up soon okay?" he said as he headed towards the door with a smile.

Etamin agreed and nodded. "See you soon my friend."
