My name is Sean. I'm the Commander of the Marinean Security Force. I am also wed to Queen Tamara and the proud father of four Second Generation children-two sons and two daughters-and two Fourth Generation twin girls. Tamara and I have been on many very different adventures, but the one we are beginning now is perhaps the most unusual. We had fostered a troubled student at the Academy of Magic, who was the sole survivor of a crashed airship from the previously unknown planet of Starlight. When a search-and-rescue ship from that planet arrived, she found out that her parents had protected her in an escape ball-and that they were the King and Queen of that planet. My name is Candace. I am one of the four first-born children of Queen Tamara and Commander Sean of Marinea. I am also the Queen-Designate and will become Queen when my mother decides to relinquish the throne. My hope is that many, many moons will have come and gone before that day arrives. I have recently wed my soulmate, Cyril, the Ruler of the kingdom of Freedom on the other side of our planet, Akura. We are both Super Children and Cyril is also a biological twin-and a Super Twin-to Cyrus, who is second-in-command in the government of Freedom.

My name is Arkin. I'm a Graduate student at the Academy of Magic in Marinea. I met Trixie at the Academy and, after we graduated, we became close friends. At the Graduation party Queen Tamara sponsored at the Palace, I sealed our new friendship with a kiss! We became even closer when we were identified as Super Children. Before then, Trixie had a troubled life with no memories, feeling unloved and lonely, often 'acting out' as a result. However, when her Super Child status was activated, her memories returned. The Queen's twins were instrumental in healing the psychological pain caused her by the death of her parents in an airship crash and the later demise of her foster parents in a train crash. My name is Georgio. I am a Graduate Student at the Academy of Magic in the kingdom of Marinea on the planet of Akura. I am also an officer in the Security Force and a Super Child/Twin to Crystos, also a Graduate Student. I have recently wed Rose, the daughter of Queen Flora III of the kingdom of Timbere on Akura and another Super Child. We had an impromptu ceremony prior to our first journey off-planet to the previously unknown kingdom of Starlight on the planet Starlight elsewhere in the universe. (We are confused that the kingdom and the planet have the same name, but it seems that the residents of the kingdom have not explored the planet beyond their borders.)

My name is Andrea and I am one of the twin girls born to Queen Tamara and Sean Lockette, Commander of the Marinean Security Force. When we were born, there were three other sets of twins also born in that year, making a total of four. Our mother, the Queen, believes that there is significance in the number four. We are the youngest daughters of the Queen and the Commander, both of whom are also Super Children. We have other siblings, who were already adult when we were born: Candace, Sunny, Skye and Verd. My name is Trixie...and I have a very checkered background. My earliest memory was traveling on an airship...followed by my father putting me in an escape pod and throwing me out the door. My next memory was traveling with a couple who adopted me and took me to their home. My adopted father enrolled me in the Academy of Magic...and then my adopted parents were killed in a train crash. These memories were 're-installed' in my brain when I was identified as a Super Child. Before then, I had no memories at all until I reached puberty. By that time, I was totally messed up: acting out in class, screaming at other students, feeling totally unloved-and unliked-by anyone. I hated myself, the Academy, and everything about my life.

My name is Tamara. I am the Queen of the undersea kingdom of Marinea on the planet Akura. My life adventure truly began with the crystal on my stomach. I was born with it, but it didn't activate until I reached puberty. After that, crystals have been the dominant force in my life. If you wish to learn about my life up to this point, you can read Series 1 and 2 of Crystal Saga. The cosmology and history that I grew up knowing highlighted my kingdom and two others. I now know that this knowledge was seriously incomplete. I have initiated diplomatic relations and Ambassadorships with the many kingdoms we have discovered on both sides of our planet, both light and dark. My name is Crystos. I am a graduate student at the Academy of Magic in the kingdom of Marinea. When I've been asked about my childhood, I had no answers. My memories began when I reached puberty. At that point, I felt drawn to the Academy, applied for admission, and was accepted. That always puzzled me, since I had no references and, apparently, no former schooling. Once I began my studies, I also became involved in teaching, as a volunteer. In addition, I joined a martial arts club and became quite proficient, earning a black belt.

My name is Dr. Astarte. I am the Royal Physician to the Royal Family. I had just completed analyzing the test results of the Royal Children when Queen Tamara arrived in my office to ask what I had found.I explained to her that all four children had genetic markers for shadow magic because their father had assimilated some when he became a Super Child.Her son, Verd, had the most shadow magic and it manifested itself during his recent mission with Savea. They attempted-successfully-to create and deploy additional lava tubes, directing them beneath Island X, the refuge of all avatars on the planet. Their efforts created a new volcano that eventually blew up the entire island. Verd was able to save Savea from the Lucas avatar, who was the present ruler of that island, directing his attack on her using red shadow magic rays to reverse and hit the Lucas avatar instead. During this mission, Verd received an additional forehead crystal, a red one. His two forehead crystals, red and clear, combined to create red and white striped bracelets on his arms, giving him dominion over both types of magic.

My name is Jon...and my life has changed dramatically. My home is in the kingdom of Marinea. When Commander Sean Lockette formed the Security Force, I felt drawn to it and applied immediately. Over many moon cycles, I became second in command and spent my time defending the kingdom and training other members of the Force. Commander Lockette also gave me the responsibility of personal trainer of Queen Tamara's sister, Princess Trina, who wanted to become a member of the Force. We worked well together and the initial relationship has grown into a personal one as well. When I asked her to marry me, she graciously accepted and our engagement has been a very enjoyable period for both of us. But before that happy time, the Commander and the Queen fell in love and married. The Creator Being gifted them with a special honeymoon in the Crystal Castle. Their memories were temporarily suspended at the entrance to their honeymoon suite, not to be restored until Sean had been made a Super Child. I wasn't originally recognized as his Super brother/twin; thankfully, it didn't take long to discover the truth. We were considered 'late bloomers', as most Super Children felt self-aware at puberty, and we didn't until years later. As part of Sean's life and heritage, I became 'Uncle Jon' to the four children that Tamara and Sean produced-all at once! Those amazing children are a joy and a pleasure, so talented and powerful. They have added much to my life. We have just survived a scandal in the Academy of Magic. Constantine, the children's tutor, was working with an avatar of Merlynn to create avatars and install them in the Academy. We had been working across kingdoms on both sides of the planet to eliminate all avatars. This scandal was a setback, but we did resolve the problem.

My name is Savea. I am one of the two Super Sisters who are half of the Super Children created by the Super Beings when they wished to have offspring to amuse them. My sister is Solange, grandmother to Queen Tamara of Marinea. The other half consists of the two Super Brothers: Sostor, who rules Mosshire on the cold northern mainland and Sunan, who rules the hot desert kingdom of Mesarra on the southern mainland. Originally, there were only two Children, but the Super Beings worried that they would have too much power and split each Child into two Beings. Tamara discovered that each of us had an imbalance that affected our behavior and she was instrumental in correcting those imbalances by removing the two spells that caused them. My name is Trina. I am the younger sister of Queen Tamara of Marinea and the newly appointed Ambassador to the kingdom of Mosshire. My sister worried when I agreed to be an Ambassador because I am next in line to the throne of Marinea. When I recently reached the age of seventeen and puberty, the Creator Being gifted me with crystal nails on my hands and feet. They are very powerful and I am learning to use them wisely. Plus...I now have gills!!

My name is Tamara. I am the Queen of Marinea. I became Queen permanently when my father, King Trident, decided to retire. He is so knowledgeable that I was delighted when he agreed to be our Ambassador to the mainland kingdom of Alteria. My mother, Terra, is a Watcher-and was elected to the post of Head Watcher. She accompanied Father to his new post, which does not prevent her from fulfilling her Head Watcher duties. Watchers are able to teleport instantly to any location. My parents are currently working on an experimental program that will facilitate communication between magicals and non-magicals in Alteria. My name is Candace. I am one of the four Super Children born to my mother, Queen Tamara, and my father, Commander Sean Lockette. I have just reached puberty and my life, so far, has been more than unusual. All the Super Children on our planet, Akura, were brought into existence by the Super Beings at the age of puberty-except for my Father and his twin, Uncle Jon. They were 'late bloomers.' But my siblings and I were born as Super Children. The gold encased power pendants around our necks mean that we are originals. The previous Super Children were subdivided into an original and a mirror image. When the four of us were in my mother's tummy, we were magically reduced in size so that she could be comfortable. But when we were born, we became normal size.

My name is Astrid. I am the Queen of the kingdom of Seaside. My kingdom is on the side of the planet Akura that tends to be under cloud cover. I have ruled this kingdom for two decades; the first decade was calm and peaceful, and my reign was full of joy. I became Queen just after I achieved puberty; I have no memories prior to that time. More about that later. The second decade saw much sadness and torment. A kingdom to the north named Brimstone had a King named Lucas. He never contacted or bothered me until the second decade of my reign, when he discovered some ancient volumes of shadow magic that made him both powerful and egocentric. My name is Flora. I am the Queen of the kingdom of Timbere. My kingdom is mostly composed of forests. We have aerial pathways that connect different common areas. I love how green my kingdom is; it's a very special place. Technically, my title is Queen Flora III. Like Queen Astrid, my kingdom is on the side of the planet usually covered with clouds. I have ruled this kingdom for two decades, and I have a daughter who is coming of age soon. At one point, I anticipated that she would succeed me and I would retire, but everything has changed.

My name is Sean Lockette. I am the Commander of the Security Force in the undersea kingdom of Marinea. Queen Tamara and I have just been married and are presently enroute to our surprise honeymoon destination-a gift from the Creator Being. At the conclusion of the wedding festivities, when we had completed our celebratory voyage down the river running through the kingdom, a white tornado appeared and encircled us, taking us on a journey to that special honeymoon destination. It certainly startled everyone who was watching! Prior to all this excitement, we had been actively involved in establishing diplomatic relations with the three nearby kingdoms: Alteria, Mosshire and Mesarra; and the newly-discovered three kingdoms on the other side of the planet: Primus, which has volcanic challenges; Aquelle, which is primarily aquatic; and Timbere, consisting of large areas of forest joined by aerial pathways. We are not certain that only three kingdoms are there, and will definitely keep looking. My name is Trillium, and I am the identical twin brother of Trident. We have only known each other a short time, as I was spirited away as soon as I was born. My mother, Solange, was not aware that she had birthed twins until we were adults. I was placed in a foster home as an infant. After I was some years older, I ran away and lived on the streets of Marinea-supporting myself by being a talented thief! One day, a man came up to me and offered to pay my way to study magic at a special school. I took him up on the offer and he became a mentor to me. The Academy of Magic was great-and I was also provided with lodging and meals! That lasted for several years and I learned a lot about magic. I actually became a magical prodigy! In later years, when I discovered that my mother was a Super Child and my biological father was a Watcher, I understood where my magical prowess came from.

My name is Trident and I am the former King of Marinea, the undersea kingdom formed when the Great Quakes separated it from the island of Alteria. Before I became King, I had gone to the Alterian mainland and met my to-be wife, Terra, while walking the beach. We married and had two daughters: Tamara, who eventually succeeded me as Head of State, and Trina. My name is Tamara, and I am the Queen of the undersea kingdom of Marinea. My father, King Trident, abdicated in my favor as he reordered his priorities in life. My mother, Terra, was considered a non-magical when we all lived on the mainland of Alteria amid a non-magical population. I have a younger sister, Trina, who recently reached puberty and received powers much the same as I did at that age.

My name is Trident and I am the former Prince, then King, of Marinea, an undersea kingdom created when Great Quakes caused much of Alteria to sink beneath the sea, leaving an island mainland behind. When I was Prince, I lived incognito on the Alteria mainland where I met my soon-to-be wife, Terra, when walking on the beach. It was one of the happiest times of my life. We became parents of two lovely daughters: Tamara, who was born with a crystal on her stomach and is now Queen and the present ruler of Marinea; and Trina, who has come of age and is excitedly exploring her newly-acquired powers. My name is Terra and I am the wife of Trident, the former King and now, after relinquishing the throne, a Prince of the undersea kingdom of Marinea. We have two daughters: Tamara, now the Queen of Marinea and Trina, who has recently turned seventeen. Both girls have been blessed with magic crystals. Tamara was born with one on her stomach, with more to follow as needs arose. Trina, upon reaching puberty, was gifted with crystal nails on her hands and feet. The girls keep discovering more talents and skills as time passes.

I am Tamara, the present Queen and ruler of the undersea kingdom of Marinea on the planet of Akura. I became ruler suddenly because my father, mother and younger sister, Trina, were kidnapped from the Bubble Train they were taking to the mainland kingdom of Alteria. My kingdom needed an interim ruler and I was next in the line of successio I was born with a crystal on my stomach. When I reached the age of puberty, my body added crystals to the palms of my hands and my forehead. No one could understand why the crystals appeared or why some of them suddenly began to change colors reflecting my emotions. Our cosmology tells us that in the beginning of Time, the Creator sought to have company and made two Super Beings, one male and one female. These Super Beings in turn created a single male and a single female offspring of themselves. Having done that, they worried that those offspring might have too much power, so they decided to split each of the children into twin males and twin females. The two females, Solange and Savea, reside in my undersea kingdom. Savea lives close to several volcanos. Solange resides in the palace and has a special role: She is my grandmother!
