Mark...was in complete shock and disbelief at the fact which had just been told to him. Mark had learnt every spiritual name carried a hidden meaning including his own. Yet he was having trouble understanding the importance his own supposed spiritual name carried "so...Tenma means...the bringer of Twilight?" he said in disbelief

"Yes that's right" said Hana with a relieved smile "and that means that you are the one that Luna and Solomon spoke off in the old stories"

"But...Hana" Mark didn't sound sure "while I believe Tenma could be my name...I doubt I'm the twilight warrior"

"However Mark" said Cordelia "you have to admit evidence does point to the possibility of you being the warrior. As I said twilight is when both light and dark coincide at the same time"

"Which is indeed correct for you" said Lucile "I mean you've just shown us you have powers of both light and dark"

"I know...it's just still...hard to believe" Mark said before he then felt a gentle hand over his heart

"If you like...I could prove it to you" said Hana "I can ask the divine ones about your name, and then we can see for ourselves who you are"



Hana closed her eyes and her whole body glowed a radiant white "I call upon the divine ones of Luna and Solomon" her voice slightly echoed "Please hear my plea, and bestow knowledge upon this lost soul. Tell us...his true name. The name you have given upon him" Hana then slightly jumped upwards, and remained silent

"Hana...are you alright?" asked Mark. Hana replied, but the voice which she spoke in was different

"It's...good to see you" it was older female and sounded pure "I didn't think I would see you again"

"Is that...Luna?" said Lucile quietly "is she talking through Hana?"

"Must be doing" said Fiona "Let us remain quiet"


Hana put both hands on Mark's shoulders "I could feel it. Your soul is lost" said Luna softly "Wondering what its true purpose is"

"Well...more like what it is I should do" said Mark thinking that the owner of the voice could hear him

"Don't worry. You are on a quest to find the spirit drives, and I can say once you have gained the power of all five you will know who you truly are. In-fact with just four or even three, you'll work it out"

"So...the legend was true after all" said Fiona to which Cordelia shushed her

"Now then, you have all called me here cos you wish to know your true name? Well...the name that we bestowed upon you...was Tenma. That is your name, your true name"

"So...I really am Tenma" he said to himself "that is...my name. Hey wait,  'we?'"


Tenma sounded a tad desperate "What did you mean by 'we'? Who else was there?"

"We will meet again Tenma, child of the Twilight" said Luna making Mark's eyes widen "I can only hope that my daughters will watch over you, as will Solomon's children as well" Hana stepped back "So until then"

"No wait a minute, I need to know. Do I have a sister?" Hana only nodded, although slowly, before her body went slump beckoning Mark to catch her. Hana quickly awoke in Mark's arms

"umm...wha?"

"Here...up you come" Mark helped her to her feet

Was that...really Luna we just heard?" asked Ariana a bit nervous by the whole situation "It was a little scary"
