From the mountains, Millie, had witnessed the hell, the Aliens had brought to her world. Hatred?
It was inbred in her, a festering beneath the surface, both physically and mentally rising fury.
Her own, BEFORE the Aliens came.. treated like second rate borderline primitives.
Barred from entering inhabited zones, from education and all of the normal things a child experiences.
Work, from the moment, she could walk and talk.. forced on her, the demands, the beatings if she disobeyed. Harsh lessons in life and the scars of those around her all too clear to see.
Her family, her brothers, had been dragged off in chains to work in the mines.
Slaves to the rich and powerful. Fodder before and after, their death marches.
Love, compassion; she had never known. The will, the rage, the fury to stay alive, whatever life threw at her had been her savior. Her fists and her own personal strength her companions.
Fleeing into the mountains, higher up and more isolated had meant the slavers were few and far away from the caves, the fortress those around her AND HER had put together.
The aliens? Were nothing to them. What they did in the built up zones, the cities and similar industrial areas; unknown. Of no relevance to them.
Over the next five years, the Alien invaders did as they pleased. The strange object in the heavens glowed and that night it had emitted a massive bolt of energy like a lightning discharge to the planets surface.
Destroying so much AND, the craft that had been seen in the beginning entering was later witnessed leaving at some speed into the heavens and beyond..GONE. 
The strangers, who brought the news, of their liberation, had made it clear. NO more discrimination, no more segregation.
They said that ALL were equal and, if they chose, to come down from the mountains they would be welcome to do so.
Lands, protected by centuries old rights, given back to them. Slaves freed and the slavers ? Well they were taught a lesson IF they had stayed and most had not..
For Millie, it was a new beginning but the clan had nominated her as a leader, a protector. Powerful, strong, intuitive and she had made it clear, amongst her people..
NEVER to trust any of the outsiders. It would be a warning that would see her people once again learn that those who were giving them hope were delivering FALSEHOODS.
The night of the fire in the heavens.. ? The space station weapons systems, the almost total destruction of it and the ALIEN invasion all over again!
The cold night air, where she, was sat looking up at the arrival of that craft from space.. similar in form to the one she had seen leave ?
Recognized as enemy Alien forces.. Almost instant the sense of despair on her senses.. She would have to round up her people again and head up to the mountain caves..
The green jeweled locket, her mother had found and now in her hand gripped tightly All had been so good until the heavens had exploded.. the firestorm..
Emotions, all of them in disarray askew.. WHY was she feeling so lost, such a mix of sadness, of anger, of ?
The realization that in the end, the lives of all were not theirs, it was in the hands of the Gods..
WHY? Why do we have to go through this, all over again! The communication devices had been active with the latest news, the warnings, the undeniable truth. Solus 3 (Earth) was once again under attack and their former protectors; had left.
WHY had the Gods allowed this ? WHY must she have and keep as her mother had told her time after time to never lose.. FAITH. The Gods would not desert them in their hour of need..
She yawned, tired, so very tired.. all she wanted to do, was to close her eyes, rest them; sleep.
The green emerald glowed.. the tear that had fallen across it sparkled, fizzled before the light grew bathing her whole body in its ever growing intensity.
The shining ones stood next to her.. smiled.. reached out to touch her forehead.. a ring of energy across her rippling down and down until it finally died away.
The kiss, yes the kiss of the Gods..
“When you wake, you will be as our chosen one. Ready for the war that is to come and, with your inner strength and our gift; a power that will deliver punishment to those who chose to offend us.,,
the true Gods of creation..
YOUR enemies will fall before you..
