Later on that night Bulma was escorted into a much more comfortable room by a female guard. The room wasn’t that much different from the cell she was just in. It had a queen-sized bed in the left hand corner; a small wooden dresser with an oval mirror leaned against the far wall, and light came from the chandelier in the middle of the ceiling.

Bulma walked over to the window of the room and was amazed at what she saw. The ship had left earth and was now moving through space heading towards its destination. Bulma couldn’t believe her eyes, when had they taken off. She gazed at the stars and thought about her situation. ‘I am stuck no matter what I do,’ she thought. ‘I have always wanted to go out into space but never like this.’ She sighed deeply and began to sing to herself, but stopped when she heard a voice behind her.

“Its beautiful isn’t it?”

Bulma spun around to see a beautiful angel like creature sitting on her bed. She had deep sky blue eyes, golden wings and long silver hair that hung over her shoulders in two braids. She wore an elegant violet dress that swept the floor when she walked and looked to be made of silk.

“Who are you?” Bulma asked. “What do you want?”

“ My name is Essence,” said the creature. “ Don’t worry I’m not going to hurt you. In fact I am was sent here to protect you.”

“ Protect me from what? Sent by who?”

“ I can’t tell you, but lets just say someone is looking out for you.”

Essence walked closer to Bulma and looked deeply into her eyes as if searching for something.

“ You think that because of everything that has happened to you, you are cursed. Everything happens for a reason, which means that your being here has its own purpose. Do not fear Vegeta. He is a big softy once you get to know him.”

“ Oh really. Than why did he kidnap me from my home.”

“ The saiyans are a proud race of warriors, but lately something has been killing them off. A virus of some sort and it has attacked the King. He will die soon without a cure.”

“ What does that have to do with me?”

“ Vegeta wishes that you find one for him. When the King dies Vegeta will have to take his place, but he must also find a mate who will produce him an heir.”

“ So he’s afraid of commitment or what. I still don’t understand.”

“ The saiyan queen must posses certain qualities. She must be strong both physically and mentally, loyal to her king and kingdom, and able to lead the kingdom in the event of the Kings absence. To find such a queen will take time, time, I might add, that Vegeta doesn’t have. Normally the king would have chosen Vegeta’s mate himself, but …”

“ But because of the virus they think that he wont make the right decision. That’s just perfect. Okay I understand why they need my help, but why would I need your protection.”

“ The saiyans will not trust you because you are an outsider and the time will come when you will have to prove where your loyalties lie. I can tell you now that you will not find a cure in time, but there is still purpose in you being on Vegetasei. Please trust in me and in your emotions, and everything will turn out fine.” With that said Essence disappeared in a swirl of light leaving Bulma to think about what she had told her.
