Riley woke up with a gasp. That nightmare scared her it was about her past. The princess was in a cold sweat from her terrible nightmare. She places her hand on her chest and slowed down her heartbeat. Once her heart slowed down she check her surroundings. In her chambers of the castle. The princess sighed at the memory of Peach's death before she became the new princess. As both a princess and a knight she had to go back and fourth between her knight duties and her princess duties. She can't remember her days during the war against Nightmare when she fought as a Star Warrior.

She got of bed and dressed in her princess dress. She used to have short hair but decide to have long hair. When she was ready to go she grabbed her sword and walked out of her chamber. When she got to the throne room Mario was there looking like he has news. "Mario what is it you need?" "I came by after you told me about your past." "I lost all my past memories when I first came to Dreamland. I believe that if I restore my memories of my past I can defeat Nightmare." "That's what I thought as well. How do you plan to recover your memories?" "I'm going on an adventure to help me find the
answers." "Be safe alright I'll make sure no one knows your gone." "After years of fighting monsters I can be safe."

Removing her crown before she left the town to find answers and her past memories. Now on her mission to find her memories to defeat Nightmare once and for all.

"Sounds like your very determined to find your past memories."

"I am Galaxia I will destroy Nightmare and make him pay for his sins."

"You must be careful. You will face his most powerful demon beasts he's got."

"I got it I faced off powerful foes before I know what I'm doing."

"Must be careful. In order to restore your memories you must find the artifacts."

"Artifacts?"

"Yes princess. The artifacts hold your past memories. I will tell you that one of them is in Plack Beach at the statue of the hero of the sea."

"I'll put my faith in you Galaxia."

She knows that Galaxia was right. She would have to fight demon beasts in order to restore her memories. But in order to fight them she must unlock Galaxia's power. That's right her power. Even though it will be tough and painful adventure she will defeat Nightmare.

After hours of walking to Plack Beach Princess Riley became tired. There was no way she could get to that statue in her state. She decided to take a small break to recharge for her upcoming battle against the demon beast. She had to listen to Galaxia in order to destroy Nightmare in her final showdown. Riley took off her gloves and places them in her pocket. She reached her hand into the water just relaxing to the ocean water. Her wings spread out like a bird would do. Her long black hair with highlights flowed in the wind as she carefully move her hand in the water. "You not feeling well princess."

"I haven't been feeling well since I left the castle."

"That is because you are nervous about restoring your memories."

"How do you know?"

"I know everything about you as a Star Warrior. You became a knight to be like Meta Knight. I don't know very much about you as a princess and a knight since my death."

"I didn't know that. When I was still a knight Peach would hold private events just for me and her. We would drink plum juice in wine glasses. We would talk and dance to a waltz and then it's all over. Ever night I lay awake for a split second to think she is with me but then it dawns on me that she is gone."

She wiped away a few tears with the sleeve of her dress. She always never broke down while taking to the dead star warrior but it was only fair this one time.

"You must stay strong Princess Riley and keep going."

She got up, put her gloves on and begins to run across the beach. She knows she is getting close and to her luck she found the statue. Just then a blast knocked her to the ground. As she slowly open her eyes she gasped

"G--Galactic Knight?!?!"
