After the new crew realized that Cam was shipped off literally. A tension that they held was let go. They did not like the way she manipulated them all to do what she wanted. They pledged their loyalty to the captain. That was what they needed to know.
Elphin informed Jayla of what he discovered about Le’em. Jayla did not know what a Godor was. She was just learning about the Anorie.
“So what does it mean that she is mixed with Godor? Her Anorie beast did respond to you right?”
“It barely woke. The Godor side also woke slightly, which probably explains why the Anorie did not fully awaken.”
“Elphin you are confusing me.”
” The Godor is the opposite of our people. Our kind. Our beast radiates electrical energy. The Godor is a natural grounder. It is capable of making our beast weak and immovable. We are natural enemies and she is carrying both.” Elphin said as he walked towards the food replicator and received water.
“So your saying that she is no good in a battle if we have to get into one?”
“I am not saying that because I do not know how she ended being captured since she her body houses two powerful beings.”
“Maybe you should test her. See if she could defend herself. You can take her to the cargo bay and find out. I don’t need to have someone I have to watch, when we make contact with our people. You are the only one I trust.”
“So why would you need her. There is nothing wrong with having more back up that you know personally.”
Elphin nodded his head and finished his drink before he left Jayla’s quarter’s. Once he left she closed her eyes to communicate with her beast. She started doing this a couple of day’s ago when Elphin advised that she get closer to it.
The beast was resting and seemed to not want to be bothered. Jayla decided to go to Red T and see how he was healing. She needed him at a hundred percent as well. He needed to tell her what the Oni was and how to defeat it.
***********************************************************************************
The red sun rose above the planet Anor. Lorac was feeling the fatigue of the watch. He wanted to exhaust himself so he could get some rest. His sleep was disruptive and he woke with anger and a cloudy mind, which is not an asset a leader should have.
Sanu walked up behind Lorac and bowed his head.
“Lorac you must get so rest. Fatigue shows on your face.”
“I plan to. Sanu if you see anything that is unusual in the sky. Please wake me.”
“Only ships from the scientist are in the sky. Are you expecting your mate today?”
“I am not certain but I want to be ready.”
“Well you need to get rest. Our females may find you attractive but your mate was not raised with our females. You need to be at your best.”
Lorac knew what he side to be true. He needed his strength for his mate. He left Sanu to guard the Anorie people below.
************************************************************************************
The crews cabin looked the same as where they held him for lock up. Red T was not happy that his successor was killed by the scientist when they were captured. He did not want to live another millennia. He felt that space stretched to far and he spent all his life helping those that needed the help. Even if it meant that he would have to sacrifice himself.
He sat in the center of his bed, feeling the movements of the crew and he knew that Jayla was on her way to him. He felt much better and his power was returning but he wanted to free of this life. He wanted to find someone and finally make a connection that would not jeopardize their life. A successor is born once every five hundred years. He would have to survive until then. That did not sit well with him.
The door opened and Jayla walked through.
“How are you today?”
“Not dying. Thank you for rescuing me.”
Jayla nodded and walked over to the small table in the room and sat on the chair facing him. He looked a little aged from the last time they met.
“Ask your question.” Red T said.
“What is the Oni?”
“Ah, that is something I can not answer. Once you are mated a vision will come of the Oni and what form it will take.”
“What form it will take? Has the Oni been here before?”
“Yes. Over a hundred thousand years ago. It took the form of a Black Mass that crushed planets . My master before he died told me that before that the Oni came as a ball of flaming gas.”
“How were they defeated. Every planted houses specific species and they evolve when it is time to prepare for the Oni.”
“So the Anori’s have to take it on now?”
“Yes, your people were chosen.”
“Who chose?”
“That I can not say. But the path has been created and we all must go.”
Jayla stood to leave because she had no more questions but she felt that she needed to say something.
“I am glad you are safe.”
Red T looked at her quizzically. “Do you need energy?”
“I did not say that to receive something from you. Only to express that I am relieved that you survived.” The she left.
Red T quickly received a vision of a woman that is hiding. Was she his successor? No their is only one the be born every five hundred years. Who is this female? Why was he given a vision of her?
************************************************************************************
Elphin took Le’em to the cargo bay with out telling her why. She felt uneasy since he was acting strangely. They stopped in an area where there was a lot of space.
“I told Jayla about your problem.”
“I do not have a problem?”
“You have two species inside of you and you think, you don’t have a problem.” Elphin said as he let his beast roam the surface of his skin.
“So what did she decide?”
“She can not have any abnormalities with her as she is fighting for the Anorie people.”
“Abnormality?So she is letting me go free then?”
“If that is what you want to call it. Yes she has set you free.”
Le’em seen that Elphins canines elongated. His hands curled in and claws was ripping through his skin.
“Are you going to kill me. Elphin?”
He was not answering, his beast has almost fully emerged from him. Le’em moved back. But the beast was tracking her. She was going to have to fight her way off this ship. Le’em adrenaline had awaken her beast. It had not stirred to life before. She did not know what to do. She spotted a door to her left. She needed to get there. Then she felt it.
Searing hot pain, across her left arm. Elphin’s beast landed it’s claws into her left arm. Le’em screamed and it started to sound like a roar than a scream. Her vision was shifting. The colors were turning black and white. Her gums hurt as large canines pushed themselves through.
Elphin’s beast roared it’s threat.
Le’em skin sizzled with heated pain as hair and claws made its way through. It took a few moments until the transformation was complete and both beasts stared each other down.
Le’em swiped her sharp piercing claws at Elphin which did not land. Elphin growled and prowled around her. Looking for a weak spot. She was an amazing specimen of an Anorie female he has seen. Her power rolled on top of her and the Godor did not appear.
Elphin jumped at her to get a bite down on the scruff of her neck but she leaped away before he landed. She did a low growl to challenge the male. Instinctual his beast knew what the growl meant and it was not a fight the female wanted. Once Elphin understood he walked away giving her his back to see if she would attack.
Le’em watched him walk away and she gave the image to her beast to attack the male. The beast sent back an image that stunned her. She needed he to get back outside her body. She seen that Elphin began to shift back. She did not know how, but she needed to return to the surface. Her heart was beating to fast.
Elphin walked to Le’em beast with hands raised in surrender. The beast allowed him close to her, not sensing a threat. Elphin reached behind her ear and touched a spot that seemed to help Le’em resurface and for the beast to go in.
“What happened? Why were you going to attack me?” Le’em asked as she still sat on the floor trying to reorient herself.
“That was your first shift wasn’t it?”
“Yes”
“I was not going to kill you, just test your abilities.”
Le’em looked at him and Elphin looked a bit uncomfortable.
“What was the growl she emitted to you?”
“Your beast wants to be with mine. I have to go.”
Le’em remembered the image but she could not for the life of her understand it. It was not something she had ever seen before. Elphin helped her to her feet.
“I can not give her what she wants.”
“Because of the Godor?”
“Yes it may weaken me if it appears or kill me. I will let Jayla know that you may be an asset to her.”
“Elphin what does she want?”
Elphin turned away and walked out quickly. His beast reprimanded him for not taking what the female offered. He tried to relay why it was not good. The beast sent an image of another. It stopped him in his tracks. It made sense but can a little woman like her handle an Anorie and a Godor at the same time? Was he willing to share? Anorie males do not share with other males. This had to wait for another time. Right now he needed to report to Jayla and see if Red T would give Le’em energy she was depleted from her first change.
So the males did emerge. If you like the post please like and for you others who have not subscribed please do. Any and all comment are welcomed. Until next burn.xoxo
