Remis Prime Volume I: The Wanderer

Chapter 6

Light hit my face, I groggily opened my eyes and yawned. The mat below me indicated I was still in the Dracochen Valley. Although one of the mats was empty, the one where Eagle slept. He either got up early or he left one of the two. Probably the latter considering he's literally an alien from another world.

I got up quietly making sure not to wake anybody up. It seemed like the Dracochen didn't feel like waking us up either because it was before the usual time they woke up or it was because they didn't feel like it.

My questions would soon be answered, as the Valley was mostly devoid of life, hinting at the fact few people are up at this time. Although the Sun was rising so that probably was part of the reason why no one was up. I woke up early that's all.

But I was soon met by the blue alien known as Eagle as he was preparing breakfast for the church.

"I see you up early." I said to Eagle.

"I'm not early, this is the time I usually wake up. Well I technically woke up 2 hours ago if you consider my real body since this is just a host for my mind." He said, while cutting through vegetables that were local to the Dracochen, along with some more foreign food. His tail grabbed something from the corner of the kitchen, most likely a knife.

"You know how to cook?" I asked.

"Yes, I lived in the wilderness for six months. What did you expect? Me being a useless member of society?" He said sarcastically. He already finished cutting the ingredients, and began placing them on the pot.

"Also are you even allowed here?" I asked, somewhat scared he was breaking the rules.

"Yes, I am allowed here. I asked that's all you really need to do in life. Just ask and you'll get your answer." He said, turning on the stove and began to cook breakfast for everyone.

"So you said, this body is a host, is that correct?"

"Yes it was engineered to be this way, several decades ago we developed a way to go Faster than Light Travel. Light speed is about going around this world 7 and half times in a second.

But we came across this world with people with less advanced technology than this world but had a connection to their world. Which is where I survived for six months. It was actually more of a recreation of their world since it was on a Space Habitat known as a Bernal Sphere. It is similar to a ball unlike the Cup shaped O'Neill Cylinder. We created these bodies to interact with them at first since we couldn't breathe the air of their world because of the high amount of gasses that are toxic to us more than our body can filter out and had to filter it out from a gas mask.

We got kicked out about 15 years ago, after the corporation that controlled everything on that world got kicked off the world by the Natives so the government took over and apologized. They were even willing to send help to repair the damage they did. Things are fine now today as our people found a new source of energy to help satisfy our demands.

So we were just selling things to them by this point, and just trading, not taking their stuff which the people before us did." He said while eating a loaf full of bread.

"So these bodies don't exactly belong to you then?" I said.

"Not really, we just recreated their body structure. At first and then changed it to be more useful combat wise." He said, taking another bite out of his bread.

"Oh." I said.

'The fact they recreated another race's body structure makes it seem like they have the ability to hide among an entire race without them noticing.' I thought.

"Well I'll be outside just looking around for a bit okay." I said while leaving the kitchen.

"Okay we'll call you when breakfast is ready. At least mine since my diet is completely different from yours!" He said to me, while taking another bite out of his bread.
