Revenants of the Past- Book Two of Selective Breeding

Chapter Forty Seven

"There are pet shows?" Deon questioned looking over at the group,

Ruma nodded, "There are beauty shows, sports, games, there is anything and everything here" Ruma looked down at Kaylo who had been completely knocked out by the experience. She let out a sigh, then looked up into the passing crowd seeing a group of Soruvets. It feel like time rewinded.

"Vassenhilo, stay with me child, or you will be locked to our ship for the remaining time of the Gala." Geldetio snapped, catching the younger Soruvets attention. The teenage soruvet was just coming into his fingers; they were still short and not as long as the adults he stood with. His skin was dark, still almost black in colour and hadn't lightened up in age. His third set of eyes just recently had openned.

"My apologies Uncle, there is simply so much to do." he said looking around, between them walked along a very young Rindosa, with bright bouncy hair.

Geldetio stopped and held out his arms, "To me Ruma." he said and the young one hopped up and climbed his arm resting against his shoulder. Giving her a better view.

"Where are we going master?" she asked in a high pitched child voice.

Geldetio moved his hands around to get a firm hold of her, so she wouldn't fall or be snatched. "Remember we are going to watch your brother, with his new female and her Meager, go to their new home."

"Oh yeah, I remember." Ruma said, as a filler statement than true facts of remembering. "Look! Over there, what's that, it smells good."

"Ruma, you're always thinking with your stomach child. Be patient, I will get you some snacks, but after the auction." Geldetio walked into the auction area and took a seat in one of the open places. Vassenhilo took his seat next to him, while Ruma innocently climbed about looking around.

"Now, Vassenhilo remember what I told you. Sometimes you will have to thin what your working with, so you will have to sell off some of your subjects, but when it comes to Rindosa's it is extremely important that they always go in groups of three. The female, Maeger and Brude. If not that sell the family as a whole the pups with parents. I prefer to Wait for them to naturally separated from their family." Vassenhilo was staring at an electronic pad. Geldetio struck his shoulder with his hand. "Boy, are you listening to me?"

Vassenhilo sighed, "Yes, make sure you sell them separated from their family."

"NO that is not-" Geldetios voice was drowned out by the announcer starting the bids. "Pay attention to atleast this." he said snatching the device from his nephew than pulling Ruma down and holding her in his laps, so she couldn't wonder away while he was distracted.

"Ru-" a voice broke her memories. "Ruma!" Ruma looked up seeing Deon in front of her. "Hey, are you alright?"

Ruma looked around and nodded. "I am okay"

"Well, Vassenhilo and Bvelpio are back. They are taking us out, they said they want to go view some of the shows," Ruma nodded, and got up Waking Kaylo in the process. The poor boy was so groggy that he was half asleep as they started pulling him along.

They went back into the bazzar "Oh Ruma look, do you remember your time in elite games?" Vassenhilo pointed out. Ruma turned and looked.

Ruma stood in front of a large crowd, shaking in fear, she didn't like the large crowds. "Pet 367, please answer the next question. If 3x−y=12, what is the value of 8xover 2y? A) 212 B) 44 C) 82 D) The value cannot be determined from the information given."

Ruma looked at the board, the numbers seem to appear in her head like the picture books Geldetio showed her as a toddler, she focused and like she was rearranging them in her mind.

"The answer is A. 82."

"Very good, that is 300 points for Geldetio and we move on to the final round"

Ruma hopped back over to Geldetios side. "I am so proud of you, my pet." he rubbed her head, picking her back up to hold her. Ruma laid her head on his shoulder. Waiting for her next turn.

"Do you think that you would like to enter? Its been a long time, you should probably remind people of how your popularity started."

Ruma looked at the group they were only doing qualifying rounds. They would hold qualifying rounds for the first month of the gala, before the actual champions started.

"Perhaps we could sign your pets up for a few of her Vassenhilo shows, show of there skills and get more people interested in them. Let them know that your back in the swing, get you out of the shadow of your Uncle."

Vassenhilo nodded, "Yes, I like that. Ruma we are signing you up for the elites, and I know that your Maeger will do well in the arenas. We will go sign him up after."

While none of them knew what the arena was leaving the boys confused, Ruma expression turning scared and her skin pale gave them a pretty decent idea of what it might be.
