Kia's Biehshah Gift

Chapter 26 Dromie And Myen Offensive

Ryonne~ looked at Dromie's miserable face. "My friend, I am sure Father Of All forgives all who repent, whether made persons of men or persons born to others. But there are the demands of judgment and we must obey Wslarc and his Council."

Dromie nodded. "Then, I will obey. I will leave and lead my people against Rentappenen."

Pamela ran to him! "Wait! What about all of us who didn't get our relatives back? Are you going to get all of them?"

"I need people who look like them."

Greg and all of the people of Ry Pethe stood. "We are willing to go—"

"No! Greg, you can't!" Deb grabbed his arm.

I frowned. "Deb, I agree. Greg, you and Briahh help Pirad. You can't—"

"But, Pirad didn't take us with him to Alb Seer! He has clones of us—" His green eyes opened wide, but he shuddered.

Leticia ran over to them. "He didn't take me, either. But he told me he wants all of you safe, too!"

A man looked at Greg. "I agree! You suffered enough when we were sent to Earth. Many of us talked about this. I was leader of our best fighters. There are 50 of us who are well-trained for this. You are a scientist, and most of us are scientists who don't know how to fight. Let me take our fighters. We know how to convince others to fight. All of you can work here."

They all watched Greg, who looked at them, and all of the larger ones nodded. Greg sighed and his shoulders sagged. "My dear friends. Yes, I will let you do the fighting, this time. Perhaps I am too injured to lead you."

A man with brown eyes and hair hugged him. "Brother, you are able to lead us. I will help you all I can, and do some of what you did. Let us go inside, those who are not leaving. There is much work for us." He led most of them out of the garden and back into the building.

The ones left went to Dromie. "We are ready. I warn all of you, we may not return. Any who are frightened to see fighting again, you may go inside."

Not one left. Brave men and women watched Dromie.

He hugged Ryonne~. "Thank you for your friendship. We will leave now. My people can hide ourselves and give you healing. Let's go save people!"

All of them just vanished.

Ryonne~ wept and we hugged him.

People gathered around. "What will they do? Where are they going? Do they know where our people are?"

With a weary sigh that rumbled on us, Ryonne~ held up both hands. "Friends, Dromie did ne share his plans with me. I think he knows where Rentappenen keeps his enemies. People of Ry Pethe who went with him, they fought much in this war of 300 years. Some were trained by Rentappenen to fight and know his weapons. Myenhharrh went with him. Surely he thinks to gather other Esteerrians to join them. A trader knows much, from people of all occupations, to items useful in battle such as weapons or substances to disable or kill."

A woman came close. "Ry'nao doesn't trust that goblin, and you said you couldn't. How do we know he'll do anything? He might be taking those poor people to be slaves, too!"

Rumbles startled all of us. "Friends, I ne know. Dromie seems to regret his acts. He is a species I ne know. His people were created of inanimate objects that were biological weapons. Such beings would be very different from any we know! I can ne predict how Dromie and his people think, or if they truly repent. That is for Father Of All to decide, ne me."

"All of this religious nonsense! I don't believe any of it! How can such an advanced species as you believe fairy tales?" She stomped a foot in the sand.
