Chapter 14

SPACESHIP

Aiden

Getting shot is not as fun as it might sound. First of all, you still feel the pain, which is not at all pleasant, then you seem to be flying. It takes all of your concentration just to remain sentient. All at once, your breath is taken away, only to return when you are solid again.

Still, better than dying, I suppose.

I had to have Esmeralda ready to reanimate me, in case something like that did happen, so the concept of reanimation wasn't new to either of us. We know how to take care of ourselves. Alex, though...

The guy's a baby. And that's coming from a guy who grew up wearing robes and making tea. He needs proper training, which will be difficult, because not only has my only hideout been discovered, but it's also kinda destroyed...

We can't train him in a ship, plus if we built a central base, the empire would find out. An underground sanctuary could work, but where would we get the materials? I decided to pose my questions to Alice.

"Could we go back to your planet?"

"No" I put my hand to my forehead."They would expect that."

"What about my planet? We already have an underground system there."

"Yeah, but what about the people? The planet is uninhabitable."

"We'd relocate them"

"Could we do that without Alex knowing?"

"What, you don't trust my brother?"

"No, I do! It's just... Is it the right time to tell him?"

"Hmm..." Alice put her head into her hands "No... but when the time is right..."

"We begin the relocation and recruitment?"

Alice looked up, and smiled

"You read my mind"
