The human stories of the earth ending with fire and ice have some wisdom in it after all. Across the planet volcanoes erupted, and earthquakes and tidal waves wreaked havoc. The place is falling towards an ice age, due to the debris in the atmosphere that has blocked the sun. the Kymari are terraforming Mars but have put a biodome on that danity little planet Tessa once sang the morning song on. they know without a doubt we cannot go long without it, as the last two weeks on board this ship have proven.
The flock knows they can block the Elders but has voted to only block private things based on individual desecration. With Drae's behaviour changes, coupled with my problems, the Elders decided to separate us from the flock. we are now confined to the Elders ship.
They have the main park that was moved off Earth and placed on sector 3.88-923 so the flock could be rehoused first in the biodome. Until Earth can be resettled they have taken large populations of each species of flora and fauna of Earth to preserve what they can of current day earth.
So in the morning, I am moved to a small shuttle with Drae to sing my hash-throaty song. And then placed back in this little room.
I have spent a week getting myself back in order after Drae's messing around but some things have become permanent like my self-awareness.I can push it to the background but I know at any given time what is happening in my body. It's disturbing to know what nutrients I'm absorbing through my digestive system!
I also know what is around me. Not with sight but I can feel the energy of something. It boggles Me sometimes, I just know things, it is like all my senses joined together and created an internal map of everything around me. I can even feel right now that Elder Dairno is in a meeting with one of those ant-like aliens, down a hallway and two rooms to the left. Drae said they are discussing issues on their home planet, and how Kymari could help.
Drae's gift activated my sixth sense when he focused on me during that fateful meal. He had been wondering if there was more to me like the others as he suspected. And unknowingly used our new tenuous bond to tap into my thoughts and the result was a joining of the minds.
I had been focused on my sight loss and had unconsciously used his senses to give me information but colours were somehow muted so that danger and new energy flows could be understood. It was due to the way Kymari's minds work Elder Dairno said, as they break everything down to fundamentals and slowly build up to the full picture. But because I was doing the processing, I got stuck at the stage I could understand and be familiar with. The open flow between us leads to the overlapping of minds. Where Drae's supercomputer mind used mine as an extra hard drive and started processing all the information stored within it then used the bond to continue the gathering of new information, from me, the flock and his gift. It continued while we were unconscious, but was focused on just me, pushing my consciousness deep into Drae's mind and exploring my subconscious
Once that was complete it started correcting data to its template. That was when Drae and I woke up. However, because we were carrying out our normal behaviour in the body of the other. I accidentally added a subconscious to Drae's mind. I unleashed all his senses, emotions and instincts, as well as basic body functions like breathing and heartbeats inside it.
So as a result now Drae has had trouble with control. his emotions are at full extremes. His senses are at such high levels, that he gets overwhelmed.
We have had to use the bond to settle things down. I'm teaching him how I process things. Then the Elders teach him how to calm and use his gift as well as his new skills using ancient techniques from before when Kymari was more primal.
I have also started with the same techniques training because our bond has become a permanent open two-way bond. So everything flows between us. if I'm frustrated Drae is. If he is raging I'm flaming.
The accident has changed so much. I am blind, the chemical mixture of my flammable mucus, my voice and even the colours of the scales on my chest and arms, even the temperatures I need to function. I'm no longer the same May.
This is the third time my whole world has changed.
first I battled from being a homeless orphan living in the streets, heavily addicted to drugs. To become in the top 10 athletes in my nation in mixed martial arts. Then I was kidnapped and became the second survivor of the experiment that turned me into this crazy creature. Just as I was getting content and loving my new world of freedom with wings, my world turned again.
" May please don't think things that get such a strong reaction. I have just managed to get into a decent level mood and now My eyes are leaking, I'm picking up slightly sad and frustrated emotions from you" Drae said exasperated.
"Can we try blocking the bond again, I want my privacy back. Or could you separate your emotions from your instincts and take them back to your conscious control again?" I complained "I wish it was that easy. I cannot find this subconscious to retrieve anything, and you know the bond can't be closed completely," he said getting more frustrated. We have been snapping at each other for the last few days understanding each other points yet resentful at the lack of boundaries. Thank goodness we can now shield our thoughts from each other just not the emotions.Elder Dairno walked into the room " May we want to remove the last of your cast today as the bones are strong enough and to start working on your strength" " That is the best news yet. Let's go" I was excited finally some small freedom.
" ok May you no longer be on the medication so try not to overuse your muscles as we need to build up strength slowly" "I promise Jarha"
"Oh wow the scales on your chest and arms match beautifully with the new dark emerald and black on your wings" Jarha exclaimed
"What do you mean? They can't have changed too Tasha's didn't why did mine"
"Well from what we have gathered so far one of the chemicals you use in the flammable mucus is extracted from the seeds and skin on the fruit and sent through your wings by blood to be synthesised by the sunlight when sunbathing. It's then concentrated into the chemical which is deposited into storage glands in the back of your throat. Your concentration of those chemicals is stronger than the ones available in the other fire lizards. It might be drawing from your scales or disposing excess into the scales or it could have just changed the membrane of your wings to cope with the concentration as it has in your throat and mouth." Jarha was pondering on the possibilities.
"The Baclj fruit has high levels of a nutrient that could be changed to a flammable component if mixed. we use it in some explosives as a heat/ stability element." Drae adds.
"The overall effects of the changes are beautiful, Drae should share it with you later when they have been polished. the contrast of greens and black, against the lighter mint green scales on your chest and arms, is remarkable. And if you wish to know how the changes occurred you could use your new awareness and find out if it is dangerous to your health" Elder Dairno commented.
