We were promptly dropped off at our new prison and I was explicitly voicing my opinions about being jailed in exile and sharing my depth of betrayal and loathing of the Elders and Andrew. Drae's feelings of abandonment and unjust punishment mixed in and we made sure to project it to the two elders before us. they tried to justify it, for the greater good, and not punishment or banishment. But it was exactly what it was matter how they dressed it up. The elders left and Drae stormed off to explore the grounds because he said that we were put here to die and he wanted to check the promised protection. I was fuming and decided to sever the personal bond with Andrew first just to make it clear how I felt. the bonds with the wild flock, and captivate flock were next. The pain was devastating. It was easy to sever them once I looked at them and understood how they work. I tried to sever Drae's bond but it's fundamentally different and was made on his end so was unable to.
They are no longer my flock! they turned their back on me after everything I helped them with. they threw me away because I was a burden to them. After all the fledglings I helped feed, protect and teach. I should have left them on their own during the evacuation to land on the vent of gas in the park! The traitors.
The only flock I could trust was the four nomads. They had always said the new mix would betray us because we are different. but I defended them saying we came through the same treatment and we were one flock. Rick and Keal only stayed in contact after Kenny's death to keep an eye out for me. if it was up to them we would have broken off and had a separate flock. I was the stubborn one and now look at where I am. Banished and chained to a Kymari as a pet. On a deserted planet. I miss Kenny he would have known what to do. "May what was that massive change has something happened to the flock? Do I need to contact the Elders" he said the last part with resigned dread.
"No, I severed the bonds with the flock. I will never be part of them again and will never communicate with them, they made their bed they can sleep in it! They betrayed me Drae!"Drae's voice appeared in my head " Tolkien is the home planet of the raptors, and every creature on this planet is a predator. Kymari use this planet as the last survivalist training for the elite warriors of the Kymari they have to survive a year in the wild. They have placed us in the base camp. And we are under surveillance audio and visual. I used our venting at the Elders to block every one of the Kymari's extra gifts from tracking us and our thoughts, we have to be able to hide things from them" Drae informed me as he paced and muttered about trusting Elder Dairno with the knowledge of his gift and trying to get closer to fire lizards getting him expulsion and put onto this planet of monsters.
"So what is your plan and since when could you mind communicating?" I asked him "I have been able to mind speak since being trapped in your body. I have already intruded into the deepest and most private parts of you, that violation was bad enough. I figured I would respect your privacy, by only speaking aloud to you. In this situation, however, I consider the exception I have gathered all your private memories and placed them in my subconscious locked up so I can only retrieve them when you teach me how to get to the in-between place of my mind again. back to the situation at hand. We need to build up your strength and get you flying again. then we need to figure out what we want to do next. For now, they have proven that we don't matter to them and we are disposable." That night we just went about setting up the house and our separate spaces acting on our need for space both of us are relatively solitary creatures. We have been trapped in close confinement for a month.
I was communicating with my four wingmates and discovered that Sasha could communicate feelings and images. Just not words she was using the same communication that my bond with Drae uses so we have had a good long catch up.
she has been helping improve my survival instincts and knowledge as she has lived truly wild with some of the animals found on this planet. Showing the best ways to evade and what the activated sense or energy field felt like, of the creatures she has come in contact with. Her senses were just as detailed as mine. yet she has her eyes to confirm and add colours to her mapping function. Airalin has had closer encounters with the biggest predators found on Tlokie. He has also seen some Kymari elite killing them on Earth, so he shared all his knowledge with me. He has also explained the bond Drae and I share as he also connected with an empath human trapped in the laboratory area where he was kept, he explained that our sixth sense is where the connection was made for them.
For the last four weeks, Drae and I kept to ourselves not interacting with each other in person just using mind communication. We have had Elder Dairno trying to talk to us and convince us that it was just a safe location for our gifts to develop naturally and without the need for confinement on the ship. No just surrounding us with predators so we cannot escape the prison.
I managed to sniff out the cameras and listening devices in my warren and destroyed them with my flame, they tried to get Drae to check on me but flaming the entrance was enough to stop them from asking again.
Drae for his part claimed they tried to set him up. now that he has managed to close the bond between us down. And no longer wished to communicate with the Elders.
He started stripping the whole house of cameras that I had flamed at on our second day here. Tomorrow we are expecting the resupply and possible Elder invasion. I can't wait to get my claws into them.
