Gaunt Galaxy / Blue Angel: Book 1

Break

There was a Purposian planet, Tesonica, that had a problem with a rebellious group of Purposians. The Governor of Tarsus had asked that we come to help them celebrate the Peace of Tarsus Feast, they wanted us to be the honored guest. The Sajar had invited us to a celebration of family event that they were giving especially in our honor! Qutar High Council wanted our opinions on the proper way to judge the convicted traitors. Earth Galactic Affairs chairman, James Kerrith, wanted to meet with us on developing further Galactic partnerships. A planet of Jarscoon that need help with an invasion. There was at least another dozen or so will you come, will you attend invitations galaxy wide!! I was waiting for the Sartaril sense to kick in and tell me which way to go.

There were so many invitations or calls for help that we did not know which way to go. Also any one of these could be a trap, waiting for us to innocently jump into a maelstrom of chaos! That is why I waited upon the gift given to me to know which way to go.

We took advantage of the down time, I would teleport us to a remote location, transform into a Kysharisk and we would spend the day exploring the countryside of Qutar. I would change back and forth from me to Kysharisk, we would have lunch or make love at any of the natural wonders of Qutar! We had so much fun, it felt like I was back in school again going on a date, Lererial said it was like when Kittmaw would let her slip away with friends and they would spend days in the woods exploring and foraging! We were foraging, we had wild berries and herbs, fresh kill from the forests, fresh fish from the rivers and lakes. I had never felt so alive, I had never had so much fun and it was good for us. We had no regrets, we were two mates enjoying each other and in the original setting that the All Father had placed the Kitteah in!

We came home every night or sometimes during the day to check on the Kitts and other family. Sometimes we were home during the day and out all night. Being a Kysharisk in the dark was a whole new world, they were made for the dark. I know now where my own special eyesight had come from, the Kysharisk genetics inside me! Even in pitch blackness, the world was in full view, in the dark I could zoom my Kysharisk vision in on an ant on a tree at a hundred meters and tell if it was male or female! The dark fur along with blend made it impossible to spot a Kysharisk on a dark night, yet they knew where everything was around them even better than in the day!

Lererial loved to ride at night, she would hug her body close to mine and blend her body and mind into me. She saw what I saw, felt what I felt, together like this we felt unstoppable. We felt that nothing could find us or know we were even there. We were feeling guilty that we were neglecting our protectors, our companions, so we invited our Ky mates to run with us. They were not used to us not riding them and was uneasy at first but soon learned to love it, too. It gave them some extra freedom to be with each other and enjoy nature, again. One such night Lererial had decided to allow Slug and Belle to fetch dinner, Belle was the tracker and Slug the muscle, they tracked and killed a Forest Doery. Forest Doerys were very prized among the hunters of Qutar! They were a deer like creature, slightly telepathic, very keen senses, very fast and very paranoid. Only an expert could bag one of these, and because of this they had become over populated. They were only gone about 30 minutes when they returned with a large male Doery!! What a prize, the meat was tender and succulent and there was enough left to take some back to the rest of the family so we went home a little early.

The next afternoon we were awakened by Kittmaw stating that a late lunch was being served. When we stepped out of our room we smelled it, Kittmaw had added her own touches to the Doery and the smell was amazing. We let the family have most of what she had cooked as we had ate well the night before, but we had to at least taste what smelled so good.

I told Slug right then and there." You and Belle have to teach Lererial and I to hunt these things, this tastes to good to be true."

Slug and Belle had a good laugh and replied, "That is something that just can't be taught, you have to be born with it."

"Then I will just have to try my luck sometimes!" We all had another good laugh!

We had almost a forte of "off" time, which was good, it gave everyone time to adjust to the new offspring and siblings. It gave the four of us some more time in the wilds together, Belle and I did manage to get a Doery, but she had to help me with the catch, it seems that I was not quite born with the right instincts, at least the meat was just as good, even if Slug and Lererial did have the last laugh!! It gave a lot of family time to those who would have to stay on Qutar. It's a good thing Ke & Se were growing as we were definitely a "growing" family, they were constantly having to build more facilities for us. This was good for them, the more they gave to us the larger they became, they were almost twice the size of other Ovarunt their age!

Alert, ALERT, Sheraira is in labor, Dad was beside himself. Sheraira was trying to calm him down, everything was under control. Lererial and I were in the next room and were there in seconds. I tried to calm Dad down while Lererial played the midwife in the delivery. A male and a female were born, both were true Kysharisk but with a powerful aura about them. These would be the leaders that take the Kysharisk people to where they should be, side by side with the Kitteah in the rule of not only Qutar, but the Galaxy!

...Things had been too quite, since the defeat of the "The Thing" it was as if the whole of the effort had gone underground. We knew it was only to regroup, to make other plans, to allow the Thing time to heal from the wound we had torn in it's mind. They were minor disturbances but none of this got our attention, it was something seemingly small that set the alarms off in my mind. There in one of the outer bands of the Galaxy, in a system that was still young, two planets were inhabited and they were in constant war with other. This was old news, what got my attention was the fact that one had just "developed" a new set of weapons that would give them an advantage over the other. Even that would not have gotten my attention except that the new weapons were several hundred cycles advanced!! There was an outside hand involved here and this system just happens to only be about 20 light cycles from a suspected Orphanean base, one that had not been investigated yet because of it's extreme distance from Qutar, about 50,000 light cycles. Coincidence, at this particular time, I don't think so!
