Gaunt Galaxy / Blue Angel: Book 1

System 12678

The base was destroyed, many high yield bombs and thermofission devices were placed throughout the base and when they were set off the whole cloud dispersed. Makes you wonder if the whole thing was not created by some device of sorts that we had missed?! This part of the operation of Mykereyl was through, done, over, too bad we didn't get him with it?!!

We began to look for the system that Amarast had heard of, it didn't take us long to find it, only a couple of light cycles away. It was a standard sun with nine planets, the third one out was green and full of atmosphere. I began to scan and realized that their was a sentient race on the planet, it was just that they were in their infancy, they were just beginning to use metals in their lives!

There were hectares and hectares of jungle where there was no sentient life that we could set up camp in. We all took Ghost to the planet surface and made camp, Lererial and I, Slug and Belle spent the first 60 hours in the wilds. Two whole days of freedom and running and love making and more running, I became a Kysharisk and Lererial, big with child, rode on my back as we raced Belle and Slug. At the end of two days we came into the camp exhausted and happy, stress free for the first time in many forte!! We slept for a whole day, then went for more runs exploring the wilds of this wonderful planet. I told Urslamere to go and hunt in the wild as she chose, I let Slug and Belle hunt in their native way. This was an untamed world and there were many beasts that would suit our tastes. Lererial and I even went on a hunting expedition, I became the Kysharisk and she my spotter. We bagged several very succulent deer like animals that added to the larder of our family. The others did as well, Urslamere outdid us all and came back with enough to supply all her needs and more!

We had needed the rest, the time to regather family ties, the time with our mates. This was a very much needed break! Lererial and I with Slug and Belle had gone out for a leisurely day of exploring when Lererial and Belle went into labor, we were far from everyone else. We could have called and everyone would have been there quickly because of Ghost, but we didn't! Lererial & Belle had grown accustomed to delivery, we all had always been together when this happened, I had helped deliver all our children as Slug had with Belle. Lererial & Belle lay down on some soft moss under a tree next to a small brook. Their labor was intense but short, I soon held two beautiful S-Que princes in my hands. They were beautiful, perfect S-Que Kitteah, they looked just like their mother!! Slug held two very beautiful Kysharisk Princesses that also looked like their mother.

We stayed by the brook for about a day as the babies nursed and gained strength. I was going to teleport us back to the ship and Lererial stopped me, "These are S-Que Princes and Ky Princesses! They have been born as the Princes and Princesses of old were born. Let there first journey be on the backs of our trusted friends so they learn the meaning of sharing and trust!"

Slug and Belle bowed deeper than I had ever saw them bow, they felt that taking Princes and their Princesses on their first journey was a very special honor. I placed one Prince and its Ky mate on each of their backs, the baby Kitteah & Ky instinctively grabbed the Kysharisk hair as they snuggled with their mates. I became a Kysharisk and bowed as deeply as they had before Lererial, "You are not my Princess, you are my Queen!"

She bowed in return, "And you are my King!" she lay upon my back and watched in awe as we journeyed back to the camp, and thought of that fateful day on Orisis station when something more than fate had brought us together! Back at camp everybody was making so much fuss over the two new set of twins. DeElsha Zorfim was especially taken with these new babies, I think she was finally healing and becoming a part of the family. She and Lesamoin became instant God Mothers of the new boys and girls, DeElsha had always been a little uneasy around the Kysharisk until now! Her and Belle had become the closest of friends.

"Good morning gorgeous, you look absolutely ravishing today!" I was happy to see Lererial rested and healthy after giving birth to twins in the wilds!

"And Hello to you, you handsome hunk of human crossbreed!!!" this was the favorite name she liked to call me when we were alone.

"You really do look great, and I'm so proud of the way you handled everything. You see, I happen to know that you had to divide your heart into three pieces when the boys were born. You are a true mother, you give of yourself first! So... while you were resting I kind of rejuvenated that heart of yours and gave you a little bit more of mine so you could recover faster!"

"YOU!!!... That is one of the reasons that I love you so much, you never cease to look out for your family," she pulled me tight and held me for quite some time. While she held me I felt my heart begin to add more to her heart until they were equal in strength, "What did you just do??!!"

"I need you at full strength, I can't make it without you, I am the reason you are having Kitts. I will share in the process more than just being the biological donor! My family is my reason for living!!"

"You are my true Kittar Rosfal, I could never have asked for a better mate, you complete me in every way!

"And you are my Kittar Rosfal, without you I am nothing but a lump of half human flesh!"

We hugged each other and felt the strength of our hearts beginning to build, I looked into Lererial's eyes and saw the fire rekindled, it was a long, and wonderful night!

We needed to go home, but we were enjoying this raw planet, it was recharging or batteries and helping us to overcome the battles we had faced. We needed to know what was going on at home and be a part of it, I know we have an obligation to the Galaxy but we have an obligation to home as well!
