Gaunt Galaxy / Blue Angel: Book 1

Reunion

We headed home, at a crazy pace, probably way too fast!! All of us were ready to see family, Lererial & Belle wanted to show off their new twins! Ke & Se were ready to see Garceara! We were moving at break neck speeds, what had taken us nearly a forte to go originally had taken barely ten days to return. We came into Qutar space tired but very happy!!

Mom & Dad, Kittmaw and Marsoon were all there to greet us! When Amarast stepped off Ghost I thought Lererial's Dad would collapse! He ran to his brother and threw himself on him and wept, Amarast also wept. It had been over 20 cycles of thinking his brother was dead because of a decision he had made. Now to know that he was alive, this was a true miracle!! They touched their heads together in Kitteah fashion and each shared the last 20 cycles with the other, there were frowns at first then they both broke into large smiles!!

"Lererial, you have become exactly what your Kittmaw told us you would. We all used to think it was the wishes of a very proud Kittmaw. Now the prophesy stands before us in true life! Benjy, who would ever have thought that the Sartaril would have come from a fledgling planet like Earth? A half breed at that!!" his laugh and smile were contagious, everyone laughed! "You are a very special individual, with many special talents and abilities. You have become a very powerful being, possibly the most powerful in the Galaxy at this time. I have spent the last couple of forte in your presence and not one time have I heard or felt you boast of any of this. As a matter of fact, it is usually the opposite, you speak of just how insignificant you are. How that without your family you would be nothing at all!! Thank you for being who you are, please don't ever change, you truly are the one to bring balance back to the Galaxy!"

There was a lot of agreement with what he said, everyone was pleased with the way things were going and how much had already changed around them.

"I could not have said it better myself!" The Grand Patriarch Father had just entered our thoughts. "Amarast it is good to see that you are still on this side of the journey, welcome back old friend!"

"Patriarch! It is so very good to visit with you again!"

It turns out that the Patriarch and Amarast had met in person many cycles back in affairs of Qutar. Amarast had needed to meet with the Ovarunt High Council on behalf of the Kitteah and had done so "inside" the Patriarch, they had quickly become friends.

"I see that we agree on many things! This young being is continually allowing himself to be the tool of the All Father and doing things that are helping the Galaxy!"

"You guys are giving me way too much credit!!" I grabbed Lererial by the hand and stepped forward with her in tow. "This is the reason of any greatness that I may have. This Angel, my angel, my beautiful, wonderful Blue Angel!!!" Lererial was blushing like a school girl! "With her by my side I can do anything! Also, we have amassed a wonderful host of family that are our support, our life giving support! You see the Sartaril is not an individual, it is an ideal, it is a force of good. One person, one couple, alone, could never accomplish the tasks that are needed. But a family, that loves and cares for each other as this family does, we can do whatever is needed! Me... I just got lucky enough to be a part of it."

"That is the very thing that makes you who you are, Benjy QuGolden, and why I am glad that you are my mate" Lererial grabbed me an kissed me in front of everyone, now I was the one blushing and everybody was laughing and cheering!!!

It was a wonderful few days of family and friends. Mom & Dad Rusarico came by with the new twin Kysharisk females, they were growing more beautiful every day. Their fur was silver and not the usual Kysharisk blueish black, a shimmery silver. It must have been the human mix in the DNA, Damn Humans, always changing things, Ha!!

Sheraira laughed and turned to Slug, "I am with cubs again! Twins and one is a male, Slug you now have the brother you wanted!"

Slug came to his Mother and they touched noses, he bowed and placed his hand over his Mothers slightly protruding tummy. She then bowed to him in return. "It is done, my duties to the Clan have been passed to my brother, he will be the successor to Father instead of I. My and Belle's place is by the side of the Sartaril!"

Lererial came and stood between mother and son, she placed one hand on each of their heads and brought all three of their heads together. "Thank you Slug for your dedication to me, always you have placed my well being before your own! Thank you Sheraira for your gift to me."

"And thank you Lererial for your gift to me!!" Lererial's mother joined them and was in tears of joy as she showed us all a small baby bump in the middle of her tummy!!

I thought Lererial was going to squeeze her Mother in two she hugged her so hard. Lererial bowed before her mother, placed her hand on the bump, a smile lit her face! It was a male, she was going to have a brother!! A brother to take the throne that she had never felt was hers to inherit anyway.

Sheraira came forward to congratulate Pentolep, when they touched hands both ladies came to an abrupt stop. They looked at each other funny, shrugged, then touched their tummies together, a smile came upon each of their faces as the new Prince and the female of the twins bonded to each other, even before birth. This was another day for the record books, another group of events that were bringing Qutar to the place of power that it rightfully belonged. The Kitteah and the Kysharisk would add another strong force in the balancing of the Galaxy!

The celebration went on for days, all of Qutar was celebrating the announcement of the Royal pregnancy. Everyone that remembered when the Queen was expecting Lererial, were worried about her health. This time was different, the Queen had been renewed, her healing matrix was at full strength. She felt strong and knew that there would be no problems this time, thanks to her wonderful daughter, Lererial.
