Selyna laughs at the thought "Me and Govis? Mates? Hah, he'd
wish! No, we're just good friends and we currently serve as
magistrates for her greatness, the unburnt one."
Govis turns back to Selyna and Rokarr: "Queen Rokarr, and with
all due respect Vihdolmyr, but I'd never marry a heathen that
has adopted snark and sarcasm as her religion"
Selyna smiles and she makes moves similar to a preaching priest
of the light, while also trying to make her voice more deep "One
day! One day you shall see the Light and you shall abandon your
devotion to the demon you call Nyrnsaankhor!"
Govis: "Propably the same day that you abandon your horrific
accent when speaking Urvanyen."
Selyna: "TE MUAAR then!"
Govis: "It's TA MUIR goddamn it!"
The two aristocrats start laughing together and drink from their
goblets.
The parasite drones return with absolutely no data and seem to
be stunned by a powerful force.
-~-
Myrsa takes some deep breaths and from her body's stance one can
understand she feels rather unsure: "Are you sure Talmyr Zagara?
I will try and Hold the dragon with all my strength, I hope it
will be sufficient for you to recover its thoughts ..though I
doubt you might find anything coherent." Myrsa turns at the
Dragon and starts muttering ancient words in the old nomadic
Urvanyen dialect the Taggarens spoke, in a few seconds a
luminescent green aura sprouts from the mask and finds its way
to the dragon's eyes ...the dragon now seems completely still
as if frozen, but it certainly has not lost conciense, in its
mind powerful feelings of sadness and fear overwhelm it as it
has lost its connection to Rynza, screams and terrible imagery,
destruction, darkness and then loneliness appear ..out of the
chaos a few words can be heard: "Curses, I failed!"
-~-
-~-
Lord Ator looks sceptic but then raises and gives a slight nod
with his head "This is a brave and wise decision Lady Kilysa,
House Martael could protect you in our lands, but not if you
leave ...Know that you have the right to keep the device by
Martael law and that the Talmyr has no say in this. I hope that
you are true to your word and you will not use the device's
knoweledge for deeds of darkness, but for illumination ...you
will always be welcome in our hold, no matter what happens and
if you ever need assistance; I shall answer. ...As for your
question regarding lineages; the Taggarens were monsters yes,
but it is they who created the empire, the masks, the throne
...we cannot simply forget that and allow everyone assume their
place! The result would be chaos as everyone would demand a
piece of the imperial legacy ...the Valxaryens have so far
managed to keep the balance through forming alliances and
pleasing lords, but nothing can change the fact that they're
lawless usurpers."
The lord turns to Myranda "Captain Myranda of House Lorinvax,
pherhaps I was rude lately but I hope a harsh Lyrite noble would
not take offense like a feeble Shyrite would ...I'm pleased
with your integrity, skill in negotiations and devotion and do
not think that House Martael has forgotten your service over the
years ...you might as well be adressed as Admiral Lorinvax from
now on, you shall be placed in command of the Fifth Fleet in
Lyr, your homeplanet."
Myranda nearly burst into tears, she bows her head down and
kneels, her voice sounds very high pitched "T-thank you my Lord.
This is the greatest honour..."
Ator looks at the rest of the crew "And of course, I can see
your misfit crew has performed quite well ...they shall
receive raise in their salary, a fireblade of honour and montly
vacations"
The crew all kneel down, Alina gets an annoyingly happy grin in
her face by the time Lord Ator mentions 'vacations'.

Rokarr to Selyna: “ah I see, I suppose he’s not that lucky
then.”
Rokarr to Govis: “I’m new to such things as snark & sarcasm but
they seem quite fun.”
Neither Rokarr or the Krith partook of any fluids except water,
she wanted to have full advantage of her opportunity. As the
parasite drones cawled up her leg & rested on her back She was
greatly disappointed that they had nothing on the creature, what
the heck was it. She started reaching out with her psionics
looking into the minds of Ghashyr that seemed well intoxicated
to see if they knew anything concerning the creature.
-_
-_
Zagara: “Yes Talmyr Myrsa, I am sure.”
Zagara let go of Rynza & motioned her to stand back. She then
walks up to the dragon putting 2 hands on its head & the other 2
on its neck trying to bore her way into the creatures mind going
through its memories & knowledge.
While trying to search through the dragons mind she spoke to it
psionically in a powerful demanding tone. “WHAT WERE YOU TRYING
TO DO WITH MY GRANDDUAGHTER, ANSWER ME NOW.”
-_
-_
Kilysa: “Thank Ator, I will not be keeping it indefinitely, I’m
going to study it & see if I can develop something that will
reverse its effects or at least advanced some of our
capabilities in absorbing radiation. After that I will came back
with the device. If you wish to send any scientist or engineers
to Nuzeikurga they are more than welcome.”
“I see, I suppose ill understand the ways of Ghashyr more
clearer in time.”
2 drone fighters flew into the hole & in the cave. 1 fighter had
1 tentacle that seemed to grow out of its under side & grab the
Taggaren device & flew back to the ship while the other fighter
scanned the cave to see what else was in the cave.

Selyna seems entertained by Rokarr's attempt at snark "You can
say that, yes."
Govis laughs "Hah, it seems House Malqamrax got a new member!"
Selyna returns immediately with a comeback "And you propably cry
inside for not being that new member..."
No one of the Ghashyr seemed to be concerned with any weird
creature (apart from some thoughts regarding the aliens),
however a lot of pleasant feelings and thoughts were present
..some naughty even. Only Rysannox was thinking something about
a new tax that shoud be implemented on bi-planetary convoys, or
something ..how miserable! Selyna's thoughts revolved around
Rokarr and that "she has potential", Govis was thinking for a
comeback. ...and Sarxaxa ...well Sarxaxa Ymbrel was thinking
that a White-haired, blue-eyed male Ghashyr should return and
bring order while taking her in his arms and then sit on a chair
covered in fire ...must be a crazy lady, or something.
-~-
Myrsa nods for a second to Zagara and immediately continues to
keep the Dragon in stasis.
Zagara initialy can only listen to screams, unpleasant sounds,
cruel memories, cries, all mixed together, however as she
focuses more she suddenly listens to a powerful serpentine
voice, the peculiar psionic voice can be felt through all of
Zagara's body as if its frequency can affect even matter, though
it seems more like an inside voice than directed to Zagara
herself {{{"AS IF YOU CAN MINDSEE SO THAT I COULD RESPOND,
RIDICULOUSLY LARGE, TALKING ANT!"}}}
-~-
-~-
"We will discuss about what happens to the device in a later
time, Lady Kilysa, Restorer of Remelax. Just take it away from
the empire. Farewell and thank you again in behalf of all the
Frontiers!" The Lord's hologram ends.
The other fighter scanned the cave to see what else was in: The
cave beared nothing else other than 1000 year old laser beam
cuts in the stone, however in a small dike the skeleton of a
Ghashyr was there, propably as old as the cuts, the clothes,
colours and metal patterns had all been worn out by extremely
high radiation and moisture, judging from the amount and quality
of armour the rank was propably low; that of a common foot
soldier ...further bellow can be seen what was propably a
disruptor, completely crystalised after one millenia of sitting
in such a wet and radioactive environment.

Rokarr laughs alitte: “Rokarr of the Malqamrax hive, or house
rather.”
Rokarr was secretly entertained by the thoughts she was picking
up, the naughty thoughts made her think of her mate who was back
on her Hive main Hive Carrier, Rokarr’s conclusion about
Rysannox & Sarxaxa was that they needed to find a mate & fast.
After the initial amusment she was slightly annoyed that she
couldn’t find anything about the creature the easy way, she
could psionically bore into one of the Ghashyr’s minds but it
would be difficult to do without mother finding out. She would
just have to wait & enjoy herself for now.
Tarakith calmly contacts Rokarr: “Auntie Rokarr, I know your
busy but may we please dance & finish eating later?”
Rokarr: “Yes sure why not, just be careful.”
The Krith quietly rushed over close to the musicians & started
dancing the way Alina had showed them.
-_
-_
Zagara: “ANT!!!!, I AM FAR BEYOND JUST A SIMPLE CREATURE, FINE
YOU DO NOT WANT TO ANSWER MY QUESTION, ILL START ERASING YOUR
MEMORIES UNTIL YOU DO.”
A huge amount of psionic energy was gathering around Zagara as
she was attempting to erase the dragons memories of the past 2
weeks.
-_
-_
Kilysa to Ator: “Farewell.”
After the hologram ends Kilysa turns to Myranda: “I hope you all
will be careful, the imperials have many secrets they have been
keeping, I don’t know very many but I do know that the power
masks still exist as well, which is why im concerned, so im
going to give all of the coordinates to Nuzeikurga & a psionic
marker so any Formic you come across will recognize you as being
a friend of mine. So if anything should happen while im gone &
you need to escape you are welcome to come, make sure you ask
for me, some of my sisters will be difficult should you run into
them first being that you are not part of the swarm, but make
sure you insist that you mean no harm & that you need to see
me.”
Myranda & her crew suddenly hand knowledge of the galactic map
the Formics use, & they would feel as if they have a permanent
boost in their physical energy level as a result of the marker
Kilysa placed.
“ah yes before I leave would mind if I planted a few spawning
shrubs?”
(It so it has started: Kilysa!!!! Last Egg of Zagara, Awakener
of Chrymerions, Restorer of Remelax, lol)

Govis raises his goblet once more: "To the new Laor on the
table!"
Selyna and a few others follow suit: "To Rokarr Malqamrax!"
As Rokarr and the Krith start dancing in traditional Urvan
rythms the Ghashyr seem confused but join them one after one,
the actors bow and leave the scene while the band starts playing
the Arganraxel clan wedding song "Pillars of Time"
HTML https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=not_embedded&v=azjjgRcBUp8.<br
/>A few shout "Ta Vhin!" in excitement. The Ghashyr form couples
and move in turns as the music starts overwhelming all, one can
only admire the beautiful colours and the elegant Shyrite
aristocrats' costumes and their finesse in dance.
Selyna while dancing with Govis next to Rokarr adresses the
Formic Queen, still quite surprised from the fact that aliens
know traditional Urvan dances "I'm surprised! Who taught you so
well? I will have to teach you Othosian ones as well!"
-~-
-~-
Myrsa seems exhausted by using the power mask to hold the dragon
still, however she puts all her strength to maintain the hold on
it.
Suddenly the plethora of mixed horrible sounds stop, the
serpentine voice can be heard clear now, and far more louder
than before {{{"WHAT!! YOU CAN MINDSEEE? A THOUSAND JUBILATONS!
I HAD LOSSST ALL HOPE ...THISSSS CHANGESSS EVERYTHING! I HAVE
SSSO MUCH TO TELL YOU ANT! AND NO - I NEVER WISSSHED THE HARM OF
YOUR SSSTUPID ANT-GHASSSHYR YOU CALL RYNZA!}}} all efforts to
erase the dragons memories seem fruitless, as a vast collection
of more than 10'000 years of memories pile up and force Zagara
to stop.
-~-
-~-
Myranda kneels followed by the rest of the crew: "Know noble
Kilysa that you have a friend in all of us. We thank you for
everything you have done and never fear anything, as we will
always be there if you need us ...for us Frontierers may know
hardships, death, squalor, poverty and destruction but have
never known fear when one calls upon our honour!"
The captain ..err, admiral, rises and in a less epic tone she
responds to Kilysa "Of course Kilysa, what will these shrubs
do?"
(She didn't play it safe, yes ...but what is the 'warm
relations' of a Valxaryen Empress in comparisson to an oath of
honour of true warriors! Kilysa is growing up...)

Rokarr laughed, I think I like Ghashyr’s sense of humor she
thought to herself.
Rokarr felt awkward dancing & didn’t particularly like it but
decided she would give it a shot dancing with
Selyna while dancing with Govis next to Rokarr adresses the
Formic Queen, still quite surprised from the fact that aliens
know traditional Urvan dances "I'm surprised! Who taught you so
well? I will have to teach you Othosian ones as well!"
Rokarr: “We meet a few noble Ghashyr on Remelax, who taught the
younglings about dancing & music which are new concepts for
Formic’s.”
-_
-_
Zagara had never meet a creature with 10,000 years of personal
memories, such was unheard of, though Zagara had shared memories
of Formic’s dating back several hundred thousand years, those
memories were only of major & significant events were as this
dragon literally had 10,000 year’s worth of memory.
Zagara notices Myrsa’s exhaustion & decides to cut the
conversation shorter then she wanted.
“VERY WELL DRAGON, WHAT EVER YOU HAVE TO SAY TELL RYNZA OR
MYSELF AT A LATER TIME.”
Zagara took her hands off of the dragon & swiftly went up to
Myrsa: “Do you need me to heal you Talmyr Myrsa.”
-_
-_
Kilysa bows slightly as Myranda kneels: “If any of you she need
anything of me just ask.”
she thinks a moment before responding to Myranda’s question:
“Well Admiral, spawning shrubs are used by Formics to change the
atmosphere of a planet to a more prime condition for Formics,
they release airborne nutrients to help vegetation that is
already present & help heal & or strengthen the ozone of a
planet.”
(She didn't play it safe, yes ...but what is the 'warm
relations' of a Valxaryen Empress in comparisson to an oath of
honour of true warriors! Kilysa is growing up...)
(Aye, Honour over warm relations & politics.)

Selyna raises her eybrow and laughs a little "Martaels dancing?
Must've been a dance in the name of Honour or something!"
After a few turns most of the Ghashyr, including all officials,
return to their seats, however a few courtiers continue dancing.
-~-
-~-
Zagara did manage to see a few of the dragon's memories.. Many
of the memories Zagara got to see were dark and regarded
nihilistic existencialistic theories, some contained thinking in
the dark of fictional alien societies, as well as speaking to
fictional people, travelling blind and lost underground, hitting
against rocks, a lot of pain ...on the other hand the non-blind
memories the Formic Queen managed to salvage were very vivid;
...destruction all over a city, screams, fire consuming a
building. Then various memories, from different places, as if
belonging to different persons....
The dragon furious raised its tone even more, being concious of
what Zagara was trying to do{{{HOWWW RUUDEE! YOU MINDSTEAL!!"}}}
but upon realising Zagara's will to end the conversation
{{{...WAIT! NOOO, DON'T LEAVE ANT!!!!}}}
As soon as Zagara takes her hands off the dragon, Myrsa falls to
her knees, and then rises up again, evidently in huge pain, to
restrain the dragon with a less strong spell... "N-no Talmyr
Zagara, I'm fine. How are you? Should I sedate it?"
In the meantime Zagara can now hear a terrible mix of sounds in
her mind as well as phrases coming from the dragon in a very
unpleasant form {{{"SSSSSS SSSIDHHHIOTHH ANTHHHH - MNDSSSEEHHHH
HNOWHHHH SSSSSSS"}}}
-~-
-~-
Myranda: "Admiral... sounds weird after so many years being
called captain. ...This is very nice of you, I wonder what
Formic vegetation looks like."
Alina: "Well, I hope it's not coniferous ...Doth can be pretty
boring with its vast coniferous forests and mountains."
Thiror brings out a small flask "Oi was keepin' this fo' an
occas'n such as this! Lady Kilysa wo'd ya loike some? It's
Arshynorite Mythrafal" Myranda seems intrigued and willing to
get some, as does Alina ...Rosdax rolls his eyes.

Rokarr takes her seat. The Krith linger alittle but their hunger
gets the better of them so they sit down & resume but at a bit
slower pace than before.
Rokarr looks at the Krith, It may be only a week or few days
away before they start she thought.
-_
-_
Zagara dismisses the dragons plea not to leave.
Zagara: “Im fine, no we will stop for now, I wish to share what
I saw in the dragons mind if you are ready, being that ive
always been a part of a hive mind so many lonely memories are
disturbing.”
As soon as Zagara takes her hands off the dragon, Myrsa falls to
her knees, and then rises up again, evidently in huge pain, to
restrain the dragon with a less strong spell... "N-no Talmyr
Zagara, I'm fine. How are you? Should I sedate it?"
Zagara trys to block the sounds while sending a psionic message
to the dragon: “If you are going to address me then you will
call me Zagara, not ant, now tell me what is your name?”
-_
-_
Kilysa: “Well Formic vegetation varies. Some are dense forests,
some are plains & flatlands, some are rain forests others are
very mountainous or even wetlands. The spawning shrubs usually
act according to the natural composition of the planet that they
are on & afterwards Formics decide what vegetation they want to
add keep or eliminate. Remelax will become closer to what it
would have been before the fire storms.”
Kilysa laughs alittle when Thiror brings out his flask: “My
sister Niadra will like you Thiror, she has all sorts of potent
saps & strong Nectar’s that she brews, no thank you Thiror I
don’t really drink ferments, & I must leave as soon as I plant
the shrubs, I must get as far into my research on the device as
possible before mother finds out what ive done, oh yea most
spawning shrubs die & become great fertilizer for whatever
vegetation takes over, but for the ones that don’t they will
periodically release nutrients in the air & atmosphere, so you
may want to cut them down or keep them if you like.”
As everyone is talking Kilysa’s drones quickly go to work
planting several spawning shrubs on each continent. Each shrub
is about 5.5 meters in height, the drones pour a nutrient rich
liquid on the shrubs roots to activate them.

Selyna notices Rokarr looking at the Krith "You seem concerned
about the Ghashyr-like Formics Lady Rokarr. I hope our lifestyle
doesn't tire you Formics out..."
A Ghashyr lord sitting close to Rokarr puts down his goblet and
turns to her "Speaking of Formics, your kin has made quite an
impact in the empire ...everyone is talking about you, from
lords to serfs, I wonder what you Formics think of us Ghashyr
...pardon me, I forgot to introduce myself, I'm Ormidor
Galgatyen, Myr of Mydardea, thrilled to meet you."
-~-
-~-
Myrsa turns her head in a moment of total susrprise towards
Zagara "You saw the memories of a Dragon?" then immediately
turns back again facing the dragon in order to retain the stasis
spell "It must have been quite interesting. Tell me what you
saw, the information you gathered are trivial to the survival of
the dragons' legacy ....I did not tell you before, but
dragons, especially royals, were taught from a young age to
retain the personal memories of the greatest dragon-saints! The
experience must have been one of a kind!"
The dragon's voice is still harsh and unpleasant to the ear, it
also continues being loud and the various screams and voices
return, it seems Zagara has not much control over it.. {{{SSWHY?
ASSHAMEDHHH OFSS hhhWHAT YOU ssARE ANT? hsssffssSSNAMESS REH'NI
...KAHM CLOSERHHH ZSSAGHARA'"
-~-

Thiror: "Ah! Oi'd love tae taste som' o' yer drinks ....in tha
futu'e phe'haps!"
Myranda smiles and friendly pats Kilysa: "You trully are the
restorer of Remelax! ...I bet my daughter will soon come to
Remelax to study all these shrubs, heh. Now before you leave,
let us at least drink to your name!"
Myranda, Rosdax, Alyna and Thiror raise their flasks in the air
- filled a few seconds before with Mythrafal - "TO KILYSA!"
they shout and proceed drinking, seconds afterwards they throw a
few drops to the ground and solemnly mutter "for the fallen".
Alina and Rosdax seem a little dizzy from the Mythrafal.

Rokarr to Selyna: “No it’s not that, they are among the first of
their kind, the other krith are more drone like & are developing
at a more regular formic pace. But they are developing much
faster than expected, in fact it seems that they are about a
month ahead of what we expected, they will start to cocoon in
the next few days, or sooner. Which means we will have to
prepare for the new Queens Onikohei rituals, it should be very
interesting in for Rynza.”
Rokarr: “Im Rokarr, pleasure to meet you Ormidor, I must admit I
found Ghashyr quite odd at first with your scales, the only
creatures we’ve encountered with scales have been none
sentient.”
-_
-_
Zagara: “Yes it was interesting, I thought Formic’s were the
only one’s to transfer memories. Most of the dragons memories
are of being in darkness. Some concern nihilistic
existentialistic concepts, some were of fictitious societies &
creatures, others were of being blind, lost, & in pain
underground. But then there were vivid memories of the
destruction of a city, screams, consuming fires, & others were
of various places & scenes I don’t believe the dragon has ever
seen.”
Zagara trys to dampen the voice seeing as how she cannot stop
it.
Zagara to the Dragon: “Reh’ni Kahm, it is not that im ashamed,
it is a matter of respect, calling me an ant is like me calling
you a lizard or frog.”
-_
-_
Kilysa: “Yes Thior im sure you will, it is nothing really im
just a scientist doing what I can. If she has any questions
about the shrubs she is more then welcome to ask, Oh yes drinks
certainly”
After Kilysa watches the Ghashyrs strange drinking ritual she
asks them about it.
“Why do you pour some of it on the ground? Does it serve as
nutrients?”
