Alina: "Some say they're the souls of the deceased that watch
and judge the living!"
Myranda: "...ghosts are just stories to scare children. Souls
unite with the great Light of the Cosmos -Azgor Tal- upon carnal
death, or are lost with the cold wind of darkness if they were
not enlightened."
-
Alina to Myranda: "May I?"
Myranda: *sigh* "Yes, you may..."
Alina happily gets a small device out of her military bag and
orders it to play music *music starts playing*

Myranda: "I'd prefer something more ...appropriate, private."
Alina: "Awww, well whatever..." *Alina changes music*

/>"This one's called Vuscar, it's a traditional Urvan music genr
e
and dance. Whatch my steps; when I go left - you go left, when I
go right - you go right, when I go front - you go back, when I
go back - you go front ...well you get the point. Now, when we
change course you grab my hand and waist and we make a turn!"
Alina gets closer to Tegedar and restarts the music. "Let's go
Tegedar, Paeryn!"
-
Myranda makes a rather subtle smile.
Thiror: "Nay, Lampad's ah system; I'm frae planet Arshynor in
the Lampad system, which 's ah warm, fertile, tropical
farm-world - we grow the most food o' tha Empire ...after Shyr
'course! I got tae the Frontiers as ah me'cenary, but I was made
ah Martael paladin 'n now Doth's me new home."
Alina: "If only there was a way..."
-~-
-~-

Govis had his hand a few inches above the hilt of his firewhip,
while trying to appear calm to ease the tension with the drones.
Upon Zagara's intervention he exhaled, feeling relieved that he
wouldn't have to use force.
-
Rysannox to Kilysa: "Each one is unique in the Light, noble Myr
- I'm sure your species excells at many things we don't."
-
Myrsa: " 'Hello Myrsa'; I haven't been adressed in such a vulgar
way for nine years! That's quite refreshing..."
Myrsa turns to Rokarr: "Welcome Queen Rokarr. I sensed your
presense in Remelax yet unfortunately I had not the opportunity
to converse with you."
Upon hearing Zagara, Myrsa waves her hand and the palatial guard
with the majority of the dignitaries return to their positions -
only six Mourning Guards come close and stand behind her along
with Rysannox, Govis, Selyna and Sarxaxa "Good, then let us
proceed. Walk alongside me if you may, fellow Talmyr Zagara."
Myrsa starts walking towards a large open gate that leads to a
long, covered stonebridge - in the end of it can be seen the
Imperial Gardens; a vast open area surrounded by the high dark
walls of the Mourning Halls palace, all covered in lush flora
from all over the empire and with colourful bird species flying
around.
"As I said before Talmyr Zagara, I consider your revealment to
be full of opportunities for both of our peoples' ....I'd wish
to know your opinion and wishes regarding coming across my
species..."

of choice of most Ghashyr)

Sivtress: “ah I think I know what you speak of, they are bursts
of energy sometimes from planets or from an individual source or
being.”
-_
Thr Krith look at each other & then the Ghashyr as the music
plays.
Tarakith: “thats very interesting.”
Valgorr: “ I think I like this, this is music.”
When the music changes the Krith look at the device a moment.
Rynza: “there seems to be various types of this music, I wonder
how many?”
XerKhon: “It seems to have an effect on the mind, to what extent
does it effect.”
Tegedar: “Vuscarr”
Tegedar became nervous when he realized he would be making
physical contact with Alina.
Tegedar: “oh were going to be close & touching, ah hmmm eh
okay…”
Tegedar’s skeletal structure was very smooth to the touch yet
hard. His frame is dense & powerful, even so he took great care
to be gentle while dancing with Alina. He’s movements were
alittle stiff due to nervousness but he was able to follow her
lead, though he was cheating a bit in using his psionic’s to
track her body movements, at the 2nd turn he accidentally picked
her up off the ground slightly with his telekinetic’s still
holding her hand & waist not even realizing it.
XerKhon & Valgorr let out small snickers, Sivtress: “don’t worry
it will be your turn soon enough.”
-_
Rynza to Thiror: “Arshynor, similar to Rith’Gard, though it is
also a forge world of sorts, me’cenary, wait mercenary, I
thought mercenaries were like pirates, but you don’t seem like
that.”
Rynza looked into Thiror’s eyes, an uneasy tension seemed to be
growing in the area.
Tarakith to Alina: “Don’t lose hope, theres far more
possibilities then you may know.”
-_
-_
-_
Kilysa: “Forgive me Talmyr Myrsa, I did not realize just was
vulgar & disrespectful.”
Rokarr:” Yes I sensed your presence as well, I understand
though, a Empress is the center of her empire thus she is quite
busy, im sure we will have some time to converse.”
As Zagara starting walking next to Myrsa the Soldier drones
follow behind Zagara as Kilysa & Rokarr lead the rest of the
unit several meters behind.
The formics enjoyed the Gardens, it almost reminded them of some
of the Gardens Niadra was growing on Rith’Gard.
Zagara: “I agree Talmyr Myrsa, there are many opportunities
between Formics & Ghashyr, when I look at Ghashyr I see a young
species filled with potential , it would seem you are reptilian
in nature making Ghashyr the first sentient beings of that sort
we have come across, . My hope is that our species can become
allies, friends even. The Formic species is going through some
rapid changes, thus I wish to learn as much as possible from our
allies so we will be prepared for what is to come. What are your
own opinion & wishes in meeting Formic’s?”

Myranda: "Well, some Ghashyr would put it like that, but while
it is true this this is some short of natural phenomenon, as is
Light ...myself and the majority of the Ghashyr consider that
our world was not made in vain, or by chance ...there has to be
a meaning to all of this; and the birth of Light, the reason we
all live, must be something more than just a random event. We
all carry the Light within our souls and it is our duty to keep
it bright."
-
Alina to Rynza: "Lots, thousands ...Shyr is a big planet, and
so is our empire."
Myranda looks at Alina and turns to XerKhon: "Well, music
affects most individuals positively, bonding them and guiding
their feelings, however, not all Ghashyr like the same music -
I'm not that fond of modern music".
Alina: "I like them all!"
-
Alina was confused a little by Tegedar's very solid exterior,
nevertheless she thought of it as amazing to actually having a
first contact with an alien species.
She let out a small cheer as she was lifted by Tegedar, and
despite being surprised she kept her rythm "Heh, You're a quite
fun dance partner Tegedar!"
-
Thiror responded quite straightforwardly, yet calmly, to Rynza:
"I know that look very well, yo' highness - it will follow me a'
mah life fo' sta'ting off as a poor boy that fought nay fo'
honou', but fo' gold to sustain 'is family ...Oy fought fo'
House Ma'tael fo' gold once, yes, yet Oy ne'er was ah criminal;
Oy fought such bloody basta'ds a' mah loife..." Myranda looks
nervously at her lieutenant while he signals him to tone it down
with a subtle move from her hand - Thiror smiles and bows his
head a little "As fo' Arshynor, ya should visit it ...I'm sure
ya would love its massive flora 'n humbleness, yo' grace."
Alina responds to Tarakith while dancing: "I hope so!"
-~-
-~-
-~-
Myrsa to Kilysa: "There is nothing to forgive, dear Queen -
you're not a Ghashyr, therefore our protocols are not known and
don't apply to you ...besides, I admire straightforwardness more
than I do titles." she then turns to Rokarr "Of course, I'm
quite keen to be properly acquainted with all of you."
Myrsa to Zagara: "It is most great that you think likewise, our
two species could profit from an alliance, however we must be
delicate regarding our moves ...as for what we wish from your
species? I'll have to be honest and say; a stabilising factor, a
trade partner and information. Now, fellow Talmyr, the response
to 'what we think' varies, as do opinions of individuals
throughout the Empire, I personally consider your species quite
civilised, even though peculiar. Also, I'm not sure if you're
familiar with species such as mine, but we're not reptiles;
we're Erveryn, we give birth and breastfeed our young."
Myrsa felt rather insulted by Zagara describing Ghashyr as
'young', but she keeps a calm and friendly tone in her voice
"What would you wish to learn in particular about our species?"
Myrsa leads the group towards a small grove with an ancient
statue of a small dragon in the middle and two ghashyr warriors
fighting with each other in its feet. Two small water channels
flow next to the path.

Sivtress: “oh that’s what you were talking about, I was thinking
of the physical manifestation of psionic & other energies. But
yes Formic’s do recognize the existence of a supreme being.”
-_
Rynza: “That’s fascinating.”
XerKhon: "very interesting.”
-_
Alina’s skin reminded Tegedar of Chrymerions but softer & less
dense.
Realizing he had lifted her off the ground Tegedar gentle but
her back on the ground.
Tegedar: “forgive me I didn’t realize….., oh really, being a fun
dancer it good.”
Tarakith: “ I believe Tegedar is the first Formic dancer”
Valgorr: “Tegedar Warlord of the Dance, hahaha.”
-_
Rynza relaxed again listening to Thiror
Rynza: “ Fear not Thiror, no matter what your origins have been,
you have obviously upheld your dignity & honour improving
yourself & your family, I will be sure to visit Arshynor 1 day.”
-_
_-
-_
If Kilysa could smile & blush she would have.
Zagara: “May I ask why the delicacy? , Im certain we can set
trades & information, what are the sort of items you seek. I
imagine Formics are quite strange & peculiar to see for the
first time. Ah forgive my mistake, your appearance reminds me of
a flying reptilian species we came across on another planet long
ago, Erveryn, very interesting ive never heard of that, so far
every species we’ve meet gives birth, im starting to think that
laying eggs maybe rare among sentient races. I wish to learn
about Ghashyr history, technology, genetics, & culture. Also I
would like to collect samples of any creatures similar to
Formic’s that you may have, I believe you call them insects.”
As the group walks up to the small grove with the ancient dragon
statue & two ghashyr warriors. Kilysa & Rokarr converse with the
dignitaries.
Kilysa: “Those flying creatures you worship, are you decedents
of them? I would very much like to analyse one.”

Myranda smiles, feeling slightly embarassed for her misaimed
preaching: "Oh my mistake, nevertheless it is good that you
'have seen the Light' as well"
-
Alina: "Oh, I didn't mind, it was fun and felt nice! And being
fun is what is best in life."
Myranda: "Well, that is a little stretched ...knoweledge too
can lead to near-ecstatic feelings."
-
Alina and Thiror smile upon hearing the teasings of Valgorr.
Alina: "The rest of you should try it as well"
Thiror: "Oy'll have to agree, dance 's tha best way to bond wi'
Ghashyr"
-
Thiror: " 't's noice o' ya tae think as such, ya highness! Many
Ghashyr don't ...if ya e'er visit Arshynor, be sure tae seek
tha hospitality o' House Askranlach; say Thiror sent ya!"
-~-
-~-
-~-
Myrsa: "As I mentioned earlier, the opinions of Ghashyr differ,
so it'd be wise to not provoke the most negative of said
opinions. Regarding our dealings in trade, we'd be more
interested in building up trade routes for general goods and set
tariffs on them ...as for information? A list of the other
species you have encountered and their locations, as well as
your species' location, would be a good start; You know were we
stand, it is only fair that we should know as well.
Understandable, our cultural relations to the extinct reptilians
species of the Dragons might confuse some - There are others
similar to the Ghashyr you say? Quite intriguing."
Myrsa starts making moves with her hands while responding to
Zagara's demands to put some emphasis "Well, our history is a
long one and quite complex - I could summarise it if you so
wish, however I'm not a professional historian. Now about
technology; We'd willingly share with you part of our
knoweledge, as long as you share part of yours with us. Our
culture differs from planet to planet, continent and even
nationality, we're a species of individuals you see. For more on
these subjects, I would estimate that a visit in the palatial
library would be far more fruitful. ...As for biology, we're
anthrax based living organism, like you, that live in
oxygen-based atmospheres, give birth and are composed of
individuals and two sexes."
The empress is slightly confused by Zagara's last request
"Insects? Certainly, I will be glad to help you collect
information on your relative species that inhabit the Empire".
Govis to Kilysa: "No your grace, we are not related biologicaly
to them ...the Dragons were the Saints of the Eternal Fire,
they helped our people understand what was already taught by the
first fire-shamans of our kin, but their fire burnt out during
the 'Ascend of the Light'." Govis, Myrsa and two guards bow
their heads and mutter "Saints forgive us".

Sivtress: “Fun & Knowledge, are these what Ghashyr consider to
be the most important aspecs of life.”
Every Krith except Tarakith & XerKhon step forward to try this
dancing.
Rynza to Thiror: “I will be sure to notify House Askranlach of
Arshynor that you directed me to their location.”
-_
-_
-_
Zagara: "Ah I see. Ill have my daughters Niadra & Taknul set
trade routes & goods up with you. As far as the information you
seek, I can provide that know through memory transfers or by
tapping into a signal of sorts, which ever you prefer.”
“Myself or one of my daughters would not mind speaking with a
historian. Yes we can certainly share part of our knowledge. Ah
I see, I will assign a unit to explore your… how do you say,
library…, if you don’t mind.”
“Interesting, as far as we have seen thus far the biology of
living organism depend on oxygen-based atmospheres & have at
least two sexes, though I suspect their exist beings who live
outside these parameters."
“You seem confused by my last request.”
Kilysa watches carefully as Myrsa, Govis, & the guards bow &
mutter that peculiar phrase from earlier.
Kilysa to Govis: "Ah so they are the servants of your God, may I
ask why you ask them for forgiveness".

Myranda to Sivtress: "Not really, no. What is the most important
aspect in life differs from Ghashyr to Ghashyr. Mine is
knoweledge"
Alina: "...And mine is joy!"
-~-
-~-
-~-
Myrsa: "I will have the trade treaties ready for verification
...shall we have the tariffs that will be harvested by our
respective governments be set to a logical rate, say 15% of
incomes, or worth of merchantise?"
"I ought to suggest Lord Castellan Ymeror Elrinel, his
knoweledge in the field of history is unsurpassed. However, I'd
also like to bestow the honour of 'Official Ambassador' to one
of your noble daughters, or your broader kin, for our relations
to be maintained and expanded - the one tasked with this holy
duty could live in Shyr, in the Mourning Halls, and learn more
about our history, culture and politics."
"Considering the vastness of the universe we live in, this is
most likely fellow Talmyr."
"Do not be offended, but I expected a more acquisitive request
that in turn I would have to refuse ...on the contrary your
request is quite logical and noble -as is every request that has
knoweledge as its main objective- therefore it would be uncouth
and rude for me to refuse it."
-
Govis: "The Scaled Prophets showed us the ways of peace,
forgiveness and divine universalism, yet some of our species
slaughtered them - we ask forgiveness for the ones that
perpetrated these cruel crimes, as all souls are divine."
Rysannox: "Some however venerated them as gods ...these were
difficult times, and the Church of Light could not tolerate such
heretic behaviours."
Listening to the discussion Myrsa interrupts Rysannox: "After
millenia of oppresion, death and fear, us Draconians seek no
revenge; we only seek salvation for the crimes of your Church's
militants and we only ask from you slight signs of remorse
...yet as it seems, the 'Light' doesn't shine for all."
All Ghashyr kneel, and Rysannox, slightly nervous kneels and
adresses her: "I ask humbly for your forgiveness if my comment
offended you Unburnt One"
Myrsa: "Lord Rysannox, please rise. You did not offend me, and I
understand that us Draconians and you Light-believers see things
from a different point of view ...if you ever felt remorseful,
it is from the Dragons that you should ask forgiveness for the
militants' crimes, not me."
Rysannox bows his head in agreement while kneeled and rises.
(Draconians are a minority religion that was severely oppressed
over the years; The situation in the Ghashyr Empire is similar
to a hypothetical scenario were a Jewish family was in charge of
a predominantly Christian nation)

Sivtress: "ah I see, its an individuals choice."
Most of the Krith took turns dancing with the Ghashyr & among
themselves
-_
-_
-_
Zagara: “ 15% Tariff is fine, it seems strange, we just
established an official currency system barely a month ago & now
we are about to trade based on currency systems.”
“Very well, whenever Lord Castellan is ready one of us shall
speak with him.”
“Let me think a moment on a choice for an Official Ambassador,
Typically once a Formic Queen reaches a certain level she is
assigned to rule a planet of her own for her brood to expand &
mature.”
“Oh no im not offended at all, Formics tend to value knowledge
over other pursuits, in fact this last request is the most
important as all the others relate to it. You see, we assimilate
beings similar or related to ourselves & bring them to maturity,
but we also give them as much knowledge as possible about their
planet of origin. Now, revisiting choosing a Ambassador I have a
proposal, any insectoid from Shyr that you provide we will bring
them to maturity with the task of being an Ambassador between
our species, I was thinking that Ghashyr will be more
comfortable with a fellow native being, will this be
acceptable?”
-_
Kilysa to Govis: “I see, that is indeed sad, Im sorry for your
loss.”
Kilysa was going to respond to Rysannox with rather harsh words
but she was stopped by secret message from her mom.
Zagara: “my dear Kilysa ancient Formics committed many crimes
before becoming unified, countless broods bloodlines & drones
went extinct before the Khaitor Dynasty was established, we do
not know the course of history that brought them here but it is
something they must figure out in their own way, besides I
believe these were actions of their ancestors not themselves.”
Rokarr secretly to Kilysa: “Interesting that the Dragon
disciples should not seek retribution, I do not understand, ill
ask Myrsa later on this.”
Kilysa to Rokarr: “I was thinking the same, I still think some
should realize they most likely killed the very servants of the
light they worship.”
(Draconians are a minority religion that was severely oppressed
over the years; The situation in the Ghashyr Empire is similar
to a hypothetical scenario were a Jewish family was in charge of
a predominantly Christian nation)
(Seems like a tricky situation.)

---------------------------------------------------------
Myranda: "Entirely... I believe Formics have this in common,
the higher Formics at least. No?"
Alina is fascinated by the Krith trying to dance a dance of her
species and she gives her best to make them learn "What do you
think of dancing so far Krith? I say, you surely have potential,
in fact; you dance better than my Captain!"
Myranda drinks some Achjaal from her flask and smiles at Alina:
"To each his own, paladin, to each his own!"
-~-
-~-
-~-
Myrsa: "I'm sure you will find it quite useful in your
transactions with my species - Lady Ymbrel, do have the
appropriate documents ready for signing, will you?"
Sarxaxa Ymbrel bows "Unburnt One, your wish is my command, my
Talmyr!"
Myrsa also orders two guardians to bring the Lord Castellan...
Myrsa: "This is a noble cause Talmyr Zagara. As for your
proposal; While I consider it quite fitting, it is of uttermost
important that the Official Ambassador is direct kin to you; a
member of your House ...My cousin Balmox Valxaryen could in turn
become an Official Ambassador of our species in your homeplanet,
if you wish. This is done for purely symbolic reasons, but it is
important for the public."
-
Govis: "I appreciate this greatly Queen Kilysa."
Rysannox remains silent while Selyna Malqamrax barely withholds
her tongue "Pardon me, Lord Asunmal, but I must inform our dear
guests that while you believe that all souls are divine and
eternal, we believe that all souls are born and must earn their
divinity , or be punishment where punishment is due - The
Dragonslaying was a harsh punishment that happened 20'000 years
ago, when the Light High Priesthood of the time deemed the
Dragons equally responsible for the crimes and sins done by
Draconians in their religion's name. Right, or wrong this is the
past and the fate of the souls of that era has long since been
judged."
Govis: "The past lives within us all..."
(It is...)

Sivtress to Myranda: "Yes & no, serving the swarm is the most
important purpose, but most sentient Formics can decide how they
do this through whatever passion they have."
In response to Alina’s question. Tegedar & Sivtress really like
dancing. Valgorr likes dancing alittle, Rynza thinks its ok,
Tarakith & XerKhon don’t seem very interested in dancing.
The Krith sniff the air & some turn towards Myranda.
Tarakith to Myranda: “That smell, what is that?”
-_
-_
-_
Zagara: “Im certain it will be.”
“Lets see one of my direct bloodline who can rule over Formics
in Shyr & be the Official Ambassador, ah one of my grandchildren
they will be going through their final cocoon soon, I believe
Rynza would be best for carrying such an honoured rank. Balmox
is very welcome to be an Ambassador on Rith’Essa, ill have
Niadra grow fruits & vegetation from your worlds to help him
feel more comfortable, he could help us structure our new
society to be more efficient in providing needs & wants of more
individual beings.”
-_
Rokarr secretly to Kilysa: "You know dear sister, everywhere you
go you cause some sort of disturbance, hopefully this wont cause
another chain reaction & change this galaxy again."
Kilysa to Rokarr: "I dont mean to, im just curious, but ive been
more careful with my powers at least."
Zagara uses her power to project a sense of calm & peace to ease
the tension in the area.
Zagara: “I admit the various ways of Ghashyr are foreign to
Formics & we do not yet entirely understand them, but we do not
judge any here, Formic history has its own sins, our own
ancestors were even more brutal in their ideals & philosophy. As
Selyna has stated, events of the past have already been judged,
all we can do is learn from those mistakes as well as our own to
bring our respective species to a higher state of being &
understanding.”
