"I won't slack. So what are my orders?" David asked Kaleem in a formal tone whilst standing to attention.

[unokitsune]

As soon as Treemara closed the door to the ship behind them, all he could hear now was the sound of Aaro crying. She had held her composure seeing Teesara the way it was, and she almost lost it in front of Keema and all those injured O'Sekra. Her relgion, the Zandri religion, it was true. There really was a ship but she couldn't believe that the two races were made from Star Dust, there had to be something more. It hurt so much that she fell to her knees and held her hands on her ears over her head. "They killed them all...destroyed all but one temple...They angered her she's gone silent..." Treemara could here between mumbles.

Aaro
Treemara sat and listened.

Kaleem laughed a little.
"At ease, you haven't even been accepted yet."

[The SheoDovah]

David stopped standing to attention and said "I know. But it doesn't hurt to make a good impression" to kaleem.

"June 30th 2170, the day this war began, the day I was born. I was born in Jaaxor's Temple of Sseeara Laaveenae, blessed Nymph Mother. My mother was in so much pain. The temple received word that Teesara was gone...taken nearly instantly by O'Sekra battleships that came en Masse. My mother could barely walk but the Temple ordered an evacuation. I'm not sure where she found the strength to do so, it was either leave and live or stay and die. She was slower than my father and my two older brothers. We just got out of the temple...Don't ask me how I remember I was less than a day old. I don't know how I remember..." Aaro was shaking a bit, "The ship...like the one that picked us up on Hyati...but it was slightly larger, angular, breathed fire. The temple and our Divine Singer...destroyed instantly. But that ship was also destroyed as one of our own shot it down...Black Snow...Black eyes..." Tears were down her face. The surving Priestesss and other Temple Staff, including guards, tried to raise the temples again. But it was as if Sseeara Laaveenae was so mad she wouldn't allow it or sing to us. No one could do it. Then over the years the surviving Priestesses and even the Ssiren, protected only by some strong magic and even stronger guards, received word that Traitor Zandri and O'Sekra were killing them off, Priestesss, Temple guards, really it didn't matter if they were part of the temple they were killed. How cowardly, the Priestess's couldn't fight back, I'm the first one that can." Aaro was shaking.

"There was a family that had worked and sung in the Temple of Teesora, built on the very place The Knight was last seen, the place where he left Sseeara Laaveenae all those Ages ago. I remember the little girl, she was 9 had the same hair colour as me, snow white a very rare Zandri hair colour, pure snow white, natural white is more common despite it being more yellow. Her name was Kiim, but she allowed me to call her Kii when I met her, I was 7... Her family wasn't at Teesora at the time of the attack, instead they had been advising the Ssiren on talks of proposed peace. However their ideas were scoffed at due to the temples destruction and the like, as well as the Priestess and Temple Staff Hunt. Kii's family, was alone. So they took their own intitative, determined for peace. They travelled to Jaaxor on their way to Teesora, trying to convince Taari's parents as well as my parents. However neither my parents or Taari's parents listened or agreed on the matter, simply because at that point there could be no peace. The O'Sekra had already began colonizing Teesara. Kii's parents vessel, Simalar in size to the small shuttle that picked us up in Hyati, had passed by a much larger Zandri ship. If not for the temple markings on Kii's ship, the Zandri vessel most likely would of shot them down for being considered Traitors for wanting peace back then." Aaro continued, she was rocking back and fourth violently.

"My family was one of several smart Temple familys in that we effectly disguised ourselves as Scouts turned Settlers, to protect us from the O'Sekra and Traitorous Zandri who murdered so many of us, trying to kill off Zandri Morale, Zzruh was right on that. Kii's family eventually did make it to Teesora where they were allowed to speek with the O'Sekram. But...something didn't go right. A group of Sabotuer scouts, from the larger Zandri ship that ended up followign Kii's family, had seen what happened next. Kii had to watch as her mother and father were killed in front of her. Her father was first, trying to protect his family. He wasn't just shot, one of the O'Sekra cut him up into multiple pieces. Kii's mother tried to save Kii and shoved her outside the room told her to run. Kii's mother was then grabbed, stripped naked, the heat turned up and she was raped with a plasma gun then shot, the blast caused her body to litterly boil then explode. Little Kii tried to run, tried to get away, tried to find somewhere safe. She was followed though, by five O'Sekra. Tareenek, Truzeek, Tamareen, Timineeker, and Tluzeen. They basically did to her what they did to Keema, only she was Nine. They took her to a hot room, it was hot but not so hot that she would pass out right away, rather they had her suffer, two would have her down while three would have their way with her. They had rotated so eventually all five found all three of her...holes.They beat her with O'Sekra lightning sticks. Zzruh wasn't sure what killed her, the heat or the rape. They had walked in on the party of five O'Sekra during one of their Teesara raiding missions."

"Tamareen and Tluzeen got away in the scuffle, abandoning their war brothers. Timineeker was the first one killed, Ice Spike to the Eye. Zzruh toyed with Truzeek, the worst of the five, stripped him naked, castrated him, left him to freeze in the snow. Tareenek radio'd for help, before he was impalled by Niite, one of Zzruh's most loyal warriors, a deadly warrior in his own right. I don't know if the O'Sekra told you about that raid. Zzruh and company pretty much destroyed that compound, killed everyone but the O'Sekram, who was shoved out and taken away. Zzruh and party left before enforcements arive. They had choosen Blizzard season for it, makes O'Sekra slower to act due to hazardouz weather that our ships are built for. Ours can even fly underwater, not sure about yours though."

"I never really liked my priestess training as a young girl...but what they did to Kii...it was horrible! She was the first female Zandri I could consider as a friend and who showed that more than Zzruh did, despite I had interaction with him before. She was older than me by two years...I showed her how to fight a little bit, something I learned by fighting my brothers. Before she was raped and killed she had marked Tamareen and Tluzeen. One had a scar alone his face to the base of his neck, diagonal ish. The other one was missing an ear. I found both of them later...when I was Zzruh's apprentice. Tamareen was leading a group of thirty O'Sekra on a raiding mission 30 miles from the village I grew up in on Jaaxor. They were trying to take another village...Daale's. Daale was a young Temple Guard and Choir Singer, trained by his proud father. He was also of the weathier stock, my mother had been training me to impress him for the rest of my thirteenth year. Daale was a pretty good fighter. he wasn't killed on that day but he was injured. Zzruh allowed me the reins on this one, it was too close to home too personal. I made quick work of that contigent. Tamareen was number thirty, it was my first kiss on the cheek."

"Tluzeen...he was on Heesora. Smaller group of explorers. They had found the body of water that our ancient ship, The Knight's ship, was buried in. The area is guarded, not just by Zandri, and not all Zandri are safe there. Zzruh, some of his war buddies, and myself were dispatched to deal with it so Sseeara Laaveenae wouldn't get angry. Really bad things happen when she gets angry. Zeet, some new guy Zzruh allowed on the group, had fun with it. Killed and disembowled one O'Sekra, used his own intestines to strangle two others, nearly got himself killed in the process. We used the snow to ambush them, Tluzeen was coward...ran. Yours truly disabled his gun and sliced it in half. He tried to hit me, but the ice was slippery. He fell and broke his leg. I didn't get the chance to kill him, a Rogue Ssayanarot grabbed him instead, tore him in half then ate him. We learned that Ssayanarot, when angry, can tear through O'Sekra battle armor just as easily as our ice weapons can. The Ice Bear stared at us before leaving us alone. All but Zzruh and I had been chearing from the sidelines, clapping and hooting. I was angry...he would of been that day's number 20. Zzruh, noticing my frustration, ruffled my hair and told me I needed to be faster. So I trained even harder to become faster." There was a crazed look in her eye as she sat up and allowed her hair to fall past her shoulders. "All because...they want to destroy our religion. Every time the O'Sekra try to build upon that spot on Teesara, where the Knight left us, The Zandri of the outer rims find ways to destroy it. Only the Temple will be allowed to be built there, and it will have to for peace. Likewise that stronghold you had me locked up in, it will need to be moved away from the Temple Grounds. You claim the Knight is Ethreal, if your race cares and worships him so much, your race will move to other locations as the Temples are always built where The Knight Sseeara Laaveenae walked together." There was no arguing that point.

And then, when it was all said in done, Aaro cried "And Keema hates me!"

James stayed holding onto Jessica.

Zefeer
Zefeer watched all the hoomans joining the Alliance with a smile.

[p-sto]

Cyril felt conflicted as he walked away from Kaleem. That easy and my loyalties have apparently switched over to the Alliance. What about the Federation? They've done so much for mankind. It was one thing getting sent off on the Pioneer. I knew would be cut off from the Federation but the Pioneer still represented the Federation. I was supposed to represent the Federation on the Pioneer, make sure that it stayed true to the Federation's ways. What purpose do I have now that it's destroyed and most of it's crew is dead? How do I honour the Federation and the EFEC now?

Walking slowly, Cyril eventually found his way back to Zefeer, who seemed quite pleased. "You care to tell me what I signed up for in joining the Alliance?" He asked the Heelox, trying to get a sense of grounding when everything seemed so unreal at the moment.

[Musicman247]

Zefeer
Zefeer smiled apologetically and responded, "I, I actually don't know that much. Heelox mainly deal with technical things; fixing and repairing stuff. And I just joined recently myself. On my birthday, in fact." She tapped her fingertips together and looked at the floor. "Sorry, but I don't know what you would be asked to do."

[p-sto]

Cyril raised an eyebrow, this wasn't the sort of response he was expecting. "So you weren't born a citizen? Anything in particular motivate you to join?"

[Justice knight]

Aaro
Treemara hugged Aaro.
"She doesn't hate you."
---
Mess Hall.
"Anyone else?" Kaleem asked.

[unokitsune]

Aaro hugged him back with tears in her eyes. "Oh but...I think she will. Just by loving you...I put your life in danger." Aaro looked up at him and moved to hold him close. "I want to see the temples...sacred sites. I must raise Jaaxor's...but unless the O'Sekra generals see the ship for themselves they will not move what they have built on the temple sites..." Aaro said, "And the temple guards the ship, as does our Nymph Mother." Something had happened in Aaro's life that changed her despise of Priestess ship into a calling. It happened when she was brought to Heesora, she would have to write about it. "And you would hate it...my memoirs...I feel I'll loose you."

[Justice knight]

Aaro
"Now why do you think you'll lose me?" Treemara asked.

[unokitsune]

"If I write this...admitting to things I...didn't have the courage to tell you...like when you told me you wouldn't have problems in me finding a male to become pregnant but...I won't be able to do that, and I'm scared. He's killed all who have flirted with me on Zandri side in one way or another. I can't even stand putting you or Keema in danger. I'm not sure about myself, I'm not sure how to tell you. You'll read my life and ...I fear you'll see me as a monster. Ever since meeting you, my world has been turned upside down. Seeing Teesara...the injured O'Sekra...it's like what I found so easy to forget is now coming back to haunt me." Aaro buried her face in Treemara's chest.

[Justice knight]

Aaro
"It's okay," Treemara promised, "We don't have to worry about Zzruh anymore, in fact I'm sure an inquisitorial vessel will be hunting him."

[unokitsune]

"I have no idea what ship that is, but they put themselves in danger. Speaking of ships, do you want to see it...the first ship? We would need the Ssiren's permission though." Aaro half spoke, half asked.

[Justice knight]

Aaro
"If the Inquisition can't find Zzruh and kill him, no one can," Treemara said, "Could I see it?"

[unokitsune]

To the Inquisition, Aaro thought a moment, she was somewhat joking when she said this "I think it would have to be me leading a raiding party and then fighting Zzruh in order to bring him to custody or kill him. He's crafty. As for the ship, we will need permission from the Ssiren of Heesora and then from Sseeara Laaveenae." Aaro spoked this wanting him to believe her.

[Justice knight]

Aaro
"Could you get permission?" Treemara asked.

[unokitsune]

"I saved her life, and we would have to contact her. But it's got to be private. She will understand that you are my forever mate, but you must learn the song to sing to Sseeara Laaveenae, she has to hear you sing it." Aaro spoke "I can teach you the song, I sung it to you when we first met."

[Justice knight]

Aaro
"Okay," Treemara said.

[unokitsune]

"First the Intro you will need. Sung by Priestess's and Choir Men/Temple Guards." Aaro began. She motioned for Treemara to stand while she stood too.

"Eee'yah ooo'yweee Solanuaroo, Stneee Aah Nee'yeea....Sseeara Laaveenae." Unlike him, she had her signature dress of a Priestess She waited for him to repeat what she sung.

[Justice knight]

Aaro
Treemara repeated.

[unokitsune]

"Now...the chant." Aaro began. But she did it in slow parts, instead of the straight song when she sung it to Treemara for the first time back when she was locked up.

"Sslavana Na Zee rah
Sseara na Sim
Laaveenea moothlaey
Aaavena
Eeae su Aqua life zeema.

Aaaah sa la mureen

See monalee
See Avuulae ' tah
See Feeran Ssayanarot

Sseeara Laaveenae
Een tieers now sleeping'"

How she sung it, it was from the heart, as if she desired nothing more than to impress Sseeara Laaveenae. Treemara would have to sing this from the heart.

[Justice knight]

Aaro
Treemara -not knowing how or that he had to sing from the heart, just repeated it.

[unokitsune]

Aaro listened to him then began to correct him. "No, don't just repeat it..." She put both her hands on his heart, "Sing it from the heart, like you love her. Imagine your love for me, but then cast it unto her. Sing to her like you love her, let it come from your heart." She tried to show him, love, serenity.
