The walk back to my room or chambers as they are called was uneventful and allowed me to think a bit. I wonder how far underground we are. Why are my guards so overkill? Are they really necessary? It has been more than 2 days I think since my resurrection, yet I only felt slightly hungry before the chemical bath and nothing after it. Was that all it took to fill me up for hours. With travel time from my room, length of the coronation, the briefing, and now back to my chambers, 8 hours I think and not a single hunger pain or feeling of weakness.
I can still feel the energy in the walls, as well as a blazing amount coming from my escort. I think I can just barely make out their shape inside the suit. This sensation is not one I have experienced before. The guard in front of me stops by a door and positions himself besides it. I walk up to it as it opens. The one behind me takes position on the other side. I thank them and they speak in unison.
“Your Majesty.” I walk into the room and it’s not the same as before. Where there was an empty white room before with a single bed there is now a furnished room. The bed was gone and replaced by a collection of seats and couches with end tables. The once blank walls are now covered in pictures of landscapes, tapestries and people I knew. The blank metal floor is now covered in a lush red and black checkered carpet. I walk in and I’m struck with awe as I look up. The entire ceiling is covered in a hologram of what I think is the entire Milky Way galaxy. It is slowly rotating with a black backdrop as if I’m looking up into space itself.
“Told you she would love it.” I reluctantly tear my eyes away from the mesmerizing ceiling, and I see both Celest and Tina standing next to each other just a few feet away. They both bow.
“Welcome back your majesty.”
“The room is amazing. Is this the same place as before or is it a new room?” Both girls looked happy at my words.
“This is the same room your Majesty.” Celest gestured to the room. “This is your sitting room to greet guests and relax. We had not prepared for you before so the room was not furnished before.”
“Would you like a tour your majesty.” Tina had clasped in front of herself with a sparkle of excitement in her eyes. She looked ready to jump up and down.
“Please do. Lead the way.” Both girls lead me to a room with a long table that held 14 chairs. There were antique looking armors on either side of the room. The ceiling had two crystal chandeliers hanging over the table. They called it obviously the Dining room. Next I was led into another room that had a massive stone fireplace on one wall with a few comfy looking chairs in front of it. There were a few pictures on the walls with some book cases filled with books. They called it my private study. They next led me to a room with many book cases filled to the brim. There were multiple shelves on each side of the room with the center aisle leading to a single desk. There was a large portrait of Luna behind the desk.
This was called my library slash office. I asked them why there were so many actually books, for could I not just read the digital copies. They replied that it was for the aesthetics and atmosphere. That told me that they thought I would enjoy the hard copy more than the digital. The room was here to allow me to indulge that. I had to agree it was pleasant and I liked it. Last they took me to my bedroom. I noticed one thing before anything else.
“Ann!” I ran into the room to a large picture on the wall. The picture was a photograph of Annetta Brustad. I raise both shaky arms and gently touch the face of the Ann staring back at me. I close my eyes and lower my head as a tear falls, as I breathe heavy. I lasted 9 hours before I cracked. I guess I was not as calm as I thought I was.
“Your Majesty are you ok?”
“Did we make a mistake?” I sighed and slowly lowered my arms as I look back at Ann.
“No. I was just caught off guard. My death is still fresh in my mind.” I turn to look at them. “Thank you for bringing her back to me even if it is just a picture.” Both girls give me a hug at once.
“Thanks are not required your majesty. It is our duty to help and please you in any way that we can.” I nod.
“Thank you any way.” I look about the room. I like the way it’s laid out. There is a desk with three mirrors on it. There was a stool in front of it. I walked to the other side of the bed while running my hand along it. The bed felt very soft and silky. It looked like five people could lay together in it comfortably. It had bed posts that went all the way up to the ceiling, and thin transparent curtains. There was a mirror on the ceiling above the bed.
On the other side of the bed next to three mirrors is a picture of my old self. I walk up to it and stare. This was me. I am a man. I was a man. I feel an anger rise in me. I look at my reflection in the mirrors. This is not me. This white skin, Hair and dark eyes are not me. This woman peering back at me is infected with the plague that killed humanity. What did they do to me? I scream and punch the mirror as hard as I can.
“WHY!?” A sound of broken glass, and the ping of broken metal rings out in the room. I hardly felt the impact. I slowly retract my hand and I’m surprised. My hand had scales on it up to just above my wrist. I look at the hole I had made in the wall. The wall was a half inch thick of steel. How did I just do that? I look back at my hand just to see the scales fade back into my skin. “What?” A loud boom makes me jump around quickly as both Tina and Celest scream in fright. A mech suit had just burst through the bedroom.
“Clear. No hostiles detected.” The voice of the pilot came out after it did a quick sweep of the room with his gun. “What’s the state of the emergency your majesty? We had detected a breach of your chambers.” I relax out of the aggressive crouch I had gotten into. As I stand straight I notice that my black nails had elongated and looked like claws. I bring them closer to look at. They were not like this before. I watch as the claws transform back into normal finger nails. I really need to talk to that trio who resurrected me. The sooner the better. “Your Majesty?”
“Everything is fine knight. I had only let my anger get the better of me as you can see.” I wave to the hole in the wall. The suits head looked at the mirror.
“Visual logs confirmed. There is no danger. Sorry about the trouble your majesty. I will contact a repair crew right way to fix the walls, mirror and doors. Pardon the trouble your majesty. And may I say you have quite the right hook.” Walls, doors, as in more than one?
“Thank you for your quick response knight. You may return to your duty.” The mech suit salutes then walks away. I sigh as I walk to the door and look out into the hallway. There was a large ass hole in the hallway which leads to the living room. I could see the large doors that led outside of my chambers busted inward. “Damn those things are strong?” I only heard one boom, yet it had burst through 2 doors and a wall. I hear Tina and Celest walk up behind me to peer outside.
“Wow!” Tina had a surprised look on her face. Celest looked calmer.
“I had only seen videos of them in action before your majesty until now.”
“Oh I’m sorry. Are you ok your majesty?” Tina was now looking at me with worry.
“I’m ok I strangely was not afraid.” I look at my right hand and brushed off the remaining mirror dust. “Just place my portrait next to Ann’s and not next to a mirror.”
“Right away your majesty.” Celest walked toward the picture to do just that.
“You were so cool your majesty. The Speed you used to turn around was very fast and those claws.” She squealed and clapped her hands. “They were so cute. You were so amazing not a single bit of fear showed on your face” I raise a single eyebrow and look at Tina.
“Thank you I guess.” Oh right I dropped the scepter when I ran into the room. I look around and see it resting on the bed. Celest or Tina must have picked it up. I reach up to my head and take off the crown. “I’m amazed this stayed on my head.” I hand it to Tina.
“The crown your majesty has built in micro motion dampers and gravity controls so it will stay in place. A telepathy shield was built into just before your coronation. Do you wish me to store the scepter and crown your majesty?” I nod. That explains why I hardly felt I wore it.
“Please do.” Tina bows then heads back into the room and picks up the scepter. She heads into a door that opens up next to the ruined mirror. I walk up to the bed and sit on it. Laying on my back I stare at my reflection on the ceiling. This bed is really soft. I sigh. “What a day.” I feel mentally exhausted. I hear Celest walk up to me.
“Your Majesty do you wish to retire for the night.” I don’t feel tired, yet I feel it won’t take much for me to fall asleep at this moment.
“Yes that would be nice.” I sit back up and look at the broken door. I can see people working on the outside door. “The bedroom is exposed.” Celest waved it off and shook her head.
“Don’t worry about it your Majesty. They should finish before we finish your bath.” That’s fast. Wait the bath?
“Is it the same as before?” I ask her as she helps me stand.
“Yes.” She has a wide grin on her face.
“Wait for me.” Tina runs up to us and takes my other hand. They Both lead me to what I’m assuming is where the bathroom is.
“Are you sure it was good for me? I mean it was intense.” Both girls giggle as they smiled all the way into another room. The room was similar to before with the pool in the center. There are some sinks on one wall and a couple of benches. And there were large Mirrors on all the walls and on the ceiling above the pool. I gulp as I look at the steam coming off the pool. What’s with all the mirrors.
“Of course we are sure your majesty. Every sensor and check of your body after the last submergence shows a distinct increase in energy. It is very good for your body.” Both girls looked at each other and giggled again. This is almost the same routine they did last time. I stopped before the pool as the girls both undress. I swallow as I watch them. Their skin may look slightly synthetic but boy were they anatomically correct. If I still had my man right now he would be at full salute. They start to undress me and notice my growing embarrassment as I try to avoid looking at them. Tina grabs my bare ass as she looks at me.
“We are here to please you in any way your majesty. It is our want and duty. Do you wish for some foreplay before the bath?” I nearly choke when I swallow the growing amount of saliva in my mouth.
“No… It’s ok. I’m ok for now… a… thank you for the offer.” Both girls look slightly disappointed. I close my eyes. “I’m ready for the bath.” They take one of my hands each and lead me into it.
My mind slowly awakes. This feels nice and warm. I feel comfortable and warm. These silky strands on my face smell nice and feel silky smooth. I nuzzle my face further into it. This feels like soft hair. Wait a minute. There is something in my arms and…it feels like someone is hugging me from behind. I open my eyes to see a full head of hair. I move my head back a little, yet it gets stopped by what I think is another head.
“What?” I let go of what I’m hugging as it shuffles. “Tina?” Tina sits up and turns toward me exposing her B cup breasts.
“Good morning your Majesty.” Tina stretches as I stare up at her breasts. The arm over my side and stomach is removed and I lose the warmth at my back. I roll onto my back and see Celest stretching as well as her gravity defying D cup breasts jiggling.
“Good morning your Majesty.” I’m momentarily stunned as I stare up at her. She smiles down at me and brushes some of my hair off my face.
“Why are you sleeping in bed with me?” Tina pets my head as I turn to her. I could see concern in her eyes.
“You were having a nightmare in your sleep your Majesty.” What they are back. Granted the only other time I didn’t have nightmares is when Ann slept with me. “I jumped in bed with you and you calmed down to my touch. So we decided to keep you company tell you woke up.” I closed my eyes as Tina continued to pet my head.
“Thank you. That feels nice.” Tina giggles but didn’t stop stroking my head. Because both Tina and Celest sat up the blankets were down to my waist. I feel my right hand being picked up. I open my eyes to see Celest kissing the back of my hand. “Your skin feels so real and warm.” Celest continues to kiss down my arm as Tina bends down and kisses my forehead.
“Our skin is a synthesis of polymers and nanotechnology to mimic real skin. Do you wish us to stop your Majesty?”
“Umm…” What are they doing? “No...” Tina picks up my left hand and kisses my fingers before resting the back of my hand against her face and my arm between her breasts. Celest has started to kiss my neck. Tine brings her hand over my left breast as Celest kisses me on the lips. The test is sweet and pleasant. “Our bodies run energy through our skin to keep it warm to regulate internal temperatures. We discovered on the first day that if we increase the voltage your body greedily tries to absorb it.”
I’m hit with a sharp sensation of pleasure from my lips and left breast. I moan and breathe in deep as Celest releases my lips. I see a little spark between her lips as she smiles. Tina puts my arm to her side as she laid down beside me. Celest moves lips down to my right breast as Tina kisses me on the lips. I’m greeted with another bout of electric pleasure. Holy fuck I’m being seduced by my maids. I don’t know if I should let them do this to me, yet it feels so good. Tina’s tongue explores my lips as I allow her in. My mouth explodes with pleasure and her sweet taste. My tongue greedily wraps around hers as it goes into her mouth and a little way down her throat. I lose the surprise of how long my tongue is to the pleasure of my mouth and its entire length.
I feel the increased electric pleasure from both of their bodies pressed against my sides. I close my eyes and moan in pleasure to the new sensation as Celest brushes a hand across my stomach to between my legs. I quickly retract my tongue and gasp wide eyed as Celest sticks two fingers inside of me. Tina starts to kiss my face and neck quickly as Celest starts to message my insides. This continued for a while tell I started to cry out my pleasure. Celest removes her fingers and stops making love to my breast to my displeasure. She scoots down the bed and lifts my right leg and lowers her head between my legs. My eyes go wide in surprise. Her tongue enters me and I slam my head against my pillow and moan out loudly as I roll my eyes.
The tale has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.
Tina lifts my head up and gets behind me cupping both my breasts. I turn my head seeking a kiss that she gives me, as my tongue invades her once more for the pleasure it brings. They bring me to pleasurable bliss as I lose my mind to a cascade of pleasure drowning out all thought.
When I come too Celest is glued to my side with her head resting on my shoulder, and a hand slowly making circles on my stomach. I’m still propped up and laying my back against Tina. Both of my hands were in hers. I slowly get my breathing under control.
“Holy hell that felt good.” They both laughed. I looked down at Celest. “Why did you decide to seduce me? I barely know you two.”
“Experience your Majesty. 200 thousand years of experience told me you wanted to enjoy us, yet was afraid to ask.”
“Fair enough. What did you do to me with your very touch? I sort of zoned out when you were talking about it before.” Tina let go of my right hand and lifted my left into view.
“After your first chemical bath we took you out and placed you on a table. We increased the warmth of our skin to message your muscles, and this happened.” She placed her right hand just a centimeter or two away from my left. Electrical sparks shot out of her hand and into mine. It felt like my hand just got a stimulating message.
“That… there were reports of some infected who could absorb a whole city’s worth of electricity.” I start to shake as I jerk my hand away from Tina’s electrical hand. Celest sat up and cupped my head and turned it to look at her.
“Do not worry your Majesty we ran some scans and diagnostics right away. All your cells did was absorb the energy and stored it somewhere. They did not change or mutate. They stayed stable. We monitored you the whole time and there was no change. You are safe your Majesty.”
“Ok.” I take a breath and stop my fear. “Please keep me informed about any changes from what normally should be human.” Celest lets go of my face and pulls me up to a sitting position. Tina crawls out from behind me.
“Of course your Majesty. It did not come up before because we were so rushed. Please forgive us.” Both Celest and Tina bow face first into the blankets from there kneeling position.
“Nothing to forgive. I understand. You two did nothing wrong just please keep me informed.” They both spoke together.
“Thank you your Majesty.” The both get up and helped me off the bed. I could have done it myself but I was in the mood to be pampered. They led me to the bathroom.
“I don’t think I need a chemical bath right now.” Celest nodded.
“You will be having a regular water bath this time your majesty. You don’t have time to be comatose for an hour your majesty.” The girls gave me a nice quick warm bath scrub down. They dried me off then sat me down, on the stool next to the bed, facing the mirrors. Tina started to comb my and braid my hair as Celest went into the closet on the other side of the bed. Tina giggled a little.
“Do you remember your tongue.”
“Hmm…vaguely I was a little preoccupied at the time, but I do remember something odd.”
“Your tongue your Majesty stretched out a foot long and went down my throat. It was very flexible” She giggled a little and started to hum, as she finished combing my hair and started braiding it.
“Oh! Sorry about that. A foot long you say?”
“Don’t worry about it your Majesty. We both don’t need to breath to survive, and I don’t have an automatic gag reflex installed. There was no discomfort on my part and it looked like you did not mind at all.”
“Right.” I stuck my tongue out and observed the reflection. It did indeed stretch out for 12 inches. I played around with it for a little bet eliciting a few laughs from Tina. Tina finished braiding my hair and Celest came back out and placed a couple articles of clothing on the bed. They had me put on panties and bra which made me feel weird wearing them. They had me put on me a black skintight body suit. It covered everything from my toes to the middle of my neck. The suit sealed up with no seams.
They put on arm sleeves that started with a golden ring on my middle finger all the way up to my shoulder. They tied it in place over my back and above my breasts. They were pretty, as they glowed and sparkled like the stars. They put on over my front and back a single piece of white cloth with gold trimmings. It was secured by many red clasps on either side down to my thighs. The cloth went all the way down to my knees front and back. Last they put on knee high boots that had a flowing star field on it like the sleeves.
“Wonderful choice Celest. You look stunning your Majesty.” Looking at myself in the mirror I had to agree. The whole ensemble went well with my skin tone and hair. Tina placed the crown form before on my head. “There all done.”
“Your majesty the first thing on your schedule is the meeting with the alien delegates for the Ascendant Alliance.” Celest hands me the scepter.
“Ascendant alliance?” Celest nods as she escorts me out of the bedroom.
“It is the official name of their society your Majesty.” We walk through the dining room. I say nothing for I don’t feel hungry right now.
“Why Ascendant?” Tina opens the door to the Living room, as Celest answers.
“It is named that way because two of the oldest known races in our galaxy helped found it. Both are attempting to ascend into another plane of reality, they wish to be beings of pure energy.” They must be the two races that Zeus said were scary. “Both are using different methods.” We are in the hallway outside and are now being escorted by two Knights. “One is trying to ascend with the mind as the main focus, the other the body.”
“Thank you for the explanation Celest.”
“Just ask us anything your Majesty and we will answer to the best of our abilities.” After a bit of walking we came into a large room. It was not as large as the council chamber, maybe a third its size and much narrower. The walls had all 60 of the ducal banners lining it. There was another raised throne at the end. I could count 22 mech suits arranged about the room. The two escorting knights stop at the bottom of the steps and arrange themselves to either side. I walk all the way up and take a seat. Celest and Tina take position just slightly behind the throne.
“So how long?” I notice some people walking in from side doors. Most are wearing military uniforms and probably civilian clothes.
“They are being escorted here at this moment your Majesty.” A uniformed man with the same skin tone as my maids walks up the stairs with a box. Celest intercepts him and takes it. She walks back to me and opens it. I look in.
“Contacts?” There were two objects that looked like silver contact lenses.
“Yes your Majesty these were made with your physiology in mind. It will allow us to feed you information.
“Ok sounds convenient.” Tina comes forward and takes them out, and slowly places them in my eyes. I blink a couple of times as they become transparent. Both girls return behind me as the doors open at the end of the room. I can see the aliens filing in.
(Test, test do you see this? - Celest de Forties)
“Yes.”
(Try not to respond to these messages your majesty. You may confuse the delegates. - Tina Fab Traction)
I watch as the aliens file up and stop a couple of feet from the Knights at the bottom of the steps. There are 30 of them before me. I looked about the room and do not spot any Ai that I recognized except Duke Agamon three Data. I found him by the name tag now floating above his head.
(Your majesty your Mother Grand Duke Luna and the other two Grand dukes could not attend as they are too busy. There are 41 of the dukes from the Counsel in attendance. - Celest de Forties)
I nod and sigh. For the next few hours I listened to the delegates complain about their rough treatment and kidnapping. I apologized for the treatment and promised they would be released and returned to where we took them from. Some demanded compensation for their lost time. I refused and had two removed from the room who would not accept a no. They complained that I was not fallowing Alliance regulations and law. I laughed at them and reminded them I was not part of there so called alliance. They tried to argue further until I told them I would not speak further on the subject. This is when a delegate who had remained silent the entire time stepped forward. I did not want to talk to him. Duke Agamon announced him.
“The crown recognizes Atton Cretban Vee Galactic Ascendant Alliance’s appointed overseer of the Sol system.” Atton steps forward but stops as both knights at the bottom look at him.
“Thank you your Majesty for allowing this lowly one to appear before your Beauty.” (Sleaze bag.) “Again I am struck by your brilliance, yet I must inform you that your people are in danger by their actions.” I raise an eyebrow and glare at him. “Your people have yet to be recognized as a sovereign nation. They hid themselves and their capabilities for so long that no one knew they existed as sentient.” Is he going anywhere with this? “Your people have committed an act of war against the Galactic Ascendant Alliance.” I stood up as I repressed some anger. I felt like eating him literally. I feel hungry. I shook my head to clear the thought.
“And how did you come to this conclusion Atton.” I repress another feeling of hunger and anger as I feel the energy pulsating beneath his skin.
“Your people have blocked all inbound and outbound travel and shipping your majesty. They have kidnapped the leading members in the system.” I stare at him as feel saliva build up in my mouth. Am I really thinking of eating him? “If you will allow me your majesty I can show you how to avoid this in private if you will.” I see his vile smile and whatever has been building snaps. I launch myself in the air and land on Atton biting into his neck. I feel his energy rapidly draining into me.
“YOUR MAJESTY.” I hear Celest and Tina’s yell in dismay as the aliens scream in panic. I freeze as I realize what I’ve done. I jump off him quickly in horror. I’m so hungry I can feel my stomach in pain.
“You BITCH.” Atton yells at me as he struggles to get up. The two knights walk forward and point their guns at him. So hungry. I start to shake as Tina and Celest reach me. So hungry. I need to eat something soon or I fear I’m going to go crazy. “Your queen just BIT ME.” Atton is holding his neck as he goes rigid. “Fuck I can’t move.”
“Your majesty are you alright?” Celest picks me up and starts to carry me away.
“So… Hungry.” I repress the desire to chew on the hands of Tina as she tried to wipe the blood off my face. She stops.
“Here. Try this your majesty.” Tina places something against my lips and I grab it and bite down hard. I start to chew and eat it. It’s the metal box from before. I swallow and take another bite. I am really eating metal.
“Your Queen is a MONSTER.” I heir Atton shout from the floor. “She fucking paralyzed me. I can’t move.”
“SILENCE YOU WILL NOT SPEAK ANOTHER WORD.” I heard two clicks from the knights aiming guns at Atton after Agamon Yelled at him. “This Audience is over. You will be returned to your homes.” We leave the room. I stop chewing the box. I had eaten half of it already in my haste.
“Put me down please.” Celest puts me down.
“Are you ok your Majesty.” Tina is looking at me worried and I assume so is Celest. I look at the half eaten metal box. I wipe my mouth with one hand to get more blood off my face. Looking down at my bloody hand I repress an urge to lick the blood.
“No. I don’t think I am.” I take another bite of the box. “I need to see the three that revived me as soon as possible.” A small vehicle with three seats pulls up to us and we get on. 4 knights in their mech suits show up and we take off at a fast rate. In transit Tina cleans the rest of the blood off my face as Celest drives. We soon arrive at a room that had several people rushing about starting up machines. They put me in a chamber and ran some scans. I got out and they fed me some kind of fruit than scanned me again. Next they fed me a crystal that was crunchy before scanning me. The metal I ate before felt like hard gum. My hunger was sated. They fed me a few more things before the trio arrived.
“Worried, Thank you for seeing us your Majesty. Scared, we were rushed here very quickly.” Fori was bobbing her head up and down in fast bows. She was Carrying a small box which her voice came out of.
“Please calm yourself Fori. You are in no danger here.” She nods quickly then stills and closes her eyes.
“Treatment abrasive, quick, reminded of homeworld, requested audience finally given.” Icor looked like he was trying not to roll into a ball. I can feel Fori’s fear and Icors annoyance with a little bit of worry mixed in. The only one who felt Calm was Meta. I look at him as he bows to me.
“Your Majesty. The events that have occurred after your revival were unpredicted and unexpected. Events Occurred and our knowledge has been expanded, yet some things still need to be gone over and confirmed.”
“Yes you are right Meta.” I sigh and look them over. “I apologize for ignoring your contact request but I was busy and was in no mood to talk to you.” Meta bows again as fori still has her eyes closed and breathing slowly. Icor was still fidgeting.
“Understandable, expected and observed.”
“There is nothing to apologize for your Majesty we understand.” I nod as I look at them.
“Events have occurred that require me to consult you three about my body.” I lost control of myself today and attacked a…” I looked at Celest “What was his species?”
“A Nettor your Majesty.”
“Thank you. I lost control of myself and attacked a Nettor. I regained myself after biting him and I think absorbing energy directly out of his body.” Meta raised a hand.
“May I your Majesty?” I stare at him for a nearly a minute waiting for him to elaborate.
“May you what?”
“My I read your mind, see and feel the event from your point of view.” I cock my head and stare at him. “This will allow me to assess you to the best of my abilities.”
“Very well approach.” I wave him forward and take off the crown. He puts his hand on my head and I feel a presence gently squirming around my mind.
“You will need to lower your defenses so I can see your majesty.”
“Sorry about that I’m new to telepathy and untrained.” He nods and I hear Fori clap her tentacles together.
“Calm, imagine a door to the outside in your mind your Majesty.” I close my eyes and do just that. I open the door and the images of what happened just a few hours ago quickly play out in my mind. I’m slightly startled as Meta steps back.
“I’m done your Majesty and I know what happened. Your body was hungry for solid matter. In your anger and hunger you allowed your instincts to take over for just a few seconds.” A few seconds? It felt more like a minute and a half.
“Seconds?” I put the crown back on, as I look at him with a frown.
“Yes your majesty Seconds. It took you 4 seconds to jump on him, bite him, absorb some of his energy then jump off. This is when the inert venom in your saliva paralyzed the Nettor. Your venom is quite robust as Nettor’s have large resistances to toxins and disease.” Wow I have a poisonous bite. “Your venom is inert unless it enters the bloodstream of a biological being. Otherwise it can act as an aphrodisiac when applied to skin.” Holy shit! I don’t know whether to be intrigued or disgusted. “With training you can gain control of your mind and the former event will never occur.”
“So I was starving for solid foods? The chemical bath you noted in the files is not enough to sustain me?”
“Calm we are afraid not your majesty.”
“This one request data, comrades concur, equipment here acceptable, fascinating technology.” I look at Icor then at the doctor or scientist who was leading everyone else in this room.
“Umm…” I don’t know his name. He never gave it just rushed around giving orders and nicely requesting me to do this and that while he prodded me with multiple devices.
“Baron Tragon Net Zeus your majesty. I have been given the honor of all your health needs.” He gives an elaborate deep bow. Why didn’t he introduce himself when I first arrived here?
“Baron please give them access to the data you have collected today and consult with them.” A woman in identical maid clothes as Celest and Tina walks into the room as the trio walked to some consoles with Tragon. She is holding a folded white cloth in her arms. Celest takes it and Tina starts to unclasp the red clasp on my sides. They both quickly take off the blood stained one and replace it with an identical one. Tragon walks back up to me and gives a shorter bow, but with an added flourish with his hands and arms this time.
“Your majesty I will consult with the three aliens and send a report on our conclusions.”
“Thank you Baron. Also let Meta and Fori know that I would gladly take up their offer for training when they have time.”
“Right away your majesty.” Tragon does a quick bow then salutes me before walking back to the trio. What was that? Ok I will just let his strangeness slide because of his Zeus surname. There probably is a relation there somewhere.
“Let’s head back to my room.” I look at Celest.
“Yes your Majesty.” She takes two steps then stops. “Your Mother will meet us in your chambers. She rushed back from the shipyard as soon as she got the word.”
“Why was she at a shipyard? Wasn’t she supervising the activation of the fleet?”
“She was your Majesty. She was just making sure Zeus was not blowing up the Moon with his latest project.”
“What? She said that?”
“Sorry your Majesty she did not say that, but that’s what most think when she’s in Zeus’ section.” A four seater hovercraft of some kind was just outside the lab. We took off this time with an escort of two knights. The craft’s motion felt smooth, as I could hardly feel us move. Some kind of gravity propulsion maybe? The seats were more comfortable than the previous one we used. I’m going to assume the vehicle we used before was the closest one available. As soon as the doors to my chambers opened I was instantly lifted up into a hug.
“I’m so sorry Eve. I should not have taken their research at face value. I should have been more careful. Can you ever forgive me?” I return Luna’s hug as she sat me down on a couch. I didn’t notice that she had carried me into the room. This is what I get for being smaller than everyone here.
“It’s ok mother. Apparently my body craves solid food and won’t accept just energy.” I’m still in Luna’s arms as she places a hand gently caresses my left cheek.
“I rushed here as soon as I could. You sure you are ok.” I give her a smile and nodded.
“Yes. I’m fine. I’m feeling much better after eating something.”
“I heard what that man said to you. Do you want him to disappear?” I laughed and shook my head.
“No I can deal with him.”
“Ok dear.” She stands back up and gives me another hug. “I have to get back to Zeus. I was in the middle of an argument with him. I’m afraid he might do something so I have to head back. You be safe.”
“You too mother.” She gives me one last nod and a squeeze on both shoulders before leaving the room. I look at the girls who were both waiting behind the couch. “I guess I will take one of those chemical baths. They feel good and I don’t think I will mind them anymore.” Both girls smile as they come around the couch. “And let’s have a solid meal after I wake.”
“Yes your Majesty.” They spoke together and one led the way as the other followed.
