“Will you disarm yourself so we can go back to the ship and discuss this so we can figure everything out together?”
Terrek asked, holding out his hand for her bow and quivers.
“Look, I only wanted some “IN & OUT” out-animal style cheeseburger. That damn blue door opened and sucked me into it. It has never taken any of us before.
It was supposed to be one way, only bringing the people Harmony has chosen to my world. That and the food replicator sends us earth food when we request it.” Ember rattled on, seemingly frustrated.
“My family must be worried sick. I want to go home.” Ember insisted.
I was taken when I fell into that koi pond, but I had no family left on Earth, so being here was not terrible for me. Ember seems sad that she is here. I felt sorry for her.
“I promise the next vision I have with Harmony. I will ask her about you. If anyone can send you home, it will be her.”
Ember took her bow and quiver and reluctantly handed them to Terrek.
“Be careful with this; my Uncle Fang made these for me. He hand-carved my bow and each arrow, even using good wood. The enchanted wood the trees give freely. I will be fire-spitting mad if you damage it.”
“Noted; I will take care of your bow,” Terrek promised. He seemed a bit more at ease.
“If you are worthy, I will return it to you.” Flame said, looking skeptical.
“What magic makes your metal fly?” Ember asked as she stepped into our jump pod.
“Magic? No magic. We use engines. What class level is your planet rated?” Flame asked.
“Class level? I am from planet Harmony. The goddess herself created my world. We fly using our wings, and we never go to space.” Ember said simply.
“I never went to space before, and I ended up here going through the god portal myself. We have that in common, but I can teach you. Everything is so fascinating. Maybe you will enjoy your experience traveling in space.” I suggested trying to relate to Ember.
“She needs to be deemed worthy before we offer anything to her freely.” Flame chided me.
“Whatever! Let’s get this over with.” Ember said.
We jumped back into space and reattached to Stealth Davis. We escorted Ember to the chair.
“Is this for real? You want me to allow you to strap me down in that chair?”
“It won’t hurt you; it is just customary.” I insisted.
“Just so you know, I am willingly trying to appease you by sitting in this chair. However, if you try to hurt me, my dragon will protect me. It will destroy this vessel, and I guess that is a quick way to discover if a dragon can survive space.”
Ember sat and let me strap her down. I was feeling a bit worried about her turning into a dragon. Was she for real?
Flame turned on the worthy detector. The image showed a dragon flying in a colorful sky; the dragon dodged a crystal platform floating with the clouds. It looks like a beautiful place. The dragons looked terrific. One blew fire playfully. The machine dinged green, declaring Ember worthy.
“That is a dragon,” I said to Flame, who was wide-eyed and enthralled at the images displayed.
“A worthy dragon; I wish I could become something that cool.” Flame said with respect in her voice.
“Strong women surround me,” Terrek said as I unstrapped Ember from the chair.
“We don’t have time to figure all this out. We have to leave for our designated rendezvous for the invasion.” Flame said, reminding us that we have slaves to save.
“What invasion?” Ember asked, a bit alarmed.
“Laverian was attacked and harvested by these evil guys called the Kanenites. Terrek’s people and the beings from other worlds are held prisoners as enslaved people. We have devised a plan of attack to save these people, animals, and resources and return them home.”
“I will help you fry some evil asses. My world got rid of our evil vampire. I hoped that would be the last of any evil we ever faced. If I can help you fight, that is the least I can do to repay the Goddess Harmony.” Ember offered without hesitation. I like this lady. She will fit right in.
