Riane sighed once the imp was gone and settled into Lexx’s oncoming dream. She spoke words of encouragement while doing minor manipulation and guidance to his dreamstate. “Rest, Lexx.” The darkness gave way to brilliant golds and green with a gentle sun floating overhead. Lexx stood in a field, running his hands over the tops [...]
Lexx’s world lost all detail, fixating on Chel. Her golden orange hair was floating freely around her shoulders and her blue dress faded into nothingness. “You have love.” He stood before her, reaching out as he so wanted to in real life. Reaching out, because he felt this was all he had and just being [...]
Galaxies away, Lexx’s image, even in his sleep, was being broadcast as clearly as if someone were in the same room. One of those watching was Andisel, the rishan woman who ran the ADC. She sat on a plush couch in one of the ‘common’ rooms on her ship, watching thoughtfully. The room had been [...]
A harmonic beeping sound filled the air and broke through Andisel’s thoughts. Her company was here. “Bring her in.” The nearby doors immediately slid open in response to Andisel’s words and a very thin and tired looking Shira Kane stood on the other side with one of Andisel’s most trusted guards, Korbaen Dasch. She had [...]
Andisel waved Dasch away. The tall rishan male turned abruptly, the scowl on his face deepening with disgust at what he assumed would be occurring. Another rishan, another of his kind, being manipulated by the traitor. He was loyal and did what he was told, but only because he did not have any choices and [...]
“You and I are very much alike, Kane.” Andisel ignored Kane’s reaction and turned to the food cart. She began removing the covers off the platters, letting the smell of the warm food fill the room. “We’re women who know what we want and take it.” Kane’s mouth began to water. She swallowed and tried [...]
“Please, make yourself comfortable and eat.” Andisel invited Kane to sit down on one of the couches. “You’re in my custody now and will not be returning to your cell.” Truthfully, Kane had always been in Andisel’s custody, but that was all part of the plan. Kane regarded Andisel warily. She couldn’t read this rishan [...]
“What do you want?” Kane pressed. Her stomach growled in protest and she attempted to ignore the temptation to do what Andisel was inviting her to do. “Your cooperation, Kane.” Andisel smiled as though she were asking Kane to go on a picnic. “No.” Kane scowled in response. The answer was too vague for her [...]
“I’m listening.” Kane muttered. “Eat first, then we will discuss my proposition.” Andisel waved at the food laden cart. “You should think more clearly after a good meal.” Kane held herself back from charging to the cart and stuffing food into her mouth. She knew better. Her hands shook as she picked up the closest [...]
17 hours had passed since Chel had been abducted. Her dreams were filled with stars. Endless stars and space flashed by. She had stared at it too long before going to sleep. They whirled and sped past her and around her in an almost sickening motion. The stars stabilized after what seemed like an eternity [...]
