the streets as the reptilian shadow crossed between them and
the thousands of flying light orbs illuminating the sprawling city.
The gentle glide ended with the barest of jarring as four clawed
limbs made contact with the ground.
    Checking Isabella remained secured in the
wrap, Renee threw a leg over and dismounted to hurry inside to find
Oliver sitting in the main room at a large table still covered in
tiny pieces a mix of metal, wires and crystal shards the size of
shaving slivers. She immediately turned her bracelet into a
hairbrush and began unknotting the wild crimson mane whipped around
from flying. She found a mirror by the front door and washed it
days ago. She got the curls to be somewhat manageable and began
changing clothes every couple seconds. Isabella floated suspended
midair by her mother.
    Anxiety had Oliver sigh, get
up and lay a hand on her shoulder. “Relax, Red. You’re going to
make me nervous if
you don’t calm down.”
    “ You’re not a woman so you
wouldn’t understand. First impressions are everything to us and you
never grew up being raised by the Empire. We’re going to meet the
most influential person in all of humanity. I don’t want to dress
of Wind and be seen as a slut nor so conservative that I’m an
uptight prude. If you don’t have any advice then leave me the fuck
alone.”
    She noted his reflection’s reaction turn
speculative before seeing what he imagined. “Why not the sexy white
dress you wore for our first date?”
    “ The one from The
Pits?”
    “ Yes. You were radiant and
so beautiful I still dream of our first night together and seeing
you in that dress. White favors your coloring and complexion. So
does green.”
    “ I really miss that dress.
It was classy and gorgeous rolled up in one package. For you, Olly,
I’ll do it, but alter it some. Less plunging cleavage, but backless
and white stiletto high heels.” Nakedness showed for a moment as
the malleable material change colors, softened and thickened so if
her nipples puckered they wouldn’t be seen. She played with her
hair as the great head of Nova came in through the door to bring
the rest inside. The cubs went upstairs with two of the nine
females to be watched over. Nova had to rumble so his daughter,
leader of the new Pride, would follow orders. She was obstinate and
was quite normal. The young leader huffed and Renee hid a giggle,
expecting Oliver to do the exact same when their daughter one day
started challenging his authority. Oliver saw it too and shook his
head and went back to sitting and working at the table.
    Jessica arrived not long after wearing a
borrowed ruby dress that caressed her hourglass figure. A scientist
offered it after she fixed a communication issue for long range
transmissions. Auburn hair hung loosely and Renee was jealous of
the naturally straight hair of the aunt when hers curls. Matching
heels and painted fingernails that were nanite infused to retain
the color for months completed the outfit. She said “Did you hear?
The Emperor and Empress have arrived and are being shuttled and
escorted to the planet as we speak.”
    “ Not the last part. Olly
told me the Gaia arrived and that it cast a huge shadow even from
orbit.”
    “ It is the largest
spacecraft humanity has ever created, being twenty five hundred
kilometers from bow to stern.”
    “ Near as large as one of our
Motherships.” Netul voiced with the power
of the mind as he came up from behind before the door managed to
shut in his face. “The pattern resembles
the Dorgenox, but not.”
    “ It’s a living ship too.
Made of dense wood with giant solar sails that encircle three parts
of the ship all the way around. Papa’s is more accurate considering
the original shape and look of Earth’s sailboats. The imperial ship
doesn’t even have riggings or anchors. It’s so big it can’t even
land. I doubt they’d even try on Mereddia. It’s just too massive.”
Renee said, using the Valek to turn her fingernails a
