Chapter 8
DALIK MOSCURN
After our encounter in my living quarters I had to get some release. She had turned me on so much with her kiss and the words that she had said. After I left her, I disappeared into my sleeping room. I pulled off all my coverings the way that I had wanted to when I was with her. I locked the door so that she could not enter and entice me but this time I would not be able to stop. I went to my private washroom and ran icy cold water and stepped into the showering water. I waited and waited for my hard rod to soften but it did not. I was used to the cold water as a cold Kalazaron on a cold planet and it this time it did not have the desired effect. I could not go to sleep like this. I would find myself crawling on top of her in the middle of the night. I wrapped my hand around my rod and moved up and down. I closed my eyes briefly and thought about Jade, but then I felt a projection initiating! I opened my eyes abruptly. I could not do that again. I kept my eyes open to keep it from happening. I placed my hand against the wall and soon, I discharged and felt release.
Later I was pacing my room. How had my path changed so quickly? When the sun rose that day I was on a victory high from finally achieving my life purpose. I was the winner of the Stannis Trial, the rightful Consulate. It was what my father and his father had done before him. I was ready to take on this position in full force. I was the one that had proven myself worthy of such responsibilities. I had it all. Then in the blink of an eye it had changed with this victory gift from Master Bresh. I had to get rid of her, but how? If I transferred ownership of her to another then Master Bresh would think of it as an insult. No one refused a gift from the Master, it just was not done and it would be a bad start to my position. If I got rid of her and sent her anywhere else, Commander Nankor Yun would find out and figure out a way to claim ownership of her. He would either do it by force, or he would do it by purchasing her out right. I was stuck. She was stuck. She could not leave my ownership yet I could not have her with me for long. Jade was a distraction from my life long path. If only there was a way she could go back to Earth. I stopped pacing the room and went over to the holographic wall.
“System show me Earth,” I said out loud. The holographic images began to appear on the screen. First there was a star course from Kaethon to Earth to chart for a flight path. It was not that difficult. In fact it was almost a straight shot with out much manual flying involved. After the star path was shown I swiped the screen and saw images of the planet itself. A blue planet like Kaethon only it was blue because of its oceans. In fact there was very little land mass. It was almost opposite of Kaethon. Our planet was blue because of the blue dirt under our feet and we had small oceans of water.
As I continued learning of Jade’s planet called Earth I looked at its humans. I searched for her position on her planet and found that it needed great intelligence, the scientist. I was impressed by her even more the more I learned of Earth.
An hour later I was done going through the limited information that we had. I stood up and wanted to go to her. It took great restrain and still I lost to it. I put my hand on the lock of my door and the door slid open. I crept slowly into the main rooms of the basic and saw her sleeping. Her unusual human body was beautiful to me. I watched her sleep for only a while before I moved back into my quarters. I was the Consulate. I could do what I wanted. But I was going to choose not too. That is what made me a greater Kalazaron than the likes of Commander Nankor Yun, was the control and discipline I harbored. That is what made a great leader. I was determined to be a great leader and I was not going to allow this interaction with the human female to keep me from that. Perhaps I could find a way to send her back to Earth and make it look like she escaped me. There were options, but for now I was going to do my duties. I finally fell into a sleep, a restless sleep.
The next morning I had to cover her up very well to venture out into the city because I was not going to take any chances of losing her. She was too valuable now as a gift from the Master. In truth I had to venture to the Icannis fields on my rounds for the day. It was part of my responsibility as Consulate and I had received a request to visit due to a problem.
Once we were in the fields I expected Jade to act in awe and wonderment but I did not expect that she would offer assistance in the Icannis fields. It shocked me that she was able to gage something about this new planet after being here for a short time. Her observations were very intelligent and the keeper of the field was receptive to her knowledge. It was more than I thought a female was capable of.
I was very impressed with her. She turned me on. She was on her first outing in the city and she was practically doing my Consulate duties for me. Damn. I wanted her. I wanted her now more than ever. How could I make this work? I had never wanted to take on a wife, especially not a human one, which had never been done before. But in this moment as she showed me that she could be an asset to the systems of the Kalazaron, I wanted her to be mine in name, body, and soul.
No, I had to remember what I had thought the night before, that I should try to be rid of her. Now, however I was torn. My mind moved from one view to another wanting to keep her and wanting to be rid of her, and it was already tearing me apart.
After the fields I took Jade back to my quarters. This was more than enough time to spend with her and I had more duties to attend to. I could not have her distracting me with her warm body at my side.
“I thank you for today. Seeing the market and the bustling city was wonderful. I was able to use my mind with the problem in the Icannis fields and that made me feel useful. Thank you Dalik,” she said as she stood in the doorway.
I simply nodded my head to her in acknowledgement of her appreciation. She walked in with a smile and I closed the door behind her with my handprint. Right on schedule the appointed guard appeared and I said, “Same as before. No one gets in. No one leaves. Is that clear?”
He saluted me with the palm to his chest in acknowledgement of the orders and I left to do my rounds and sit in my place of work. This was my work space in the same building as Master Bresh, only it was a few floors lower than his working spaces. I moved in and sat at a holographic screen swiping through the various system failures of the city that needed attention and new plans. I dove deep into my work. It was good. It was good to occupy my mind so that I did not think of Jade. I was making good progress. Then my communication line opened.
“Consulate Moscurn?”
“Yes, this is the Consulate,” I replied.
“The Master has requested to see you in his working space.”
“Yes, right away.”
I closed my current project and made my way to the Master’s working spaces. I assumed he had some new systems and structures for me to attend to. Instead when I arrived he had news that made me so angry that I had to restrain myself from striking the Master himself. It was unjustified and a major flaw in the brute ways of the Kalazaron warriors.
I left the Master’s office and made my way to the warrior training stations. I moved fast into the battalion war games. In a circle pit were two warriors practicing hand to hand combat with each other.
“I challenge anyone that will take me!” I roared.
“Consulate..”
“It’s the Consulate Moscurn,” various voices said.
“Who will take me?” I roared again.
Finally a good warrior stepped forward. I shook his hand and then we began to fight. I allowed him to beat me some then I would hit back. I needed to release some of this heat in my heart before I could return home. I fought two fights in all and it seemed to create great camaraderie among the warriors that someone as high as the Consulate was training with them.
Hours later I made my way back to my quarters feeling calmer but not less angry.
I could not stand to tell Jade the news after my meeting with Master Bresh. I knew that she would be heart broken and terrified. I was angry and ready to kill Commander Yun for even thinking to challenge me. He would pay for it, and he would pay for it dearly. Now was my chance to get rid of him. I would defeat him and use his own stupidity to have him banished. It was his own doing, all because he was barbaric. He was not an honorable warrior like the Kalazaron had prided themselves to be. He was something else that did not belong here. He did not belong on this planet. But she needed to know. I did not want to keep it from her. I did not want to keep it from Jade that it was not her crewmate that was in danger, but it was she that could be forced to be under the commander. But when I told Jade, I was not expecting her reaction. I would never let him have her ever. I had grown too attached to her. I wanted to scoop her in my arms and tell her it would be safe and good with me. She was mine, not just my human slave either. There was more going on here and we both knew it, but I did not think that she would be the first to admit it.
