    The blue skinned man looked at Teros hand and then ignored Resus careful approach and took it, shaking it. he revealed a broad grin to Teros. „Taul.“ He said and put his hand on his chest. „Taul.“ He repeated, looking at Resus and then the others. He waved his hand around and pointed to the dead bodies of their attackers. „Cadonnai.“ He then said, pointing at them and raising his hand as if to warn someone. „Cardonnai.“ He said again. Then he pointed to the forest.

    „Awa rowat. Tanna beru da Taul.“ He looked at them and seemed to expect a reaction. „Awa rowat dimi?“ He made a gesture with two finger to indicate walking.

    Unknown planet, Camp Aldera

    Blue eyes widened in surprise. It seemed that Resus’s making first contact introductions worked somehow. It allowed Teros to shake hands with the alien, who seemed to call himself Taul.

    This brought hope to Kasper, who brightened a bit at the sight of the two who now interacted.

    When Taul pointed at the defeated multi-armed aliens, he called then Cadonnai. It would be good to remember that. Kasper breathed their names, trying out the sound, pronouncing what he heard as closely as he could to how Taul did.

    Taking one step forward, he re-introduced himself with his hand over his chest, just as the alien had.

    “Kasper”. He said, then gestured at the blue alien. “Taul.”

    Kasper did not understand most of what was being said, but he did recognize the ‘walking fingers’ gesture. Where was K-1? The little droid could probably figure out what they could not. The silver haired youngster nodded and offered a pleasant smile at the invitation.

    “I think he wants us to follow him.” He said, as he turned his gaze towards the others.

    The Camp

    K-1 approached the group finally from the position where he had waited with his breakfast drink. "Again you have survived against the odds, also it was with a bit of cheating. We found a new friend I see?"

    Resus
    The Camp

    „If you say so, Boss.“ He remarked sarcastically at his older brother.

    Of course Teros would put them all into their place. Always the team leader, always to critic. He was right of course, their strategy had been poor and had got them all almost killed. The alien friend - he assumed for now it was a friend - seemed to like Teros even, shaking his hand with a grin. Not even that one he had done any better.

    „Resus.“ He said and pointed to his own chest. Then he turned to Kasper. „Yeah, I think you are right. K.1, please pack some stuff for us, will you?“ He sighed and looked at the droid. „Looks like you guys got this. I will help the droid.“ He said then and lead the way into the ship.

    Should they follow their savior? that was not truly the question. The question was, did they have a choice? If the fight had showed anything, then that they were not making it on their own. They needed support. They needed someone to help them.

    His thoughts drifted to the strange powers the creatures had expressed. Had they used the force? He thought so. Like Jedi, also these things seemed to be only smart beasts. Maybe the book did not reveal itself by the cover this time. Maybe they had been smarter than he thought. Smarter then them they had been. Coordinated attack with a scout and then picking them out one by one.

    Was everyone who came here hunted? Maybe this species despised off-worders and the helper people welcomed them. The two species shared a planet and yet the man had used the bow to kill them without hesitation. They seemed to be enemies. That or the bowman knew a bunch of helpless kids when he saw them.

    Teros
    The Camp

    They did not understand and they did not listen. Like him they were just children. He kept his focus on the new arrival. "Teros." He repeated his name again. Then he pointed at the bow of the man. "Good weapon. Good." He nodded. The man was a hunter so Teros assumed he took pride in his weapon. "Is there your settlement?" He asked and pointed at the forest. With his hand he painted a house into the air. "There?"

    Catherine Belworth (Cat)
    Unknown Planet, Camp Aldera

    Cat stayed silent but simply nodded her head as she walked over towards Kasper. She was trying not to bite Teros head off at the moment, especially with 'guests' in their presence.

    Cat had NOT gone off during an attack. She had heard no alarm. She had just gone up for a view. So getting yelled at for an attack she had no knowledge of, and no warning of ticked her off by no end. But that was a mute issue now. So she walked over to Kasper, and simply stated through clenched teeth. "I'm ok. You ok?"

    Cat turned to watch the interaction between the two and the blue-skinned man. He revealed a broad grin to Teros. "Taul.“ He said and put his hand on his chest. "Taul.“ He repeated, looking at Resus and then the others. He waved his hand around and pointed to the dead bodies of their attackers. "Cadonnai." He then said, pointing at them and raising his hand as if to warn someone. "Cardonnai." He said again. Then he pointed to the forest.

    "Awa rowat. Tanna beru da Taul." He looked at them and seemed to expect a reaction. "Awa rowat dimi?" He made a gesture with two-finger to indicate walking.

    “I think he wants us to follow him,” Kasper said, as he turned his gaze towards the others.

    "Hmm. It sounds like he has someone with him. They were walking. Hunting maybe?" Cat made a slow gesture. "Either way, those Cadonnai might come back with more. We can lock up the ship I guess." Cat crossed her arms across her chest as she thought for a moment. She then turned, walking back into the ship to grab any bag or sheet she could find. Anything that she could carry something in, and began to pack her own pack. She made sure the power stick weapons she had K-1 make her earlier were still tucked away in her clothing. Once she grabbed a few small items she could carry, she looked to see if any equipment that might be useful was on board this ship. A communicator would be nice, but anything that could test, or at least give them a direction could be useful. She kept thinking about the language. It still sounded kinda familiar to her. It was something she could concentrate on, as she packed.

    Resus
    Aboard the ship

    He packed a few rations and water and left the rest to Cat, as he walked past the lounge and waved K-1 over to him. He withdrew to the machine room, where he probably could not be heard.

    „Listen, you will not be able to come along, so you will be left with the ship. I got some last minute instructions for you here. The repulses are still functional, right? Some of them not crashed by the landing? You need to get enough energy out of this thing to move the ship. The enemy knows where it is and we cannot afford to loose it. Move it to these coordinates.“ Resus scribbled them on a piece of paper. „Should be possible with minimum energy. Do not open the ship for anyone but the four of us and start building those blaster weapons you talked about. As many as you can, but at least four. I got the feeling we can need any advantage we get.“

    Resus nodded to the droid and turned to leave the ship, putting his backpack on his shoulders. Outside he waited for Cat and handed her the small plasma cutter he had. „Seriously, I am lousy with this thing. I think you would do a much better job defending us with it.“ He knew he had held on to it for egoistical reasons and Teros had not mentioned it, but truth was his biggest tactical mistake was assuming he could fight these things off. He had been lucky, but truly he was no fighter. He was a thinker.

    Turning to Kasper he gave him a smile. „Don‘t take his harsh words to serious. He is just concerned for us. He is a team captain at the roboball team . . . or was a captain. He cannot escape his own mentality.“ He smiled. „Nevertheless, he is right. Next time we fight together, like we did on the droid ship. We were good at it, actually.“

    Camp Aldera

    From the looks of it, it seemed a decision was reached. Everyone was packing. Guess going with the blue alien was the only safe option, especially after the attack by the four armed creatures and their complete inability to defend themselves.

    Kasper gave a wan smile to Resus, for it was all he could manage.

    Thing is, he was right. Teros meant well, despite his harsh tone and spoke truthfully. Next time, they simply had to coordinate much better. Their very life depended on it.

    Sighing dejectedly, but still feeling somewhat hopeful, Kasper moved closer to Cat and helped pack a bag as well. Whatever looked useful and not to heavy, he placed inside a bag, as he did not know how far they would travel. Their best bet for survival was to move as one and join whatever local community was willing to help them; like the blue man, for instance.

    They could learn from them; their customs, their language, maybe even have a life here. Kasper imagined he could get used to all of it, eventually, as long as they never saw that killer droid again, or Permond.

    Somewhere in the back of his head, he also hoped the blue man did not live near a swamp.

    Camp and the long march . . .

    They all had finally packed their things and the blue skinned bowman waved them to follow him. „Ajunta, ajunta.“ He said and turned, leading the way towards the jungle with quick steps. He marched right towards the jungle and they all walked for two hours before reaching the treeline. The blue skinned man turned around and waited for the four kids several times, looking over the plains to make sure there was nobody following them. Whenever they catchend up he continued his walk.

    Once they entered the jungle it became more humid. Animals were everywhere, not seen, but heard. Screams ran through the jungle. It took them another hour, before they spotted strange creature on the trees around them.

    [​IMG]

    Swinging from one branch to the other, one landed right next to Cat and offered her an orange fruit. The blue skinned man smiled. „Banas.“ He said and nodded, giving his okay to eat it. If Cat tried she would find out it tasted delicious. Then the man took Teros arm and waved the others to follow him. He stepped at a cliff and showed The Valley below.

    „Tusan Tara bodhu.“ He said and presented what was probably his home.

    Teros
    Jungle

    He had enjoyed the hike. The others were angry at him for him putting them into their place. He was well aware of it. They had to grow up or they would all die. If he had to loose sympathy points to achieve this, so be it.

    When the blue skinned man showed him the settlement reaching out of the jungle he smiled. "Beautiful. That is where your people life?" He looked at the others and then nodded.

    Resus
    The Jungle

    For the others it was probably easy to hike all day, but Resus was not a sporty guy and the package with rations and such stuff became heavier every minute. Sweat soaked his shirt wet and he had taken his jacket off and had bound it around his waist.

    The ape-like creatures he saw offering Cat a fruit he found actually pretty cute. The whole jungle seemed more peaceful then the plains suddenly. He felt like they were in the realm of his host and the man obviously was a benevolent spirit. Not only had he saved them, but as they hiked he had taken good care not to loose any of them. Usually it had been Resus he had to worry about.

    When they finally reached the settlement it was not what he had expected. Wooden houses and primitive tools, maybe. This were giant towers made from metal and wood reaching over the forest. It was marvelous.

    „These plates look as if they might have been savaged from a spaceship.“ That was all he could say, as he took out his water bottle and made it empty. Indeed these things needed advanced technique to be build. They were the creation of a technologically advanced species. Their hosts might be able to help them repair their ship anyway.

    To what end he wondered. They had nowhere to go. Probably years away from the Republic they were pretty much lost in space.

    A New Jungle Abode

    They had marched for two whole hours in the jungle. Kasper was tired and sweating and thirsty, but he was also thrilled for the workout. He’d forgotten the joys of rigorous exercise and his mind began to think of ways he could once again continue to train. For one, he definitely needed to work on his endurance.

    For the moment, his early thoughts had evaporated due to their travels.

    Teros was a good leader after everything was said and done. It was he who’d made contact with the alien and brought them to a place of safety. Thoughts of asking what the meaning of the word ‘Ajunta’ also faded to the back of his mind.

    As much as he tried, Kasper could not place any of the animal sounds he heard, it was all so new, and in a way exciting, despite the oppressing humidity. He really wished to tear his sweat-drenched shirt off, but that wouldn’t be appropriate, he reasoned. With a heavy sigh, he refocused his mind and hefted his burdensome bag along.

    Blue eyes watched in wonder as alien creatures hung from tree branches and such. Kasper smacked his lips as he watched one of the exotic creatures offer Cat what looked like a delectable orange fruit. He looked around his immediate area, but did not see evidence of another fruit. Perhaps they could only be found high above, up in the trees. Pity.

    In that case, he would just have to focus on something else.

    “Banas.” Kasper repeated the word after it was spoken aloud, but more to himself than to anyone else. It was his way of attempting to understand through imitation.

    It wasn’t long before they all came to a halt over a cliff and a village stood revealed some distance below.

    “Tusan Tara bodhu.” Kasper repeated, listening intently to the words being spoken and repeating them in turn once again.

    The village looked lived in, but he couldn't see evidence of life, at least not yet. Kasper remained observant as always, taking in what he could and processing that information. He'd also watched Teros speak to the blue alien bowman and decided to approach.

    “Could you ask him if he has some water or something to drink? I’m kinda thirsty….”

    Teros
    The Settlement in the Jungle

    He turned to his brother and nodded. He was probably right. Those covers looked not like promoters had made them. Then Kasper asked for water.

    "Taul, water for my friend?" He made a drinking gesture and pointed to Kasper. The blue skinned alien nodded and took a bottle, well it was more a tube made of animal skin, from his back and opened it, before handing it to Kasper. It was not water, but smelled a lot better and tasted fruity.

    "Thank you" He said and bowed half.

    Taul pointed to Teros plasma cutter.

    "Wuda wondo lightsaba." He said and raised his brows. Teri's looked at Kasper, then Cat and finally Resus.

    "Did he just say Lightsaber?" Teros asked.

    Jungle Village

    Kasper smiled gladly, showing his relief as he said “Thank you”, even as he accepted the animal skin. He almost chugged it, but suddenly remembered this was an alien environment. Upon taking a tentative whiff of the content, he found the aroma to be pleasant, even inviting. The content of the skin was agreeable to his senses, so he proceeded to drink.

    “Wow!” He exclaimed at how refreshing and revitalizing the liquid had been, much to his surprise and delight.

    “Thank you!” he said again, with greater enthusiasm as he handed it back. It would be bad manners to do otherwise.

    He then noticed Taul point to the plasma cutter.

    “Wuda wondo lightsaba.”

    Kasper blinked, both surprised and confused at what he thought he heard. The silver haired boy exchanged glances with Teros, Resus and Cat.

    By their expressions, it seemed they all heard the same thing.

    Teros asked the question they were all thinking.

    “Did he just say Lightsaber?”

    Kasper wasn’t sure what to think. It definitely sounded as if he did. A lightsaber usually meant Jedi, which meant the Republic, which meant…they could be rescued.

    However, as hopeful and exciting as that assumption might be, but given everything that had transpired, Kasper really didn’t want to hope in vain.

    Catherine Belworth (Cat)
    Unknown Planet

    As Cat had finished packing and was stepping out of the ship, Resus stopped her. He then handed her the small plasma cutter he had. "Seriously, I am lousy with this thing. I think you would do a much better job defending us with it." Cat looked at the weapon and then looked back up at Resus, giving him a small grin. "Thanks. I'll do my best," she said with a happy smile. She then reached inside her clothing and gave him the power stick that she had. "Here. I think we all should have something. K-1 made that for me earlier. Hopefully, it might be enough to do something at least." she offered him the weapon.

    Then Resus turned to Kasper. "Don‘t take his harsh words to seriously. He is just concerned about us. He is a team captain at the roboball team . . . or was a captain. He cannot escape his own mentality." He smiled. "Nevertheless, he is right. Next time we fight together, like we did on the droid ship. We were good at it, actually." Kasper gave Resus a simple nod and helped Cat to finish packing. It was no way to tell what they might need. She made sure the packs were balanced so that they could walk a good distance. And then they walked out joining the other.

    And then the real walk began. It didnt seem that far when they flew over the area, but it took 2 hours before they reached the treeline. Cat liked this area. It was hot, and definitely much more sticky and humid. As they walked, Cat continued to listen to the alien speak. She still felt like the words were so familiar. So she kept working on it, keeping a sharp eye out while they walked. Another hour went by, when they ran into some strange creatures in the trees. Cat decided that they looked rather cute. As they swung from branch to branch, one landed next to her and offered her a strange fruit. The blue-skinned man smiled. "Banas." He said and nodded, giving his okay to eat it.

    Cat took a small nibble of the fruit. She then smiled. It was sweet, and tasted wonderful. She looked at the creature in the trees. "Thanks!" she told it, with a small smile. She then turned, and offered Kasper some of the fruit.

    The blue man meanwhile had touched Teros by the arm, and lead him in a direction, instructing them to follow as well. He stepped at a cliff and showed The Valley below.

    "Tusan Tara bodhu." Cat looked up at the strange structure. She noticed how it stood at treetop level. There was probably a very good reason for it. But right now, it looked absolutely wonderful.

    Cat had to agree with Teros statement. It was beautiful. Kasper spoke up then, saying that he was thirsty. Teros turned to the alien. "Taul, water for my friend?" He made a drinking gesture and pointed to Kasper. The blue-skinned alien nodded and took a bottle, well it was more a tube made of animal skin, from his back and opened it, before handing it to Kasper. It was not water, but smelled a lot better and tasted fruity.

    The blue-skinned guy then pointed to Teros plasma cutter.

    "Wuda wondo lightsaba." He said and raised his brows. Teri's looked at Kasper, then Cat and finally Resus. The look on everyone's face was priceless. It was obvious that they were all thinking the same thing.

    "Did he just say Lightsaber?" Teros asked.

    Sure sounded like it.

    "Wow." It was the only thing Cat could think to say. She paused a moment and then added. "I hope that is a good thing," she added.

    The blue skinned man nodded. He pointed at the plasma cutter again. „Lightsaba. Tuza wendu Jedai!“ He said out loud and smiled. He pointed to the sky and then to the four kids. „Yanda VAR!“

    „He wonders if you are Jedi.“ The voice came from behind and a young woman of the same species than their savior smiled at them, her skin a bit lighter than his and she was wearing simple brown robes. „Welcome strangers. I am Yara and I speak your language.“

    Teros Kron
    Above the Village

    He turned to the woman, who was very beautiful for a blue skinned alien he had to admit. "Greetings, I am Teros and this is my brother Resus. This over there is Kasper and Cat. We have crashed on this planet. I am afraid I am no Jedi. We are just kids. This is a plasma cutter, not a lightsaber. They both got energy blades, but that is about it when it comes to similarities." He gave her a smile. They seemed indeed to be friendly, which was almost unexpected in this hostile galaxy they had stumbled into.

    Kasper was mesmerized by the prospect of being rescued by Jedi as his imagination ran away with itself. Taul had pointed to the sky and then to them. He had confused the plasma cutter with a lightsaber, but they could explain that later. The fact that he even knew of one had many ramifications, at least in the silver haired boy’s mind.

    Clearly, they were all thinking along similar lines.

    A voice suddenly spoke and Kasper nearly jumped out of his skin as he was startled by this. He had not expected anyone to be behind them, much less a beautiful blue skinned woman.

    Thankfully, Teros was doing the talking and introductions as he recovered and tried not to look too embarrassed. In the back of his mind, he was also preparing in the event he was playfully teased by the others, more specifically Cat.

    The blue woman’s name was Yara. She was very beautiful and she spoke their language. Maybe things were starting to take a turn for the better.

    Kasper moved up and came to stand next to Teros, as a show of ‘solidarity’. Indeed, they were just kids, and hopefully, kids that would grow into adulthood.

    “Would you happen to know…what a ‘jedi’ is?” Kasper asked a bit hesitantly, yet being careful to use a word that Teros had used in connection to the ‘lightsaber’. Normally, when one word was mentioned, so was the other. At least that’s what he hoped.

    Yara smiled at the question. „Legendary warriors with magical abilities who wield swords made of light. Long ago they visited this planet. The tomb of Master Atara Zozine is a sacred place for us. We go there to pray for guidance.“ She answered and looked at them. „My mother can explain much better. Follow me to her home and please do not be surprised, if our people are quite enthusiastic about your arrival. We have long been foretold of your coming.“ She turned to leave and Taul followed her, speaking in their own tongue.

    „Asha dowa Cardonnai Gaza hawul.“ He explained to her and she looked at him. „Cardonnai ro?“ She asked. He nodded and her face clearly darkened.

    Resus Kron
    The Settlement

    The description of a Jedi was pretty correct. These people had indeed met them obviously. Yet, they would be disappointed they were none. Resus was not certain they were totally not Jedi. He understood his visions as a sign of being what was called a force sensitive and he was coming to terms with that, but that made him not a trained warrior of the Jedi way. He was happy nobody had questioned him so far about the way he knew the attack was coming.

    The Cardonnai were clearly a matter of concern for these people. They were insectoids and that could mean there were a lot of them. He hoped they would not follow them here. The last thing he wanted was giving these people trouble. If so they had chosen it themselves, though. Taul had got them here. Taul had saved them. Both was very appreciated, but if this brought the settlement in danger Resus wondered if the hunter had acted so wisely. He walked up to his brother and stayed at his side. Not saying a word he tried to Oberseite and learn as much about these people as possible.

    Cat had watched as the one they knew as Taul had pointed up to the sky proclaiming "Lightsaba. Tuza wendu Jedai!" He then pointed to them and stated, "Yanda VAR!“ Before Cat could offer any comment a female voice behind the group responded as Cat quickly turned around.

    "He wonders if you are Jedi.“ a blue female, her skin a bit lighter than his and she was wearing simple brown robes. "Welcome strangers. I am Yara and I speak your language." Geeze, the people were quick!

    Cat smiled as she gave the woman a nod. Teros quickly went thru introductions of everyone in the group. He then told them that they were not Jedi. Just happened to have an energy blade or two, but that was it. But the group seemed so nice and friendly so far. But then again, so did this planet when they first landed on it. Cat looked over at Kasper, but didn't say anything as she was busy listening to what was being said. Yara spoke basic very well. Kasper then asked her if they knew what a Jedi was, and the response floored her.

    "Legendary warriors with magical abilities who wield swords made of light. Long ago they visited this planet. The tomb of Master Atara Zozine is a sacred place for us. We go there to pray for guidance.“ She answered and looked at them. "My mother can explain much better. Follow me to her home and please do not be surprised, if our people are quite enthusiastic about your arrival. We have long been foretold of your coming.“ She turned to leave and Taul followed her, speaking in their own tongue.

    "Asha dowa Cardonnai Gaza hawul.“ He explained to her and she looked at him. "Cardonnai ro?“ She asked. He nodded and her face clearly darkened.

    Their arrival was foretold? Heck they didnt even know that they were heading here 24 hours ago. But then the legends of Jedi's were filled with that. But they weren't Jedi. Also, if their arrival was fortold, that usually meant some type of story to follow. She hoped that they were not mistaking them for someone else. She also didnt like the look the woman gave when the Cardonnai were mentioned. She could imagine why.

    As the began to follow the blue people into their home, she walked closer to Kasper. She smiled. "Our coming was foretold? Well. Guess that's better than being hunted." she told him softly, but giving him another grin, hoping to make him feel better.

    Jungle Village

    There were several things Yara mentioned that were now stuck in Kasper’s mind.

    “Legendary warriors with magical abilities who wield swords made of light.”

    Well, that definitely sounded like Jedi to him.


    “Long ago they visited this planet.”


    How long exactly would ‘long ago’ be? He certainly needed to know.


    “The tomb of Master Atara Zozine is a sacred place for us.”

    He had no idea who that was, but maybe she was someone important.

    Then there was some stuff about her mother, who was probably just as pretty, and stuff about enthusiastic people. But the part that put his min din a loop was:

    “We have long been foretold of your coming.”

    Foretold?? Wait…..what do you mean foretold??

    Kasper’s blue eyes blinked as he stared into space, his mind trying to realistically grasp what he’d just heard, because that couldn’t be right. His Mum was dead and his world was gone. A killer droid had tried to kill them. Seriously? After all that they'd been through? Foretold? by WHO!!?

    The silver haired boy was so lost in his thoughts that he hadn’t even heard Cat walk up next to him.

    "Our coming was foretold? Well. Guess that's better than being hunted." She said casually with a grin.

    “Huh?” Kasper replied at first, “Uh, yeah….much better.” He instantly agreed after playing back her words in his mind, his smile growing gradually as he gazed at her. It was good to see Cat in a good mood and the feeling was welcomed.

    “I hope Yara’s mom is ready for a ton of questions.” Kasper stated, returning the grin, then adding a wink to indicate a bit of playful mischief.

    Above the Settlement

    Cat gave Kasper a wink of her own, as they began to follow their 'new' friends, Yara and Taul to their settlement. Yara spoke their language very well. Cat wondered if the Jedi who had come before taught them. But Cat also wondered if their mutual enemy the Cardonnai would bring these people trouble. Than again, if the others in the village were armed as Taul, shouldn't be much of a problem. Unless they came in sheer numbers. That thought made Cat shiver.

    Cat was constantly scanning the area, as they made their way to the village. Cat was curious about this supposedly 'foretold' visit. Could they be mistaking them for someone else? She would really hate to get these beings hopes up, only to have them shattered. With so much going on within the last few ... what? Days? Hours? So much had happened. And so had not had time to decompress from any of it. But, with these guys around, it had helped. Or else she probably would have melted down a long time ago. But this was like a mini family now. So she had to keep it together if they were all going to survive this.

    Cat watched the interactions between Taul and Yara, staying silent for now.

    The Settlement

    They soon entered the settlement, which consisted of the three large towers, who were all connected with two primitive elevators each, who seemed to rely on a system of weights and counter weights. Between the towards was a large swamp, connected by a labyrinth of footbridges and in between where small huts. Far away they could see something that looked like an iron forge. Hundreds of the blue skinned aliens were present and stared at the newcomers. They were not totally identical, but some showed more and some showed less human features.

    There was little technology like the energy bow Taul was wearing. A couple of forged weapons were on some males backs. When they made it to the second bridge two children jumped at Taul and he laughed at them, speaking in his own tongue. They were clearly his.

    Taul smiled and nodded to the group, as Yara lead them the rest of the way to the tower.

    As they approached the elevator one of these people stood there, not wearing a shirt and smiling at Yara.

    [​IMG]

    „Wansa watta tashi?“ He asked. Yara seemed visibly uncomfortable with him.

    „Taul.“ She just answered and gestured everyone to get into the elevator. Gnarling and slowly it ascended into the tower. As they reached the top a young woman opened the door. Yara nodded to her and she eyed the group with large eyes. Her gaze hang on Teron a little longer than at the rest of them.

    [​IMG]

    „Welcome.“ She finally said. She quickly stepped aside and revealed a large room made mostly of wood. light flooded it and you could oversee the jungle for miles. A single old woman in simple garments turned to them and eyed the four newcomers.

    „You are the offworlders? I have to say I expected you to be older. The journey here must have come with unspeakable obstacles. May we offer you some juice?“ She gestured and the young woman gave each of them a cup. „You must have questions and so do we.“

    The Settlement

    He followed the two chatting blue skinned aliens and the settlement came soon into sight. There were a lot of those creatures, but not all looked at human as the two they had met. Cross-breeds. He realized these people were hybrids of two species. The towers seemed not to be all of the settlement. He smiled at people and nodded and then they reached the tower and he realized they looked different, but if they had guys working without a shirt they were not so different from them. He knew those kinds guys. They seemed to exist everywhere. Maybe he had been straight on his path to become one of them, actually.

    The elevator was primitive and low tech. He began to suspect these people would not have spaceports for a ship. What they had though were quite beautiful women. Another one greeted them upstairs, even younger than Yara and obviously this was their elders place. He smiled at her and gave her a ciónfident: „Thanks.“

    Then the old women greeted them and she offered them to ask questions and had some of her own. This was when the smart people had to talk and Teros decided to be silent and observe for now.
