take part in all recon missions and battles.”
“Fillie, we can’t have you outside during the day, but we
might get away with you flying high at night. Maybe most people will just
confuse you for a bird if they notice you in the dark.” The Commander was doing
his best to be accommodating for Fillie, while still making sure to keep our
presence a secret.
I showed Fillie around and tried to find her a room she
would like. She ended up wanting to spend her first night in my room. I just hoped
she didn’t snore!
We all spent the rest of the evening talking about Sendryl
and what happened over the past week. Everyone was very interested in how
Lancer was doing and the Commander promised to check in first thing in the
morning to get an update.
Xandrie checked in before we went to sleep and let us know
that Lancer made it to the clinic safely and was under guard. He had come to
right before she messaged us. The healers said he was going to be just fine,
but he needed to stay in the clinic for a few days, then they wanted him to
come straight to Earth. Even the healers felt that he would be safer on Earth.
There wasn’t an official update on what happened with all of
the blockades. Xandrie did notice that some of the rippers disappeared before
the troops could get to them, almost like they had been warned. She believed
that someone in their government was helping them. But no one else was willing
to admit they believed her. I had no problem admitting that I believed her.
“Ash, I really think Xandrie might have something with her
idea of traitors in your government. Do you think it’s possible?” I believed it
had to be why we were bombed at the courthouse and then blocked all around as
we tried to get out. Only someone within the government could have orchestrated
something like that.
“B, while it is possible, I don’t believe any of the
Sennafae would do something like that. If the rippers win, then all of us will
either die or be forced off the planet. I seriously doubt that the rippers
would allow any Sennafae to stay, even if they helped them to take over.
“The chances of the terrorist rippers taking over are very
slim; most of the ripper population doesn’t support them. I don’t see how they
could muster enough support from anyone to actually win. So why would high
ranking Sennafae help them? It makes no sense.” Ash ran his hand through his
hair while looking at me.
“Ash, Reuben helped. He was very connected in the Sennafae
government and religion. He was brainwashed to believe the lies told by the terrorists.
If someone like him could believe, why couldn’t anyone else?” I still couldn’t
believe that Reuben had turned his back on his entire family and religion.
Fillie had an idea that was truly heart-stopping. “What if
they are only working together until B’Lana is dead? There is a large group of
Sennafae who are afraid of what she will do. The prophecy has always been
something that divided even the most loyal citizens of Sendryl.”
I looked at Ash and all color drained from his face. The
tendons on his neck stood out and he pulled me to him and hugged me fiercely.
“B’Lana, there has been a great debate about the prophecy, but no one really
knows what it all means. We don’t even have the full prophecy anymore. The
writings were destroyed centuries ago. Now all we have is what was passed down
through the religious oral history. Every time someone writes it down, someone
else comes along and destroys the writing. It might not even be about you. It
could be someone else.”
“It is about B’Lana, I would never have bonded so easily
with her if it wasn’t her. We dragonettes have our own version of the prophecy.
One of us was always intended to bond with the human fae hybrid who was to
usher in the great change. She is to do marvelous works that no one had seen for
over a thousand years. She will bring our people together again. She will
protect the humans, and
