Soarer’s Peak: 16:00 tines

Tarin sat in his easy chair. Earlier in this cycle, it seemed as if a heavy weight had been lifted from his shoulders. In his heart he knew he had finally said goodbye to Nezier. This phase he removed the second slightly seedy, comfortable chair from the sitting room and gave away Nezier’s things to which he now realized he held on to for too long. Keeping Nezier’s things hadn’t lessened his grief, only prolonged it.

He didn’t know what to make of the sudden invitation to TeZaron and TeBron’s home for the moontine meal. TeBron said their fem wanted to thank him for the bebe monitor. It amplified the bebe’s psy so that the Zinna could hear its distress from anywhere on the planet.

The mother would carry the amulet that connected her psy to a capsule the size of a tiny seed of grain. The capsule would be inserted in the back of the baby’s neck at birth by a pneumatic injector. It would be removed when the offspring or femspring’s psy was developed enough that they could call out for help, if necessary.

I can’t refuse an invitation from TeBron. We’re working on the Sky Shield together. Add to that fact TeBron is an Elder, I simply have to go.

I’ve hidden myself away long enough. I don’t want to lose my friendship with Bron and my access to the facilities at the lab. I could never afford such quality equipment on my own and TeBron is famous for his engineering skills. Goddess, I know I’m going to feel out of place with all the Triads. It will only remind me of what I no longer have.

A voice spoke inside his mind. ::This phase you have put away your past and now know that there is hope for a future. You will bond again. The Council Elders have called you before them. There will be someone for you. To prepare for your future; you must put away your past in your mind as well as in your home. Be patient, all will come in time. Go to the moontine meal.::

Was that the Goddess who spoke to me? Could I be that blessed? Maybe TeBron invited me to brief me as to why I am being called to council next rising. I suppose I’d better get moving; wash and dress. It wouldn’t do to be late and ruin one of TaSyn’s famous dinners. From what I’ve tried from the fabricator, she is an excellent cook and prepares most of the meals herself rather than using the Castle Air chefs. A home-cooked meal with fresh ingredients; that is something to look forward to. I never cooked, that was Nezier’s area of expertise.

It wasn’t Nezier that appeared in his mind. He had a brief flash of a Warrior with silver hair and laughing green eyes. His hair was the color of a silver fox, one of the mammals Tarin discovered when he looked in the Earthen media files for small mammals to find out about the cats. There was an abundance of wildlife on Earth. He thought back to what compelled him to research the cats and what drew him to the fox. It made him wonder what the voice in his head was trying to tell him. It gave him hope. His attraction to the man he saw in his mind’s eye was intense.
