Chapter Ten

Somewhere on the Planet Vhiliinyar,

During the Time of the Khleevi Invasion

Aari was about to drink the last of his water when something occurred to him. Water was the conduit for time-sliding on Vhiliinyar. It had been so in the time when

Kubiilikaan was great, and it had been so when Aari fell out of his own time.

Could this little bit of water perhaps take him where he needed to go? It wasn't a lake or a river or even an ocean, and it hadn't, as far as he knew, come from Vhiliinyar. It was the last tiny drink he had to see him through to distant Kubiilikhan, or Grimalkin's return, or recapture by the Khleevi. A small risk by comparison with what he might gain. He was unsure how exactly to use the water, but he thought giving it something of Vhiliinyar might serve to connect it to the time-water partnership the Hosts had installed on his poor homeworld.

He bent low and sloshed the thermos a bit so that the water met the gnarled nub of his horn. Maybe it could serve two purposes. Perhaps he could time-travel with it and drink it as well? How he wished Grimalkin had explained more about how the time apparatus worked. If only he could go back to pre-Khleevi Kubiilikaan and examine the time machine, then he would have the whole ocean to experiment with until he could send himself to his own time, Khornya's time. But, for right now, all he had was his last drops of drinking water. It would have to do.
