SERENA

Some of the girls are here! Tessa, Gwen, and Skye! The joy I felt at seeing the faces of people whom I'd known only very briefly before the worm attack is baffling. Although a lot of what has happened to us can be described as exactly that, I suppose. I might even chalk up my escalated delight to having shared an utterly bizarre experience with these girls. Maybe experiencing these events together has forced some kind of bond. Or maybe I’m just giddy to see more human faces.

After a tense first meeting, the other High Spear, Zarriko, seems to warm to at least Rynn and I and invites us to meet with him in his hut for a bit of privacy. Before we all enter though, a shriek pierces the air and every Trixikka in the vicinity goes on high alert, producing spears and blades, ready to protect the girl whose scream still seems to echo through Zarriko’s village.

But when I look, I see no danger. Only Skye hugging one of Rynn’s warriors, her arms holding him tight and her cheek pressed into his bare chest. The Trixikka himself looks as though he doesn’t know what to do in her embrace, his skin-stars racing all over the place, even after she releases him with a squeal and shouts to the others, “they have chocolate! Real chocolate!”

It takes a moment or two, but the other Trixikka gradually come to realize that there is no threat amongst them and they lower their weapons. Instead, they watch as Gwen, Skye, and Tessa nibble a bit of the sweet treat and moan in delight. I bite my lip to keep the grin from forming on my face because the girls are oblivious to the utterly rapt audience they have surrounding them as the seven-foot bird-men encircle the three girls, skin-stars bursting to life all over their bodies as their tails flick behind them. I think the two alien suns could fall clean out of the sky right now and not one of these guys would notice.

“Thank you so much!” Skye beams at the alien she had been embracing just moments ago. He nods eagerly in response as if he understands her before his hand disappears into his hide satchel, searching for more of the chocolate we found on the ship.

“Whoa, hold on now,” I say, stepping forward to halt his rummaging. “We need to save some for the girls back home. It’s not fair to give it all away.”

The Trixikka looks at me and then to Skye and I can almost hear the cogs whirring in his handsome alien head. He’s still stunned by that hug and he wants another.

“Do not make my mate repeat herself,” Rynn growls from behind me, sending a shiver down my spine.

In the end, Rynn’s Protector - one of the big, warrior aliens - relents. Though not without wearing a look on his face not too dissimilar to a kicked puppy.

Finally, we can follow Zarriko as he leads us to his hut to talk.
