Chapter Ten

Reven

Reven was experienced with the Terran holiday of Christmas. He enjoyed the winter holidays. The recreation committee on the lunar base decorated the common areas with strings of lights, greenery, and glittering baubles.

He particularly enjoyed the tradition of exchanging gifts. Last year was his first attempt at spoiling Michael and Shauna’s daughter, Mara. The young female had several demands of her Uncle Reven, which pleased him inordinately.

He wanted to make a gift for Elizabeth. With her, he felt free to be himself. He was not Reven Perra, son of Rahm Perra, a Mahdfel warrior tied to his clan, subject to his Warlord. He was more—and yet just Reven. She gave that freedom to him. He felt ashamed at his evasive behavior, answering her questions with technically correct information, using words she would not understand like “planetary defense array.” She only wanted to know him and the world that forged him. He wanted to share that part of himself with her. Need to share it with her. To show her.

When they returned to the property, Elizabeth declared herself tired and went to rest for the night.

“Are you coming?” she asked.

“I need to run a few system scans.”

“Don’t stay up all night.”

“I will obtain the minimum amount of sleep needed for optimal performance,” he replied. She gave that weary-sounding sigh which meant she was secretly amused. “I will be in shortly,” he added.

She nodded at his words and departed.

It did not take him long to cobble together components. Visual projection tech was cheap and everywhere, including his wrist communicator. What he envisioned, however, required more power than his wrist comm could provide.

Once it worked to his satisfaction, he set up the device and went to wake Elizabeth.

She dreaded the obligations of tomorrow.

Tonight, he would give her his gift.
