Ven was burning out. They’d been at the trip for two days, and he’d only slept for a handful of hours. He felt like he owed the captain so much, and his people were along for this ride. Two Ugna fleet ships. They would really come in handy if there actually was another Concord ship out there, but Ven suspected it wouldn’t be much trouble for Constantine to handle.

So much had transpired in the course of a couple of days, and Ven sat in his suite chair, staring out the viewer as they moved toward Malrun XBH. One of the Ugna vessels was close enough to see with his bare eyes, and he smiled at the sleek form. Perhaps one day he’d captain his own ship. It had been a possibility before he’d been assigned to the Academy for private tutoring, but that dream had shattered when he was sent to Constantine.

Elder Fayle had assured him it was the right move, and he’d obeyed with focused purpose. He could finally see that she’d been correct. Without him being sent to work with Thomas Baldwin, Ven doubted the Ugna would be joining the Concord as a partner.

The entire concept felt odd, unreal but exhilarating. Though the majority of the Ugna were Zilph’i by birth, they didn’t feel like part of the others’ culture. Now they’d find their own way of life, along with the newer members of the Ugna being brought in from the other races around the Concord.

Trying to read the emotions of the Vralon had taken a lot out of him. He was going to be needed in a couple of hours, giving him enough time for a minor dose of En’or. It would have to last him, to sustain him for what was to come.

Instead of using his Talent, he manually opened the drawer, plucking the box from inside. He used his mind to unlatch it, floating one of the many vials out. He pressed the pinprick into his skin and released the liquid. He stopped halfway through the vial and set it down.

Euphoria trickled into his veins, his heart pumping the drug throughout his body. He fell backwards on the bed, floating before hitting the blankets. All was right once again, and Ven saw a vision.

The Concord ship fired at Constantine, and the larger flagship detonated, the explosion rippling from the Star Drive out, until the entire vessel was gone, the crew included.

He blinked his eyes open. It had felt so real, he could almost feel seeing it from the bridge of a third vessel. Was this to come? Some Ugna claimed to see the future when they partook in En’or, but only a select few. Prophets were rarely sent away; instead, they were kept close to the villages, where their visions could be recorded.

No. This was nothing like that. He was only shaken up by the news of Andron. He let the vision dissipate into thin air, and soon he was settling into the bedding like nothing happened.
