Chapter Seven

Halfway through the exploits of the first Terran, Kali asked for a data pad, and she was handed a pencil and paper. With intense focus, she wrote names, times and information that she needed to make sense of.

Aura was the avenger. She was sent in to kill those who committed crimes and disappeared afterward. She was the means by which they ceased to be. Her mate was Randr, a male of a species that the Orb recognized as a randomly occurring race.

Aura had a lot of blood on her hands but not one of those that she dealt death to was an innocent.

When Kali had a pretty good grip on Aura, she shifted to the next Terran that the Orb brought to her mind.

Odin brought her a cup of tea, and she sat for a moment, absorbing the pattern that she had noticed in Aura’s actions. There was a similarity in the killers that she hunted, a darkness that was terribly familiar.

“Do you know what is going on here, Odin?”

“No, Kali. This is between you and the Orb. I confess to curiosity, but I am sure you will fill me in when it is time.”

Kali flushed at the mental image that she was treated to while the words fill me in ran around her mind.

She filled her cup again and triggered the information on Sky and her partner, Tavik, the descendant of Ravikka. They were definitely in position to stop things from happening. They saved dying plant species, animal species, and the last of genetic lines. Theirs was a life between life and death, and they did the best they could.

Sky had the peculiar sigil of a set of scissors rather than the regular dagger carried by most other Nameless.

“Hey, Odin, why didn’t I get a knife?” Kali looked at him over her shoulder.

“You are not to leave Home. You are the centre, the pivot point of the Nameless. You cannot leave this bubble universe.”

She sighed and looked around. “I suppose I have just traded in for a bigger tank then.”

He chuckled. “It is a well-appointed tank, and you are not alone. So, it is very different.”

Kali nodded. “Fair enough. Now, onto the next one.”

Idara was her own woman. She had spent her life being quiet and mousy only to die in a very unpleasant manner. She was paired with the dark Admaryn, Harken. He cared for her, watched over her and caught her when she fell.

Harken was always one step behind Idara’s techniques for stopping the minor bits of disaster that folk ran into every day. Together, they worked to save one life at a time from folks who never needed to die in the first place.

When she watched them, Kali saw the dark energy coiling in the vicinity of the disasters, but she still didn’t know what it meant.

The last Terran, aside from Kali herself, was Orphia. Her partner was a bit of a surprise. Kali had never seen a Hirn before. Xeric was one of that ancient race, and he had been delighted to take Orphia on as partner.
