GUNNOX

The twin suns hung low above the horizon, their rays casting a mesmerizing aura over the intricate spires of Huren's majestic palace. I stood atop the central tower, surveying the city below. Since our return several suns-rises ago, the population inside the dome had increased with Valosians and humans alike. The city of Huren had become a central hub for all three clans despite the planetary shield protecting the planet from more invaders.

What was left of Clan Jurigon remained inside having no place else to live since the Gretolics blasted a hole in the center of their mountain home, while Clan Trisess chose to remain close and continue the search for the males and females who had been abducted by the Gretolics.

Many of Valosians were still out there, somewhere lost and in need of rescue. Ruze and Tyrk were joined by a warrior from each clan: Vennox of Huren, Brunnex of Jurigon, and Truxxet of Trisess. They had left soon after we had arrived, on another mission, as promised to Nara, starting with the Jagots who we had learned from the Zibeck I had interrogated on Tirius had bought a large group of Mayrans. Then it was off in search of the Orcs, Bioti, and Natookie who had purchased the remaining Valosians and humans, plus the one female who had been sold to a Nomadican.

I had offered to go, but Sia Jakkar had rejected my request. I was deemed too much of a liability, as my attention would be focused on thoughts of my spirit mate. A fact I could not argue.

From my vantage point high above, I observed the intricate dance of all three clans intermingling below. The sight was a stark contrast to the lifetime of rivalry that had once defined their interactions. Valose had transformed in ways I could scarcely comprehend since my abduction, and like many returned captives, I found myself struggling to catch up with the whirlwind of changes.

Gladness swelled within me to know all three clans had united in battle against a common enemy. I never would have dreamed old rivalries could have been set aside or that such a thing could have ever happened. A vote had taken place and a Sia now ruled over all three clans. Sia Jakkar was not only our world leader but a symbol of unity for Valose.

Clan Trisess had a new Sia as well. After it was discovered Sia Havvar had been collaborating with the Gretolics, Tikkot challenged him and took the crown. From Scout to Sia, he had earned the respect of his clansmen.

So much had changed since that disastrous hunting trip with Drekkor. Our encounter with the strange grey creature had resulted in mindless obedience and boarding an alien spacecraft. After that, I had no recollection until I’d woken up in a giant’s cage alongside a Huren warrior with whom I now called friend.

I scrutinized the undulating distortion of the dome overhead, the marvel of technology kept all the creatures of the Huren jungle at bay.
