Chapter 18

Reaching out, Elizabeth concentrated on nothing but Ray. At first, she felt nothing, but soon she could barely feel his energy. What she felt wasn’t that good either. Yes, I feel him, but what I can feel is horribly weak. We have to go. Nali, you are more used to this. You will have to help me. I am sure that both of us together should be able to get there faster.

Yes, I think so too. We need to go to my world first. That way, we will be closer, and you can find Ray faster, Nali told her.

Alright, let’s go! With that, they both concentrated and were on Nali’s world in a matter of seconds. Looking around, Elizabeth was surprised that they had transversed space that fast. Uh, Nali? Did we just do that faster?

Yes, Elizabeth. Each time you use the power, the stronger it gets. You can transverse much, much better now. Can you feel Ray better? Nali asked Elizabeth.

Reaching out, Elizabeth began to look for Ray the way that he’d shown her. Within a few moments, she happily found him, though again she felt that he was a lot weaker than he should be. I have him, Nali. He feels so weak, but at least he is somewhat closer. Opening her eyes, she stared in disbelief at Nali. Not only was she more or less looking like a BLEM, but Elizabeth could actually see human features on Nali. You look so much more like a human, Nali. Are you okay? Elizabeth asked.

Nali smiled a bit, then looked toward Elizabeth. Yes, I am. I have been in contact with you and Ray for so long that I am finally starting to convert to what I want to be. It won’t take much longer now, then I’ll have a real surprise for the both of you! Elizabeth could only nod.

I am so unsure of how to do this or if I can. I am scared to death, Nali. Elizabeth said.

I will not leave you. I cannot. We both will be there. I will help to guide you, okay? Nali told her. Elizabeth nodded and started to reach out to Ray again. This time, when she felt him, she looked back at Nali, who also reached out to Ray. Then they both pulled themselves to him. A moment later, they both were hurtling toward the Chorton planet at incredible speed. It seemed they had only been at it for an hour when they started to slow, then descend upon the world. As both of them appeared inside Miahally’s domicile, the being was startled. Crap! The Treg Trag’s people appeared and disappeared like smoke!

Bowing low, Miahally looked at both of the beings that had appeared. He could almost swear that one of them was the energy balls that were on the planet where all this had started. The strange thing was the being looked more like the Treg Trag’s people than the energy balls. Strange indeed.

Elizabeth almost screamed and drew back when she saw the large spider-like creature that was here in the building with Ray. My god! What in the hell was Ray dealing with here? Restraining herself, Elizabeth bowed to the being as did Nali. We wish to thank you for watching over our mate, Nali told Miahally. Without him, we fear that neither of us would survive long, though it appears that he also has need of us.

It would appear so. I am Miahally. The Treg Trag honored me by allowing me to aid him in his quest to end the cycle of hatred and greed on our planet. You, as his mates, also honor me with the respect you have paid me within my home. I will do all that I can to aid all of you, but first, we have to revive him, Miahally advised both Nali and Elizabeth.

Both of the females nodded as they moved to Ray’s side. As they did, they both felt Ray’s life signs jump and become stronger. With a groan, Ray opened his eyes.

Nali? Elizabeth? You’re both here? I thought I was a goner for sure. We have to act fast. I can feel the strain beginning. We only have a few hours at the most. Miahally, will they be safe if they both stay here? Ray asked Miahally, still not moving from the prone position on the floor, waiting for his energy to increase more.

They should be, though if they have any of the abilities that you have, they may have to use them, Miahally advised.

No, they don’t. Though, if I remember right, they can tell the difference in life energies now. They are still learning, but they will be able to do more soon, Ray told Miahally.

Looking at both of them, Miahally told them, If you feel strong warrior energy or bad energy, try to hide if it comes to the door. Possibly in the atmosphere, but not for long, as they might find you if you are there too long, Miahally told them, though he was a little fearful that they might get caught.
