Day 10
Emily and Mia found Ryder in the cockpit for Emily’s first lesson.
“Hey,” Ryder started, “So for your first lesson” he said awkwardly “I will just tell you what I know of my sisters training and go from there.”
“Ok” said Emily shyly
“So, from what I can work out your gift isn’t about healing but its about being able to manipulate a process inside a person’s body. Its only known as a healing gift because most people use it to heal, or that is its easiest application. This all depends on the power of your gift too, the more gifted you are the quicker you can heal. But in theory you can manipulate any process. If your gift is strong enough and you understand how the body works you can make someone move their arm, or you could grow someone’s hair out long, if your gift is strong enough.
But you have to be careful with speeding a process because it takes from their own body to make the process
Mia found Rota in her room “Hey Rota, are you alright?”“Yeah, just missing home and dad”Mia sat beside her and put her arm around her “are you upset you can’t go to his funeral”“Yeah a bit but I understand why.”I might ask Jay if there is a way around getting you to go, leave it with me”“Thanks” and Rota lent on Mia’s shoulder“Besides we owe you for such a beautiful Wedding”“How is it being Married,” Rota asked lancing up into Mia’s face but seeing the look on her sisters face she all of a sudden, didn’t want to know. “Ah never mind, I really don’t, want details”“Ok then, I will just say it’s . . . incredible.” Mia’s face changed to confusion “I never actually asked but who is a princess allowed to marry?”“Well truthfully, it’s n
Mia had spoken to Dora, and she had agreed to privately tutor Rose in her gift, her gift wasn’t that strong but with a good tutor on the right questions to ask, it wouldn’t matter. Dora also organised Rose and Emily to join classes on planet S610. Mia wanted the girls to learn some fighting styles so they wouldn’t be defenceless if someone came after them in the future. Also mixing with kids again might help them regain some normalcy. So it was organised, they have private lessons in the morning regarding their gifts, and join the trainee’s in the afternoons.Jays core team were still watching all the GPS trackers, watching the routes they took, the places they visited adding more information to the reports. It looked like there were certain places where these girls were “housed” and then they would leave for a night or day or even weekend before they were returned to the “house” or moved onto to the next “house&rdqu
Day 11The next morning Jay brought Mia’s suggestion to his team. Everyone thought it was a great idea and with that much military around her at all times anyone would be stupid to even try something. They also discussed all the things that they could get done while in Ziion.Rota’s and Mia’s blood had to be compared to confirm they were twin sisters. Alex and Jay wanted to walk through the location they had chosen for D-Day, It was an old concrete warehouse three stories tall with an underground bunker. They were going to borrow a couple of terrain mappers from the military to get a scaled model that the team could study in preparation. It would help prepare them for every possible outcome. They could also pick up the new armaments for Planet S610. Jay needed to find someone who he could trust with all their information on the smuggling ring, someone who had the resources to carry out a synchronized attack. Ryder also wanted to service and refuel &ld
Day 12The next morning, breakfast was a bit of a sober affair, everyone was going to miss Marie’s cooking, Kevin’s quick humour and Haley, Neil and Troy’s company, they were good people. They were all packed and Marie hugged everyone before she left the ship. When they got to Mia, they all gave her an extra long hug and wished them all the happiness. Marie also managed to get in three hints for them that they come visit to the farm as soon as they can.The next stop was the Port Ziion Military Base. Rota was kept on board so no one would see her and jeopardise her chance to be at her father’s funeral the next day. A doctor was sent on board to take their blood samples, the results should only take a day.Jays core team and Alex borrowed some terrain mappers and went out to the D-Day site. It was about 30mins from the Outskirts of the city. They all had a good look around, discussing the possible traps they could set and, how they c
They approached the unit they were to be stationed with. Jay saluted the commander“Who are you he demanded and how the hell did you get a spot on our unit on one of the biggest days of Ziion’s History” The commander demanded intimidatingly.“Captain Jay of the guard, I have in my in my protection Princess Rota of Ziion and Mia, who is also a high valued asset, who’s true identity is classified. Sir” He bit backThe commander was taken back a bit shocked.“Your x-military, and you have the princess?” all the demand had left his voice“Yes Sir, it was the only way to get her father’s funeral safely. We believe someone is still trying to assonate her.”“It came close at her motorcade incident, didn’t it?” the commander said thinkingJay just smiled “May I have a word with the unit regarding the Princess and Mia’s safety?”“
Mia stood alone with her thoughts, the coffin was about 5 meters from her. Although he wasn’t just a king, he was also her father. A father she had always longed for but never known. She wasn’t really upset at that, living on a planet where no one else had a father made it easier to cope with. If she could, would she wanted to grow up with a king as her father. She might be a totally different person, She supposed she did, but that wasn’t what happened and she was at peace with it. Besides she had Jay and Rota and the family on the ship. She cast a thought to Rota, this day would be so different for her.Mia’s eyes were drawn up to the massive high ceilings and on to the front wall of the building. It had huge pieces of textured stone, in oranges, red and black hues. It was beautiful and reminded her of the landscape of Planet S610. Mia thought to herself you could almost hide in some of the deep crevasses, it was so big. It made the space look n
The solider ushered Rota from the building straight into the waiting truck. When Mia and Jay got in Rota had collapsed into the soldiers’ arms. Mia let her be. When they got back to the Military Base Jay asked the solider to take Rota back to the ship and ask for Shimel and Lacy, he left straight away, carefully supporting Rota. Jay took a moment to thank the unit and commander. There was a bit of laughter and everyone congratulated Mia her shot. “Just remember, Mia and me and Princess Rota weren’t there for now. I don’t care who takes credit for the shot but we weren’t there.” Jay said sternly. They all agreed.As they headed back to the ship, they crossed paths with the solider who had taken Rota back.“Is she ok?” Mia asked“I think so, he said”“Thank you for comforting her like that”“That’s ok, it was the least I could do, after all it was her father.” H
Day 14The four Governors and Jay’s superior were welcomed onto “Mistress” and into the dining room. They were all served with a hot drink and a small array of food lined the table. Once everyone had been settled Rota started the meeting.“Thank you for meeting us here today, I am aware it is not where we normally meet and I am grateful that you could come to us. Thank you for the parts you played in organising my father’s funeral. It was truly beautiful.“You were there?” asked one of the Governors puzzled “I thought the Veiled princess was a decoy”“She was but I was also there”“How?” he said sceptically.“Never underestimate Captain Jays ability’s” was Rota only comment.“Who was the Solider who shot the guy in the middle of the service, how unthoughtful” asked another GovernorRota was
