It was a little disorienting to wake up and find him staring at me. His expression was so odd. It took me a moment to decide what it was. Irritation a...d tenderness. I wondered why."Hey, I didn't realize you were coming back today. Didn't mean to fall asleep and keep you waiting." I haven't been here long. Don't worry about it." So is it just you today or will Steve be here, too?"He grinned ruefully, "No, it's just me. Steve had to go back home. He's got a lot on his plate right now, what with. .. NO! The ghost of LALHLIMPUIL, herself, bestowed the Emblem of the Queen on me. IT is what proclaimed me the new Queen,” I told them. They stared at me in shock for a short time.“The ghost was still there!?” they both asked in shock. “The last of the Females came out to die in the sun and the open air. She told us of the Queen’s ghost, but that was 3,500 years ago. How could the ghost still be there?” they asked in confused voices.“The ghost was still there but weak. She directed me to remove. Any ship designed had to take a beating and dish a beating out. But this was a ship for a bully – a man who would throw the first, second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth punch without ever once imagining that one might punch back.“Surviving until their shields pop, that’s the trick,” she said, quietly. “You think we can, Nestor?”Nestor smirked at her. “Can an Imperial glass a planet?”“Good man!” Vynn exclaimed. “Do you know the way it sailed?”“Do I look like a witch or a mutant?” Sprunt. My aunt caught wind of it and approached me about it. She told me how my uncle would get bad headaches in Africa and drugs weren’t that easy to get a hold of. What she did was give him massages for them. They usually worked and she had gotten very good at them.I had heard that massages could work but no one had been able to actually get the job done before so I was skeptical. My aunt was a small woman. Maybe 5’2” and a little over a hundred pounds. There was no way her little hands could.
