Paradise Violated
“Lieutenant, calm yourself. That’s your fear talking. Fear that was instilled in you by the Empire. Think about it. You of ALL people should want to leave it. You never really wanted to serve anyway did you? You were forced to by your family’s tradition. You basically were born into slavery. I’m telling you to break the chains. Be the first one in your family to finally be free.”
You words seem to have an effect on LaFleur. He begins to tear up.
“I’m going to do it! You’re right! I never wanted to be part of the Empire! Hah! You hear that Dad? I’m not following your footsteps anymore! Hahahahaha! I’m free! I’m fucking free! YEAH!” LaFleur follows up his sudden outburst with a couple of shots to the air.
Unfortunately LaFleur’s enthusiasm has attracted some rather interesting predators which immediately reveal themselves by uncamouflaging themselves and savagely biting chunks of flesh out of one of your soldiers!
“Fire!” you shout, and your soldiers obey, the fauna proves to be more difficult than you think though, they resemble snakes with little legs, but are a whole lot quicker and blink in and out of sight. You must be by a nest because they seem endless; you’ll lose a lot of people at this rate.
“Back to the river! Destiny awaits!” you shout while you all run back the rafts while firing.
Soon you’re on your way again. You shoo away a Slink Slink which is squeaking underfoot. In fact there are a few more of them now. More must’ve wandered on while you were briefly docked. You can’t be concerned about that now. You have other important matters on your mind. You know that the Xont structure must be getting close, and you need to be prepared. You look over at Alyssa who doesn’t show it, but you can tell she’s still troubled by all this. You walk over to her.
“Alyssa.”
“Sir.”
“You don’t need to call me that, you can address me by my name.” you say and touch her face. There’s that cool feeling again.
“I…don’t know, I don’t feel comfortable addressing you as common, you’re always going to be the Captain to me.”
“Are you scared of leaving the Empire?”
“Of course not, my loyalty has always been to you. I’d follow you anywhere. You saved my life, I’m indebted to you but… it’s just…never mind.”
You make a bold move and put your arms around Alyssa, she doesn’t resist, but you see a slight hint of sadness in her face. You wish you could make her see that this will all work out. She will see eventually. You know she will. As you’re holding her, you’re interrupted again.
“Sir. There’s a Lizard village up ahead, should we stop?” Higgins asks
Ah ha! You knew you weren’t crazy! The Elojin said there was a Lizard village near the Xont structure, this must be it! You’re very close now. Perhaps you should stop though, the Lizards may know something. Besides you’re going to eventually unite this planet under your rule, you should start making allies.
