Some homecoming...
"Code black! Reavers have locked onto our location and will be here in two light seconds!""Battle stations!" I yelled. Glaring at n**, I added, "So you just drop us off in the middle of Reaver territory then eh?"
Saying nothing, n** gestured at the display screens at the front of the command deck. They had returned to Gaia.
Staring in unbelief for a moment at the display screen, I turned to n**, "There is no direct slip route between the fairy home world and Gaia."
"That you know of," n** replied.
"They've boarded us," Nerissa said, appearing in her hologram form. "I'm doing what I can to prevent them from spreading through the ship but they're burning through all the barriers."
"Draco's tail!" I said, storming away to head off the larger group of the Reavers. Behind me, I sensed n** and Nissa were following me. Glancing over my shoulder, I saw that n** had transformed her clothes into dragon scale armor
[+1]. Before I could dwell too long on who the scales came from, eight or nine Reavers appeared.
"Stay behind me!" I said.
Ignoring my order, n** shoved me back towards Nissa. Drawing a pair of katanas, n** took a defensive pose. Rushing forward, the Reavers closed the distance between them and n**. In a blink of an eye, the Reavers fell apart as pieces of their bodies spurted blood.
"Did she move?" I asked Nissa.
"No," Nissa replied. "My sensors tell me that her weight never shifted a even a little nor was there any air disturbance from the blades."
"This feline
anthromorph--"
"
Animagus," n** said, cleaning and sheathing her katanas.
"Pardon?" I asked.
""Anthromorphs are born as part human, part animal," n** replied, pushing between Nissa and I. "
Animagi are human witches or wizards that study and train to transform into animals."
Watching her walk down the corridor and take a right, Nissa and I looked at each other with raised eyebrows. Shrugging, we followed her.
"The Reavers are all closing in on Med Deck," Nerissa said, one of her many display screens flicking into life. "I've got the door locked and reinforced but it won't be long before they break in."
Growling, I broke into a run.
