Duke's Rescue, Journey To Terrellia free porn video

Duke's Rescue, the Journey to Terrellia By: Malissa Madison All the way forward they were explaining that while no one really understood how it worked, unless they were actually going to meet another driver, the passageway through the trucks would bypass everyone else leading to the Diner itself. She looked around wide eyed at the interior space. "How is this possible?" she asked. Giggling Daisy said, "Magic, that's the easiest explanation. You do believe in Magic, right?" "Uhh, yes I do now," Lisa chuckled nervously as they were led to a table and handed menus. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Spider Silk sat in the cab of Beast with Torque and their two Spiders, Bob and Millie. She could still hardly believe how much Bob had grown in the last year. She could barely sit on Spider's shoulder, and was definitely too large to fit between her breasts anymore. At the beginning of the journey last year Bob had barely managed to fit on the palm of her hand. She'd thought that her recent growth was a side effect of being out in the stars. But then they'd seen Willow and learned that Bob had Goth DNA which was now attributed to her sudden growth in size. "No it is not being among the stars," confirmed Millie. "It is the hunting of larger game. While living on Crickets and other insects, Bob like any other spider only grew to the size of her environment. It is a way to avoid depleting our food supply. Now that she has grown big enough to hunt rodents, she is growing again." It was true, Tiny was already the size that Bob was when they started the journey last year. Spider shuddered to think what it would be like if Bob or Millie mated and produced another clutch of young since at a week old Millie had been as big as Bob when they first met her. "Tiny hunts and feeds with Arlina, who hunts much larger game. Besides, has Bob not shared Blood Patties with Ariel and myself? And those are made with blood from cattle." Then after a bit of consideration she continued to confide in her friends, "Of the three Great Spider Species, only the Phase Spiders create such a large clutch. With our growing size the number of young we produce will be reduced to dozens rather than hundreds," assured Millie. "I only have two dozen brothers and sisters from my own hatching." "Three, oh the Driders," said Torque. "Actually the Driders are a Hybrid Race, they reproduce as Mammals, in ones and two's. I was referring to the Lyconian Howlers, they were nearly extinct," stated Millie. As she mentioned them Beast pulled up the images of them on the view screen. "Torque, do those look familiar?" asked Spider Silk with a grin. "They look like gigantic Wolf Spiders," he answered. "Well like the Goth, the Howlers originally bonded only with Lycan's," explained Millie. "But since the Queens have become friends and ended the long feud between the Cats and the Wolves, and forbidden anyone going to the southern continent of T-9, they have begun to recover in numbers." "Wait, T-9 is one of the Terrellian Planets that joins with the Lyconian Quadrant." Said Spider. It was also the only planet where the Spiders could be found to thrive in the wild. The Terrellian Goths on the other hand had begun to thrive on T-3 under the watchful eyes of the Terrellian Red Queen, Falla. "Yes, the entire reason the first war began, for control of the planet." Chimed in Millie. "No Terrellian's have been allowed to venture to the southern Hemisphere. But by agreement with Natani, only a small number of Lyconian Arachnologists have been permitted to stay and observe the Howlers to try and help them make a return. They are actually quite as friendly as my own kind. But they have stronger abilities for camouflaging themselves. They are also able to misdirect attention away to help them stay hidden." "Oh, then how do they know they are making a comeback then?" asked Bob. "We discuss and share our hunting grounds with them. Besides no one has yet to notice Yarris," answered Millie. "Yarris?" Now the Goth actually giggled in their minds. "The next time that you see Princess Natira, ask her how Yarris is getting along at the Academy. But please not when there are others around. The Queens do not wish it to be known just yet that the Howlers are beginning to multiply and bond again." +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Daisy was busy calculating their scheduled arrival at Iridani, and began to smile. Her own truck would be there waiting for her when they got there. Her mind was busy trying to decide on a name for her. She had pulled up the builder's site on Kelvin Nine for the umpteenth time to look at progress pictures and was so preoccupied that she hadn't noticed when Primrose sat down next to her. "Can I see too?" she about jumped out of her skin at the sound of her sisters voice. "What are you looking at, porn?" Primrose giggled. "Oh, that's so cool." The pictures began with the bare frame and progressed as they added more and more to her. They were soon joined by Lisa and Lorrna who were busy looking at the pictures as well. None of them seemed to notice there was a two week gap in the available pictures. "What type of engine is that?" asked Lisa seeing the main drive power plant. "That is an Intergalactic Class Twelve Cold Fusion Power Train. The heart of the truck." Explained Lorrna with a somewhat curious glance at Daisy. The Class Twelve CF Power Trains were or rather had been reserved for the Intergalactic Police Transports. They were in effect the same Interstellar Drive Engines used in the heavy lift Shuttles, and the long range Patrol ships of the Intergalactic Chief Trackers. But the Chief Trackers got less notoriety than the IGPT's, their primary mission was searching for those who sold restricted technology to Banned Planets, such as the criminal Janet Riggs had done. Lorrna smiled to herself, only two other Earth trucks had been converted to handle one those engines, Lady Justice and Diamond Back. Both now counted among the IGPT's. They were still watching as the nearly completed truck was rolled into a paint bay for the initial coating of paint. Off to the side were explanations of what was happening. Custom Earth Color, 'Revlon Shimmering Moon Glow'. "What the, oh my god," giggled Daisy looking now at her own nails painted in her favorite nail color. A color she'd worn since she was fourteen. The next pictures showed different angles of the truck as it sat shimmering in the sunlight now loaded on a flatbed prepared to leave for her delivery on Iridani Five. "Momma's coming Shimmer," she giggled with delight. Prairie Flower picked up the conversation over the key in Primrose' hand. Daisy's voice saying, "Momma's coming Shimmer," was repeated in the Dispatch office of Wyoming/Ute IGC. And now Otter giggled as she added the name of the new truck now in transit. She already had the locator beacon, and other information in her dispatch computer. All it needed was for the trucks systems to be activated and imprinted when Daisy arrived. She double checked the delivery schedule, it was supposed to be here two days before Daisy's birthday. Next she checked again to be sure that Daisy would be arriving home on her birthday. It was a five day transit from the builders' shops on Kelvin Nine, and on her current schedule, Daisy would be there in seven days. Daisy herself was checking the delivery status, and wishing that she could speed things up. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ At each stop along the way, Lisa was greeted with enthusiasm and made to feel welcome. Now they were about to arrive at Iridani and she was almost as anxious to see and meet Shimmer, her friend Daisy's new truck. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ As soon as they reached Iridani, She and Duke were greeted by almost every truck and driver on the planet. She followed behind Bondage and Wraith as they turned off separate from the rest who were lining up at the fuel pumps or pulling off to park beside the diner. Now the three trucks sat at the edge of the freeway together, and she waited until she saw Lorrna, whom she really was beginning to think of as a Momma, coming toward her before she opened the door to get out. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ As Leola stood in front of Shimmer watching as he was initiated and Imprinted, Night Flyer got her attention. "Leola, is Shimmer to become a new Inter Galactic Police Transport?" asked her truck. "No, why would you think that?" "Because he has a Class Twelve, Cold Fusion Power Train as well as a secondary Power Train Booster. My sensors are detecting multiple backup systems and a Portal Phase Jumper as well." ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Across the lot Wraith and Bondage were reporting much the same thing to Lorrna and Commander Tabitha Springer. "Lorrna, Shimmer has a Portal, Phase Jumper," reported Wraith. "Tabitha, did Bondage notify you of the scans of Shimmer's systems?" she asked her fellow Commander. "Yes," confirmed Tabitha with a giggle. The Transports had been unable to scan the new truck until it had been imprinted and started for the first time. "Why are you giggling? That is restricted technology." "Lorrna, do you know who it is that she is currently courting?" asked Tabitha. "No, I wasn't aware that we needed to know. So who is it?" "Reno Demure and Cord Shale." "Holy shit, you mean that girl is seeing both of them, at the same time?" Did this girl realize that Reno was the eldest son of the highest ranked Terrellian Intergalactic Police Commander, the Queen's oldest brother? Or that Cord Shale was the youngest son of their Queen's next oldest sister Lamella?" She quickly checked to see the first destination listed for Shimmer. Sure enough it was Terrellia Four. Lorrna introduced Lisa to everyone and they took advantage of Tabitha's offer to monitor the Skyway Net while they went to look over the progress being made in repairing Snarl. She wasn't surprised to see there were both Terrellian and Lyconian Tracker Scouts lending a hand in her repairs. Or the fact that already most of the Damage looked to have been repaired. They were just congratulating Daisy as a group when Wraith got her attention. "Lorrna, there is an Academy Shuttle requesting permission to land." "An IMA Shuttle?" "No Lorrna, a TIGA long range shuttle," she was informed. TIGA was the designation for the 'Terrellian Intergalactic Academy' the same Academy that trained not only the Terrellian Intergalactic Police, but the Royal Guardians as well. Their counterpart on Lyconia was known as LIGA. She also knew that both young men had just graduated from the two year Investigators course, after completing the four year basic course. But why would they be arriving by Academy shuttle? On a whim she asked, "Wraith, what College Degree does Daisy Lightfeather hold?" "Daisy Lightfeather holds a Master's Degree in Criminology and a Bachelor's Degree in Forensic Science from the University of Colorado. She also holds an Associate Degree in Finance. And has been to several lectures at Earth FBI Academy at Quantico Virginia." Answered her truck. Bondage was relaying the same information to Tabitha. "What are they hauling to Terrellia?" was the next question. "Nothing, the trailer they are going to pull will be empty, but they will pick up their first loaded trailer at," Wraith stopped. "I'm sorry Lorrna that information is classified along with the crew list." "Thank you Wraith, that's all I needed to know." She told her truck with a grin. One of her friends who was a Maintenance Officer had asked if she knew why there was a new trailer being constructed without a truck to pull it. He thought maybe they were going to refit all the Transports with new upgraded Trailers. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ It wasn't until Shimmer was ready to drive that Daisy's family began climbing in to congratulate her. No one said anything about the differences in his Long Range Communications Array or the way his cab and living compartments were not quite the same as the rest of the Terrellian trucks, nor did the notice the fact that his outer skin was constructed of Iridium. Of everyone gathered around, the only people who knew that they were actually looking at the very first (Terrellian/Lyconian), TL Mark Five IGPT, were Daisy and the two who had just arrived by long range shuttle. The pair had stopped enroute to pick up the replacements for Snarls lost officers. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Fox smiled along with her sisters as they watched Daisy jump from the driver's door into the waiting arms of the two young Terrellian males who had just stepped through the main gates into the family's Terminal area. Daisy had first met the two while they were here teaching a course on Intergalactic Criminology at IMA. A course she'd enthusiastically attended in her Mountain Lion form. There she'd also met Tessa Yorre and the four had become almost inseparable during the three week course. Her family discretely gave the trio a bit of alone time as they climbed together up into the cab. "So did you bring it?" asked Daisy even as they began peeling each other out of their clothing. "Yes," answered both young men. "Shouldn't we plug it in first?" "I was instructed to wait for Tessa to arrive," said Reno. She was on her knees now between the pair, "When will she get here?" "Are you anxious for our first mission assignment or for our second wife to arrive?" asked Cord. "Both, but right now I want to show you both how much I've missed you." Six hours later, a very happy and satisfied Daisy led the two into the terminal office. It hadn't escaped Otter's notice that her oldest daughter clung to the two males hands. Or the way she was explaining things to them as if they were going to be driving with her. "Daisy, we just had a message for you from Howler," she said. Then noticed the way she tried to be casual about asking why they were sending her a message. "Here you go. Here's the transcript," she handed it to her daughter. 'Please stand by to escort Captain Tessa Yorre to the Terrellian Intergalactic Academy, TIGA.' and then the estimated arrival time was included. "She'll be here in an hour and thirty minutes," blushed Daisy. "Momma can Little Doe take over for a bit? We wanted to take you to dinner with Daddy and Momma Fox and Swallow. We have something we need to tell you about, but the rest of the family can't know just yet." "Doe, we'll be at the Diner if anything pops up," Otter informed her. "Momma Swallow, You'll come too, won't you?" "Yes, should I call Beaver?" answered Swallow. "No Momma, this is something that she doesn't need to know about. At least not yet." The whole family knew that Beaver tended to brag about things she knew. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Old Elk, Fox, Swallow, and Otter sat enjoying dinner with their next oldest daughter and the two young men, waiting to hear them announce they were getting married. But they'd already finished eating, and had already answered the older adults' questions as truthfully as they could without giving anything away. Soon the only ones near them in the diner were the Commanders of the three IGPTs sitting at another table. "Maybe Tyree knows something, they're almost here," commented Commander Teak. The comment caught Fox's ear and now she was paying closer attention to their conversation as well. "Daddy, I promise as soon as Tessa gets here we'll go to Shimmer and tell you everything. I just wish Lorelei was here." Lorelei everyone knew was the oldest daughter. "Daisy?" Shimmer got her attention. "Howler will be here in five minutes." "Thank you Shimmer, we'll meet her there. Daddy, Momma's, shall we go?" she stood up and noticed the watchful eyes of the three other Transport commanders. As Howler stopped briefly at the gates, everyone noticed the way Tessa was greeted by the three. Dinessa said, "I'll be waiting at the Diner with my fellow Commanders for the big announcement. But please, reconsider throwing your career away to drive a truck," begged her mother. "You've spent so much time teaching Forensics." "Momma, I am not going to have this discussion again," she turned and they led Daisy's parents to Shimmer. "Momma's, Daddy I want you to meet my husbands and Co-wife, Tessa Yorre." She nodded to Tessa who was entering the combination to the briefcase that Reno had carried aboard. Then Cord removed a large looking Hard Drive. "Shimmer, prepare to receive your IGPT Downloads," said Daisy with a shy almost frightened look towards her parents as she pushed it into the previously unseen drive socket. Old Elk was sitting in what he thought was just another captain style seat in the wide open living compartment. Suddenly a 360* Heads Up, Holograph Display sprang up around him. As Shimmer began to down load the data, the three closest IGPT's were marked, then the others began appearing. Finally one last transport appeared, Snarl appeared with a designation, 'Transport under reconstruction but active'. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ "Commander, IGPT Shimmer just came online reported the four closest Transports to their Commanders. Please stand by for a joint announcement by the Queens of Terrellia and Lyconia." They knew the same message was being relayed to every Transport. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ "I know that you were hoping I was going to join the family in driving the routes between planets. But please don't be disappointed in me," Daisy began. "Daughter," Old Elk got her attention. "Look at me." When she was looking at him he continued. "I am not disappointed in you for your choice of career. Or for your choice in mates," he smiled at her. "Your family bought you this truck because you wanted to drive. Just like your sister Lorelei is driving her own truck. Shimmer is your truck to do with as you please, and we will keep the secret for as long as needed. Like your sister you are doing two of the most important things to you, you are putting your extensive education to good use. But if you think that you are going to get away with being secretly married, you are mistaken." He reached out to take hold of Tessa's hand now. "Your Mother's and I will be in the Diner waiting for your formal spankings. Fox, Otter, Swallow, shall we go meet the mother of our Daughter in-law?" "Yes I believe she might need a bit of support," said Fox. But just then the two Queens began their announcement. "As you now know, the Intergalactic Police Transport Shimmer, has now come fully online. This newest Transport is a joint venture between our societies, Lyconia, Terrellia, and Earth." Each system was named by its official representative. We'd had no idea that Grandmother Night Bird was the official Representative for Earth. But then again, she was the eldest leader present. "So that is what she's been hiding from us," grinned Fox at seeing Night Bird standing among the Queens as she stood and announced that Earth had a part in this newest venture. She'd left with Fire headed for the annual Centaur Spirit Women's conference on Omega Seven. "Shimmer will remain unknown to the Quadrants until he has time to reach Terrellia and recruit the needed troopers as they travel the Quadrants enroute to their first destination, Earth. There they will be assisted in investigating, in plain attire, other such captives as Duke, who has reported rumors of others like himself." The transmission ended and then a private one began. "You will meet with the Alpha Alliance who will assist you as needed. Also a formal invitation has been extended by David Andrews to meet with him at the FBI Academy at Quantico, Virginia. It is up to you if you choose to do so." "You will be allowed to recruit from Planetary Police forces to fill out any openings in your crew that fall within your own set guidelines." They were told. After her parents had left she giggled as she helped Tessa find something besides her uniform. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Dinessa had just finished complaining to the other Commanders that her daughter was about to throw away her career to become a truck driver when the announcements had been made. Of course it was scandalous, Tessa was the only daughter of the late Kai Yorre, Brother to Queen Natani Yorre of Lyconia. But then the announcements had been made. Now she sat huddled together with not just the other Transport Commanders, but with the Lightfeather's. It seemed like the entire family was showing up now. Holding Dinessa's hand Fox said, "This will show everyone that they are married. Even if it is not officially recorded elsewhere." Still Otter smiled, her oldest daughter was to become the First Wife, and the truck was their home. Lisa sat wide eyed watching the four enter the Diner. Then Daisy led them to the two straight backed chairs sitting in the middle of the now open space facing each other. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ "Otru, Dessi get up here," called Saniya. They'd just received the announcement of Shimmer's commissioning. And were speculating on who the command group would be. "What is it Love?" Otru asked even as she waved her hand toward the live feed from the Iridani Five Diner. "Our son has finally found himself a worthy wife," said Dessi after watching him spank Daisy. But then she gasped in surprise as he and Cord traded and now Tessa was across his lap. "I wonder if they know about Reno and Cord's ability to shift to another form?" commented Saniya. Otru slid a copy of Tessa's file in front of his first wife and grinned as she gasped at the information there. "No wonder they want to keep this Commission a Secret." +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Of Daisy's family, only her father and three senior mother's and oldest sister Lorelei knew that she could shift to other forms than her Mountain Lion. Beaver was unaware of it as was all the family with the exception of Lorelei and Primrose. Among the People it was rare to find a shifter who could take on so many different forms. Likewise, it was rare among the other races, Lyconian, Terrellian and Demonian especially, to find a shifter who could assume a Human form. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ "Momma, is that what Duke and I are going to become?" asked Lisa Ann. "Another Transport?" "That is up to you Sweetie, but before you can decide that, you'll have to finish your education. And then every Transport Officer has to complete a minimum of a four year course in Criminology," explained Lorrna. "School?" she asked in disbelief. "Yes but it is up to you where you attend high school," stated Lorrna. "Of course if you choose to attend here you will be in school with my daughter Cee," said Layella the Wraith's Primary Driver. "Cee goes to school here?" the two had met over video chat a few times, but the subject of school had never come up. "Lisa, in order for me to meet the current requirements to become a Transport I would have to have a complete overhaul and a refit that would take approximately six months. Unless of course I was converted by one of the Bio-Ships," stated Duke. "W, when do I have to start school? Will they let me be a girl in school?" she asked. "You wouldn't need to start until after we reach Terrellia Four, and you have talked with Tarriana," said Lorrna. "But Lisa, Princess Shasstine goes to school here." She let that sink in. "And I get to see my Momma more now that I'm going here than I did when I was going to TGA," stated Cee as she stepped into Wraith's dining area. Seeing the teenager still in her school uniform, Lisa began to wonder how strict Malissa's Academy for Exceptional Girls, was. "Cee, I brought you something," giggled Layella as she took out a long package from one of the overhead storage compartments. The girl unwrapped her new Vershang, "Thank you Momma, thank you." ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Even as Wraith, Duke, Beast, Blue Jay, Skipper, Bondage and Shimmer were shooting the portal headed for Terrellia another conversation was taking place in the Palace. "Tarri, I want it annulled. I will not stand by and allow my son to marry a Human and a Bitch," ranted Lamella. "He's an Officer of the Intergalactic Police Damnit not a Truck Driver." "Their Marriage Stands as it is, I have already had it entered into the records," shot back the Queen angrily at having her council meeting disrupted. "If I were Queen there would be a lot things done differently, mark my words, no good will come of this." "Lamella, might I remind you to watch your tongue. I was chosen after Niesha abdicated her right to be Queen. Further, it is only my love for you as a sister that has kept you from occupying the cell next to your Husband." "You call yourself a Queen, you molly coddle the damned Wolves, I wish the guild had succeeded," she suddenly bit off her rant realizing what she was saying. "Careful Lamella, you are only a few choice words away from High Treason." Tarriana goaded her on in shock. "High Treason? I almost drowned you when you were three, but Mother heard you screaming, that was the real treason. And those damned Guild Masters fucked everything up. All the planning that we put into that, I should have had Throne then." The throne room had fallen deadly silent. "Darius, Please." She made a motion toward her older sister. But Peaches was there first. Tears streamed from her eyes as she flashed back to the scene when she was three and Lamella had tried to drown her in the pool. She'd convinced herself that she must have imagined it all wrong like everyone had said at the time. "Today's Council Meeting is over," said Cressida. "Come Momma, you need to rest." "No I have to contact Otru, Mornik and Niesha they need to know." She told her oldest adopted daughter. "And Grandma?" "Love," Shastarr was suddenly there holding her. Very few people knew the old Cheetah was more than just a retired Guardian, that he was Shasstine's father. He'd been her Personal Guardian since she was seventeen up until he retired after their only child was born. He had become like a father to each of her kittens as well, and had been sitting cuddling Terrilla, their grand kitten while Cressida and Darius had performed their own duties. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Dessi was jerked out of her concentration of plotting an intercepting course with Shimmer by the Screeching of a Flash Message Alert. Skimming it first she said, "Oh Fuck, Saniya, recall the Goths. We have to get to T-4 fast!" "What is happening?" demanded both Otru and Saniya at the same time. "Is Tarriana alright?" they were obviously worried. "Here read the message yourself," she handed it to them knowing that she was missing something. "Otru, you were right to suspect her. She did try to drown me when I was three. And now she has admitted her part in the attack on Cressida." "T" Was all that the message had contained. "Lamella," said Otru. "When Tarri was three she almost drowned in the pool. But Lamella supposedly saved her, even though it hadn't looked that way to Tarriana, but our mother believed Lamella at the time." After a few moments he said, "Please get me the palace." Before they had a chance for the message to go through though another call came in for Otru. "Otru, I guess you've heard already?" "Yes Niesha. Are you calling to ask me to talk with Tarri," she didn't give him a chance to finish. "Hell no. She's committed High Treason. I just want you to know that I stand with Tarri on this. Mother chose her for a reason after I abdicated my right," said their eldest sister. "Oh, Momma wants to talk to you." "Son, I know this puts you in a very difficult position," began Morella Demure. "I should have believed her when she was three." There were real tears in the old Tigress' eyes. "Mother, none of us wanted to believe that Lamella could do such a thing," he assured her. "But, I was there when she confessed to everything. Otru, Tarri was crying, she had a look on her face like, like she'd been betrayed by everyone." "Mom," Saniya butted into the conversation. "I know Tarri, she would never blame you. No one wants to believe that a child or sibling could do something like that." "But," "Mom, she had enough evidence before her sudden confession. Tarri chose to believe Lamella, that it was a mistake." "But why would Lamella make such a public confession?" asked their mother and sister. "Mom, Niesha did you not hear the news from Iridani?" asked Dessi. At their blank looks Dessi giggled. "Momma, Reno and Cord have both chosen mates." They'd had a chance now to view the footage of the interrupted council meeting. "Reno?" "Yes Mom. Reno and Cord both have chosen Daisy Lightfeather as their first wife." Said Saniya. "And Tessa Yorre as their second," now Morella grinned. "But what about their careers?" "Mother, there are things that must be kept secret for now. But if you are there when Wraith and Bondage arrive with Duke you can meet everyone and I am sure that you will understand." Said Otru. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ The small convoy shot the portal right behind another Transport. This one was the Terror, a Lyconian IGPT on a familiarization tour. The Terror was only about six months older than Werewolf, but she too had a mixed crew. "Sanissa, we are receiving a message from Shimmer," stated the Communications Officer. "Hello Little brother," she greeted Reno on the view screen. "So when do I get to meet your gorgeous wives?" "After we pick up our trailer at TIGA we are going to visit Grandmother at the Southern Palace. What's your current destination?" he asked his oldest sibling by his First Mother. "Aunt Racine is going to be there, she has a family announcement to make," she added. "Oh you mean about her being pregnant again," he admitted to knowing. "Really, but she and Aunt Tarri just returned from vacation?" actually Racine had extended her own by three months. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Wraith and Bondage turned with Blue Jay, Skipper, Duke and Beast between them as they passed the first security check point. Flash messages were sent ahead and now as the six trucks pulled to a stop in front of the palace, Queen Tarriana stepped gracefully to be beside the door to Duke. Wide eyed Lisa stepped down to the ground only to have a pair of hands help her to the ground. "Welcome Lisa Shay," Tarriana kissed her forehead. Reaching out she touched the truck, "Welcome home Duke, Singer." She next petted the Goth. Then her eyes fell on Fay as she and Willow were escorted by Lorrna. "Fay, Willow, Welcome to Terrellia. And thank you for bringing Morr home and seeing his last wishes through. You are now truly a Citizen of Terrellia." "But I shift to a Coyote?" "And my Goddaughter is a Wolf and the Princess of Lyconia," countered Tarriana. Next she held out her hands to Spider Silk and Torque, "Welcome friends. Everyone please come inside." "Bob, Millie meet Peaches and this pretty little lady is Singer. Lorrna, where is Frill?" "Your Majesty she will join us later. She wishes to take advantage of a few private moments," explained Lorrna. Lisa was looking at everything, amazed at the beauty of the palace. She also noticed there were armed Guardians and Goths everywhere. "Please forgive my Guardians. There was a bit of trouble earlier and they only want to be sure of our safety." +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ I couldn't believe the welcome we were getting, I felt so special meeting not just the queens, but their Kittens as well. Many of the Guardians greeted me as if I belonged there. And then after Dinner, Peaches led us as I carried Morr's ashes to the Goth Garden's. The Goth Garden's was a grand garden with a winding foot path that led past little markers erected in honor of Goth's who had passed away in service to the Quadrant. Many in battle defending the realm. Soon we came to a small stone. Like the others there was a hollow spot to hold the urn of ashes. Next to it was another stone, and I recognized the name on it, Jenna, Bondmate of Shasta Shaye. I watched as Lisa and Singer paid their respects, then we were led back into the palace where a memorial was given in memory of Shasta. We didn't know that one of Shimmer's missions was to locate the remains of both Shasta and Jenna. Daisy Lightfeather had made that one of her priorities. Lisa was very comfortable now being seen in her Lynx form, and we seldom saw her in her Human form. She was going to school on Iridani, and I'd been offered a chance to open a concession stand here at the TGA but I wasn't quite sure about that. I was leaning more toward working at the diner on Iridani. I knew so many people there already and would meet even more. Besides here I would be more of a curiosity to people wanting to see Willow and hear the tale of finding Morr. And of course there were those who were eager to offer advice on what I should have done to save him. Things that hadn't existed twenty nine years ago when he first came into my life. The Queens knew and understood that as did Lorrna and the Goths. No I would go to Iridani where I had a hope of having a normal life, and if it didn't work out Willow and I could always return to earth.
