Incathuga Daentsuro's Random Thoughts and Writings

There was a fight at school today. Ten people were arrested and two are in the hospital. If you care, google "Mills University Studies High School" and there might be something about it.

Italics are thoughts, italics in quotation marks are telepathy. And this is a flashback chappy, just in case you don't realise that it picks up from where the other ones drop off.

Just so you know, this is about 2000 words long, so get a snack. And there's implied mature content.

Pokle.

Had to do that.

I bet you're getting tired of this. You could always just scroll down.

This is pargraph 7.

Guess my favorite number.

No, not 69 you silly.

It's 13, so I'll go to that many paragraphs.

This is 11, so you should get that snack now.

I bet this is really pissing you off, but this is 12. The wait is almost over.

13!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I know that annoyed you, but I had to do it. Now you get to read. Just scroll down to do so.

























Chappy 10

As Cel and Inky searched Necromancer’s Desert, Sae and the rest of the Order guarded the gate. The first few hours were uneventful, but at about midnight a pair of girls walked over a nearby dune.

“Runtsk, do you think they’ll help us? Maybe this isn’t a good idea.”

“Don’t worry Groedsk. Just let me do all the talking.” Runtsk stood up and walked slowly to the group.

Sae pointed his rifle at the woman, who had pure white hair and was surprisingly tall. “Halt! Who are you?”

“Please, sir, I need help. My sister’s sick and needs a medic.”

Well, she’s good looking. I guess I could help her out. “I’ll come and help. Everyone else, stay here. If Deathy comes back, tell him to go back to the hiding place without me. I’ll head back once this girl’s sister is healed.” He turned to Runtsk and saw Groedsk behind her. “Let me get my pack together. What are your names?”

“We’re Runtsk and Groedsk. It’s a bit of a hike to where we want to be.”

Sae lifted the bag over his shoulder. “That’s fine with me. Lead the way.”

After several minutes of walking the oasis came into view. It was a small lake surrounded by trees and shielded from the wind by hills on all sides. It seemed oddly familiar to Sae, but he couldn’t place it in his life.

“She’s underground. We don’t know her name yet, so ask if she wakes up.”

“You don’t know her name? I thought you were her sister.”

“It’s a long story. I’ll tell you when she’s not in danger.” Runtsk lifted a door next to one of the trees and pulled Sae down the stairs.

When Sae adjusted to the darkness he saw the extent of the girl’s injuries. She had a broken leg that was poking out of her skin, bruises on almost all of her body, aura burns on one arm, and scratches on the other arm. “Was this a vampire attack? Only a vamp or aurist could burn like that. And I doubt aura masters would scratch like this.”

“Two vamps, actually.”

“This is barely possible. Most people would die from just an aura burst. And this looks like at least a bronze scratch. I’m surprised they didn’t just bite and get it over with.” He pulled out a few bottles and sprayed some foam on the scratches. “Bio-foam should heal those scratches quickly, but the burn and break are a bit harder. Had me some thread, a needle, and the orange bottle.”

Runtsk sorted through the bag until she found what Sae wanted. Sae sprinkled liquid from the bottle on the wound and slowly pushed the bone back into place. He grabbed the bio-foam bottle and sprayed it into the wound. He quickly sewed the rip together and turned his attention to her scratched arm. “It’s healing much faster than normal. I’ll need to look at that again later. Pass me a black can.” He took the can from Runtsk and shook it slightly before opening it over the burn. Almost instantly the aura field around the burn sparked and healed itself along with the burn. “It’s too fast. Normally that would take days.”

“Isn’t it good that she’s healing quickly?”

“One would think. Either it’s a great thing and she’ll be fine much earlier or it’s a horrible thing that will shock her system and force us to injure her again then heal her slowly.”

“I hope it’s the first then. Are you done with her?”

“Yeah, but she should be watched for a few hours at least. Get Groedsk to watch, then you can explain things to me outside.”

Runtsk grabbed Groedsk and told her to watch for any sign the girl was waking up, then walked to the lake and set her feet in it. “What do you want explained first?”

“First, tell me why you don’t know her name but call her your sister.”

“I... adopt sand children. They’re children lost in the desert, often abandoned by their parents. They become my family, my sisters.”

“Only girls?”

“I’ve only found one boy, but he was taken by a vamp hunter after a few days. That was seven years ago.”

Seven years? I was adopted six years ago, and I don’t remember much before that. Maybe... “Did the boy have anything with him? A necklace, maybe?”

“Yeah, a crystal hourglass on a gold chain. Why?”

Sae pulled out a crystal hourglass on a long chain of gold. “I think I might be that boy.”

“That necklace... It’s the same one he had back then. I guess someone had plans for you.”

“Yeah. I’m sure Leinetsu has something up her sleeve. That’s all I really wanted to ask about. Let’s go back and check on her.”

They walked back underground and saw the girl up and moving with Groedsk sitting in the corner, trying to find something to restrain the girl. “Hi sis. I meant to call you down, but I wanted to hold her down first.”

“I’m sure you did, but you still should have called us.” She turned to the girl, who was now looking through Sae’s med kit. “What’s your name?”

The girl looked at them and tried to hide under her clothes. She sent out a telepathic message: “My name’s Trinsk. Don’t be mad at me.”

“We’re not mad,” Sae replied. “Why would we be?”

“What are you talking about?”

“Didn’t you hear her? She said her name’s Trinsk and she doesn’t want us to be mad.”

“No, they wouldn’t hear me. I’m only sending these to you.”

“What do you mean, only sending them to me?”

“Think instead of talking. They’ll think you’re crazy if you don’t.”

“Like this?”

“Yep. Your mouth is still moving a bit, but you’ll get used to thinking without speech. I’m only talking to you through telepathy, so they won’t hear me. Thanks for earlier.”

“Earlier? You mean helping heal you?”

“Of course. I would still have a hole in my aura and a few bruises if you hadn’t helped.”

“You’d probably be dead if I hadn’t gotten here. You should be dead anyway.”

“I know. I heal rather quickly, so I would only have slight injuries. I just can’t heal aura as quickly as normal.”

“What are you? No human or elf would heal that fast. Or be as tall as you.” It had taken him this long to see her features. She was taller and thinner than any elf she had seen. Her hair was white with a streak of black down the middle and thinner streaks at the sides.

“I’m just a human. Nothing more or less.” Sae seemed to think this reply came too quickly, almost like it was planned.

“Okay, I’ll let you keep that secret to yourself. Why are you only talking to me though?”

“Because the other two aren’t as kind as you. I know you won’t tell anyone what I don’t want you to.”

Sae felt her mind coming closer to his. “Nice trick. How did you do it?”

“I’m a good telepath. It comes naturally. Just like delving into your mind and finding out your personal information. I think I’ll call you Sae for short.”

“How much do you know about me from that?”

“Most of your important details. Parents, age, stuff like that. That you’re adopted, for example. And that seven years ago Runtsk found you near the gateway with a crystal hourglass on a gold chain. I could find out more if I wanted, but that should be plenty for now.”

“You know that much without me saying any of it? That’s amazing.”

“It’s nothing, really. The hard part is finding out what everything means to you. Most people have cluttered minds, filled with pointless information that never changes. What’s important is often in the back, slowly changing.” She paused for a moment and Sae felt a rush of heat in the back of his mind. He took a moment to look at Runtsk and Groedsk, then realized they’d been waiting for several minutes just watching what must have seemed like a staring contest to them. “The chain is simple, nothing sentimental about it. The crystal, on the other hand, is important to you. You don’t quite know how, so I won’t tell you until you need to know.”

“You know what I don’t and you found that from my own mind? How’s that possible?”

“Like I said, the important memories are in the back of your mind. It’s the same with everyone. I’m done with everything I needed to say like this. Tell them what you want at your own discretion.”

“Alright. I don’t think I’ll tell them any of that. Perhaps you should talk too.”

“I know I should, but I can’t remember how to talk easily, only in partial telepathy like this.”

“That’s odd. You should practice some more speech then.”

“Yeah, I’ll do that alone.”

“Okay.”

Groedsk started getting annoyed by this. “Will one of you talk normally?”

“I am talking normally. We’ve been using telepathy for a while, and Trinsk barely knows how to talk anymore. She can only use partial telepathy.”

“I guess I understand that. It’s getting late now, so you should probably get some rest. We have one spare bed, so you’ll need to share for tonight.”

“I’ll just sleep on the floor. Trinsk can have the bed to herself.”

“No, don’t feel like you have to do that for me. I’ll be fine in the same bed as you.”

“If you’re sure. I guess I’ll just take that bed with you then.”



The next day, Sae woke up with Trinsk lying down on top of him, naked except for a pair of panties. That’s odd. She was fully clothed when I fell asleep.

“I guess you’re wondering what happened last night.” Trinsk spun around and sat up so she was facing Sae. This wasn’t necessary, but she liked the effect it had on people. “I got too hot under the blankets, so I stripped down a bit.”

“A bit? You’re showing me almost everything. I’d call that more than a bit.”

“You saw more than this when you were fixing me up. What’s wrong with seeing this now?”

“Those were completely different circumstances. You were in danger, so there was no attraction. Now you’re safe, so it’s much different.”

“I guess you’re right, but I was sure you’d like this. It’s the least I could do for helping me.”

“I like it, but this is a bit... too much. I’d have been fine with a simple ‘thank you.’”

“Well, if that’s all you want, thanks. I’ll go take a shower now. If you want, we can save water. It’s a precious resource here.” She walked to the bathroom and turned the shower on, but left the door open enough for Sae to see her. After a moment of debate, Sae went in too and closed the door behind him.



“Well, Inky, Sae went with a pair of girls to help their sister. He told us to tell you to go back to the hiding place.”

“Where did he go? I refuse to go back without him.”

“Inky, I have to agree with Sateerag for once. It’s pointless to look for him, and he’ll go straight to the hideout when he’s done. We should go before we melt from this heat.”

“I guess you’re right, Cel. Hopefully he’ll be back soon.” He looked into the distance and sighed. “Alright, people. We’re heading home.”



“That was fun.”

“I know. Remember to use telepathy so you don’t wake anyone up though.”

“Oh, I forgot for a minute. Do you think you’d like to join the group I’m in?”

“Maybe. What do you do in this group?”

“Well, right now we’re trying to seal the chunk of the draconic council that has turned evil.”

“Bah. I don’t care much about politics. I’ll join you just in case I find a certain person, though.”

“A certain person? Who might that be?”

“He goes by the name Daenotsu. I’ve wanted to meet him for a while.”

“Daenotsu? He leads the Lumine Resistance. We share our hideout with them, so you could meet him as soon as we get there.”

“Well then, let’s go. I’ll pack up anything we’ll need.”

“What about Runtsk and Groedsk? Shouldn’t we tell them?”

“Yeah. I’ll wake them up and see if they want to come.” Trinsk finished getting dressed and left the room to find Runtsk.
