The Never Ending Quest - Episode 2892

"Considering all the things that had happened," Frederigo D'Honaire says as he waves goodbye to the departing ship that carried Astra 1. "I was beginning to wonder whether or not we'd ever get our new diplomat to sea!"

"Well, after the meeting the hardest part was repacking her belongings," Alicia says, tail swishing as she walked along with her husband and .

"At least replacing the hairbrushes proved no difficult task," Loam murmured, muzzle twitching. "Considering the rather large surplus we have on hand of various articles of clothing and personal items left behind by the former inhabitants of Panaras!"

This brings sad nods from the other Manimals.

"The Lizards have much to answer for," Alicia murmurs darkly. "For what they did to my land, and to Terra as a whole!"

"Ahmen!" vixen and manfox say together.

A few seconds later, Loam brings up something that had been bothering him. The others stop and listen to what the large manwolf has to say.

"Good grief," Loam mutters. "It's weird what's happened over the last month and a half! I thought that when Carradene finally revealed that he'd the rogue dragon....dragoness Malachi was going to sneak in and free the Pack from the Isle, I thought it was the strangest idea I was EVER going to hear in my life! I mean, not in a thousand lifetimes would I EVER think that there was such a dragon like Malachi!"

"I know," Alicia agreed. "The only dragons I had ever heard about were the type that burned down villages, ate princesses, and generally made Fred's last occupatoin-Dragonslaying-deadly necessary! I never thought I'd see a dragon who'd want to HELP human beings even a little bit, and here's Malachi and her Dragon Circle. Now, she's caring for my old homeland with such fierce devotion and love.....almost like a mother protecting a child."

"And then there's the Golems and the Lizards," Loam went on, shaking his furry head in wonder. "God help us if those Juggernauts go at it again in earnest with their hell weapons you told me about."

"I have a feeling that the Alliance Armada that Probe told us about above," Fred says, pointing a single clawed finger up towards the heavans. "Would have a bit to say before the Enemy got close enough to scorch Terra again. I might not be totally happy about the Golems being about, but I get a feeling that without them......we'd be in REAL trouble from the Lizards!"

"Tell me about it," the silver furred manwolf grimaces. "I did tell you about what that magical examination of that one Lizard body we still have in that.....cryo-unit thing back in the Mayor's Residencia turned up in it's stomach."

"Human tissue and bone," Alica said, with the fur on the back of her neck standing up on end. "That's what Probe told us humans were to the Enemy.....something to use as cattle."

"Better the Golems than the Lizards by a long shot," Fred nods. "And I somehow get the feeling that our mechanical friend was well nigh sincere in his statements that the Alliance would compensate Terra for the mining rights of the Tiberium. I also got a feeling he hated having to deliver what amounted to blackmail from his superiors that told that if we didn't......the city of Atlantis would be truly lost."

"I doubt that they'll do it now," Fred continues. "Blow the dome, considering that it's now well known to them that the only way to save Terra....and their precious tiberium, is to protect Atlantis at all costs."

"All too true, dear husband," Alicia whispers as she leans closer and her tail wraps around Fred's in a tender embrace. "But for now, we must work together with them if Terra is to survive....if our children are to ever see the light of day."

"I just hope that when the war between the Alliance and the Enemy is over," Loam says as they resume walking. "I hope that Terra won't be swept away in all the changes that will befall her when this....Company comes around to take over operations.....if the Military let's them." Somehow all three of them doubted that the Military wanted that to happen......

  1. Later, after the business of Pack Leader and Head of the Fox Clan permit it.....a pair of man sized foxes are chasing each other through the jungle...then....unease......
