  Prologue

  Dictator grumbled from being waked up from sleep by a hand shaking his shoulder. He opened his Human like golden eyes to glare at Brianna shaking him awake. He found sunlight glaring through the eater's hole from above.

  Dictator glared in response as Brianna spoke "I'm going to Nikolas and the offsprings to tell them more adventures of the Drainers or Skyans as their referred. They seemed to like me telling them that tale despite Torrin not protesting to it."

  He didn't comment a response shut his eyes ignoring Brianna sensed getting up and walking out. A roar of a Drainer sounded loudly from outside the hut making him annoyed to be woken up again. He got up with disgust running through him and without a word walked out of the hut to meet Torrin seated on a log with arms folded who got up in a fast speed move blocking his way.

  He snarled "Get out of my way Torrin."

  Torrin spoke "You owe me a story for handling Nikolas being touchy onto Brianna, the other night so talk on it now!"

  Dictator glared at Torrin while thrusting out his sword weapon hidden in his arm via sleeve.

  He found Torrin in response snarling "Nikolas tasted yucky when I fed off of him. Besides Edenia made it clear I'm to forget doing that Drainer behavior onto manoids and demand manoids to tell stories to me. It's some kind of nourishment along with sleeping for renewal of strength. So tell me a story since Nikolas appears to have learned his lesson for not touching Brianna by how far he's sitting away from her."

  Dictator saw Torrin pointed in a direction he spotted Nikolas seated opposite from Brianna on another log and looked like he was sulking angry to him while appearing to be listening to her telling her tale. Dictator thrust back his sword and went to sit down on a log finding Torrin had joined him which he spoke his story he recalling it fully in his mind multiple points of views of his species dubbed Zeskaya.

  Tale of the Zeskaya

  Leader who with people is trapped in a cave is contacted by Merra telling them about the planetary world their trapped in is called Terrania and telling them to be patient that they’ll be free. Leader gets impatient while Zeskaya argue on what name to call their species. Leader orders Zeskaya to attack the walls with their swords. Zeskaya obey as he sees some fighting each other with their swords and fists not really hurting each other. Cave rumbles jerking Zeskayas to fall to the ground as part of the cave wall cracks open forming a hole from an object that burst through then withdraws as water spills into the cave. Leader first to get up orders his people to stand fast. He goes to the hole peering through it in the water to see the massive cruise ship sink hitting the ocean floor with dirt spraying up. Leader speaks asking Merra what’s the name of the ship. Merra heard by all says “Zeskaya” which Leader says that the argument and fighting on what name to call their species ends by declaring their name Zeskaya. Leader hears Merra talking to the Zeskaya and himself insisting they go in the ship and enter it adding that there are doorways in it that they can use to leave to places. Leader hears Merra tells them about Anya herself which Merra adds that Anya told her that there’s a way of accessing the information to the ship by creating a Zeskaya using a piece of a dead Human named Andrew Kossman. Leader orders people to follow Merra’s instructions who tell them that which they do which are to get a large sample of Kossman’s hair. Leader swims out followed by Zeskaya enters the ship guided by Merra walks a maze of hallways and stairwells reaches the tube room entering it to open the tube showing the Human Andrew Kossman lying inside. Leader watches as his companions open a tube take out an axe weapon and bring it down on the tube Kossman is in forming a hole. Leader flicks out sword and grabs a handful of Kossman’s hair cutting it off. He hears Merra telling them to create the figure. Leader again guided by Merra goes to the vertical tube room to a tube lying on its side. He hands hair to companion and flicks out sword to grip with his bare hand causing him to bleed which he uses blood to sprinkle the hair with which is put in the tube. Then the tube goes vertical filling with dark liquid that becomes dark as night. Leader gets bored looks explores the vertical tube room sees tube with an organ with wires attached to it in it. He hears Merra say that the organ is Anya whom he takes off his mask to stare at then puts mask on his waist via belt. Companion alerts Leader that there is something seen in the tube which Leader walks to and sees the tube water clear up showing an adult Zeskaya with sword held in his left hand eyes closed. Tube becomes horizontal and an opening forms at the bottom as Kossman is thrust out.

  Kossman awakes to face the Zeskaya says his name is Kossman and mentions that the Sun Lord has fathered a son when he sees Leader’s face exactly like Alexei. Leader is disbelieving which Kossman keeps insisting but Leader says that there’s no way that his brother would mate with a Human using the words “Stinking Human”. Zeskaya bring Kossman to cafeteria room to eat food and a Zeskaya brings folder of Eric placing it in front of him. Kossman takes out picture and says it’s the son he has in his mind. Leader sees picture and exclaims it’s the Dictator which Kossman groans as he recalls there being a Sun Lord nicknamed Dictator who ruled with Rakcar like a dictator which the Zeskaya overthrown. Kossman recalls Dictator’s face was seen and he saying he’ll return before being executed. Leader gets angry demands information about Eric referring him as Dictator which Kossman recalls in his mind about a video file which Alexei took with his own hand he saw that Alexei refers Eric as his son. Kossman takes Leader to Alexei’s office shows the video which shows Alexei’s face that refers Eric as his son. Kossman asks question about how a Zeskaya could live among Humans undetected which Leader interrupts with comment as a Human. Kossman leaves Leader alone to visit Eric with help of Merra to his location which he sees Rakcar and Drainer talking to Eric wearing Sun Lord clothes which he waits till Rakcar leaves then reveals himself to Drainer who is shocked. He gets Eric to reveal his face as Drainer is shocked then gets Drainer to leave and then talks to Eric about his kind along with showing him scene with hands touching him.

  Kossman visits Alexei on Shadan who gives him a book which he drops off in Sun Lord’s quarters in Jiang’s presence then returns to the ship to an angry Leader who is annoyed about him leaving. Kossman mentions that Eric is ruler of this world called Terrania using title Sun Lord which Leader is not believing till they hear Merra sounding angry say Kossman is telling the truth. A Zeskaya arrive talking about the Sun Lord has been found on Shadan in a Human form and he has fathered a son who is not aware of his species heritage and wants to meet his son. Kossman is ordered by Leader to escort him to Eric whom they arrive in Eric’s quarters with Leader talking to them about his father wanting to meet him. Eric’s mate Niya gets Eric to go with them which they transport Eric to Shadan. Kossman keeps his mouth shut as he sees Alexei and hears no reaction from Leader seeing his brother. Eric he sees takes off mask walking towards Alexei who puts hand on his shoulder while putting hand on Eric’s forehead who jerks his head up. Kossman listens as Alexei says the Zeskaya chant words then removes his hand from Eric’s forehead to his shoulder. Kossman and Leader at Alexei’s order returns Eric to his world while going back to the cruise ship. Kossman hears Leader speak sounding angry that the High Council have insulted the Zeskaya by turning one of them into a Human and will die for this.

  Leader in the Zeskaya meeting room is pacing with the Seer watching him along wi
th Zeskaya there. Seer tells him to get some sleep if he’s bored for it’ll help with the boredom and help him keep his strength. Leader in a cranky tone tells Seer “Go to the depths!” which one of the Zeskaya tell Leader that he’s sounding like he’s nearing the end of his tank and needs fuel to replenish it. Leader in a cranky tone repeats the comment which Seer tells Leader to sit and sleep in a compelling voice tone which Leader finds himself going to a chair sitting next to the Seer and leaning back closing his eyes. He passes out only opens his eyes to see a female Rakcar’s face inches away from his covered face with a finger poking his arm. He keeps himself still as the female Rakcar looks towards the gated doors that are opening and darts around the chair. He sees a Zeskaya come out who pause from walking to wave a throwing ball gesture before turning around to walk into the gate. The female Rakcar he sees darts behind entering the gate which after doors are closed Zeskaya appear which Leader explodes blowing his temper yelling in a cranky tone that the Rakcar have breached their meeting spot and that female will blab it to
