For some to get over such tragedy would have taken a long, long time.
For HER it was something she would NEVER forget. To wallow in self pity was NOT her style.
She would grieve in her own way, in her own time.
Nathan had taken a Zimp, to an outpost on Caltheras. Isolated, no one around as he moved to open the hatch. He watched her, as she climbed in. Hurriedly pulled him towards her on the recline.
The sense of loss so deep even Nathan, could not feel anything but the same mix of emotions.
Truth was, not even Nathan, could have brought himself to torch the planet like that.
OK she was a Psycho BUT, there were plenty of them around. Isabellani had a peculiar charm about her. He was no simp but he always felt protective towards her. The closeness from the past they had shared.
Secrets, ah yes; secrets. It was not somethng others should be privy to.
Different worlds, different races and if the Jogarth had suffered, she had in HER PAST inflicted terrifying death and destruction on others.
Equal to what had just happened ?
The truth was too revealing how it might actually be worse.
It would be, some time later, that they stirred. Refresh, cleanse and now eat and drink; refreshments. Nathan looked at her as she sipped on a Frubu wash.
“So what will you do now?” “Thanks to you, you have helped recharge me, the way others would never believe YOU ever could. All of my senses, my thoughts, my desires; YOU have helped balance within me.”
She shifted closer to him. “YOU, will be here, when I get back from where I am headed.
I WILL return my lover, stronger and wiser, more powerful than ever for YOU, to take YOUR place as my Emperor.
NOW I must leave. It is not good for YOU, to be absent for much longer, it will raise suspicions and, those around Cistera are powerful beings.
THEY must continue, to believe, we, have never, never shared intimacy, a recline or pledged our love to each lover. They will kill you, IF it is discovered, we have that connection.
THAT, after all I have already lost, I cannot allow to happen.”
With that she left. Somehow he knew, she was in a good place, body, mind and soul.
That comforted him. He found solace in the knowledge she was OK.
NOW as she had said, it was NOT good for him to be away too long.
Isabellani had plans and those plans would see her revenge. First she had to take a detour.
A mission to seek for something ? No one would know where the the Inferno had gone.
That would leave her enemies wondering WHERE she had gone, why things had gone quiet in that part of the galaxy? Never knowing where or when she would strike back at them?
It would be for some, a long time, before they would meet again. For some, NEVER long enough. For Nathan? He would get anonymous messages from her that only HE could read.
IN the deepest darkest expanses of space, the places no one with any reason, any sense would got to?
A force of such power it would dare to challenge even the power of the Gods.
Ah yes.. they called themselves ‘The Sanctified.’ Some would make the Matsupa proud..
