Chapter 59 Space pirates.
As she hurried home, she knew that something was wrong. The way Esong had looked up to the sky reminded her too much of the way her father had done the exact same thing when Esong's space ship was arriving on the Blue star. The lack of a shield and a barrier was really inconvenient because anybody could land their space ship on the Blue star as they pleased. It was a miracle that space pirates had not yet descended upon them.? Her biggest problem was that she could still not afford a good barrier or shield right now. The good ones started at fifty million star coins and went all they way to ten billion coins depending on how secure you wanted to be.
"You know," Severus told her, "That husband of yours would have made a very powerful grim reaper. Not just a grim reaper, he could easily qualify to be a gate keeper."
She looked at Severus and then she looked up. "Severus, what do you see when you look above in the clouds, my vision does not go so far."
"Souls" Severus answered, "A lot of souls in agony. That is why I am training you like a gate keeper and not an ordinary reaper. This world is filled with too many agonized souls that have failed to move on. You have barely done anything to alleviate the situation because you are still so weak. At night, I will give you one drop of my my blood for refinement. It will cause you immense pain but you have to endure it. You need to quickly become powerful or this world will soon be struck by a catastrophe. I can sense another reaper in this world but he is probably just as weak as you are."
It came to memory, she did recall the old deity saying something about another reaper on this world that was overwhelmed. Would she ever meet him?
"Apart from the souls, what else do you see, I am referring to space ships and humans."
"There is a fight above, it will end soon because your husband is just tearing through everything."
When she looked up, even with her reaper vision all she saw was a haze and smoke.? She sighed and dumped everything she had collected in the forest on the ground and and went into the house.
Her plan was to prepare some lunch for the children immediately. Whatever was going on in the sky would be handled by Esong. His friends were probably up there too, they were all mecha warriors after all.
To quicken the process, she took out three other rice cookers from her storage space and in all of them, she boiled rice. Then she took out three large sized packets of frozen meat balls, placed them in a microwave for defrosting.
She cooked up a quick meal of rice and meatballs in tomato soup. She steamed some baby spinach to be added to the meal.
Severus was the first to have his meal, a heap of rice and around ten meat balls filled his plate. He refused to eat the steamed vegetables.
She called Fey and asked her to gather all the children near the house and her mother helped her serve the food.
This little action of feeding all of the children and not just her son won the hearts of many of the citizens of the Blue star. It was not news that the governor's family fed on different foods and not just porridge. They also knew that she had very little of this food and she was mostly using it to promote the food they were growing. For her to take from her little supplies to feed the children for free without expecting anything in return, she had won their hearts completely.
While the children were eating, her father called her and asked her to report to the designated space ship parking area because there was an emergency. She? did not waste time thinking about what questions would be asked about how she acquired a car.
She had about twenty five cars in her storage space but only the jeep was fully fueled. She had only used it once because she was afraid it would be confiscated by others in the apocalypse but here, she had no such fear.
She drove her jeep to the parking area, ignoring all of the curious gazes of the citizens who were wondering how a car was available on the Blue star. Many of them also wondered why it looked different from the cars they had seen.
For one, it was noisier and it had large wheels. It was also overly big and box like in shape. Secondly, it was not flying and it had no outer wings on it's roof or doors like the flying cars did.
As she was approaching the parking area, she saw Esong forcing a few handcuffed people on to their knees. To the side where her father was, she could hear loud cries coming from a woman that was holding what appeared to be an injured child in her arms.
Close to the woman were other people that were trying to comfort her. Most of them looked to be disheveled and shaken as if they had just encountered a fierce ordeal.
Scarlet stopped the car and she stepped out.
"Dad," she called as she walked toward him.
Dorian heard his daughter's voice and he looked at the weird vehicle behind her and then at her. He raised an eyebrow in a questioning manner and she shrugged.
"What happened?" Scarlet asked him while her eyes observed the group of people close to him. It consisted of both males and females both adults and children.
"They were attacked by space pirates on their way here. I think we should rush the injured child to the med bed before it's too late but I do not have authority to permit them to go anywhere on the planet. Only you and your husband have that authority but as you can see he is busy."
She had seen Esong dealing with the criminals so she understood that he was truly busy. She looked at the child that was bleeding from the abdomen in his mother's arms and she felt pity for him.? If this was her brother..... she stopped herself from thinking about the past. If this was Justin, she thought instead, she would hope that he be helped immediately.
"We can take my car." she told the weeping woman. "Don't worry, he will be fine."
