Thread: All Hail the High Queen! (FoxWriter/Uminator)

Having Aaron here, hearing his words of support...it helped Cleo so much with all of this...all this news...all these changes. And yet this was merely the tip of the iceberg. If all of this was true then...then she was an alien, not only that but she was to become the queen of some vast Empire....ruling over planet after planet. And her mother....her birth mother...the way that they were all talking about her, as if she were some kind of saint or goddess. Had she really been that amazing? It was hard to believe otherwise with everything being said....assuming of course that it really was true. Natalia did seem slightly comforted to hear that Freeya had gone down fighting, that her assassins had been all but wiped out. It was a testament to Freeya's strength, an aspect that the assassins had clearly underestimated. Someone so sweet and kind....who could have expected her to be such a warrior? Still, Natalia couldn't help but hope that the final surviving assassin had been made to suffer for his crime, that he regretted ever being involved in such a thing. And....all of the others....killed too? The High King? His other wives? All his husbands? All of them... Natalia shook her head, she knew the answer to that already. Cleo really was the last, the very last of the royal bloodline, the only hope it had of survival, the only hope the empire had. The war must have been terrible...to have dragged on for so long all these years. She got the feeling that Neema and Drixel had more to tell, though they were likely holding back from the worst of it for the sake of Cleo and Aaron. This was hard enough without going into the grizzly details of the outcome of a galaxy spanning war. Well...Aaron does have a point Cleo spoke up as Aaron mentioned the data potentially being a fake. What if it was? Then again, Natalia seemed to believe them...but what if she was just being fooled? What if she had been lied to all that time ago as well? They needed more proof than this, something that couldn't be faked. It seemed Neema was only too happy to provide that proof though. Cleo gasped as she saw the womans clothes bulge for a second, then practically explode in every direction, showering the room with tiny pieces of fabric. Cleo stared, wide eyed and open mouthed. Yeah, that would do the trick alright. That was something rather more difficult to fake in real life like this. The womans body had changed completely, she looked like violent death incarnate. When she heard Aaron struggling though, her attention was immediately brought back to him. A-Aaron! She quickly moved to help him, though Natalia had moved in sooner, working quickly to start getting his breathing back under control. Fortunately, this would be the very last time he would have to deal with this....never again would she allow him to suffer like this. Both women let out a sigh of relief when Aaron calmed down and got his breathing back under control, Cleo stroking his head gently, squeezing his hand. That's it...just stay calm, you're ok Aaron...you're gonna be just fine ok? Natalia looked up as Neema spoke, then slowly stood. Aaron has a medical condition known as Asthma...it's a fairly common breathing difficulty amongst humans, though Aaron has a particularly severe case. It seems the shock from seeing you triggered something of an attack from the condition. Though that's something I finally intend to correct... Natalia turned to head for the closet, pulling out her medical kit, her alien medical kit that she reserved normally for Cleo or Aaron's external injuries. All this time she'd had the ability to cure his Asthma but had been unable to do so. No more. Aaron, I want you to relax... Natalia knelt down beside him, pulling a small device from the kit. Now I know you've suffered with this for long enough....but what I have here....this can correct the problems in your lungs, make you healthy. I'm sorry for not using it before but....I'm sure you can understand why I didn't before...I had to keep the secret...but this is up to you She held up the device and smiled gently, ready to use it, but only if he agreed.
