Not everyone can be patient...

..that's almost a given with the Clans. The challenge to the Snow Ravens came from Clan Cloud Cobra, and so, Giao had to teach them all a lesson.
There are other secrets, older secrets, things you don't bring to the surface of a living world.
Every bargain made must be honored, and sometimes you hold a contract over generations.
The Snow Raven troops did their best, but against a cluster of the Ka'an, they failed, and she was taken once again into the black as a prisoner.
"What is this?" the New clan captor demanded, holding up her pendant.
"Free Stars." she said. Her move was lightning fast, "We're going to jump, aren't we?"
"That is going to happen, Aff."
"Do you truly believe in Allah?" she asked him, "You wear the symbol of the god of islam. do you truly believe in the word of the Prophet?"
"You are familiar with the word of the prophet?"
"I know more about it than most." she said quietly. The jump alarm sounded on the Clan transport.
"Then we should definitely speak later..."
She sneered, "Adao arwah alghedheb. herrouni minn hudha al-asra adao elly al-taqed ma mutammard al-akbar sennag adhrabawa adai vahrroni!!"
As the drive activated, something went horribly wrong.
Giao heard only the chorus, for her captors, there was only the howl of hyperspace and chaos.
For generations, her family had left the last of that contract unclaimed.
The fulfillment requires a sacrifice, and Giao was ready to go. Unfortunately for the Cloud Cobra warriors on that carrier, they were not.
