The Flame

The Flame, 1 of 2 (page 71)      Shadow's heart races, choking her. Her chest vibrates with the force of the muscle. Palms sweaty, she grips her controls. Golden eyes trace every curve of the ship floating out in the abyss before her.      She can tell the eliksni has barked something along the lines of, "state your business."      Knowing her eliksni is rusty, she tries her luck with her own tongue. "I'm here to see Variks. My name is Shadow. He knows me." She pauses, eyes bright in the darkness of her ship. "I'm a-" her voice breaks. "A friend."      Suspicious muttering follows and concludes she's being listened to by multiple eliksni. She wonders if they're offended that she hadn't responded to them in their own tongue.      "I'm a friend," she splutters out desperately in butchered eliksni.      Glitch seems more nervous every passing second, his optic moving around frantically. It's all she can see of him, the rest of his black shell bleeding into the darkness. "Shadow..." he cautions.      She throws him a warning glance through narrowed eyes, but before she can respond she hears laughter. The awoken woman scowls, patiently waiting as the eliksni mock her feeble attempt.      "Please, let me see him. No one is here with me. You can search through and take everything I have." She leans forward, growing desperate. This immediately silences their grumbling. She flinches as one of them barks an order and the signal is cut. Shadow glances at her ghost, who looks back at her equally nervous and confused.      A hatch begins to open, large enough for her ship. Assuming this is where she is meant to go, she begins to turn in that direction; before she can move, some invisible force is pulling the spacecraft in.      "Are you sure about this...?" Glitch sounds as if he's about to burst a bulb.      "Yes." Her eyes are hard with determination. "And I want you to wait here," she adds, sending Glitch into a fit.      "Are you utterly insane?" he hisses, practically sparking.      She turns to him, amber eyes softening. "I may be willing to put myself in this situation. But I don't want you to have to deal with it too. Variks won't let them kill me. I'll be fine, but please. Protect yourself."      He hesitates. Seeing the sense in her words. "I don't like this."      She looks away. "I know."      The guardian takes in a shuddering breath, preparing to transmat out to whatever or whoever was waiting for her.      "Out, guardian." The sudden, sharp command startles her. Opening the door manually, she awkwardly jumps to the floor. Her dull green cloak flutters down behind her.      "Weapon."       Awoken and eliksni eyes lock together. Shadow is surprised to see the vandal that greets her adorned in wolf colors. He aims his gun at her, eyes narrowed in suspicion.      "Right, of course..." Raising her hands innocently, she slowly pulls the rifle off her back and places it on the floor. He grunts as she adds her other weapons to the pile; grenades, knives.      She straightens, shoulders back and meets his gaze. "My name is Shadow. I'm here to-"      "Follow," he barks, swiftly moving behind her and poking her between her shoulder blades with the muzzle of his gun.      "Alright, alright," she huffs, grudgingly allowing him to direct her deeper into the ship.       "May I ask your name?" she questions cautiously, examining the dark halls he leads her through. Their footsteps and the muffled echo of engines are the only sounds.      "From House Wolves. Now Judgement. Judgement last way, only way."      The hunter pauses, unsure how to answer. "Okay, Wolf."      He grunts.      She smiles.      "How do you know Variks?"      "Prison."      Turning to him, her eyes widen in surprise.      He meets her gaze unflinchingly. "You?"      Her heart flutters softly. She looks away. "Helping awoken. We worked together."      The vandal eyes her with a little more respect.      He walks beside her now, glancing at her every so often as she gazes around in wonder. It's strange, being inside an eliksni ship without raiding, killing. It feels good, it feels right.      The vandal finally comes to a stop at a closed door. Shadow swallows.      "Variks will meet you here."      The wolf disappears swiftly around the nearest corner without another word, as if he had better things to do, before she can thank him. She blinks fondly after him.      Shadow waits, glimmering skin and fiery eyes standing out against the ship's dim lights.      Would Variks even want to see her again? Surely he would recognize her? Panic sets in. He couldn't have forgotten her. What if he wanted nothing to do with her? He's a Kell now, he doesn't need guardian friends. Especially after the way they treated him. She winces inwardly. And an awoken, at that. Exactly what he was trying to get away from.      Shadow begins pacing in front of the door, hands wringing nervously in front of her.      Mind cartwheeling on itself, she turns over everything that might be about to happen. Would Variks look any different? What had he been doing here? Had he ever missed her? What should she ask him first? Would he speak first? What-      The door clicks; her amber eyes flick toward it as it snaps open.
