Chapter 1
He scratches the left side of his head as he studies the paper book seated before him. "Do I have to? I mean, it's not like I really need to marry my own species to have children, not when Common Form can easily create a hybrid between me and the one I wish to marry. Besides, it's a backward world that hasn't even landed on their moon!" He complains to his father, Ja Nectic owner of Flex Transports.
"Cyrus has a point, dad. I don't know about you, but I get lonely when he's not on the same space station as me!" His spirit twin, Ciro Nectic says. Ja sighs. (Think he'll cave?) He asks Ciro. (Don't know, he seems to have made up his mind on this.) Ciro replies and he couldn't help but agree as he watches his father go into his classic 'this will be done and that's that' pose. "Does mom know about this?" He asks and his father answers, "Of course she knows. She's the one kept making subtle points about you not knowing anything about your birth parents, let alone about your race."
He blinks in surprise, he hadn't expected mom to be in on this. From the corner of his eye, Ciro also looks surprised about this turn of events. "And before you asks if your elder siblings know, I've told Burke and he broke it to the others." Their father says and he asks, "Ok, but who'll take care of Roan? There's not too many beings willing to take care of a Dexraus, even a well behaved runt like Roan."
He notices a slight widening of his father's eyes, meaning that Ja hadn't thought about someone taking care of Roan. "I'm sure Ciro will manage some how." His spirit brother looks alert at this possibility. "Or Cyrus could, you know, take Roan with him." Ciro says in distress. "Nonsense, you taking care of Roan will ease your worry for Cyrus. Now if you excuse me, I got to review some alarming reports about space pirates." Ja says, Ciro and him watch as the elder Raylevain exits out of the room, leaving them alone together.
(Great, you're leaving for a pre-contact civilization and I get to take care you your pet Dexraus. I just know that Ruzgar's going to be having a load of laughs watching 'walking' Roan.) Ciro thinks sourly. (Roan isn't that bad, he's just really, really energetic.) He says in Roan's defence. Ciro gives him a blank look; he sighs and returns to looking at the stack of paper books, leaving him wonders why it couldn't on disc form…

Raylevains are a warm blooded reptilian race known for their belief in spirit twins. Raylevains often stand around six and a half feet in height and that's not including the horns or antlers that some Raylevains like to have genetically engineered to their genome, they're well known for their use of genetic alterations for cosmetic purposes. Typically, a Raylevain's skin is a shade of brown with scale like markings decorating their backs, these decorations were usual red, blue, green, and in the off chance, white. Natural eye colour for Raylevain consists of five colours which are green, yellow, purple, white, and blue. Any Raylevain that have hair are those that underwent genetic grafting since hair/fur isn't something Raylevain are born with or are capable of growing since their ancestors lost this trait sometime during the time they began to build empires.
A note on spirit siblings, since Raylevains usual have twins or even triplets, it's highly unusual for single births to occur, but when they do, they begin to look for the child's spirit twin among other sentient races; they usual use the thought patterns of the babe in order to find the perfect match. More often then not, the 'twin' of the baby Raylevain continues to live with their parents unless the babe is an orphan, then they usual adopts the child into their family, raising them as their own.
This is what happened in Cyrus's case since from careful observations, they determined that Cyrus was an orphan and they were also highly dismayed at Cyrus's treatment so they had 'rescued' a six month year old human when the boy's 'caretaker' left the child in a forest, clearly trying to abandon him and hope that some wild beast kills him as well.

His ship alerts him when he arrives in orbit above the world of his birth. He had attempted to sleep through it but since it was a gift from one of his elder sisters, Hadria if he remembers correctly, it only got more and more annoying. As it begins on a highly offensive and dirty ditty, he manages to slam the off button with his fist. He scowls at the device; he watches as the tray it was on fold up and vanishes into the wall, he then yawns as he gets out of his bed.
He heads straight to the bathroom so he can have a shower. Soon enough, he's going through his cloth, picking out what could be considered local apparel, a simple grey shirt with blue design with diamond marks on back, mimicking the natural decorations that are usual for Raylevains and a pair of black pants. He's also wearing a pair of sandals in the style of his birth world.
Once that's done, he heads to bridge of the ship. He sighs as he slides into the chair so he can go through the read outs that were waiting for him to go through. Most of it had to do with upcoming weather and local volcanic readings. Once the satellites were in place, he began to lock the coordinates what should be his birth place.
He heads off to eat breakfast as he waits to review the radio transmissions that the satellites were busy locating. He also does his home work, despite leaving civilized space to come here; he still has to keep up with his studies. It'll be about six months before he'll have to head off to the closest space station in order to hand it in and to pick up the next course as well. It also means that he'll have to make do with what he has until then, which means if he forgot to pack something, he'll have to make do without it until that trip six months from now.
He flicks a strain of blond hair from his face as he continues to read from the data plate, focusing on the words on the plate. He frowns slightly and makes a few corrections to his answer before turning the data plate off. He glances at the clock and gets up out of his chair. He cleans up after his meal and puts the data plate into the pack once more before picking up the pack and heading back to the main bridge.
Once he's done going through the radio transmissions, which were on a local frequency which made it slightly difficult for the satellites to pick them up. He snorts, disbelieving the fact that they haven't done anything more with the radio technology. 'They haven't even set up radio towers nor have they made much use of the television from what the satellites say. By Haben's tail, these people are idiots.' He thinks to himself as he shakes his head, the windows close and he brings up the planet on the main screen.
It's true that from the read outs, this world still retained it's wild places, but easy to believe considering the low population levels of the dominate life form, Humans if he recalls from his studies. He feels kind of alone, almost as if he's being punished for being born to a low level civilization that's not even close to being ready for contact.
(You're never alone, Cyrus. I'm always a thought away.) His twin says, he smiles on hearing Ciro. (So you are, so you are. It's just so odd to know you're half a galaxy away is all.) He replies and he can practically feel Ciro nod in agreement before Ciro breaks the connection. Feeling better about everything, he begins look for a site to touch down on.
Before he opens a light gate that will teleport him to the planet's surface, he remembers to take a computer uplink just in case something happens. "Here it goes, let's just hope the locals are friendly." He mutters to himself as he stands before the shimmering pool of energy.
Once he's through, the portal made of shimmering energy closes up behind him as he glances around the forested area he decided will be his arriving point. Once he's satisfied about where he is, he heads off in the direction of the closest settlement. Soon enough, he finds a road and begins to follow it, all the while attempting to control his emotions since they're all in a jumble since he took his first steps on this world's surface. 'This had better be worth it…' He thinks darkly as he comes within sight of the outside walls.
