~Chapter 2~
"Long ago, on a planet full of agriculture and frosted plains, stood a tribe of war and ruthless bravery."
The holo-projector showed a planet, with it's greens and browns swirled horizontally in the space hologram.
"Kalee." Vaati awed quietly.
Her mother continued, clicking the remote to show another hologram, but of the Kaleesh.
"They were half reptile; having four fingers, reddish-brown skin, and spikes coming from their skin. They all had golden eyes, either filled with hatred or merciless thoughts. Though a few of these tribesman had a different expression in their golden eyes. In those few stood a warrior named Qymaen jai Sheelal."
Vaati listened intently, though she was drifting to sleep. She stopped herself, and kept listening. The holograms had changed without her knowing, into holographs of the battles Qymaen jai Sheelal had fought.
"Qymaen jai Sheelal became a warlord in his later years, after great turmoil and long travels. He was thought to be a demi-god by his people because he was raged, killing many great beasts and enemies."
Vaati blinked. That name sounded familiar to her, even though she heard the story many times. /It's like I knew the name before I ever heard the story./ Vaati thought. Vaati's eyelids became droopy though, so her mother stopped. Her mother picked up Vaati in her arms and walked out of the room, heading upstairs into Vaati's bedroom. She set Vaati on her bed and kissed her forehead.
"Good night." her mother said softly. She was about to leave when Vaati grasped her wrist-sleeve.
"Mom..." Vaati said sleepily.
"Yes dear, I'm right here."
"When will you tell me who my father is..?"
"When you are ready to know." her mother answered simply. Her mother lightly stroked Vaati's forehead. "Now go to sleep, I'll wake you in the morning."
"M'k.." Vaati moaned, drifting off to sleep as her mother left the room.
