Yaut'jara Time

(This is my calculation of Yaut'jara time. Only a guess.)

1 hour-80 minutes

1 day-21 hours

1 week-10 days

1 month-60 days

1 year-60 months

1 Yaut'jara year-10 Human years

Author's Note: This is the time table I'm working with. I hope it will help ya'll when you get further into the story. Also Yaut'jara years are called seasons. SorryI got the year equivalent wrong. Here it is revised.I will put up more soon.


Ch. 9- Deeper Look

At lunch time Yeyinde, Scar, and Celtic came in. The room was empty except for the clothes around the crate. They got worried as they called for them. The Celtic saw the crate jiggle a little as soft snickers came from it. He pointed to it. Then he walked over quietly.

"Come on, guys, let's put this back in storage!" he called.

"No!" three cried, pooping from the box. The lid flew. Celtic began to laugh.

"What are you three doing in there?" asked Scar.

"Better question; How'd all three of you fit in there?" asked Yeyinde surveying the box. He noticed the mad look on their faces. "Oh, it's cuz you girls are just so skinny!" he said laughing nervously.

"Wrong answer!" said Celtic as the three seemed to get even madder.

"Did you all find something to wear?" asked Scar.

Ah-uh." they replied.

We put them in the bathroom, along with everything else we'll need." said Jaslene getting out.

"Well, then," said Celtic, "let's clean this mess up and go eat."

They quickly put everything back in the crate and went to lunch. The girls were chatting up a storm as they entered the dinning room. They took the same seats they had the night before, but the three leaned across the table lively talking to each other and laughing. Kec'than sat there looking angry and annoyed.

"I prefered the silence." he stated.

"Well, who asked you?!" snapped Lex.

"Yeah!" snapped Jaslene and Hannah. The other Yautjas watched in amusement. Kec'than was no match for all three girls together. He sensed this and quickly left the table. They snickered as he left the room. Wolf watch Hannah intently. He was warming up to the idea of her as his daughter-in-law. Elder joined in their conversation making them laugh hysterically often.

"I see where Celtic gets his sence of humor." said Hannah.

"Yes, and Scar gets his seriousness from his mother." said Elder. "Oh, but I loved that woman."

"So what happen to her?" Lex asked. Everything seemed to go quiet.

"She passed away." Elder rplied after a moment. "It was after she gave birth to Celtic. Nothing could be done to save her."

"Except she could have aborted him early on." said Wolf coldly.

"That's an awful thing to say!" snapped Jaslene standing up.

"The fact is, it's true." said Elder gently pulling her back in her seat. "She wasn't very young when we had Scar and Celtic. She knew the risks. She made her choice."

"She made a wonderful choice." said Jaslene. The five Yautjas looked at her in shock. She looked at them in return. "I mean to say, she gave her life for a new life. If she hadn't whose to say what would be. Celtic told me he dreamed you were going to die Scar, and you almost did. So you and Lex wouldn't be here together if it weren't for him. I'd still be on Earth searching the world for that person that completes me, never knowing how sweet life could be. And Father, you'd be son less, and I wouldn't be here calling you father." Elder looked like he was about to cry as he took her hand.

"Thank you, Jaslene." he said. "It is true, Hestia made a wonderful choice. The years I had with her will always be precious to me, but as will be the years with you, Celtic, Lex, and Scar, and my numerous grandchildren you all will give me."

"Hey we discussed this, only two!" she said.

"Oh, by the gods, how you remind me of her." he replied. She sat there stunned.

"Thank you." she said after a minute.

"Oh, Jaslene, said Hannah tearing up, "you speak so beautifully. It's as if you know how it feels."

"I do." said Jaslene. "My mother was faced with the same choice, though she was very fortunate to survive. As fate would have it, my father was killed when I was only five years old."

"That's so sad." she said. "I don't mean to press the subject, but how?"

"We were living in the city at the time." Jaslene went on. "My mother was hell bent on making it without the help of my grandfather. My father was a struggling artist. Try feeding a family of four on that kind of income. So he took odd jobs. One was repainting schools on a shady side of town. One day he didn't come home. A couple of days later, his body was found in a dumpster with a bullet whole in his head. His wallet was completely emptied. They never caught the person. After that my grandfather stepped in. He moved us out to the country. My brother, Austin, and I were sent to a highly recommended private school. We was in all the programs we wanted to be in, had every opportunity to be anything. While my brother began to persue being a lawyer, I decided to become the artist my father wanted to be. By the time I was 17 I had a painting featured in a museum. I wrote at movie script at 19. And I was almost done with my novel I'd been working on for six years." They all were still listening. Celtic put his hand on hers gently.

"You can finish the story for me. I'll read it." he said. "Once it's translated, that is."

"I will finish it." she stated. "Then you can be the first to read it."

"What's it about?" asked Wolf.

"A kingdom named Memoria. It's based on the mid-evil times of Earth. It has mystical creatures like Elves, Hobbits, Dwarves, and Vampires."

"And humans?" Hannah asked.

"Yes. Memoria is actually the human kingdom. I have the sequel partly written as well."

"Really?" said Hannah. "Oh, the story sounds awesome!"

There was a moment of silence, then Hannah began to cry. Yeyinde frantically looked from her to everyone else. Lex rubbed her on the back.

"What's wrong, Hannah?" Lex asked.

"This is just so bitter sweet." she sobbed. "Jaslene lost her family. I lost my family. You lost your family, but here we are. We're getting affirmed to Yautjas that will actually make us family." Jaslene got up and walked over to her. She threw her arms open.

"Come here." she said sweetly. Hannah stood up and hugged Jaslene, who noticed Lex sitting there left out. Jaslene motioned to her to join the hug. She jumped up and was embraced by Hannah and Jaslene. After a moment Celtic came over and hugged all three of them.

"Alright guys!" he called. "I got um, now let's go skin um!"

"Ah!" the three cried pushing away from him. He stood there laughing as they fell on their butts.

"Men," whispered Elder, "we are death com 2! I repeat death com 2!" He looked at Hannah, then he looked at Lex. All of a sudden he looked at Jaslene. "Make that three."

The guys tried to understand as the girls got up and began to leave, and it was all very clear when they smelled the fresh blood from the three.

"Yeyinde, my son," said Wolf, "at less this one won't kill you." He stood up and patted his back.

Suddenly over the intercom a voice said, "Landing on the Yaut'jara palace dock."
