abc private thoughts from a human

Ryo-ohki * thoughts

To much carrot cake

Tenchi woke from his slumber

But the drowsing voice of his Prime, which had sent him to slumber in the first time, continued undisturbed: "The rebels has retreated from sector 74/2-03, Jurai standard time. This means that admiral Ryoki can advance and destroy the rebels supply, thereby ending this infection of rebels against our high lord Tenchi rightful rule of this part of the galaxy".

How boring. Rightful rule. The only rule which matter is the rule of power. Such trappings and ornaments we give to live with the power to kill.

"And which teams are my prime then suggestion, that we give these rebels, Lady Ayeka"

The princess turned "My high Lord Tenchi, if you will allow me to continue" Her anger by being interrupted showing in the frustrating movements of her pretty hands. Well, so pretty, he would have to administrate some Jurai discipline later to her. At least that could entertain him until Ryoki returned.

"In accordance with the merciful will of the goddess, I have offered any surviving rebels the right to return to their home if they surrender they arms and swear not to carry arms for one year and one day against your august 

"Hmm Very good prime. See to that their transport to home get lost in a black hole. My will be done".

Tenchi left his startled administrators. Once again they thought that might was a question about dealing honourably with ones enemies. Ayeka would try to get him change decisions. Maybe he would, Ayeka needed all the good press about how she defended the proud traditions of Jurai against the earthlings who had taken Jurai by its throat and rammed the truth of its traditions down it by his sword.

Words to please, words to tell people thought they could understand and accept, accept his rule

Tenchi entered the private part of the palace. The bones of his dead enemies on the floor and their battle thorn flags on the walls. A ruler should not forget on what power was built. He needed some action to get his blood flowering again. Now that Ryoki had dealt with the rebel problem it was time for him to once more join the fleet. The teaching of the goddess should not be forgotten.

Ayeka entered his room. She had learned to ignore the sound her small elegant shoes made on the floor.

"Yes, Ayeka I know what you want, and you will get it, but first tomorrow".

"But my lord Tenchi"


"Silence Ayeka, now my loyal administrators will spread the rumours. Tomorrow you will change reality and make them feel well ".

"So this was another of your manipulations, I newer know when you are serious or …"

Tenchi mowed his head in disbelieve "Ayeka, if you did know, you would not act as needed, and I would be forced to act more effective. This will upheld you as the defender of the proud traditions of Jurai."

"But why? "

She always needed to understand him. Its irritated him. Once he had liked her, maybe loved her. Now, now she was another useful political symbol of his power, oh and not to forget a warm body in the nights.

"My dear. You were trained to rule from the day you were born. You know the value of words. Of words to please, words to tell people so they think they can understand and accept, accept their submitting to my rule". Tenchi suddenly pulled his sword out and pointed it under her throat "My will be done". 

"Your will be done, my lord Tenchi".

And the stars dropped one by one into the iron fist of Il Principal.

"GET OF MY CHEST RYOKO".

Tenchi looked into the eyes of Ryo-ohki:  "Oh its you Ryo-ohki. Sorry I screamed of you, but when my chest gets heavy it is normally because of Ryoko".

Tenhci looked around him. He must have dosed of after the work and eating the lunch box made by Sasami under the tree. The carrot cake has been especially good, and there was still some left: "And you didn't eat all the cake, when I was asleep, that was nice of you".

Ryo-ohki looked on the boy. * I would have eaten it, but your dream stopped me from doing it. This is the second time today you have been caught in a loop. The trees are a bit too active just now. Someone is going to lose some roots tonight *.

Ryo-ohki flashed his teeth's at the tree they were sitting under. Leafs fell from the tree out of season.   

*But why today, its like Destiny is trying to force something today *.

On the other side of the carrot fields two shadows came running down the path from the mountains, screaming.
