Chapter 7
In a place far away, an eternal being awoke from his long slumber.
He groaned, aching all over and yet feeling no pain at all.
Then, he remembered everything. From the beginning.
Who was he? Hmm... ah yes, he referred to himself as Ellimist. Long ago he had a different name. Long ago, when he was a mortal who played dangerous games.
His old name was irrevelant. His original species was long gone. His planet destroyed. As if it were just another obstacle in a game...
Oh yes, he was still playing. He was playing against someone... who? Hard to remember. Oh wait, he was playing against Crayak.
He was immortal too.
But... was the game over? He vaguely remembered the Blade Ship. It had been destroyed. Had that meant the end? Had he won?
The Animorphs had been his pawns... had the Blade Ship been Crayak's king? Was it check and mate? There was no way of telling.
Why had he been awoken? That he did not know. Perhaps he had been dreaming, and something in his dream woke him up. But he did not recall dreaming. He was sure that his sleep had been dreamless.
Maybe something important was happening? The Yeerks...? But how?
For now he assumed that he had awoken naturally. 'No point in getting all excited if it's nothing,' he told himself.
He reached out with his mind, but it felt as if his whole body was stretching. He felt the universe around him. Each star and planet he sensed. Each living organism on each planet he sensed. He felt the AK solar system.
Felt the human planet within it. Sensed the immense amount of morphing power within it. Then, he felt something else.
He sensed the immense amount of Yeerks infesting the planet.
'So, the game is not over yet,' he thought.
Then, he did something he had not done for a very long time. He created a creature. An Andalite. He placed a part of him inside of the Andalite -- anything the Andalite did, anything it heard, anything it saw... the Ellimist would know.
The Ellimist was refreshed from his rest, and his mind racing now with ideas to stop Crayak.
He sent the Andalite to AK-6. The human planet. The human planet which was slowly turning into a Yeerk planet.
The Ellimist named the Andalite "Elfangor-Aximili-Jakobus" after three of his favorite game pieces. Three of the most important game pieces.
The Andalite was transported to AK-6.
**Yup, yup, sorry this was so short, but this was actually a very important chapter and is the key to getting that Yeerk out of poor Ty's head... well, do I wanna take that Yeerk out yet? We'll see... next chapter will hopefully be Ty's POV**
