Chapter14:

Blackfire's Meaning

After the initial shock the two girls realized that they are not in danger.A tamaranian soldier bowed to Starfire.

''We came as soon as we found out that the tainted one escaped from the prison,Empress.Your friends are on the other ship.'' He said,bowed again and returned to his post.

''I hope they are ok friend Raven.'' Starfire said to Raven.Raven just smiled faintly and closed her eyes.It was bad.Very bad.

Beast Boy watched it horror as the doctor operated his leader.A needle was in his arm,drawing blood to keep the boy wonder alive.He closed his eyes and started to pray.Luckily,Cyborg wasn't dead.His biological parts were intact.

The ships were going to Tamaran.

''Fuck!'' Ensis cursed while checking the ships sensors.

''What is it?Can we catch them?'' Blackfire asked with fury.

''No…their engines are way better then mine.They are over 50 faster.We lost them.'' He screamed in anger.He missed his Raven.

''So…what now.Should we proceed?'' Blackfire asked with a soft voice.She managed to control her anger.

''Yes.Call your people.'' Ensis turned and went to his room.The ship was flying on it's own…towards the last place anyone would look for them.The damned planet,the planet where his armys eagerly awaited commands.Imparus.

''Yes.I'm sending the coordinates now.Be there within a day.And send me my guards!Blackfire out!'' She sighted and started daydreaming.Ensis and her will be at Imparus in about four days,but she wanted to test her followers.Will they be able to get along with Hyperboreans?

Ensis didn't think,he was sleeping.Like Blackfire he also expected someone to come.He called Lemmi.

A day later

Blackfire was excited.A small ship docked and left her with two tamaranian girls.Her guards.They were pretty,redheaded things.Nevertheless their strength was unquestionable.Unlike other Tamaranians,the girls were dressed mostly in black like herself.She recognized them as a part of a religious cult that was supporting her since the day she was born.Blackfire wasn't really religious in any form but she grew fond of the Stalakty cult.They worshipped the Dark Gods and had a point of view that resembled her own.The cult wasn't outlawed but it was despised and hated by the majority of Tamaranians.In some strange way it reminded them of Blackfire.

Ensis didn't take much notice of them.Like all aristocrats he followed the rule of neglecting the guards of another aristocrat.Blackfire did the same when a few hours later another ship docked.Two members of the Imperial Guard now followed Ensis like puppies around the ship and during his meeting with Lemmi.Blackfire and Lemmi actually started to chit-chat after being formaly introduced.The little girl was only ten years old,but she had so much power and influence that even Ensis would have to fear her if she turned against him.Lemmi was the High Priestess of Hyperborea.Her bloodlines were so pure that you could follow them to the beginnings of Hyperborean culture,full 22 589 generations.She was dressed all in black,invoking Mother's power.Many claimed she could see into the future and read people's thoughts.She had a melodic voice.

''My Emperor,You give me honor by excepting me into Your ship.I am at Your service.'' She spoke and looked him directly in the eyes.It was a rude gesture.Ensis felt like a bug under a microscope.It wasn't nice.

''No,it gives me great pleasure to see you here,Lemmi.'' Ensis said her name with a subtle threat.Blackfire knew something was wrong.

''I have heard much about the Emperors swordplay…is the Emperor in a mood for a friendly fight?'' Lemmi asked with a trace of mockery.Ensis couldn't say no to such a challenge.

They moved to the gym,followed by Blackfire and her two shields.Ensis took off his war suit and Lemmi removed her black clothing.It left her in a short white dress that was almost completely transparent.She was naked underneath,and Ensis grew even more suspicious.She wanted to draw his attention to things that might cost him his life.And the dress was white.White is the color of death,widely avoided by Hyperboreans.

''Attack when ready.'' Ensis said and ignited his light saber.Purple light shined.Lemmi smiled and spinned her saber in her hand.Ensis felt disgust.Not because that was his signature move,but because the saber was white.It seemed that the girl is obssessed with death in a unhealthy manner.

She screamed and attacked.The sabers hissed through the air but no one gained the upper hand in the first attack.Lemmi wasn't strong,but she was small,fast and flexible.The fight continued with furious attacks from both nobles but it was obvious that Ensis will win.With elegance,he scratched her arm.A thrickle of blood stained her dress.

''The fight is over.First blood was spilled and sacrificed to Mother.You fought well,Lemmi.'' Ensis said and relaxed.The saber turned off.

'Do you really think so?Oh!I am flattered.' He looked at Lemmi.She smiled,but didn't say a word.

'Telepathy my dear Emperor.And yes,the first blood has fallen…but the fight is not over.Defend yourself!' She dissapeared and before Ensis even realized what happened he felt his hands igniting the saber and striking on his left.Something metal slammed against the wall and harmlesly rolled to his feet.Lemmi's light saber.She reappeared infront of him,holding her right hand and trying to neglect the pain.She fell on her knees and started talking.

''I am sorry my Emperor!I wanted to test you before giving you the book you desire.You truly are the one that will rule us.You may take my life now.'' She exposed her neck.

''I would be a fool to kill you,Lemmi.Now…give me the Book of Blood.'' Ensis ordered with impatience.One of his guards went towards Lemmi's room.He was obviously her trustee.A few moments later Ensis rushed to his room,with a very old and heavy book in his hands.Blackfire just smiled and went to the ships bridge.She knew that her friend won't leave his room untill he reads the cursed thing.So,why not be usefull and supervise the systems in the meantime?Her guards were standing infront of the door,guarding her.

The signs in the book were not hyperborean.He wasn't reading them.They were reading him,examining his soul and torturing his sanity.The signs filled his mind with images of times long passed.He saw the man who wrote the book,after his battle with the demons.One of the demons told him everything he knew,before the man killed him.The man was called Staae'ten-du,and he lived in the time when cooked food was a novelty.It was a book of power,and just by reading it Ensis felt the demon power in him stir.He spent the whole day with the book,and gained knowledge about himself and the way to use his power.Exhausted,he fell asleep.

He was in a pretty little valley and he heard someone calling his name.He turned around and saw Mother in her form of wisdom.He quickly fell to the ground and gave her respect.Mother remained silent for a moment.

'Ensis,my son.You found the power.Now…help your friend find confidence.'

He woke,a bit confused and still tired.It was late but he figured that Blackfire needs his help.He smiled and grabbed a small suitcase near his bed.He forgot to give her her present.He walked to the bridge and passed near her guards.Blackfire was watching empty space through the window.She looked sad.Ensis stood beside her.

''Whats wrong,Blackfire?'' He gently asked.

''Nothing important…I just remembered my past on Tamaran.'' She sighted and lighted a cigarette.Ensis followed her example.he remained silent.

''Ensis…do you know why I was never meant to be the Empress of Tamaran?'' She asked him with a strange voice.

''Because you were a bad girl,right?You probably did something that was forbidden.'' Ensis smiled with compassion.

''No.I was born.'' Blackfire said with bitterness.

''I don't get it.''

''You…are aware of my disability,right?'' She asked him almost crying.

''Yes I am.There are few people who know you but don't know about that.So what?It's no shame to have a condition.'' He assured her.

''You don't understand.On Tamaran,we kill children who are born with a defect.And I represent everything that Tamaran is against.I have black hair,black eyes and I can't fly or shoot bolts without this suit.I was left alive only because my father was the Emperor.People ignored me,I was not to be shown in public.They truly hate me.And my common name,Blackfire,is a insult.But I accepted it with pride.''

''What is your real name?'' Ensis asked with curiosity.

''Komman'Dr''

''And your sisters?''

''Korian'Dr''

''I see.Uhhh…in my culture we say that children born with a disability were brave warriors that were crippled by evil forces.We take care of them.I…have something for you,Komman'Dr.I ordered the scientists to make it.'' He opened the suitcase and pulled out a suit that looked exactly like the one Blackfire was wearing.

''Thanks but I don't need another pair…'' She said with humor.

''It's not the same.This one filters the sunlight much better and it will give you about 30 more power.'' He smiled.

She undressed and tried the new suit.The power it sent to her body was much greater and it seemed her cells ''understand'' it better.She was about to thank him when the ship stopped.They were in position.The ship they saw outside was…gigantic.

'Kitsar…you bastard!You never said it was so big!' Ensis thought and turned to Blackfire.She hugged him and they rushed to input commands for landing.The Lords of both worlds were waiting.
