Reanimations
"Boy, this looks familiar," whispered Allen as they stood in the circle inside Zancron's administration and hangar building. A large viewscreen was on one wall, and they were watching scenes of destruction.
"That was two hundred years ago," remarked Elephande. "They would have gotten worse."
"Yes," agreed Richard, "But are you not stronger also?"
"Of course he is, are you insane?" asked Major Ali Spence.
"He does have a point," argued General Caleb Pomeroy.
"I hate it when people argue!" yelled out the spirit of Allysulia-Matriarch-Allyutig, causing many of the spirits and Elephande to laugh. "Shut up! All of you!"
"Before you go any farther, Allyutig, there is no valley for light-years around," laughed Elder Anine.
"Anineā¦" began Elephande.
"No valley?" said Allyutig. "I'll just change my line."
The Adepts and pilots looked confused. Then Allyutig erupted.
"Fools!" she yelled. "Do you want to wake the entire space station?"
"Actually, Allyutig," began Memdrian, "it's light outside. Everyone is already awake."
"See!" she yelled. "You woke them all up!"
The entire council was silent until a Dreg general spoke up.
"May I ask what that was about?"
Elephande replied, "Well, Sulit-Aladan, that," he paused until Allyutig had left, "was the matriarch of my old herd. She used that line all the time."
"She did," agreed Elder Anine, "It's a wonder she never woke the valley up."
The room erupted with laughter, and a boy of about 17 looked in.
"Did I miss something?" he asked.
Mekae looked at him. "I don't know your name, but you missed everything!"
"Where were we?" asked Elephande.
"Wouldn't you know?" asked Ali.
"Oh yes, here we were," he said, and continued. "The Cladlen were remarkable in the fact that they would never give up."
Another man rushed in. "Askinqua is alive, and he seems to be on Weyard for some reason. The people of Anegon saw him raise a black figure from a shallow grave."
The Adepts looked at each other, and they knew who Askinqua had raised from the dead. Mute was back, and there was no doubt he would exact revenge on them.
