Liara was often afraid to use her telepathic abilities on others whenever they were nearby her for it's considered very rude to do so. But she has done it only when it had to be used.
So, as they all settled down for the night, she drew first watch and settled in for the first shift from nine to midnight when Kat takes over from her till 2 and her father from 2 to 5 the next morning.
So, as she waited and hoped, she felt like she wasn't alone and she stretched her telepathy to where the possible intruder might be coming from and she found him, near the edge of the camp.
She quietly left her post while leaving a shadow of herself there and dealt with the elite herself when she felt even more enemies coming. She knew that she had to warn the others and she did.
They dealt with the ambush and turned the whole damned thing around when Maren reappeared and had gotten Liara out of the way. She is often bringing in the light and this time, it was far stronger than was normal for her.
After the ambush, however, Maren explained why Liara Carter is so special. "She is her mother's daughter as much as she is yours Commander. and yet, she also seems to attract far deadlier enemies then the Coveant could ever throw at her. Because she is, by far, the most powerful telepath of our people and yet, she is also a half breed demoness as well."
"Half breed demoness huh?" muttered Emile, "she sure as hell doesn't look like one." When Liara tilted her head to the side because she heard something in the distance and somehow, figured out what it was. Just some birds calling to each.
And yet, Liara hasn't heard of the high priestess of her mother's people being an angel. "But," she thought to herself,"there are many odd things about mama that I never really knew about till I've met Maren."
So, a few hours after daylight appeared over the horizon, Maren told her that her mother is, was the daughter of the angelic high priestess and of a legendary demon prince.
She said,"Liara, one day these two sides will begin fighting over you and you'll have to choose whether or not you will accept both sides of her family." Liara told her nothing but God's honest truth. "Maren, I'll have both sides pumping through my veins. The wings of angels and the added strength of the demons. Besides, I am a Spartan after all."
after getting on the road finally, Maren sighed as she said to herself,"Oh Laura, your daughter is just as pretty, if not more so simply by being sired by a Spartan. But, I'm truly worried that she may also learn that her great grandfather's a faun and that the blood of the fauns runs through her veins as well. As it did within yours old friend. Please, God, watch over her and grant her the gifts of her mother's family."
Luke has kept a journal of fantastical creatures that they've heard of and seen when he came across a passage about angelically winged demons and fauns. And reread it to refresh his memory as well.
Meanwhile, Commander Carer knew that his eighteen year old daughter needed some time to think. And yet, all that Liara could ever think about was is what Maren had told her just that morning about her mother's very own and very odd and different family tree.
Both Noble and Nova could feel the tension building till they completed the mission and headed back to base for a full debriefing on it. s
he then flicked an ear because her faun ancestry has already shown as well as the strong telepathy and mild demon senses, like her sense of smell being a tad stronger than the others.
Liara's helmet, however, is made for her ears to fit an still be protected as well. Without hurting them and disrupting her sensitive hearing as well.
