Chapter Eight- Margtheo

If only Kaianaria had called after I had done it. Then my misery would be gone.

Aximili and I were only a few miles away from the location where the others were when an Earth bird flying above us, towards the base.

He looked up at the bird, as if he was confused.

((What's the matter?)) I asked him.

((Nothing.)) Aximili said, but I had the idea that he wasn't telling me the truth.

We continued to head for the area that Kaianaria had told us to meet them. Then we saw a shimmer in an area off a little bit.

Aximili stared at the area for a while, not moving. I stopped and turned. ((Ellimist.)) He said simply.

I stared at him, confused. ((What-)) I began.

But before I finished, the Prince ran towards the area. I closed my eyes, thought for a moment if I should follow him or not, then followed suit.

When we got there, we saw a human, staring at the sky. I looked at the human's pale green eyes.

Sighing, I turned to the Prince. ((He's dead.)) I closed his lifeless eyes shut and sighed.

((How did he even get here?)) Aximili wondered. He lifted the right arm of the human, showing a dracon burn.

((I don't know.)) I saw a card in his upper left chest pocket. I took it. It was an ID. (("Alax 'Fang' Nash.")) It said he was twenty in human years. I turned to the back of the card. ((Prince Aximili,)) I handed the card to him before he could ask why.

With confused eyes, he took the card and read the word on the back. He dropped the card and stared at the human nicknamed Fang. He shook his head in disbelief. ((No... not again...)) Aximili knelt next to his fallen brother.

Though he didn't show it, I knew he was sad. He was crying inside. He had lost his older brother once again.

I had flown past Ax and another Andalite that I guess is Margtheo. I saw Ax stare up at me but I was gone before he could do anything.

Then I saw the Military Base- or rather, flew into it.

The Base was using a cloaking device and shield at the same time.

Suddenly, a red light scanned me. I blinked, almost blinded. Then the shield dropped.

((Enter.)) A husky voice said in a monotone tone.

I would have shrugged if I was human. I flew in and let my instinct lead me to the part of the base where Lanritra was now.

About five minutes after finding the base, I found Lanritra- well, more or less, she found me.

((Who are you?)) She demanded as she placed her tailblade at my neck.

((Are you Lanritra?)) I asked. ((My name is Tobias Fangor. I am Elfangor's son,))

Lanritra lowered her blade a bit. ((Many claim to be Elfangor's son in order to get glory. But, yes, I am Lanritra.))

I almost sighed in relief. ((You have to come with me- as far as I know, you're our only hope in saving everyone that has Andalite DNA in their blood.))

The Andalite cocked her head to the side. ((What do you mean by that? I'm only a female Aristh in the military who's father was a disgraced Andalite, not to mention that he killed five of our own kin.))

((Listen, the only thing I know that could lead to the cure of the virus is that you are our only hope.)) I stated. ((We need you now. Kaianaria is already infected. She's dieing, like everyone else that has Andalite DNA will. We need to go now.))

She glared at me, tensing her tail. ((How do I know that you're not lying? That you're just telling me this so I'll go with you then you can use me to get something from my father?))

((I'm serious! Otherwise, why would your father even go see Kaianaria, if he promised to never talk to her again? Margtheo and Evworth are there talking with her also. We need to go, or else we'll all die.)) I told her. Man, she's hard to convince.

((Hey, what's this about all of us going to die?)) A male Andalite came up to us.

Lanritra glanced at him. ((Nothing, Chrisonikos. He's lying. Let's go to class,)) She looked at me over her shoulder as she and the confused Chrisonikos walked away.

I hate this thing.

Sighing, I flapped my wings, waited for the shield to open, and left.

People say the Earth's sky is blue. People say that we walk on solid ground. People say that we only have one life.

These are all facts, correct?

No.

Nothing is really a fact. There is a way for everything to be proven wrong.

For example, to some the sky looks like a shade of gray. Some people walk on water, such as the race that I am currently. As for the last one, this is my third life.

I am Elfangor and Alan "Fang". But those are my past names. Now I am Jehovah.

People who believe in Jehovah may think I am crazy for naming myself that, but I only had a choice in my name for my second life. The Phntmoes (Phntmo) chose that name for me. They think I am a god for I have had several lives instead of the one that many people are given.

So.

I am Jehovah.

And those who hurt those who I love will fear me.
