Okay I kinda, sorta , half-way implied that I wouldn't post anymore of this story until I finished Nowhere Left (check my profile page for stories in progress if you have no idea what I'm talking about), but I couldn't resist. and this story ties into nowhere left , in a twisted convoluted sort of way. By the way there's a contest involved in this story. read the authors notes at the bottom of this chapter for the rules. And rule sticklers this story is in no way a contest itself!
Silkar walked through the compound watching as the people hurried around making the preparations for the journey that would be undertaking in a few days, He noticed that most of them were glancing at him and then noticing his gaze quickly glancing away with frightened looks. Silkar looked at them and wondered what they were thinking. Smiling to himself, he opened his mind to the disparate thoughts swirling around, breaking through the light shielding they had to penetrate their consciousnesses.
He felt some of the females admiration and desire for him, and he pushed himself at the outskirts of their minds revelling in their fantasies, he brushed over the fear the most of them had coursing through them at the thought of him, feeling pleasure with the power he had. In several minds he felt hatred and anger towards him, he pushed his way into those minds enjoying the pain he caused, he was careful to go just to the edge of their consciousness, just enough for them to know he was watching and to feel the brittle resistance that some of the stronger minds offered, before he crushed it, he penetrated their consciousnesses just enough to give them a taste of the searing agony that he could inflict if he chose, then he withdrew. They had a part in the plan to fulfil, so he couldn't offer them much more punishment…yet.
As he came back to himself, Silkar looked around taking pleasure in the fear in their eyes, the power was intoxicating they were his to do what he wanted to, and nobody was powerful enough to stop him. He cleared his face as his sister T'Kas came into the room, he knew that she disapproved of the "talents" he used, he knew she followed some of their grandfather's weak ideals .She refused to totally accept that they were the rightful rulers, Silkar could tell, that while she would do nothing to stop there plan, she was not fully committed. Silkar felt fury that the old man had managed to contaminate her with his poisonous thoughts before he had been killed. He couldn't imagine how they could both have Solkar as their father. T'kas was so much unalike him. T'Kas just didn't understand.
They had power, so they should use it.
See that chapter was so short it's almost not a chapter. But to the contest not contest. It's a little piece of star trek trivia I think, If you use the internet instead of scouring your star trek books for the answer shame on you! but here it is in This chapter the Vulcan called Solkar shares the name of a character that is related to Spock, this wasn't mentioned in the epsiodes but appears in a star trek book. If you can find out how the character is related to spock and what book this tidbit of info appeared then you win. Your prize you ask?
A sneak peek at the first chapter of Nowhere left and possible I haven't decided yet And ...Action
Hint: the author that wrote the star trek book where the answer can be found in also wrote the novel adaptaion of a popular television show in the past that involved aliens coming to earth and red dust. is your curiosuity piqued?I hope so. Feel free to PM me with the answer. and as always reviews are appreciated!
