Chapter 21

A figure disturbed the background. Relda turned around, and the figure came into focus. His skin hue matched Raylay's, but he lacked Raylay's long, jet black hair and beard. His hair and face were naked. He wore a flowing garment the color of the daytime sky.

"I am Corren," the creature introduced himself.

He laid his hand across his chest and bent forward, lowering his head. His voice was like a cool evening breeze.

"Where do you come from?" Raylay snapped.

"Quadrant 3," Corren explained. "I am one of the High Council. The Dialorians appointed us, but do not worry. I come with peace and fear."

Raylay sucked his teeth and stared at the ceiling.

"What is it you want?" He asked, starting to pick at his fingertips.

"My triplet daughters. Kaya, Anya, and Skyla, will be heirs to the Highest Appointee office. The one I now hold."

Twelve pairs of wide eyes peered between Relda and Raylay, fixated on Corren.
