Tyra-Lee gazed
at the holographic image filling the thirty-foot expanse of her far wall, as if
her bedroom opened out into space itself. A fleet of ships sat at rest in the
darkness, in perfect formation while it awaited her orders. Each ship was shaped
like a long, elegant arrowhead—the smooth, featureless surface dull silver with
blood-red markings, sleek and deadly-looking as the ancient weapon it
resembled. The ships gave no external hint of the hidden potential within, of
engines powerful enough to warp space and leap great distances faster than a
thought. Of weapons that could destroy suns. Of soldiers who would never tire,
never stop, and never show mercy.
At the forefront
of the fleet, the lead ship hovered alone within its own space, its red
markings touched with gold to distinguish it from those of lower status.
Tyra-Lee lay on
her front with her left cheek resting on her hands, her gaze slowly drifting over
the image. A shiver of anticipation raced through her slender form, warming her
bare skin beneath the cool covers of scarlet satin. Her fleet: her ships. The
sheer thrill of possession, the prospect of such power raised a heat within her
fiercer than lust. Fueled by desire, she turned away from the image to the tanned
figure stretched out on its stomach beside her. She reached out to stroke the
naked male torso with her long white fingers, but her caress stirred no
response. Cold anger replaced the hungry heat that had flared in her core, and
she scowled, her forehead tightening. It would seem her latest body slave had
expired during the night.

What a nice lady - fiery but also pluto-cold. Not sure I'd want to tangle with her...
ReplyDeleteLoved the fleet descriptions, and not sure what to make of the character...hopefully this expiring body slave isn't something that repeats with great frequency.
ReplyDeleteShe sounds worse than Darth Vader. Destructive fleet and killer of body slaves.
ReplyDeleteI love the description of the ships. The imagery of the arrowhead is spot on - these are not diplomatic ships! Someone certainly seems eager for war.
