A magnifiscent skyship, docked at the southeast peninsula, orobas had been right..
A shame he did not come along, something about it not being 'his fate.
"Welcome aboard, you must be the 'ivory' survivor, your name preceeds you and so does your history." the captain welcomed evrae on the ship.
Kseres sighed.. "Just.. call me Orrin.."
"will do" the captain laughed.. "Let me introduce myself to you anyway, my name is Uume and i am what you could call blessed with being a denimus hunter"
Orrin looked suprised, "So there are more planets out there who have been impeded by those things?"
"Heh" .. the captain nervously coughed.. "they are everywhere" "you could consider them a plague these days"
"Anyway, i was directed to ..your planet because of an anomaly"
"Wich is?" Orrin hastily responded.. fearing he could have meant lone..
"there is a certain individual on your planet literally functioning as a beacon for these Denimus flocks guiding them to find planets to..populate and devour"
Uume explained with a grim look on his face..
"and i think i know where this individual is located"
"But" Orrin interrupted "why exactly do you need 'me"
Uume firmly grabbed Orrin's shoulder and pulled him along a corridor.. "I captured a robotic kind of creature, highly advanced..part denimus as far as i can tell" "it keeps mentioning a certain 'white hair'"
"You fit that description, perhaps you can talk to it" "Ah, here it is.. in this room" Uume stopped and administrated a keypad opening the door..
Inside sat as described.. a highly advanced robotic creature, made of a combination of black and oddly colored orbs, screws, plates and tubes.. Its head seemed more like a series of sectional parts and artificial material never seen before..
"Is this the white haired one you talked about?" Uume asked, directed at the robot..
But it stayed silent staring into nothingness.
"Odd, normally it wouldnt know how to stop rephrasing the same message and now that you're here he wont speak" Uume sighed.
"Know what never mind it, perhaps his battery is dead" "lets go to my cabin and talk about what 'i know"
-
At Uume's cabin:
"Ok, lets cut to the chase" Uume sat down and emediately started talking..
"This ship has a scanning module concentrating on certain characteristics of the denimus, its how we found the robot but it also peaks out on a closeby location wich is why we are docked here"
Orrin looked out of the window, nothing but fields of green and in the distance the mountains.. "I dont.."
"The mountains" Uume interrupted him.. "Hes there"
"Who is?" Orrin replied.. "you still havent told me"
"Ive been doing my research" Uume continued.. "It seems like there once was a man within this very constellation who have combined the fates of several planets in range"
"I am abselutely convinced that this man is he who now has somehow integrated himself as part of the Denimus program"
Orrin staggered.. "You cannot mean the man i am thinking of" "it CANT be .."
"Lone" "Kauregal" both uttered in differ..
"W..WHAT?" Orrin hacked.. "a..actually im glad but.. kauregal has been dead for centuries!"
Uume frowned.. "glad?.. i dont see what you mean"
"I.. i thought you meant someone else when you spoke of all the things you did.. but how can kauregal still be around"
"I believe he isnt" Uume proceeded "I think this isnt kauregal at all but what he became, according to the recordings of your constellation"
"Could you explain?" Orrin asked walking around in the cabin in unrest..
Uume stood up from his captains chair, walked to the window and gazed.. "Wasnt he killed by a group of sages doing research on a powerful denimus uncovered on Hura?"
"But only after he had already threaded in the dimensional portal of that very Denimus"
"According to scientists of my own planet who have researched Hura, it is very likely that the sages did not even realise kauregal had already be drained of his very soul"
"So you mean, kauregal's soul is aiding the Denimus as their personal envoy?!" Orrin carefully putted forward..
"That" "Is another theory" ..Uume responded "I personally am of opinion that the Denimus consist of such a combination of energies that if there is nothing left of kauregal's soul anylonger..no"
"He has become whole with the Denimus, thoughts of his individual soul may exist within them.."
"Aiding the denimus" Orrin concluded..
"Have you been listening?" Uume sighed slightly irritated.. "Not aiding the denimus, hes now fighting them"
Orrin could not believe his ears.. "What?!"
Uume struck a powerful pose and spouted "I think Kauregal is trying to be in control, the robot.. it proves it.. he has found a way to actually capture part of a denimus!" "Like i have captured that shell!"
'no..he must be wrong' Orrin thought to himself.. why else had the Denimus been on a killing spree ever since that incident on hura..
"I will.. tame the robot, ill get through to it.. ill uncover what kauregal left covered!" Uume now laughed.. "That, is my intention"
Orrin shook his head.. "I cant help you with that" "You may have your ideals here, you may think of history.." "But have you really studied our history?"
Walking back toward the door Orrin ended the conversation.. "There has been nothing but destruction because of what kauregal uncovered, it all leads to him"
"Fine!" Uume yelled after him.. "Then go to the mountains and see for yourself!" "This is a war being won!"
And so Orrin did, leaving the ship he turned to the mountain path..leaving Uume's skyship behind him..
A Denimus hunter.. maybe.. but his scientific aproach clouded his vision.. If Uume was right and Kauregal truly was on those mountains, it was as a Denimus beacon and not an infiltrant, the robot proved nothing.. lone's death proved everything.
